Overview

 

DW Spectrum is a lighting fast, easy to use, cross-platform IP video management system (VMS) / video surveillance software designed to discover, view, record, and manage IP video cameras so you can monitor, analyze, and react to critical events in real time. DW Spectrum is a perfect solution for applications that require ease of use, speed, efficiency, and unprecedented image quality.

DW Spectrum now includes DW Cloud, a free service that makes connecting to and managing DW Spectrum system(s) simple. Set up in seconds. Connect from anywhere. Share with anyone. DW Cloud simplifies everything.

The DW Spectrum driver for Control4 integrates IP cameras available via DW Spectrum with Control4. Not only can you view a camera via Control4's UI, but you can also trigger programming in DW Spectrum and have DW Spectrum events fire within Control4.

This driver pushes the integration of DW Spectrum by offering functionality that allows the cameras to push the boundaries of security and home automation. This means that surveillance is no longer just for security but can also be used to trigger motion-based programming like lighting.

Can I utilize another brand camera with a digital watchdog server. Example: Avigilon cameras with the DW server or will the cameras not work with the Control4. I haven't come across many Avigilon drivers for the Control4.

Good question.  I do not know the answer to this as i am not the developer of this driver.  You can reach out to our support desk via link below for assistance.
