Luk Cameras are the smartest cameras on the market. At their core is a 400MHz
processor. Using the processor, they automatically adjust the video picture for changing
light conditions (auto-brightness), detect motion, and encode video using Windows Media 9
Video file format.
When the camera detects motion within zones you specify, it alerts Werks to record the
event, which it saves to the LukWerks Video folder.
The camera lens sits on a bubble, which you can move to change its viewing angle.
Additionally, you can adjust the focus by gently turning the lens clockwise or counter-
clockwise as necessary. You should find the focus setting works for most locations.
We designed this Luk Camera for indoor use. However, we specifically designed it to peer out of a window to
monitor the out-of-doors using the included suction cup, which you can mount to the front or the back of the
camera. Luk cameras can also sit on top a desktop, bookshelf, wall or ceiling using the Desktop Mount or Wall
Mount.
The Werks application supports up to six cameras.

The Outdoor Camera is another option used with the LukWerks Digital Video
Surveillance system. Like the Indoor Luk Camera, the Outdoor Camera uses
the Werks software and is compatible with other existing Luk Cameras. It is
unique, however, from other Luk Cameras because it is weatherproof.
The Outdoor Camera provides the same basic benefits of all Luk Cameras
including easy installation, plug-and-play, Homeplug, and a wide range of
configuration options for homes and small businesses.

UPPLY
The power supply connects to the camera using the provided CAT 5e cable. It serves two
functions.
First, the power supply provides power for the camera. Second, it is the network bridge
connecting the digital video feed from the camera to the PC running Werks.
There are a few rules you should know about using this unit.
1) Do not plug the power supply unit into a surge suppressor, a UPS, or some other
filtering unit. It can be plugged into a regular extension cord or non-surge power
strip.
2) Likewise, do not connect the power supply unit or the WiLife camera into other Ethernet or Power-
Over-Ethernet (POE) hardware. The Luk Camera and the Luk Camera power supply operate as a pair.
3) The camera will not operate with non-WiLife POE equipment.
4) The unit is designed to be used indoors.

The CAT 5e Cable carries DC power from the Camera Power Supply to the camera and provides the network
connection for digital data communications to and from the camera. The cable supplied with the LukWerks
system was specifically selected because it was small, flexible, and unobtrusive, in comparison to a typical CAT
5e cable.
