User Guide

Online Viewing

With WiLife Online, you can monitor nearly-live video feeds from all of your WiLife Command Center sites over the Internet to Windows Mobile-enabled cell phones, Internet Browsers, and other devices that support Windows Media 9 Video. You may have set up this feature when you ran the Setup Wizard. If you did not set it up at that time, please complete these steps to activate:

1) Connect your Command Center PC to the Internet using a high-speed service like DSL or Cable Broadband.

2) Go to Setup > Online. Click on the link that says ‘Create a WiLife Online account.’ Then follow the steps outlined in the WiLife Setup Wizard to create a new WiLife Online account.

3) Setup the Online Viewing options on the Command Center Setup > Online dialog.

Additionally, you can register several sites – your second home, the office, and grandma’s house – with your account. This allows you to quickly check all of your WiLife installations.

Once you have configured your PC and online account, you are ready to enjoy online viewing. Online viewing lets you monitor your property from anywhere and at anytime.

Use Online Viewing

When you enable Online Viewing, the WiLife Command Center PC becomes a video server ready to publish video through the secure WiLife network over the Internet to you, wherever you are. WiLife intelligently creates the most efficient path through your local routers to your remote device. You connect to your video feed by going to www.wilife.com and logging into your WiLife Online account – using your username and password (or PIN for cell phones). Once connected to your account, you select the site and cameras you want to view. The WiLife server then routes a live video feed to your device. For more information, please go to the chapter Online Viewing.

Running in Background Mode

As mentioned earlier, Command Center has two operating modes: Full and Background. While running in Full Mode you have full access to the complete Windows interface.

In Background Mode, Command Center runs silently in the background and displays an icon of the Indoor Camera in the system tray.

Switching between Background and Active Screen Modes

From the active screen mode, you can also tell Command Center to run in Background Mode using one of two methods:

1) Click the close box – – in the upper right-hand corner of the screen

2) Click the Command Center icon in the system tray and choose Hide Command Center In Background Mode, Command Center continues to record video, but uses

only a small amount of system resources. This allows you to use all of your normal applications on a minimally-configured machine. Background Mode is another great feature of the WiLife system.

From Background mode, the simple way to show Command Center is to double-click on the WiLife icon in the system tray. You can also open the full user interface by right-clicking on the Command Center icon and choosing the option Show Command Center (as shown).
