“Camera as a Server” is ideal for any small-scale application looking to add the benefits of DW Spectrum® without the expense of a dedicated network server.
CaaS edge cameras deliver the flexibility of having video and recording in the same hardware. A MEGApix CaaS solution supports up to 12 CaaS cameras in the network, all accessible and manageable remotely via the DW Spectrum client, app or DW Cloud™ webpage. Onboard storage ranges between 64GB and 128GB, with the option to expand storage with a Blackjack™ NAS network attached storage device.
“When people think of an enterprise-level VMS like DW Spectrum, they typically equate them with large-scale installations,” said Mark Espenschied, Director of Marketing, Digital Watchdog.
“Digital Watchdog makes it easy to get the power and convenience of DW Spectrum for smaller applications, including a CaaS network of only one to 12 cameras.”
