Online Viewing Setup

Online Viewing allows you to view live video from your cameras anywhere and at anytime. If you did not set up Online Viewing during the Setup Wizard, first create a “WiLife Online” account at www.wilife.com/register. Learn more by reading the chapter Using Online Viewing later in this user guide.

Verify System Requirements

Before beginning the setup, confirm that your system meets our recommended requirements. Unlike a minimal WiLife setup, remote viewing consumes more resources and requires a high-speed internet connection to perform well.

MACHINE CONFIGURATION

For remote viewing, confirm that your machine matches or exceeds the recommended configuration.
