WiLife Power Injector using standard Ethernet cable. On the Ethernet line, the camera both communicates and
receives its power, making it easy to set up. Features include all of those present in the standard WiLife
Camera, and also include DHCP and fixed IP-addressing and WiLife Powered Ethernet.
There are many applicable locations for WiLife Cameras. Consider these scenarios, including suggested system
configurations:
Camera A new way to look
Camera 1 An Indoor Camera looks out over the driveway, has Auto Brightness
set to “On,” allowing it to automatically adjust to changing light
conditions.
Camera 2 An Outdoor Camera looks out over the backyard, has a defined
Motion Detection Zone set allowing it to capture motion only along
the top of the fence line.
Camera 3 An Indoor Camera monitors the front door and has an e-mail Alert
set, which will send a notification if anyone comes into the house
e.g. when the kids come home from school.
Camera 4 A Spy Camera monitors the computer room where the kids study,
using the PC for research and typing papers.
Setup allows you to configure each camera differently, based on its mission.

At the center of the WiLife Video Security System is the WiLife
Command Center, the most powerful video security software
available. The WiLife Command Center can manage full-motion
video from six concurrent cameras, providing you with stunning
live views from every camera while simultaneously recording any
motion or scheduled events.
Additionally, the WiLife Command Center uses a powerful Alerts
engine that communicates with your e-mail server to notify up to
ten e-mail addresses or cell phones that a camera has detected
and recorded motion. When the Command Center detects motion
on a specific camera, the Command Center will send out an e-mail
message; and at your option, you can set the Command Center to
attach either a frame from the captured video or the video
segment.
WiLife’s Command Center alerts are excellent news for you, but
perhaps bad news for your sixteen-year-old son who wants to play
around with your new sports car. Your garage camera can send
you an e-mail alert if anyone gets close to the car.
Some of the great features of the WiLife Command Center include:
• Monitor up to 6 cameras
• Automatic motion-triggered recording
• Easy e-mail and cell phone alerts
• Intuitive search and playback controls
• Fast video publishing and printing
• Intelligent disk management
The WiLife Command Center uses a portion of the disk space on your PC to store the video captured by your
cameras. In the default setup, the Command Center only records video when there is motion detected by a
camera or during times when you have set a fixed recording schedule. In either case, the Command Center
stores each video event as a separate clip to your PC’s hard drive. Some of these clips may be only a few
