Alerts Tab Option
With the WiLife Command Center, you can receive e-mail and cell phone alerts (messages) when a camera
detects motion. You have the option of receiving one of three message types: simple text-only, text and one
frame of video, or a video clip. In any case, this e-mail alert option allows you to know when your cameras are
capturing motion.
You set e-mail alerts on the Command Center Setup > Alerts dialog, which allows you to configure e-mail alerts.
Note: For WiLife Platinum users, when an email alert message is sent to you or an email recipient, that
message includes a link that takes you to your WiLife Online account so you can see the video that triggered
the alert.
The following graphic is a screen shot of the Alerts dialog:
