Setup > Alerts > Set Manual Alert Properties
The Manual Alert Properties screen allows you to view, set and edit alert properties for each camera on the
network message type, length of motion filter, and frequency of alert notifications. These properties tell
Command Center how to send alert notifications when you manually activate them in the Alerts Scheduler
Front Control Panel. You can also edit camera properties by clicking on the Edit button.
Use the illustration below as a guideline for completing the screen:
Arm Event Early Properties
The "arming an event early" feature is accessible from the Live and
Playback screens via the Alerts Scheduler Front Control Panel.
Using the Alerts Scheduler Front Control Panel, you can also
immediately arm manual alerts, disable an active alert, or access the
Recording and Alerts Schedule.
If an alert has not been armed, the Front Control Panel will display
"Alerts Not Armed," as shown in the graphic on this page.
Simply select the option "Arm Manual Alerts Now" (which activates
alerts until you manually turn them off) or "Arm <name of scheduled event> Early." Alerts are now armed.
The functions you can expect from the Alerts Scheduler Front Control Panel are described below:
ALERTS NOT ARMED
When you first install WiLife Command Center, the Front Control Panel will display "Alerts Not Armed" until 1)
you have set up your email server; 2) you have scheduled an alert event in Scheduler; and 3) you select "Arm
Manual Alerts Now" or "Arm <name of event> Early."
