This article explains just a few of the main features of the powerful video surveillance software that comes with the Indoor, Outdoor or Spy Camera Digital Video Surveillance System.
Werks provides a powerful-but-simple interface for managing cameras, recording video, tracking alerts, and configuring remote viewing. Once you learn a few of the basic elements, most operations are easy and intuitive.
TWO OPERATING MODES: FULL AND BACKGROUND
The Werks application has two operating modes: Full and Background. In Full Mode, Werks provides you with a complete Windows interface, making it easy to monitor and manage your video feeds. In Background Mode, Werks closes its Windows interface and displays a small icon in the system tray. While running in Background Mode, Werks continues to record video, using very little CPU. This allows you to use all of your normal applications, even on a minimally configured machine. Background Mode is another great feature of the LukWerks system.
Playback View allows you to find, view, and manage your recorded video segments, which Werks stores in a database on your computer. Your cameras create these segments according to your settings. By default, each camera is set to record when motion is sensed. You can also set the camera to record continuously during specific times or inhibit recording using the Recording Scheduler. (See Recording Options in the Application Setup chapter for more details.) Review Stored Video Segments.
The Playback Navigation window provides fast access to recorded video segments using the mouse or keyboard. The Playback Navigation window consists of the following components: Window Timescale, Date/Time Header, and the navigation window, which displays the camera name and the recorded video segments captured for each camera. (Video segments will display as alternating light and dark green shaded bars to better distinguish between video segments recorded consecutively.)
When playing video segments, you can select one, several, or all cameras for review. By default, all cameras are selected. Selecting only a few cameras reduces the volume of video that must be loaded into memory before playing clips. This may improve performance on minimally configured machines.
Like any DVD player, the Playback Controls allow you to play, pause, adjust speed, and step-through your video segments. You use the controls by clicking on each one. If you hold your mouse over the control, Windows will display a tool tip, indicating the name of each control. We also provide keyboard controls which we describe below.
Use the following list of icons and descriptions to help you understand how to navigate through recorded video segments. You can also delete video that you have recorded.
Using Remote Viewing
When you enable Remote Viewing, the Werks PC becomes a video server ready to publish video through the secure LukWerks network over the Internet to you, wherever you are. LukWerks intelligently creates the most efficient path through your local routers to your remote device. You connect to your video feed by going to www.wilife.com and logging into your My LukWerks account – using your username and password (or PIN for cell phones). Once connected to your account, you select the site and cameras you want to view.
Enable & Disable Motion Detection
The default settings enable motion detection in all cameras you setup. To validate this, open the Setup -> Recording tab and inspect the “Enable Motion Detection for All Cameras” option. You will see a checkmark in the checkbox. To disable motion detection, simply click in the checkbox so that the checkmark disappears. Remember that you have disabled it for only the camera selected in the Setup screen. When motion detection is turned off, your cameras will record only during scheduled recording times.
Many other features are available from the Werks power video surveillance software from surveillance recording scheduling to monitoring your business of home surveillance cameras from any Internet enabled cell phone from anywhere in the world or surfing on the beach. LukWerks provides remote viewing using Windows Mobile cell phones, handheld’s, and web browsers. The common requirement for a compatible web browser is support for Windows Media Player 9. The common requirement for the cell phone is also support for Windows Media 9. Usually you can find these phones labeled as Windows Mobile or Windows Smartphones. LukWerks is compatible with a wide range of Microsoft Windows Mobile cell phones and wireless handheld’s. Of course, these devices require Internet access either through a cell service provider or wireless Internet hub, depending on your device.
You can even have cell phone alerts when video is detected. Most modern cell phones and cell phone providers support messaging. You can send alerts to your cell phone just like email messages. The trick is determining the email address for your phone. The typical format for these email addresses is ##########@yourprovidersaddress.com, where ########## is your cell phone
number.
