DW Spectrum User Manual
Digital Watchdog
The following types of Analog Cameras are supported:
Analog Cameras plugged into Encoder. Those cameras act like regular Cameras: it is possible to
configure Recording Schedule for them as well as Motion Detection.
Analog Cameras plugged into Recorder. Those cameras are recorded somewhere else so DW Spectrum
only pulls the desired stream from the recorder. It is not possible to configure Recording Scheduleand
Motion Detection for those Cameras.
Renaming Cameras
If a camera is discovered automatically (see "Discovering Cameras Automatically"), it is displayed in
Resource Tree as a predefined sequence ("model"or "manufacturer + model"). For instance, 10005 for
Arecont Vision cameras or DWC-MD421D for Digital Watchdog.
Note: It is possible to configure Cameras for Administrators and for Viewers that have an appropriate
permission level.
It is recommended to rename same camera models for easier identification. Cameras can be renamed
directly from Resource Tree using Context Menu or in camera settings:
IP-addresses are added to a camera name automatically and are non-editable. It is possible to deactivate
displaying IP addresses in Resource Tree.
