Step 1: Enabling the Installation of APK Files on the Tablet

The eyLog application is not available through the Google Play Store, therefore needs to be downloaded and installed from our servers. To install such APKs from sources not known to the Google Play Store, a security policy on the tablet needs to be enabled.

  • From the Home screen, click on the ‘Settings’ icon. Note: If the ‘Settings’ icon is not visible on the Home screen click on the ‘Apps’ icon and you will find it listed here. 
  • From Settings, you should see an option for 'Security' 
  • Navigate to 'Install unknown apps' 
  • Here you will need to select the 'My files' option and select 'Allow from this source' and you will need to repeat this process for 'Samsung internet' 
  • Click on the Home button at the bottom of the screen to go back to Home screen.




Step 2: Downloading the eyLog Application APK File to the Tablet

The browser will automatically download the APK file and will save it to the ‘Downloads’ folder on the tablet.


Step 3: Installing the eyLog Application

From the ‘Apps’ screen, click on the ‘My Files’ icon and navigate to the ‘Installation file’ location. In the list of downloaded files, tap the eylog.apk file. Click ‘Install’ in the dialog box that pops up to complete the installation.





After the installation is complete, click ‘Open’ to open the eyLog application, the Serial ID and Password screen will load. Enter the 16 digit Serial ID and Password unique to your nursery.


Note: Move your mouse over your manager profile picture on your eyLog Manager Dashboard then select System Settings, then System from the menu options. Please enter these exactly as shown on screen, retaining the case and hyphens.
