Note: You do not need to create an alert event to select "Arm Manual Alerts Now."
And, the manual arming of alerts is available with or without the WiLife Platinum upgrade.

The Alerts Scheduler Front Control Panel will always display the next scheduled event in the scheduler's time-
line. In the graphical image on this page, the next scheduled event is called 'Event 6.' You simply click on the
Arm Early item in order to arm it earlier than it was scheduled. Once a scheduled event is armed early, the
Front Control Panel will display "Alerts Armed Via Schedule." As with manual arming, you can specify a delay
time before the event it actually armed.
This Alert feature is great for quickly enabling email alerts as you leave work earlier than usual, and want to
turn alerts on early.

If you want to manually turn off all alerts, simply select the "Disarm <name of event>."
Selecting this means that even if you have qualified motion events, (and scheduled alert events), no alerts will
be sent. In other words, this is the master “Stop” switch for any alert that may be active.
Note: This option does not turn off future alerts. It only terminates any alert (either manual or scheduled) that
is currently active.

WiLife Icon: System Tray Note: The context menu now includes the same options that allow you to quickly arm
or disarm alerts, both scheduled and manual.
Password Note: If you activate Password System Lock, then you can have the peace of mind that events can't
be armed or disarmed without your password.
Camera Alert Properties
The Camera Alert Properties screen helps you specify camera settings for alert events -- message type, length
of motion required before sending an alert, and the frequency of alert notifications.
The Camera Alert Properties screen is accessible from the Schedule Event Properties Screen > Event
Properties section. Simply double-click on the camera line or click the “Edit” button to open the screen.
