Using a SiteWatch detector with DW Spectrum
SiteWatch
SiteWatch™ detectors are perfect for any installation that requires motion detection. All detectors are fully integrated with DW Spectrum® IPVMS.
SiteWatch™ detectors can send Generic Event messages to DW Spectrum IPVMS via the Events feature. These events can be used to trigger notifications in the DW Spectrum Client and Event Rules. For example when motion is detected after hours in an area protected by a SiteWatch detector you want a camera to pop up on all users with an Advanced Viewer role.
Connect to the SiteWatch™ detectors via a web browser and navigate to the Events tab.
