DW Spectrum® Client Hardware Requirements

What are the recommended hardware specifications for the DW Spectrum® Client?

The DW Spectrum® IPVMS program can be installed on most modern computers with an x64-bit architecture.  However, while DW Spectrum® is a relatively lightweight application, it does use a varying amount of hardware resources, depending on the intensity that it is used.

This article will outline the recommended hardware specifications required for DW Spectrum® IPVMS for your consideration.

Related Articles

**NOTE:  32-bit operating systems, Ubuntu 14.04, Windows 7, 2008, and Windows Server 2008 R2 are no longer supported by DW Spectrum®.  Additionally, the desktop client will not function when using Macintosh OS X 10.11, 10.12, or 10.13.

**NOTE:  It is highly recommended to use a computer that is separate from the device hosting the DW Spectrum® Server application when using the DW Spectrum® Client, rather than run both programs fulltime on the same device.  This will help to keep the server device’s CPU from being overused and mitigate processing issues.

Prerequisites

To use the DW Spectrum® Client, a computer must meet the following prerequisites:

  • A supported 64-bit Operating System
    • Windows 8, 8.1, 10 Pro/Enterprise
    • Windows Server 2012, 2012 R2, 2016 v1607 and later, 2019
    • Ubuntu LTS 16.04, 18.04, 20.04
    • 11
  •  OpenGL 2.1 Support or better
  • An Intel or AMD CPU

How to Run DW Spectrum® Client in a Limited GPU Environment

Limited OpenGL 2.1 Support

The DW Spectrum® Client application requires a computer with support for OpenGL 2.1 or higher, whether on a virtual machine (VM) or an actual computer.  In most cases, this is not an issue.  However, if a user is utilizing a virtual machine (VMWare, VirtualBox) or a personal computer (PC) with limited graphics capability (or no GPU), OpenGL 2.1 may not be supported.  As a result, DW Spectrum® Client will not run.

To resolve this issue, an emulation of the necessary graphics to function through the CPU may allow the Client to run if the Server application is also installed on a computer using Windows x64 OS.

This article will outline how to emulate a GPU using a CPU on a WinOS x64-bit system.

 

**DISCLAIMER:  We do not recommend this method unless it is absolutely required.  Even then, please be aware that you will be performing this at your own risk.

 

Supported/Affected Devices:

  • DW Blackjack® Cube Series (WinOS)
  • DW Blackjack® Client Workstation Series (WinOS)

 

Things to Consider

  • When using this method, you will be transferring the computing load that would otherwise be directed to a GPU onto the CPU. This will cause the CPU usage to increase significantly.
  • We do not recommend using this method unless it is absolutely required.
  • Remember to close the DW Spectrum® Client application as soon as you are finished returning the CPU load to normal.
  • The hosting computer must be using a Windows x64-bit operating system.

 

Emulating a GPU Using a CPU

To emulate a GPU:

  1. Download the Open GL emulation library.

Extract the files “opengl32.dll” and “libglapi.dll” from the zipped/compressed folder.

 

  1. Next, stop the Spectrum Media Server service.  To do so, you can right-click on the service in the Windows Service Tray, then select Stop Server (started).

image 20210604125050 2

 

  1. Once the Media Server has been stopped, open the computer’s File Explorer program and navigate to:

C:\Program Files\Digital Watchdog\DW Spectrum\Client\<version_number>

 

**NOTE:  “<version_number>” (above) refers to the DW Spectrum® Client software version number.

 

  1. Copy-and-paste the opengl32.dll and libglapi.dll files to this directory. Do not place them into any additional folders beyond this directory.

 

  1. Start the Media Server from the Windows Service Tray.

Launch the DW Spectrum® Client.

The DW Spectrum Client application will now utilize the CPU for some of the graphical processing.  The processing load on the CPU of the host computer will increase as a result, so be sure to completely close the DW Spectrum® Client application when you are not actively using it.

DW Spectrum® Connection Restrictions

How many users can connect to a DW Spectrum Server?

The quantity of concurrent DW Spectrum Client connections that a DW Spectrum Server can sustain is limited by the number of active TCP connections that can be supported by the server.

With this knowledge, the Owner and Administrators should consider the number of desktop client instances that will be connecting to the system, how many cameras and devices will stream video in each instance, and if there are other servers merged with the system. This is to avoid potential bottlenecks that may occur due to exceeding the system’s overall capabilities.

 

**NOTE:  The numbers provided in this article is in consideration of connecting to only a single (1) DW Spectrum Server. In the case that a DW Spectrum System is comprised of a merged, multi-server configuration, consider the number of devices connected to each server.

Calculating the Maximum TCP Connections

For a DW Spectrum Server that is using the recommended system and hardware requirements, the average limit of concurrent DW Spectrum Client connections that can be supported is:

  • One (1) DW Spectrum Server can support up to 2,000 concurrent TCP connections – including connected devices and camera streams, as well as connecting instances of the DW Spectrum Client for regular viewing

 

As the supported number of client connections to a server varies depending on the number of active TCP connections that are in use with the server, use the following information to calculate the number of active TCP connections of a server.

  • x1 DW Spectrum Client connection = 5 TCP connections
  • x1 Device or Camera connection = 1 TCP connection

X = # of active DW Spectrum Clients

Y = # of active video streams per Client

TCP Connections Consumed = (X x 5 TCP connections) + (X x Y)

 

Examples for a Single (1) Server

  • 400 DW Spectrum Client instances can connect, but no video (0) can display for the users
    • (400 clients x 5 TCP connections each) = 2,000 TCP connections; the max. amount of TCP connections are being used
  • 80 DW Spectrum Client instances can connect, but only up to 20 devices per client can stream video
    • (80 clients x 5 TCP connections each) + (80 clients x 20 devices) = 2,000 TCP connections; the max. amount of TCP connections are being used
  • 28 DW Spectrum Client instances can connect, but only up to 64 devices per client can stream video

PTZ Auto-Focus and Camera Control in DW Spectrum

PTZ & Auto-Focus

While supported cameras with motorized varifocal lenses can only zoom in and out, DW Spectrum also allows users to easily control connected PTZ cameras through the DW Spectrum Client without having to use an external joystick.

This article will show where you can manage the local PTZ settings in the DW Spectrum Client and outline the PTZ controls that are available.

**NOTE:  The Extended PTZ features require that the camera supports ONVIF Absolute Move and custom product integration to work with the DW Spectrum IPVMS software controls.

Supported/Affected Devices

  • DW Blackjack® Series

Local DW Spectrum Settings

When using a PTZ camera, the local client settings can be configured to affect how the user’s PTZ control interface will display and PTZ configuration presets will be used by the system.

Preferred PTZ Preset Setting

By default, PTZ control will automatically be available for supported PTZ cameras in the DW Spectrum Client and will use the camera’s Native PTZ setting presets (manufacturer configured). Considering this, DW Spectrum will determine if the system should use the camera’s presets or if it will use the DW Spectrum System’s preferred presets, depending on its assigned settings. These presets can be used to tell the PTZ camera to perform specific maneuvers, tours, etc.

You can find this setting in the DW Spectrum Client under the PTZ section. To get there, right-click on the camera and select “Camera Settings”. In the resulting Camera Settings window, select the “Expert” tab.

In the PTZ section of the menu, select one of the following:

  • Auto (default) – use a mix between the Native and System PTZ presets to easily begin using the PTZ preset controls in the DW Spectrum Client.
  • System – ignore the camera manufacturer settings in favor of using DW Spectrum PTZ preset settings only.
  • Native – have DW Spectrum only use the PTZ camera’s preset settings.

PTZ Aim Overlay Setting

By default, the DW Spectrum Client will utilize a user interface (UI) that follows simple click-and-drag controls, which minimizes the need to display controls for the PTZ camera, which some users feel can take up a fair portion of the screen. However, other users may prefer to have an overlay display as it offers clear and simple controls by which to control the camera.

To show an aim overlay (HUD), navigate to Main Menu > Local Settings > Look and Feel menu in the desktop client.

Locate the “Show aim overlay for PTZ cameras” setting.

Enabling this setting will affect how the PTZ control interface will display in the client by directly overlaying the camera’s FOV and how the user interacts with the PTZ features.

Using PTZ Controls

When DW Spectrum detects that a compatible PTZ camera has been added to the system, the PTZ icon will display in the camera’s viewing window.

To activate the DW Spectrum’s PTZ controls, click the PTZ icon that appears at the top of the camera’s window. Click the PTZ icon again to hide the PTZ controls.

How the PTZ controls interface displays will vary, depending on whether or not the “Show aim overlay for PTZ cameras” setting has been enabled.

Simple-Zoom (non-PTZ cameras)

If a camera uses a motorized, varifocal lens to zoom (T/W), but does not feature the ability to pan or tilt the camera, only the zoom controls (+ and –) will be available regardless of enabling/disabling the aim overlay setting.

This feature is represented by a set of plus (+) and minus (-) buttons that allow users to zoom the camera lens in or out through the DW Spectrum interface.  Alternatively, users may use the mouse-wheel to zoom-in or zoom-out.

Extended PTZ (Disabled PTZ Aim Overlay)

When the Aim Overlay setting is DISABLED, the PTZ control features are represented in the following ways:

  • Zoom In/Out – click on the Zoom-in (+) or Zoom-out (-) buttons to use the camera’s motorized zoom; alternatively, users may use the mouse-wheel to zoom-in or zoom-out
  • Pan-and Tilt – click-and-drag the mouse within the viewing window to pan and tilt the camera

While holding the Shift key:

  • Box Targeting – to zoom and position the camera into a specific FOV-framing, Shift + click-and-drag anywhere within the camera viewing window and draw a box around the target area.
  • Single Mouse Click Pan/Tilt – users can Shift + click (once) anywhere within the camera viewing window to have the PTZ camera move and center to that point
  • Double-click Zoom Out – users can Shift + double-click anywhere within the camera viewing window to zoom the camera back out to its telescopic base.

Regular PTZ (Enabled PTZ Aim Overlay)

When the Aim Overlay setting is ENABLED, the PTZ control features are represented in the following ways:

  • Zoom In/Out – to use the camera’s motorized zoom, click on the Zoom-in (+) or Zoom-out (-) buttons; alternatively, users may use the mouse-wheel to zoom-in or zoom-out.
  • Virtual Joystick – displaying in the center of the overlay, click-and-drag the virtual joystick to pan and tilt the camera.

**NOTE:  The user does not need to hold the Shift key down when using the Extended PTZ features, so long as the “Show aim overlay for PTZ cameras” setting is enabled.

  • Box Targeting – to zoom and position the camera into a specific FOV-framing, click-and-drag anywhere within the camera viewing window and draw a box around the target area.
  • Single Mouse Click Pan/Tilt – to have the PTZ camera quickly move and center to a single point, users can click (once) anywhere within the camera viewing window to have the PTZ camera move and center to that point
  • Double-click Zoom Out – users can double-click anywhere within the camera viewing window to have the camera zoom-out to its widest magnification.

PTZ Issue Troubleshooting

Camera models that support the advanced PTZ features (Regular PTZ and Extended PTZ) can be found using the DW Spectrum Supported Device List.

When troubleshooting ONVIF camera issues, such as PTZ control problems, it is recommended to download and install ONVIF Device Manager on the same computer as your DW Spectrum Server.  If you cannot install the ONVIF Device Manager (ODM), because you are using an Ubuntu/Linux or Macintosh operating system, install ODM on a Windows PC that shares the same LAN as your troubled camera.

Common PTZ Issues

  • If PTZ camera does not display the PTZ icon in DW Spectrum, ensure that the DW Spectrum firmware version is up-to-date, use ODM to connect with the camera and confirm if there is a PTZ Controls option available. If not, it may be an issue with the camera. Confirm that the camera’s firmware is also up-to-date.
  • If PTZ controls do not respond in DW Spectrum, in addition to ensuring that the camera firmware and DW Spectrum firmware are up-to-date, use the PTZ Controls in ODM to see if the camera responds.  If not, it may be an issue with the camera.
  • If PTZ position presets assignment is not working, use ODM and use PTZ Controls, then select Absolute Move.  Try a different set of values for the Absolute Move coordinates.

Axis T8311 Joystick

In v3.0 DW Spectrum introduced the ability to use the Axis T8311 Joystick to control live PTZ cameras on Windows OS-based computers.

How to Setup & Use the Axis T8311 Joystick

  1. Plugin the Axis T8311 Joystick to the computer that you will be using.
    * The drivers should be automatically installed by Windows and the device should be recognized.
  2. If your DW Spectrum Desktop app is open when you plugged in the joystick, restart your DW Spectrum Desktop. If not, open DW Spectrum Desktop.
  3. Open the PTZ camera you would like to control with the Joystick and click on the PTZ icon with your mouse.
  4. Use the Joystick to Pan, Tilt, and Zoom the camera.

Why does DW Spectrum only support one joystick controller for PTZ?

  1. IP cameras are network-based and have latency, making joystick control….not great.
  2. DW Spectrum has Advanced PTZ – a feature that makes analog joysticks seem….well, outdated.

DW Spectrum Mobile SSL Certification Notification

Security Certificate Notifications

After upgrading the DW Spectrum Mobile application to v22.1, users will be automatically logged out of DW Cloud and must log in to DW Cloud again to regain access to their Cloud Systems. Upon doing so, you may encounter an alert notification when attempting to connect with a DW Spectrum Server using version 4.2 or higher.

This article will explain the prompts that will display regarding security certificates and the DW Spectrum Mobile application.

 

Related Articles

 

Self-Signed SSL Certificates

If the an affiliated DW Spectrum Server is using version 4.2 or higher, the mobile application will attempt to verify that the target Server is using an SSL Certificate for security. However, a notification will display alerting an SSL certificate verification issue if the DW Spectrum Server is using the default Self-Signed SSL Certificate that is generated automatically.

While valid, this is due to the Server using a self-signed certificate as opposed to using a public certificate that has been purchased from a recognized certificate provider. Select “Connect Anyway” to confirm that you trust the current Server. This message will not display the next time that you connect with the Server as long as its SSL Certificate remains valid.

The following prompt may display:

image 20220708173557 15

 

Expired SSL Certificates

If a DW Spectrum Server’s SSL Certificate (self-signed or public) has expired, the following prompt will appear:

image 20220708173557 16

 

Enable (check) the “Trust this server” checkbox and select “Connect Anyway” to continue with connecting to the Server. This prompt will continue to appear each time you attempt to connect with the Server until the certificate has been renewed.

Alternatively, you can disable the SSL Certificate verification setting in the DW Spectrum Mobile application, but this is not recommended as it will lower the security level of your connection.

To learn how to apply a public SSL Certificate or how to renew the self-signed SSL Certificate of a DW Spectrum Server, please use the KB article – DW Spectrum IPVMS SSL Certificate Management.

 

Changing Mobile App Security Settings

DW Spectrum Mobile v22.1 users have the option to change the Security settings of the mobile app to connect without checking security certificates, but are instead recommended to use the default setting.

To change the Security settings in the mobile app:

  1. Tap the Main Menu icon , located in the top-right of the screen, and select “Settings”.

image 20220708174122 19

Installing DW Spectrum® (Macintosh)

Creating A New System

DW Spectrum® is composed of two parts:

  • DW Spectrum® Media Server – the Media Server is Spectrum®.  The media server is responsible for the recording, contains the database information of your added cameras and user profiles, and is arguably the most important aspect of the DW Spectrum® IPVMS platform.  The Media Server is supposed to be installed on a computer that will be acting as your server.  If you have a DW Blackjack® server, this software is already installed.
  • DW Spectrum® Client – the Client software provides the graphical interface with which users may utilize to interact with the Media Server and allows users to see what the Media Server is doing.  Some features include allowing users to configure settings, view live and recorded video, and manage device connections.  The Client is helpful for accessing the Media Server, but is not required to remain running for the Media Server to do its job.  Instead, it is recommended that users install the DW Spectrum® Client software on a separate computer from the DW Spectrum® Media Server computer to save on processing.

These two portions of DW Spectrum® IPVMS coordinate to comprise a System.  A System can refer to a group of merged servers or to a single server.

This article will explain how to install DW Spectrum® IPVMS, how to connect with the DW Spectrum® System, and how to change the Owner/Admin password and System name.

**NOTE:  DW Spectrum® for Macintosh is for the Client only.  A computer with either a Windows OS or an Ubuntu OS will be required to create a Server.

Installing DW Spectrum® on Macintosh

  1. To obtain the installation files for DW Spectrum®, open a web browser and visit the DW Spectrum® IPVMS product page on the Digital Watchdog website.

  1. Scroll down and click on the Software tab.

Select the Version of DW Spectrum® that you want to install, then select the operating system that you are installing with (Macintosh).

Click on the Download icon to download the installation file.

  1. Open the downloaded .DMG file, then drag the DW Spectrum® application into your Applications folder.

Allow the process to run and complete the installation.  When finished, you can begin to set up the System.

Creating a New System

  1. To launch the application, open the Applications folder, then double-click on the DW Spectrum® Client application

  1. If your computer is on the same LAN as a pre-existing Server, the DW Spectrum® Client application may automatically detect it.  If so, click on the tile.

You will be prompted to enter your login credentials (User ID and Password).  Contact the System Owner or Administrator of the Server if you need a login to be created.

**NOTE:  DW Spectrum® for Macintosh is for the Client only.  A computer with either a Windows OS or an Ubuntu OS will be required to create a Server.

  1. If this is a first-time setup of DW Spectrum® Client, click the Add to Existing System button.

You will then be prompted to enter the Connection Options to connect with the DW Spectrum® Server.

  • Host – enter the IP Address of the DW Spectrum® Server
  • Login – enter the login ID of your DW Spectrum® user profile
  • Password – enter the login password of your DW Spectrum® user profile
  • Port – enter the TCP port of the DW Spectrum® Server (default: 7001)

  1. Once you have entered the connection information, click the OK button to connect with the DW Spectrum® System.

Changing the Admin Password

  1. To change the Admin password of a Server, launch DW Spectrum® and connect with the System.  You must have Administrator privileges to make system changes.

Right-click on the System (house icon) and select Open Web Client.

  1. A browser will open and connect with the System.

Enter the Owner ID (Admin) and the Password to log in.

**NOTE:  Another way to access this web client is to enter the Server’s IP address and port to connect through a web browser.

  1. After logging into the System’s web client, you may change the password under Change admin password, located in the Settings > Server menu.

This will change the password for the Owner profile of your DW Spectrum® Server.

It is recommended to keep track of your password.  If the Admin password is forgotten, a password reset form must be submitted for all Blackjack Series units.

If the DW Spectrum® Server is installed on a custom-built server (not a Blackjack Series NVR), a clean reinstallation of the DW Spectrum® Server will be required to reset a forgotten password.

To learn how to completely uninstall DW Spectrum® from the Windows or Ubuntu Server, check out DW Spectrum Clean Uninstall.

Changing the System Name

  1. To change the System name, connect with the Server’s web client and log in as the Admin.

  1. Under the Settings menu, click on the System tab.

Under Name, enter the new name of the System, then click the Rename System button.

Click the Save button to apply the changes.

Motion Smart Search In DW Spectrum IPVMS

Motion Smart Search

DW Spectrum’s Motion Smart Search feature is a useful tool that allows users to rapidly search video archives to discover segments of saved footage.  Rather than having to review long lengths of archived footage to find a specific moment, Motion Smart Search narrows down the saved video to a specified area in the camera’s field of vision and highlights the discovered segments in the Timeline during playback.

This article will outline how to use the Motion Smart Search feature of DW Spectrum for faster footage acquisition.

 

Using Smart Search

To use the Motion Smart Search feature, you must be using a camera that supports motion recording (where both the primary and secondary video streams are active).

 

Note:  It is recommended that the secondary stream be set to a resolution of 704×480 or lower, with a frame rate no higher than 7 FPS.

If you are encountering issues with Motion Recording, check out Motion Recording Troubleshooting (DW Spectrum).

 

To use the Motion Smart Search feature:

  1. Select your desired camera to display.

Selecting from either the camera’s Image Controls toolbar or from the Notifications Panel, click on the Motion icon.

Alternatively, you can right-click in the camera window and select Show Motion/Smart Search.

image 20200624151803 1

image 20200624151803 2

 

  1. DW Spectrum will display preview frames the system’s search results.

Additionally, in the Timeline, sections will be highlighted to indicate that motion was detected in the specified motion area.

Select from the previewed frames or click in the Timeline to begin playing the detected footage.

Reporting DW Spectrum® Issues

DW Spectrum® Issues

This article will outline how to report operator issues with DW Spectrum® IPVMS.

Supported/Affected Devices

  • DW Blackjack® Series

Before Requesting Support

Use the following resources to check for possible solutions:

**Note:  It is recommended to use the latest version of DW Spectrum®.  If you are encountering operator issues and your firmware is outdated, consider updating to the latest build version.

The Digital Watchdog Support Knowledge Base hosts release notes for recent updates.

Requesting Support

Digital Watchdog Technical Support strives to provide quick and efficient assistance for issues that directly regard Digital Watchdog products.

Use the following guidelines to provide a concise outline of your issue so that our technicians may support you in an orderly fashion.

Submit One Support Request per Issue

As our support team focuses on different Digital Watchdog products, features, and software, tracking the progress of individual issues becomes difficult when there is an overwhelming number of issues described in a single report.

If one issue appears to be interrelated with another issue, it may be worth mentioning.  However, please maintain a clear outline of a single issue, per request, if possible.

Once the issue has been identified by the technician, a recommended resolution may be provided.

**Note:  Open a support ticket with Digital Watchdog Technical Support.

Provide a Short and Clear Summary

An ideal summary should be clear and as short as possible, but long enough to clarify the issue.  Provide a clear overview of the issue, the component where the issue is occurring (Server, Client, DW Cloud, mobile application), and what conditions the system was under when the problem started.

Please also provide details regarding any troubleshooting steps that have already been taken.  If troubleshooting has not already been performed, you may be tasked with performing recommended troubleshooting steps.

Environment

Provide details about the environment that DW Spectrum® is running in.  This includes information such as what version/build of DW Spectrum® is being used, the operating systems being used, and the size of the System (a single server or multi-server/merged System).

Example:

  • DW Spectrum® Version:  v4.1.0.31401
  • DW Spectrum® Client:  Mac OS 10.13
  • DW Spectrum® Server:  Windows 10
  • Network Topology:  Server is connected to cameras through a Wi-Fi router that is connected to a single PoE switch, with 10 cameras.
  • Special Features:  The mentioned PoE switch has an embedded firewall blocking UDP traffic.

Reproduction Scenario

Describe any steps that you performed prior to the start of the problem.  The technician may need to try to reproduce the issue on their end to better understand what may be causing the issue.

Examples of this include upgrading firmware from a particular build, changing network hardware, applying specific settings in DW Spectrum®, etc.

Attachments

Attachments can be quite helpful for technicians as they offer additional insight to the issue that you are experiencing.  Providing photos, screen recordings, or Sever Logs may help to reduce the wait time for a resolution to your issue.

Since attachments can be quite large to share, you may use a third party service like Google Drive or DropBox to provide your attachment.

Avoid sending compressed (.zip) files as we are less likely to open this file type for security reasons.  Instead, upload each file individually to the sharing application of choice so that your technician can check the file before opening or downloading it.

**Note:  DW Spectrum® (Windows version) has an in-client screen recording feature that you may use to capture a recording of your display as you see it.  Press Alt+R on the keyboard to start or stop this function.

Remote Assistance

Issues are often system-specific and your technician may request remote access to your System to directly assist you with resolving the problem.

Frequently, Digital Watchdog Technical Support will ask for unattended TeamViewer access to investigate the issue directly.  We understand if this is not possible, but please be aware that this may delay the solution for your issue.  If you prefer to instead be present for the remote session, you may request one.

Additionally, the use of ONVIF Device Manager and/or Wireshark is commonly used for troubleshooting our most commonly reported issues.  It may be in your best interest to have these applications installed.

**Note:  DW Blackjack® Servers (Windows) will come with ONVIF Device Manager installed.  Most DW Blackjack® Series devices will come with TeamViewer installed as well.
