BASIC CONCEPTS
Before we dive into the overviews and how-to’s, let’s spend a few minutes explaining some basic concepts of the LukWerks Video Surveillance System.
1. Easy Setup
One of the design goals of the LukWerks Video Surveillance System was to deliver a system that you could setup in 15 minutes without special tools, drilling holes, running wires, or configuring networking equipment. It is important to us that you have a great experience right out of the box – one that exceeds the capabilities possible even with a professionally installed home video system.
You complete the setup process in three easy steps:
Step 1 – Install the Werks Software
Step 2 – Connect the USB Receiver Module
Step 3 – Mount Your Luk Cameras
With these easy steps you are up and going. Jump to the chapter on Getting Started for more details on the LukWerks setup process. One key to LukWerks Video Surveillance System is the use of Homeplug technology. Homeplug allows you to turn your existing wiring into a powerful network capable of delivering rich live video from around your property to your PC and from there anywhere you need it.
2. Powerful Cameras
At the heart of each Luk Camera is an imbedded computer that actively encodes, adjusts, and manages your video feed – Luk Cameras are the smartest surveillance cameras available. Because the LukWerks cameras are so powerful, they provide you with rich features without overwhelming the CPU on your PC.
Some of the one-of-a-kind features available on the Luk Camera include:
• High-quality video imaging
• Digital motion detection
• User definable motion detection zones
• Auto-image lighting management
• Onboard Windows Media Video encoding
3. Powerful Software
At the center of the LukWerks system is the Werks software. It is the most powerful video surveillance software available. Werks can manage full-motion video from six concurrent cameras, providing you with stunning live views into every camera while simultaneously recording any motion or scheduled events. Additionally, Werks uses a powerful alerts engine that communicates with your email server to notify up to ten e-mail addresses or cell phones that a camera has detected and recorded motion. When Werks detects motion on a specific camera, Werks will send out an email message, and at your option, you can set Werks to attached either a frame from the captured video or the video segment.
The Werks alerts are excellent news for you, but perhaps bad news for your sixteen-year-old son who wants to play around with your new sports car. Your garage camera can send you an email alert if anyone gets close to the car.

Werks uses a portion of the disk space on your PC to store the video captured by your Luk Cameras. In the default setup, Werks only records video when there is motion detected by a camera or during times when you have set a fixed recording schedule. In either case, Werks stores each video event as a separate clip to your PC hard drive. Some of these clips may be only a few seconds, while others could last hours. As a Setup option, you specify the maximum amount of disk space allocated to Werks. Once Werks reaches this limit, it makes space for new video clips by removing the oldest clips.
With the default camera settings, a typical home system with four cameras will use approximately 2GB of disk space per week.4. Anywhere Anytime AccessWerks, coupled with our My LukWerks services, delivers a unique Internet services component, which powers the ability for you to view live video from your cameras over the Internet and on video enabled cell phones.
