Opening Local Files Outside of Media Folders
It is possible to open Local Files outside Media Folders and thus are not visible in Resource Tree.
Use one of the following:
Drag-n-Drop one or several video files from Windows Explorer to DW Spectrum window
Drag-n-drop a folder containing video files from Windows Explorer to DW Spectrum window
Open Main Menu and choose Open –> File(s)… (or use Ctrl + O) then choose the file(s) to be opened
Open Main Menu and choose Open –> Folder… then choose a folder to be opened
Invoke Context Menu on Scene (on empty space) and choose Open –> Folder…, then choose a folder to
be opened.
Any opened files will be shown in Resource Tree until DW Spectrum is restarted. If restore Layout that
contains Items located outside of Media Folders they will be restored in Resource Tree as well.
Navigating Through Local Files
Navigation through Local Files very similar to the navigation through Camera archive, except:
All items are not synchronized (Sync is always disabled)
No Live for Local Files
Time Line is not colored (no recorded or motion regions).
and buttons move position to the beginning or to the end of the file.
All other operations (seek, play, pause, ff/rew, etc.) are described in details in "Navigating through
Archive and Live".
IMPORTANT. If Scene contains both Cameras and Local Files, Cameras are played back synchronously
and Local Files – independently.

DW Spectrum provides a wide number of features for forensic analysis of recorded streams. This section
explains how to perform forensic analysis in the application:
