DW Spectrum Licenses

DW Spectrum® IPVMS allows users to monitor and manage connected cameras and devices. However, to record and archive camera video, DW Spectrum requires the use of recording licenses.

To purchase licenses, please consult with your Digital Watchdog Sales Representative. Lifetime upgrades are included with no annual renewal fees and custom-order licenses are available by request.

To activate a license, please read Activating Licenses.
