scheduled and manual.
Password Note: If you activate Password System Lock, then you can have the peace of mind that events can't be armed or disarmed without your password.
Option | Description |
|
|
Alerts Not Armed | When you first install WiLife Command Center, the Front Control Panel will |
| display "Alerts Not Armed" until 1) you have set up your email server; 2) you |
| have scheduled an alert event in Scheduler; and 3) you select "Arm Manual |
| Alerts Now" or "Arm <name of event> Early." |
| Note: You do not need to create an alert event to select "Arm Manual Alerts |
| Now." And, the manual arming of alerts is available with or without the WiLife |
| Platinum upgrade. |
|
|
Arm Manual Alerts Now | If you select Arm Manual Alerts Now, then an alert will be sent each time there |
| is a qualified motion event. This overrides anything you may have set up in |
| your WiLife Recording and Alerts Scheduler. Once alerts are armed manually, |
| the Front Control Panel will display "Alerts Manually Armed." |
| When you select "Arm Manual Alerts Now," you can specify a delay time. This |
| enables you to get out of the building before alerts are actually armed. Select |
| a delay time of zero if you want arming to be immediate. |
|
|
Arm <Name of Event> Early | The Alerts Scheduler Front Control Panel will always display the next scheduled |
| event in the scheduler's |
| scheduled event is called 'Event 6.' You simply click on the Arm Early item in |
| order to arm it earlier than it was scheduled. Once a scheduled event is armed |
| early, the Front Control Panel will display "Alerts Armed Via Schedule." As with |
| manual arming, you can specify a delay time before the event is actually |
| armed. |
| This Alert feature is great for quickly enabling email alerts as you leave work |
| earlier than usual, and want to turn alerts on early. |
|
|
Disarm Manual (or <name of event>) | If you want to manually turn off all alerts, simply select the "Disarm Manual |
Event | Event" or "Disarm <name of event>." Selecting this means that even if you |
| have qualified motion events, (and scheduled alert events), no alerts will be |
| sent. In other words, cancel any currently active alert event or turn off the |
| active manual arming. |
| Note: This option does not turn off future alerts. It only terminates any alert |
| (either manual or scheduled) that is currently active. |
|
|
View Schedule | The View Schedule option opens the Recording and Alerts Schedule Screen, |
| allowing you to define periods of time when alerts or recording events should |
| happen. Each scheduled event specifies a start time, end time, days of the |
| week assignments, camera assignments, and a Schedule event or recording |
| type. |
| Note: Command Center does not allow you to create two scheduled events |
| with overlapping times. Also, creating scheduled alert events is only available |
| with WiLife Platinum. Creation of scheduled recording events is available with |
| or without Platinum. |

COLOR USES FOR CAMERA CONTROL ACTIVITY PANEL
In conjunction with Scheduled Alert functionality, the Camera Control Activity Panel uses colors to identify their status. For example, if the circle surrounding the camera's number is red, it means that qualified alerts are armed and will be sent. If the circle is gray, it means the camera is not detected.
A tool tip will give some information as to why the particular camera is or is not armed. Here are the possible tool tip messages:
Camera disabled | Alerts manually armed | Camera not detected |
