Using Online Viewing
Using the WiLife Command Center, and your WiLife Online account, you can access live video from your
cameras anywhere in the world using a Windows Media enabled Internet browser, wireless PDA, or mobile
phone.
When you enable Remote Viewing, your WiLife Command Center becomes a video server ready to publish video
through the secure WiLife network over the Internet to you, wherever you are. WiLife intelligently creates the
most efficient path through your local routers to your remote device. You connect to your video feed by going to
online.wilife.com and logging into your My WiLife account – using a username and password you set.
Once connected to your account, you select the site and cameras you want to view. The WiLife server then
routes a live video feed to your device.
During this process, WiLife automatically determines your system’s firewall settings and Internet capability in
order to stream video to you in the most direct way possible. If the Command Center cannot find a direct path,
we direct the video feed through WiLife’s network to you. We call this mode “Relay Mode.” In this mode, there
is a three-minute time limit. If Command Center finds a direct path, you are connected via “Direct Mode.” In
Direct Mode, there is no time limit. You can view a video feed for any length of time.
The following illustration shows the remote viewing process.
