Chapter 3 Accessing the Camera after Installation
There are several ways to get access to your camera throughout your home network. You should probably have a setup similar to the following diagram. You can manage the camera using your PC, Laptop, or via iPhone, iPad or Android-based mobile devices; we will call it management station in the following context. Note: Please be advised that management station and the camera must be connected to the same gateway or router.
Managing using PC or Laptop EnViewer Finder by EnGenius EnViewer Finder is an utility tool provided by EnGenius that helps you to discover the camera within the local network. You should be able to find the tool from the included CD in the package. Please copy the tool to your management station desktop for quick access when you need it. Please take note of the IP address shown. In this example, 192.168.0.101 is the camera IP address.
The EnViewer Finder will guide you step by step through the basic settings, including Network, EnGenius Cloud Services and Video Configuration. You can also switch between settings by clicking the icons on the top of the panel. In Config page, you can quickly set up the initial video settings. In EnGenius Cloud Services page, you can give a rememberable name for your exclusive Dynamic DNS.
EnViewer Finder>> Network Chapter3 | Accessing the Camera after Installation 21
EnViewer Finder: Network>> Mode There are three modes that your camera can get its IP address: DHCP, Manual or PPPoE. DHCP: It is the most popular way in the home network settings. It will request IP address from your gatewaty or router automatically. The requirement is that your gateway/router should enable DHCP (which is basically the default setting for most of the home gateway/ router products). You are not required to enter any IP related information.
EnViewer Finder: Network>> UPnP This feature must be enabled so that the camera can be discovered by UPnP services. Leave it enabled if you unsure what UPnP is. System Time Like any other surveillance system, time is essential because we want to keep track of the time of the events recorded or detected by the camera. By default, the camera is connected to a public time server (pool.ntp.org) and its time is always synchronized with the server over the Internet.
EnViewer Finder>> EnGenius Cloud Service Chapter3 | Accessing the Camera after Installation 24
EnViewer Finder: EnGenius Cloud Services>> Default DDNS name Each camera is distributed with a unique DDNS name and the default DDNS name is shown in the column. You can also find the default DDNS information on the QR code label inside the package. DDNS Alias You may give an rememberable for future access easily. For instance, you can use your nickname with cam as a combination; for example, supermancam.
EnViewer Finder>> Config Chapter3 | Accessing the Camera after Installation 26
EnViewer Finder: Config>> The camera supports two concurrent video streams simultaneously; by default, Stream 1 serves for monitoring over browser while Stream 2 serves mobile APP - EnViewer. However, you can switch the stream on both browser and EnViewer app manually. In this Config page, you will be able to get the URL of each stream and configure the basic video settings for each stream before getting started. URL The URLs are provided for your reference.
EnViewer Finder: Config>> Codec This setting determines what codec used for video compression. Please keep the default codec H.264 for optimized video quality. The compression method affects overall performance and file size. The options are reserved for advanced purposes only. Max. frame rate This setting determines how many frames are taken per second. This setting affects the quality of the video. High frame rate results in smoother video quality but it also generate larger video file size.
EnViewer Finder>> Upgrade EnViewer Finder also allows you to upgrade your camera firmware. The product feature may improve over time, you may check EnGenius official website for the latest firmware. New firmware may contain bug fixes or feature improvements which is beneficial to you. You need to download the latest firmware file to your local computer first.

EnViewer Finder>> Reboot You can reboot the camera on EnViewer Finder if the camera stops responding for unknown reason. Click on Yes to proceed. Note: It will take a while for the camera to come back on again. Therefore, the camera will not appear on the camera list if you rescan the network before it boots up.
Web Browser You can use web browser on the management station to access the camera by entering IP address or DDNS of your camera. DDNS works only if your gateway or router is already connected to the Internet. Please refer to the previous section EnViewer Finder: EnGenius Cloud Services if you do not know the IP address or DDNS of your camera. For this example, we have our DDNS and IP address as follows: DDNS: ooooooo.engeniusddns.com IP Address: 192.168.0.
EnGenius Gateway/Router If you are using EnGenius IoT Gateway or Intelligent Router or, you can manage the camera through the gateway/router Graphic User interface (GUI). The benefit of this is that you can manage both the gateway/router and the camera on a single integrated user interface. Please refer to Manage camera over EnGenius Gateway/Router section for detail.
Manage using Smartphone or Tablet You can manage your camera over smartphones or tablet using the free EnGenius APP EnViewer. EnViewer currently supports the two most popular Android and iOS platforms. Please search the keyword “EnViewer by EnGenius” in Google Play if you are using Android-based devices or in APP Store if you are using iPhone or iPad. For more detail on its usage, please refer to the chapter EnViewer APP.

Wireless>> WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network security standard that allow users to easily secure a wireless home network. This feature allows user to set up wireless connection between the camera and home gateway/router without entering any detail wireless security configurations such as SSID, encryption method or pre-shared key (password). However, you need to initiate WPS process on both the camera and the gateway/router at the same time so that they can find each other.
WPS over web page You can initiate camera’s WPS process on the web page. First, press the WPS button on the gateway/router (there may be changes on the LED lights as signs of initiation). On camera’s WPS page, press Start to Process. Wait a minute for two devices to establish the wireless connection; when the connectivity is complete, the WPS LED indicator will become solid green. WPS NOTE: For WPS to setup wireless connection successfully, timing is essential.
Wireless>> AP Profile You can keep several AP Profiles (settings) if your application may need to switch between APs in case one of them failed. Each profile matches to a specific AP.
App Profile >> Add >> WEP Please note that WEP has proven be insure, this security option is reserved only for legacy products that supports WEP only.

The overlay will be shown on the upper left corner of your live viewer as shown below.
Stream1 and Stream2 There are two streams running concurrently: Stream 1 and Stream 2. By default, Stream 1 has the higher resolution than stream 2. Stream 2 serves lower resolution for mobile devices which has smaller screens. Each stream has independent settings. Compression Format: H.264 is suggested that serves the best compression quality. Resolution: This sets the resolution of the image. Higher resolution delivers higher quality image but consumes more storage spaces and network bandwidth. Max.
Media>> Camera You can get better image appearance by tuning the image parameters of the camera using the sliders shown. For example, in a dark room you may want to set the Brightness higher to generate clearer result. When directly facing an outdoor window, you may want to lower the Brightness a bit. There may be different settings under different circumstance; therefore, you should tune the value if the image quality has become too low to serve its purpose.
