DW Spectrum 3.0
Rev. 072017 Page | 43
If a device does not transmit media data, it is marked as Offline.
If Server is offline, all Devices the server is hosting are switched to the offline status automatically.
Once Device is discovered, DW Spectrum tries to configure the following settings on Camera: the best possible image
settings for the main video stream (best possible resolution and FPS) and optimal ones for the secondary stream (240p
to 320p, 2 to 7 FPS). To disable this feature, see "Preventing DW Spectrum from Changing Camera Streaming Settings".
If Device was deleted (see "Deleting Devices (Admin Only)") and connected again, it will be re-discovered. Disable this
feature to avoid auto device discovery. See "Disabling Automatic Discovery (Admin Only)".
Disabling Automatic Discovery (Admin Only)
Once Device is discovered, the only way to delete it is to unplug it from the network (see "Deleting Devices (Admin
Only)"). However, if Device is plugged back again, it will be re-discovered. To avoid this it is possible to disable this
feature:
1. Open Main Menu –> System Administration (CTRL+ALT+A) –> General tab.
2. Uncheck Enable devices and servers auto discovery in the Device Management section.
3. When finished, press OK to apply or Cancel to discard settings.
IMPORTANT. Once the feature is disabled, new devices will no longer be auto-discovered, only added manually.
Adding Devices Manually (Admin Only)
If Device is not accessible via broadcast (usually if it is located in a different network), it will not be discovered
automatically. In this case DW Spectrum provides an ability to add Device manually. For instance, it can be useful if
Device is located in a different network or can even be accessed via Internet only. It is also possible to add several
Devices simultaneously by scanning a range of IP addresses.
To add one or more Devices:
1. Right-Click on server in Resource Tree and open Context Menu.
2. Choose Add Device(s)... The following view will appear:
3. Choose one of the following:
 To add a single Device, enter device's Address (IP or Host Name the Device can be resolved on)
