Digital Watchdog Spectrum Supported Video Monitoring

Unified Digital Watchdog video monitoring and alarm verification

Verified Digital Watchdog Integration

What's specific to the DW Spectrum integration

Two-way event messaging through the DW Cloud: every security and access event is bookmarked in the VMS for forensic review, and the recorder's own health and analytic events come back into Connect ONE

DW Cloud
Integration

Full integration with the DW Cloud for access to the NVR without port forwarding or incoming firewall rules, with quick camera list retrieval to streamline setup.

Trigger System
Event Push

Push arming, alarm, access, trouble and audit events to the NVR through Event Rules; the NVR receives the source, caption and description and can bookmark, run a camera preset or raise recording quality.

Health &
Analytics

NVR health status and analytic events arrive through the DW Cloud, and any Connect ONE Event Rule can respond: report logging, notifications, arming, disarming, output control or lockdown.

Bookmarks &
Presets

Alarm and access events map to NVR actions such as bookmarking and camera presets, so the moment that matters is marked on the recorder as it happens.
