Alerts Tab Option

With the WiLife Command Center, you can receive e-mail and cell phone alerts (messages) when a camera detects motion. You have the option of receiving one of three message types: simple text-only, text and one frame of video, or a video clip. In any case, this e-mail alert option allows you to know when your cameras are capturing motion.

You set e-mail alerts on the Command Center Setup > Alerts dialog, which allows you to configure e-mail alerts.

Note: For WiLife Platinum users, when an email alert message is sent to you or an email recipient, that message includes a link that takes you to your WiLife Online account so you can see the video that triggered the alert.

The following graphic is a screen shot of the Alerts dialog:
