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.
