Protect a Recorded Video Segment
The Command Center automatically deletes old files as it reaches its disk storage limit. It
does this by deleting the oldest recorded video segments to make room for the new video.
In some cases, you may have a segment that you want to protect for an extended period
of time.
To protect a segment, navigate to the segment so that it is paused in the Playback
window. Next, right-click on the video window to reveal the playback context menu and
choose Protect Video Segment. You can easily identify a protected video segment
because it will show red rather than green in the navigation window. (See
Managing Disk Usage in the chapter on Command Center Options for more
details on disk space usage.)
Note: You can protect a video segment by right-clicking on a green video
segment in the timeline and selecting Protect Video. Also, when two or
more consecutive video segments are protected, the timeline will display
them using two different shades of red, as is shown here.
Unprotect Video Segment
Command Center makes it easy for you to unprotect a protected video segment. To accomplish this, navigate
to the protected video segment in the Playback window. When the video segment is displaying in the video
window, right-click on the image representing the video clip and choose Unprotect Video Segment. The video
segment will now display in the navigation window like other unprotected video clips, colored green.
Protect and Upload Video Segments
Store important videos recorded by your cameras on secure WiLife servers on the web. In fact, call it your very
own WiLife video vault!
Command Center makes uploading video segments to your WiLife Online account easy. Literally right-click on
the video file you want to upload and select “Protect and Upload Video Segments.” That’s it! Your video file is
transferred to a safe and secure WiLife server.
Once uploaded video segments are on your WiLife Online account, you can play them from anywhere in the
world, at any time; and share them with friends, family, and even local law enforcement, if needed.
The following graphic is an example of the uploading process screen that displays each time you protect and
upload a video clip.
Send Email Opens the Email Recorded Video screen, allowing you to send the current video frame, the
first portion of the video segment, or the whole segment, along with a written message, to
email recipients you can designate.
Properties Opens the Video Properties window, allowing you to see the metadata attached to the video
file. Details include the camera number, camera name, bitrate, and whether the file has
been protected, triggered an alert, and was uploaded to your WiLife Online account. You can
also enter your own brief description or upload it to your Platinum WiLife Online storage
account.
