If you are viewing video Direct Mode, you are in the best possible mode. However, the Internet may still block
video for a number of reasons. If you do not see video after a few minutes, consider switching to Relayed
Mode, which uses our WiLife network and requires less browser ability. To switch to this mode, you simply click
on the button SWITCH TO RELAYED MODE. You can switch back to Direct Mode at any time.
There is no viewing time limit in this mode.

If you are viewing video in Relayed Mode, it is because your firewall or other Internet influences are preventing
direct access to your video. Relayed Mode directs the video feed through WiLife’s network to you. Because of
this, there is a time limit of 3 minutes for each viewing session. Of course, you can re-connect and receive
another 3 minutes viewing time, as many times as you want.
If you would like to use Direct Mode and not be restricted to a time limit, you can enable UPnP on your router.
If you cannot enable UPnP, you can manually set ports in the router for Werks to use. The port addresses
Werks uses are 20570 to 20575. (Contact the manufacturer of the router or see your firewall or router
documentation for complete instructions about manually configuring ports.)
If you are using Relayed Mode, you do not have the option to switch to Direct Mode.
Mobile devices will always use Relayed mode.
