The Smart Luk Cameras.

The LukWerks innovative technology starts with its smart cameras, which have an onboard processor that powers digital motion detection, real-time Windows Media Video (WMV) encoding, and Intelligent Image Management(TM), to provide high-quality digital video pictures.

The integrated motion detection permits the system to record video only when activity occurs, enabling users to find recorded events quickly.

The video is encoded in the camera, thus significantly reducing bandwidth usage and memory consumption. Users are able to view up to six live video feeds simultaneously on their computer or TV screen.

WiLife’s Intelligent Image Management automatically adjusts the frame rate, brightness and contrast of the video images according to light conditions. This feature allows the Luk camera to continue to capture high-quality video even in low light conditions.

Each slim-line camera includes wall or desktop mounting options and a unique window suction-cup mount, which allows the placing of the camera on any window, facing either outside the window or inside the room.

A Powerline Network Connects Your Cameras to The Computer.

To connect cameras into the LukWerks home CCTV system, you simply plug the Luk cameras into any standard electrical outlet. The cameras then pass the video data over existing power lines to an adapter, which passes the video to the computer.

You don’t have to run wires to a central system, or purchase and configure wireless networks.

Furthermore, sending video over the power line is more reliable, stable and secure than traditional wireless networks. Also since power outlets are more readily available in homes and businesses, video coverage is much greater than with wireless alternatives, thus providing an easy and reliable way to set up a surveillance system.

Powerful PC-Based Werks Software.

At the centre of the LukWerks CCTV digital surveillance system is the Werks PC Software, which turns the PC into a user-friendly, yet powerful command centre. Werks manages full-motion video from up to six concurrent cameras, providing users with excellent quality live views from every camera, while simultaneously recording any motion or scheduled events.

Additionally, Werks provides user definable e-mail and cell phone alerts, disk management and security.

Andrew Hartsfield, chief executive officer of WiLife said:- “The LukWerks Digital Video Surveillance System combines numerous innovative and patent-pending technologies to build the most complete surveillance system for the consumer.”

“We have developed the most advanced hardware, software and services to make a surveillance system that is easy to set up and use, while providing the same features of a system that costs 10 times more.

Millions of homeowners and businesses will now be able to afford high-quality, digital video surveillance systems.”

NB-This system is currently only shipped to the United States and the equipment will only work in North America.

WiLife plans to expand into Europe next year.
