Online Search & Playback
Go beyond live Internet viewing. You can now search for and play
video clips from your WiLife Command Center online! Thanks to
WiLife Platinum.
Access your recorded video from a site anywhere and at
any time.
Using a user-friendly search tool and numerous search
criteria options, find video by date, time, site, or
camera.
Create and save custom searches.
Play full video clips.
You can remotely view the video clips at any one of your WiLife
Command Center sites using the Online Search and Playback
page on your WiLife Online Account.
The Online Search and Playback page allows you to browse through video clips or complete a more advanced
search. The page is simple enough to use that you can wade through video until you find something interesting
to watch as you move forward or backward along the timeline of recorded video clips on each Command
Center site. The Search options are robust enough that you can locate videos of a particular interest based on
criteria you specify on a whim or using a previously saved search or quick search. It's perfect for situations
where you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking for.
Complete a quick search. The Search and Playback feature uses "smart" search functionality, allowing you to
not only save and store multiple custom searches, but change them as well. Add more search criteria to saved
searches. In fact, add flags or highlights regarding what is interesting about the video clip (unusually large size,
unusually long duration, and video on either side of such a hit).
Search using criteria based upon the start date/time & end date/time of the video clip; the length of motion;
video "rank"; whether an alert was triggered; protected clips; file size; duration of video clip; Command Center
site; and specific cameras.
Regarding searching for videos, you can search using a Quick Search or an Advanced Search.

SEARCH FUNCTION NOTES:
The search results automatically include surrounding video clips that were recorded right before and
after the video clip resulting from the search, regardless of search results. This is true for the
camera(s) involved in the search.
You can save a search for future use. (If you save a search, you will be required to give the search a
name.)
An Automatic Update property exists so WiLife Online updates the list of video clips from your
Command Center. Choose between 5, 10, or 30 minutes, etc. updates.
