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.
