Bold’s Manitou and DW Spectrum IPVMS Integration Highlights
Users can connect with the Bold Group’s Manitou alarm monitoring software through the DW Spectrum Web Portal to access video data from DW Spectrum Servers for live monitoring and video verification.
Legacy integrations rely on port forwarding, DDNS, and open inbound ports in the network firewall to facilitate remote client connections. In those kinds of setups, changes to the end-user’s network would result in connection loss.
However, DW Spectrum IPVMS setups can establish remote connections with the DW Cloud connection service. Through DW Cloud, remote sessions with the system are established using trusted end-to-end connections and data encryption without the need for port forwarding, DDNS, VPN access, or open inbound ports in the firewall.
**NOTE: The Bold Manitou software is a partner company's product. For issues or support regarding Bold Manitou products, please contact Bold Technical Support.
