Getting Started
Overview
WiLife’s Werks application is very easy to deploy because of an installation process that we designed to be
user-friendly. Depending on how comfortable you feel installing the application, you can choose to use the
QuickStart instructions (found in the Installation Kit) or the comprehensive installation instructions provided in
this chapter.
Once Werks has been setup, all you need to do is plug in the cameras and you are on your way to using your
surveillance system. The Werks application automatically discovers all the cameras throughout the home and
displays the live video stream.
System Requirements
Below you can find the minimum and recommended requirements for systems running cameras using the
default QVGA (320 x 240) settings. Running your cameras in the higher VGA (640 x 480) mode requires
additional CPU.
