When the Camera Records Events

When the camera detects motion within the specified zones,

video segments are recorded and saved to the C:\WiLife Video

folder, unless you are running in a pre-WiLife 2.0 version. Then,

recorded video is saved to C:\LukWerks Video.
Of course, if you specified a different storage file location while

completing the WiLife Install Wizard, then the WiLife Video

folder and video files will be stored at that location. (See the

graphic in this section for an example of the video storage

structure for the WiLife Command Center.)

In the graphic, you will notice multiple sub-folders included in

the WiLife Video folder. Each sub-folder represents a camera

that has been installed on the command center. Each camera

installed on the security system is given a unique MAC address.

It is this address that you see listed as the name for each sub-folder.
Video files are then stored under the folder representing the camera they were captured by.

Video files are saved in the standard Windows Media 9 Video file format (.wmv) and can be played using

Command Center’s Playback mode. You can also double-click on a .wmv file to play it using the standard

Windows Media Player.

Playback Mode Right-Click Context Menu Options

While playing through recorded video segments in Playback Mode, you can right-click on an active video

window to access the context menu.
This menu allows you to perform some operations that are not available from any other screen. These choices

include options for managing segments, uploading video segment to WiLife Online account, printing and

saving, and e-mailing.
Each of these operations applies to the current video segment. To manage a different video segment, click on

the segment in the Playback Navigation window.
