Introduction
EnGenius Indoor Mesh Access Point Camera is a new concept of dual band concurrent, high power, high sensitivity and strong reliability
for enterprise solutions. Easy setup and installation for combination of two products – Access point and IP camera, one PoE or DC power
solve the power input, and single UI interface for all configurations. To integrate the hotspot service and surveillance, EWS1025CAM not
only wireless mesh access point extends wireless access over large, metro scale areas, eliminates costly Ethernet cabling to every Wi-Fi
access point, but also provides high resolution video streaming for security. It can be easily deployed and maintained with no
configuration deployment and recovery capacity. Extended signal range from high-gain antenna arrays reduce the number of mesh
nodes typically required. The EWS1025CAM is a component of the EWS Neutron Series Switches, delivering a robust wireless network
with maximum capacity and uptime, the wireless mesh can be seamlessly deployed as an extension of wired and wireless networks,
with central management through controllers. No IT experts required for installation, system automatically determines the optimal
network topology and maintains the best connections between mesh nodes. The centralize functions of the wireless LAN to provide
scalable management, advanced security, seamless mobility, and proven reliability.
This device is an enhanced-powered, long-range wireless access point. It is designed to operate in numerous environments; from large
homes, small and medium-sized businesses, multiple-floor offices, hotels, and other venues, to larger enterprise deployments. Its
enhanced-powered, long-range characteristics make it a cost-effective alternative to ordinary Access Points that don’t have the range
and reach to connect to a growing number of wireless users who wish to connect to a large hotspot or business network.
To protect sensitive data during wireless transmissions, the device offers different encryption settings for wireless transmissions,
including industry standard WPA and WPA2 encryption. The device also includes MAC address filtering to allow network
administrators to offer network access only to known computers and other devices based on their MAC addresses.

Applications
Wireless LAN (WLAN) products are easy to install and highly efficient. The following list describes some of the many applications
made possible through the power and flexibility of WLANs:
Difficult-to-Wire Environments: There are many situations where wires cannot be installed, deployed easily, or cannot be
hidden from view. Older buildings, sites with multiple buildings, and/or areas that make the installation of a Ethernet-based
LAN impossible, impractical or expensive are sites where WLAN can be a network solution.
Temporary Workgroups: Create temporary workgroups/networks in more open areas within a building; auditoriums,
amphitheaters classrooms, ballrooms, arenas, exhibition centers, or temporary offices where one wants either a permanent or
temporary Wireless LAN established.
The Ability to Access Real-Time Information: Doctors/Nurses, Point-of-Sale Employees, and/or Warehouse Workers can access
real-time information while dealing with patients, serving customers, and/or processing information.
Frequently Changing Environments: Set up networks in environments that change frequently (i.e.: Show Rooms, Exhibits, etc.).
Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) Networks: SOHO users require a cost-effective, easy, and quick installation of a small
network.
Training/Educational Facilities: Training sites at corporations or students at universities use wireless connectivity to exchange
information between peers and easily access information for learning purposes.

Before You Begin

Before You Begin
This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius Access Point is essential to maximize the
Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing the Access Point in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell.
Considerations for Wireless Installation
The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in
the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings,
or other objects that the Access Point’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key
guidelines for allowing the Access Point to have an optimal wireless range during setup.
Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the Access Point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or
ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength.
Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the
signal strength of the Access Point. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open
doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can
also diminish wireless signal strength.
Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the Access Point’s
signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

to be installed.
When installation is completed, open the browser and login into the camera again. You should be able to see the camera
viewer in live as shown below. If you do not see the viewer that means you did not install WebCMS properly or try login using
other browsers.

NOTE
: If you are seeing grey color in the viewer, it is because the camera has detected insufficient of light in the room and
enabled night vision mode automatically. If you point your camera to a brighter area, you should be able to see it switched to
normal color mode. Try a few places to get a feeling on how it works. If listening closely, you may hear the click sound from the
camera when night vision is switched on and off.
