DW Spectrum User Manual

DW Spectrum allows users to create layouts displaying live video feeds and perform Site configuration tasks immediately after installation. Some advanced features related to recording, archiving and analyzing video require either a License Key or a Subscription Service.

The highlights listed below outline the primary differences between the Licensing and Services model to assist with planning and preparation for Site migration. Please contact your customer service team for more information.

Subscription Service Model

•Services are pooled within an Organization and easily moved between devices within the same Organization.

•Each Recording License is converted into 24 months of local recording service when a Site connects to an Organization.

•Organization wide reports show overall Services usage and Services changes over time.

•The total number of available Services can quickly adjusted to match the needs of a changing Site configuration.

License Model

•Each installation comes with four free, 30-day license keys to record video.

•License keys are activated and linked to Servers using unique hardware identifiers.

•Keys must be activated over the internet or by using an off-line, email based activation service.

•It is possible for License Keys to become invalid when the linked hardware is offline; these can be recovered.

•License keys are considered in use when assigned to a Server, even if the function enabled by the license is not active.

NOTE: Live streams that are not connected to either a subscription service (Enterprise Edition) or a perpetual recording key (Professional Edition) will be interrupted every 10 minutes by a banner displaying "Live Streaming Time Limit Reached" and a 30-second countdown timer.
