2.3.1. Connecting via Ethernet Cable

Connect the camera to the router on the LAN ports with a network RJ45 Ethernet cable (shown below). You may use the cable that came with the package for initial setup; however, you may be required to switch to wireless seng or purchase a longer cable to extend the camera for longer range. As a rule of thumb, if your camera is close enough to the router use Ethernet cable if possible for optimized result; and for wall mount installaon, it's best to adopt wireless setup. You can choose either way for the applicaon you nd suitable.

If you are connecng to the Internet without going through your router, you can connect the camera directly to your modem (given that your Internet service is using PPPoE protocol). Please consult your local ISP provider for more detail. Basically, the PPPoE seng is exactly the same as your router. You need to provide at least the Username and Password to get access.

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.

Default DDNS name: Each camera has a unique DDNS name printed on the back of your camera. It is the default DDNS name.

DDNS Alias: You may try to rename it (alias) to a name so that you can memorize it beer. For instance, you can use your inials with your birthday as a combinaon; for example, ab19791220. Then you need to check whether the name has been taken by someone else by clicking on Check Availability buon. If the alias is not being used by others, then you can access the camera with both your default DDNS and the new alias DDNS (ab19791220.engeniusddns.com).

Refresh Time: opons are 3HR, 6HR, 9HR, 12HR and 24HR. DDNS server needs to synchronize with your IP address often so that you can access your device over the Internet with DDNS name. Depends on your Internet Service provider, your WAN IP address lease me will be dierent. You can check with your local Internet Service provider for WAN IP address refresh me. The default seng is 24HR (which means DDNS server will check the synchronizaon every 24 hours). Normally, the default seng 24HR is okay for most cases.

Resoluon

Usually you do not need to worry about this page seng. However, you may need to know that the camera has two concurrent video streams running at the same me. Stream 1 serves for monitoring over browser while Stream 2 serves mobile APP EnViewer. The reason that Stream 2 has lower resoluon (VGA) is that mobile devices have smaller screens and have limited network bandwidth than regular PC/Laptop; therefore, keeping lower resoluon helps to smoother the view.

Codec

This seng determines what codec used for video compression. Please use the default for optimized performance. The compression method aects overall performance and media le size. The opons are reserved for advanced purposes only.

Max frame rate

This seng determines how many frames are taken per second. This seng aects the quality of the video. High frame rate results in smoother video but larger video le.

A key part about EnGenius Cloud Service is DDNS. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a type of DNS that works with dynamic IP address. DDNS keeps update its mapping regularly and ensures a consistent matching so that your device can be accessed over the Internet using a fixed DDNS name. You can either use the default EnGenius DDNS Service or other 3^rd party Service you prefer.

ENGENIUS EDS6255 - EnGenius Cloud Service - 4

Users are recommended to use the free DDNS address printed on the label enclosed in the package. This is because ISP often leases dynamic WAN IP address that changes from time to time. DDNS domain name will always be the same even if the WAN IP address changes. The domain name can also be found on your System→Status page.

5.6.2. WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network security standard that allows users to easily secure a wireless network. This feature allows user to setup wireless conncon between the camera and AP without entering any detail wireless security conguraons such as SSID, encrypon method or pre-shared key (password). However, you need to initiate WPS process on both the camera and the AP at the same me so that they can nd each other.

Normally, for WPS-enabled products, you should be able to nd the WPS buon on the product. Only few rare cases that require user to initiate WPS process over web page. Make sure WPS feature is Enabled on both the camera and your AP or wireless router. Then, you need to know how to initiate AP or wireless router's WPS process rst. It is mostly likely a simple push of the WSP button on your AP or wireless router. On EDS6255, you can initiate WPS process on the web page or by pressing the WPS buon.

WPS Buon

The simplest way to setup wireless conncon with an AP or wireless router is by pressing on the WPS buon.

First, press the WPS buon on the AP (there may be changes on the LED lights as signs of iniaon).

Then, press the WPS buon of the camera.

Wait a minute for two devices to establish the wireless conncon.

This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

Moon Detection Window is a hot zone that the camera analyzes for moon (image changes). When a moon is detected within the zone an event will be triggered.

When the window is selected, use your mouse to move the window to the area you intend to monitor. There can be 3 windows at the most. The Windows are dierenated by color; Window 1 is Green, Window 2 is Red and Window 3 is Blue.

Video OSD Prompt displays the warning on the top li of the live view page when moon triggered.

Uncheck the window to remove the window from the view.

Sensitivity: Level 0% to Level 100% (with Level 100% being the most sensitive)

Depends on your applicaon, high sensitivity will trigger event more oen than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos. However, overly sensitive events will ll up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of les can become a problem when you need search through each of the les to nd what you are really looking for. It may take some me for you to ne tune the opmal sensitivity for your applicaon.

You can adjust the motion detecting area by dragging the four corners to resize the window.

6. Camera Connecng to Other Router

Normally, you do not need to make any changes to your router setting to be able to use the camera. However, in case if you experience issues in connecng the camera, you should probably check for the following sengs. UPnP, UPnP Traversal and Firewall.

UPnP and UPnP Traversal:

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows the other device to detect the presence of the camera so that communicaon become possible. Please ensure that your router supports UPnP Traversal and has it enabled. Most of the modern wireless router today supports this feature. You should enable UPnP if you wish your camera to be recognized by the home router. If you can't nd the related settings, they are most likely enabled by default. UPnP Traversal makes camera remote access over the Internet possible using camera DDNS name.

Firewall:

By default, the rewall funcon of the router is not congured to liter out specic trafc. However, in case if you have trouble accessing the camera view, it's likely that the trafc has been blocked by the rewall on your router. You may want to double check whether you have blocked the service ports. Check the camera seng System→Service Port. Make sure you do not block the following ports: 80, 50000, 554, 50045, 9091 and 50075.

ENGENIUS EDS6255 - Firewall: - 1
