Scheduling Alerts Overview

The Scheduled Alerts feature gives you the ability to easily create scheduled events which cause recording to take place, or which arm email or cell phone alerts during selected periods of time.

Scheduled Alerts makes your Command Center a notification tool -- turn email and mobile phone alerts on or off at certain times, day and night. Events will automatically be armed at the times you scheduled.

Alerts are created using the Recording and Alerts Schedule calendar, a simple click-drag-and-release interface, which allows you to view your Command Center schedule and modify or create new schedule events. The calendar displays only one week – each event scheduled occurs every week.

With Scheduled Alerts enabled, your WiLife Command Center will notify you based on the motion sensed by your cameras, using one of three options: a simple text-only message; a text message that includes one frame of video; or a video clip. You can also create “no motion” alerts that will notify you that an expected event did not occur.

Functions of Scheduled Alerts also include the following:

Set a user-configurable Delay time when arming events manually, or when arming the next event early. For example, set the "delay before activated" time at five minutes. This allows you to get out of the building before alerts are armed.

If a recorded video clip caused an e-mail or cell phone alert, Command Center will flag the video segment. This flag is stored in the .wmv file's metadata and can be used as a search criterion on the Online Search and Playback page of your WiLife Online account.

A link will display in the e-mail alerts that open your WiLife Online account and allow you to view the video that triggered the alert.

Recording and Alerts Schedule Screen Overview

The Recording and Alerts Schedule Screen allows you to create, edit, or delete recording and alert events using a simple click-drag-and-release calendar. The calendar displays only one week – each event scheduled occurs every week.

There are four types of recording and alert events you can schedule.

Events	Description
Arm Alerts	Create an event that arms alerts during a specified period of time, for specified cameras,
	and on specific days. Email and mobile phone alerts will be sent during these time periods.
No Motion	Create an alert event in which an alert will be sent if no expected motion has occurred
	during the time period. Perfect for situations that have to happen, such as the kids walking
	into the house after returning home from school or an employee arriving on time to open
	the store.
	If this event type is selected, the user can further indicate whether he wants to be notified
	by the first qualified motion event during this interval or the last.
Continuous Recording	This causes Command Center to turn recording on during the time period.
Turn Recording & Alerts Off	This selecting causes that no recording (even with motion) will occur during the time period.
