Anyone with a cell phone or handheld device and a special hidden camera or even an indoor, outdoor or spy camera can use the same information to watch their children, elders or even pets over the Internet. But you need a very special camera that is relatively new in the surveillance market place. You can use up to six Indoor, Outdoor, Spy or Hidden Camera. They all have the same high powered feature rich LukWerk camera in them.
First of all you need a WiLife camera that uses HomePLUG technology to send video over your electrical wiring. This will work also if using the new Pro series cameras that are powered and send surveillance video through Ethernet cabling in a networked PC scenario. Installation of Pro cameras requires professional installation though from authorized dealers like GLC Enterprises.
Homeplug® technology uses your electrical wiring to create a high-speed network for communicating with each camera without the complexity of wireless networks and without the need to run network cables.
In addition to View video over the Internet or on Smart Phones, you can even Receive email alerts when a camera detects motion, Monitor and record up to six locations in real-time. and set motion zones for each camera that records on your PC only when motion is detected by the surveillance camera.
The ability to customize camera settings is highlight of the Werks application. Setup controls allow you to view and modify settings for cameras, motion detection, video, system statistics, email, recording schedule, recently recorded video segments, and disk usage.Moreover, the system’s portable viewing architecture; unique capturing, storing, and reporting functionality; and ability to customize camera settings make it one of the most versatile, usable, and affordable surveillance systems in the industry today.
If your wondering if you can use WiLife surveillance technology with the new iPhone that just came out, it won’t. The system will not work on the iPhone because they have their own proprietary software on them. Currently our system will only work with phones using Microsoft software.
LukWerks provides remote viewing using Windows Mobile cell phones, handhelds, 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.
WiLife is compatible with a wide range of Microsoft Windows Mobile cell phones and wireless handhelds. Of course, these devices require Internet access either through a cell service provider or wireless Internet hub, depending on your device.
