EnGenius EDS5255 User Manual Download

Page: 44 / 166

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.

Congratulations, you are now ready to proceed with further camera settings!
