For all camera vendors, DW Spectrum provides direct access to a camera's web page where users can configure the camera's settings without leaving the Desktop Client. Even cameras from outside the network can be accessed, this is possible due to the server application acting like an HTTP(S) proxy for the connection between the camera and Desktop Client.

Note: Only camera web pages that work in Chrome are supported.

In some cases, if a custom integration with a camera has been implemented, DW Spectrum pulls proprietary device parameters such as authorization, network settings, and displays controls into the Desktop Client where they can be configured directly. See the below image for one example of such a web page (can vary depending on the manufacturer).
