DW Spectrum User Manual

Key Concepts:

•The Resource Panel of the Desktop Client can be used to move a device from one Server to another Server.

•Both Servers must be on the same network, otherwise moving a device across networks will take the device offline.

•Changing Servers on the same network will retain device settings and the video archive will be combined seamlessly.

•Only the Desktop Client can change which Server a device is connected to.

•Recording will automatically restart and the live stream will be available.

•When changing Server networks, you will be given the option to Move it anyway, Skip (the specific camera, if more than one is selected), or Cancel the operation.

•Moving devices between Servers is an efficient way to manually balance Server loading.

•Devices can also be automatically moved in the event of a Server failure by Configuring the Failover feature.

•An offline camera will still required a license or service, even though the device is not recoding at the moment.

To Move Devices to Different Servers

1.Open the Resource Panel

2.Select the devices to be moved; selecting multiple devices is permitted.

3.Drag-and-drop the selected devices over the name of the new Server.
