Working with DW Spectrum > Cameras and Encoders Management > Setting Up Cameras

To record Camera, Recording Schedule must be set up first.

Note: It is possible to configure Cameras for Administrators and Viewers with an appropriate permission level.

Note: To record one camera, License is required. See “Obtaining and Activating DW Spectrum Licenses (Admin Only)”. Even if recording is not performed immediately, the License will still be considered as used.

The recording schedule specifies the following recording parameters:

•Recording Type:

•Record Always

•Motion Only – records only when motion occurs. Motion recording may require for the camera to support motion detection.

•Motion + Lo-Res Always – by default, a camera is set to record at low resolution unless motion occurs, at which point it switches recording to high resolution automatically. High resolution recording requires dual streaming (if supported by camera). See "Dual Stream Recording Specifics (RADASS)"

Motion Mask and Motion Sensitivity may need to be configured as well (see "Setting up Motion Mask and Motion Sensitivity").

•FPS

•Quality

Note: FPS and Quality recording settings will affect live stream viewing as well. For example, if 1 FPS and Low Quality are set in the recording schedule, DW Spectrum will stream live as per selected settings even if the camera is capable of more. If recording is not set, DW Spectrum will stream live at Maximum FPS and Quality.

Those settings are applied to Recording Schedule. See "Modifying Recording Schedule" for details.
