Desktop Notifications

Desktop Notifications allows you to set unique PC alerts that include thumbnails of a video clip, text, and even

a distinguishing sound so that you not only see the notification but you hear it as well.

Desktop notifications display whenever an important WiLife Command Center event occurs such as a camera

was lost/found, a scheduled event was started/stopped, an online viewing session was started/stopped, or

motion was detected by a camera.

Note: You can enable/disable desktop notifications from the WiLife Command Center Software icon in the

system tray.
Desktop notifications are set up on the Advanced > Alerts tab. See Setting Desktop Notifications for details.

Here are three examples of the notifications that will appear on the desktop.

New Camera Discovered

Camera Not Detected

When a camera is discovered by your Command Center, the
notification will display and give you details such as what
type of camera was detected, the firmware version, and its
MAC address.

When a camera is no longer detected by Command Center,
the notification will display and relay the camera's name so
you know exactly which camera to check on.

Motion Detected

When a camera detects motion, the notification will display
and relay the camera's name and display a thumbnail of
the recording as well as the date/time stamp the camera
detected motion.
