Live Mode Right-Click Context Menus
The WiLife Command Center provides quick access to common functions through context menus on the Video
Windows and Camera Alerts buttons. To access the context menus simply right-click on the object and choose
between the various commands.
The following table describes each of the options:
Print or Save Live Video Frames
Using the Video Window context menu (right-click on one of the windows in the Live mode), you can choose to
print or save the current image displaying in the window.

PRINT A CURRENT FRAME

When you select Print Current Frame, the Command Center uses the Windows print interfaces, which will
automatically try to adjust the picture to match your printer’s capabilities. You may not get great results when
printing to a black and white printer. You find these options only on the live view context menu.

SAVE A CURRENT FRAME

When choosing Save Current Frame, Command Center gives you the ability to save a current frame in four
formats: JPEG, BMP, PNG, and TIFF.
If you select to save the frame in JPEG format, you have the ability
to select the quality setting by entering a quality figure (from 1 to
100%) or manually moving the quality bar, as shown in the
graphic below.
The default name of the file represents the camera name and
date. However, you can change the filename.
Command Center also remembers the last file type you selected,
the directory you saved the last image to, and the quality options
you selected. It will use these as defaults the next time you save
a current frame and let you choose the location and filename for
the image, which it stores as a JPEG.
