Setting System Options
The default configuration of your WiLife Command Center provides you with all of the basic features activated
so that you have a fully-functioning video security system running in minutes. However, the Command Center
lets you change the settings to enable additional features like e-mail alerts, desktop notifications, and online
viewing. You can also upgrade to WiLife Platinum.
You find these options in the Command Center’s Setup dialog, by clicking the SETUP button from the Live or
Playback screens.
Overview of Command Center Settings
Using Setup is simple and intuitive. Simply click on the
SETUP
button on the main window. You find this
button next to the GO TO
LIVE
or GO TO
PLAYBACK
button. Additionally, you can right-click on one of the video
windows and choose one of the options we display. That too will take you into Setup.
Setup is like any other tabbed dialog in modern Windows applications. It consists of a title bar and various
tabs that show feature-specific fields and buttons, allowing you to set and modify camera and system settings.
Additionally, you may view information and statistics regarding the cameras, network, and system.
Command Center Setup Tabs
Setup is divided into five tabs— Camera, Recording, E-mail, Remote, and Advanced. To further introduce you to
these tabs, here is a table that describes each one:
