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 time-line. In the graphical image on this page, the next

 

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
