DW Spectrum User Manual

The recording schedule provides the following modes, which can be applied in 1 hour blocks:

recording Record Always – Always records.

recording_motion Motion Only – Recording will start if motion occurs. Requires that the camera support hardware or software motion detection.

recording_motion_lq Motion + Lo-Res – Records at low resolution unless motion occurs, at which point it automatically switches to recording at high resolution. The camera must support dual-streaming to be able to use this Motion + Lo-Res mode. If it does not, the following warning will be displayed: Dual-Streaming and Motion Detection is not available for this camera. (See "Dual Stream Processing" for details.)

recording_off@2x Do Not Record – Never records.

Remember, image quality settings in the recording schedule dictate image quality during live playback.

For example, if the recording quality in the schedule is set to 4 frames per second and Low Quality, DW Spectrum will stream the live image at those settings – even if the camera is capable of higher quality playback. However, when recording is turned off in the schedule, DW Spectrum will stream live at the maximum possible quality and frames per second settings for the device.
