Take the time to carefully place and hide your cables. We have included a thin silver cable and cable coupler to help you create an attractive install.

If you move cameras from one system to another, you should always reset the cameras using a paperclip.

Having problems discovering cameras. Follow these steps:

1.Verify the injector and camera have power.

2.Ensure all cables are connected and tested.

3.Confirm that the camera has received an IP address from the network. When the camera is searching for an address, all three status LEDs will flash in unison. Once it has received an address, the bottom LED will show solid.

4.Use Setup...Advanced...Find My Cameras to search for

Before You Get Started

A. Ensure the PC meets these system requirements:

Requirement			Number of Cameras
	1	2	3	4	5	6
CPU Speed*	2.2 GHz	2.4 GHz	2.6 GHz	2.8 GHz	3.0 GHz	3.2 GHz
Memory (MB)**	512	512	512	768	1024	1024
Video Card (MB)	32	32	64	128	128	256
Display Resolution		1024 X 768 or higher, 32 bit color
Hard Drive (MB)	150 MB for program and a minimum of 10 GB for video storage
Operating System		Microsoft® Windows® XP or Microsoft Vista™
Media Player	Microsoft® Windows® Media Player version 9 or later

*Intel® Pentium 4 CPU speed. Dual-core Intel and AMD processors deliver similar performance at lower clock speeds.

**Microsoft Vista requires more memory to deliver equal performance.

B. Test Internet connection speeds for remote viewing and e-mail & cell phone alerts:

Feature	Internet Bandwidth Requirement
E-mail & Cell Phone Alerts	Upload at 64 Kbps (ISDN, DSL, Cable) with always-on link.
Remote Viewing	Upload at 128 Kbps (DSL, Cable) with always-on link.

Test upload speeds using one of many online speed test sites. We recommend www.speedtest.net or www.speakeasy.net.

C. Use CAT5e or CAT6 cable only. Validate hand-built cables using a professional cable tester. All cables pairs (1/2, 3/6, 4/5, 7/8) must be sound.

WARNING: Mis-connected cables may cause damage to either your cameras or network equipment.

D. Gather the following setup information:

E-mail address (to be used as WiLife Online account user name) and password.

E-mail (SMTP) server, user name, and password for set up of e-mail and cell phone alerts.

Step 1 Set up Power Injector & Cameras

The WiLife Pro Power Injector delivers power over the Ethernet lines to each WiLife Pro Camera.

Connect the WiLife Pro Injector power supply. Consider using a UPS to protect against brief power outages.

Connect one patch cable (provided with camera) for each camera from the LAN to the “To Network” injector ports 1 through 6.

Connect WiLife Pro Cameras to injector “To Camera” ports, using the same ports connected to LAN.

By default, the cameras will search for an IP address using DHCP. While the cameras are searching for an IP address, all three status LEDs will flash. When the camera has obtained an address, the bottom status LED shows solid.

You can now proceed to step 2.

Using Fixed IP Addresses (Advanced)

Use DHCP whenever possible. But, if you must assign static IP addresses, follow these instructions:

Copy the WiLifeSetIPAddress EXE and PDF to the PC hard drive. The files are located on the WiLife CD in the bin directory.

Run the WiLifeSetIPAddress program, first ensuring the WiLife Command Center is not running.

Select the LAN Network Card and click Start to search for your cameras. Enter the IP addresses and click Set to write the address to the cameras. You can get additional information by reading the WiLifeSetIPAddress PDF.

Step 2 Install WiLife Software from CD

The WiLife Command Center Software turns a standard PC into a powerful video security control station.

To install the software, ensure you are logged in as Administrator.

The installation process takes several minutes and includes powerful tools like Microsoft .NET 2.0, UPnP, and Intel IPP.

You are required to reboot the machine after the install to ensure the drivers are properly recognized by Windows.

Step 3 Complete First Run Wizard

The wizard automatically runs as you start the Command Center for the first time. It walks you through the initial setup of system options and configuration of your cameras.

Create a new account or use an existing account for WiLife Online access.

Select the WiLife Pro Power Injector networking option.

Step 4 Confirm Online Direct Connect

There are two methods for connecting to the WiLife Online servers - direct and relay. Direct mode is the best.

In relay mode, video is relayed through WiLife servers, avoiding

router and firewall setup - but, it includes limits on viewing time. In direct mode, video is routed directly to remote viewing clients, enabling unlimited viewing time and faster connections.

By default, WiLife will automatically attempt to configure the local router and firewall to enable Direct connections using UPnP. In most cases, it is successful.

To verify that WiLife was able to configure your router, open the Setup...Online tab in the Command Center and look for the connection mode. If it reads Direct Mode, you are done.

Follow these steps to manually configure your system for Direct Connections:

Enable UPnP on your firewall or router, if possible or ...

On your router, map ports 20570 to 20572 (TCP) to the computer's IP address. You may find the site www.portforward.com helpful.

Restart the WiLife Command Center and recheck the Online Status.
