Use the Camera Activity Panel

The Camera Activity Panel allows you to monitor all your cameras at a glance. It shows you which cameras are connected, set for e-mail alerts, and recording. From this panel you can also quickly turn cameras on and off.

There are right-click menu options available for blue and red colored circles if there is an active scheduled alert (i.e. the circle is red). In this case, you can right-click and change the alert settings for a particular camera for the currently-active alert.

Switch Cameras On and Off

At times, you may want to easily turn cameras off. Perhaps you are having a family party in the backyard and there is no reason to record all the activity. To turn a camera On and Off, click the On/Off button below the camera number. When the button reads On – – the camera is operating normally. When the button reads Off – – the camera video feed is disabled until you click the button again.

Digital Pan-Tilt-Zoom Panel

With Digital PTZ, you can narrow in on specific areas of your WiLife cameras viewing area.

For example, zoom in on the cash register and get a close up view. The Digital Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) section increases your monitoring capability and scope by allowing you to select a camera from the WiLife Command Center Live View and digitally reposition the camera so that it pans left or right, tilts up or down, or zooms in on the scene displaying.

Digital PTZ works within the viewing area of the lens used in the camera. For example, a 120 degree angle lens has the panning and tilting range of 120 degrees; for an 80 degrees lens, an 80 degree panning radius, etc. This also means that if you are using the zoom option, you cannot zoom out past the image range of the lens. A completely zoomed out image for a 120 degree lens would show the full 120 degree image, with no options to zoom out any further.
