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.
Some of the great features of Werks include:
•
6-Camera live view
•
Concurrent recording of video from all cameras
•
User definable email and cell phone alerts
•
Automatic disk storage management
•
Powerful video archive search and playback
•
Password system security
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 allocate 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 Access
Werks coupled with our My LukWerks services deliver 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. At the center of My LukWerks is the LukWerks Remote Viewing Service, which intelligently
links you to all of your cameras at each site where you have installed a LukWerks system.
To access the video you first create a My LukWerks user account at www.lukwerks.com . This is part of
the normal process of registering you product. With each new LukWerks setup, you register the new site
with your existing account. Then when you want to check in on your property, simply login to your My
LukWerks account from a Web browser or Windows Mobile cell phone and link to the video feed.
With My LukWerks it is easy to monitor your Home, Office, Cabin, or even Grandma's House – anytime
anywhere – all from your My LukWerks account.
The following chapters describe in detail each component of the LukWerks system. Two chapters in this book
describe in full each of these modules— Chapter 3: Using the Werks Application and Chapter 4: Werks
Application Setups, which introduces you to the Werks Setup dialogs.
We have also provided you with online help and support and service pages on our website. In any case, we are
