Using the Command Center

Overview

The WiLife Command Center provides a powerful-but-simple interface for managing cameras, recording video, tracking alerts, and configuring remote viewing. Once you learn a few of the basic elements, most operations are easy and intuitive.

TWO OPERATING MODES: FULL OPERATION AND BACKGROUND

The Command Center application has two operating modes: Full Operation and Background. In Full Operation Mode, Command Center provides you with a complete Windows interface, making it easy to monitor and manage your video feeds.

In Background Mode, Command Center closes its Windows interface and displays a small icon in the system tray. While running in Background Mode, Command Center continues to record video on motion, using very little CPU. This allows you to use all of your normal applications, even on a minimally-configured machine. Background Mode is another great feature of the WiLife system.

TWO MAIN VIEWS: LIVE AND PLAYBACK

The Command Center Windows interface has two main views: Live and Playback. The Live View allows you to monitor and manage the live camera feeds. The Search View allows you to find, view, and manage recorded video segments.

The title bar and the main feature buttons SETUP, GO TO LIVE VIEW/GO TO PLAYBACK, and WILIFE appear in both the Live and Search Views.
