Event Logs

DW Spectrum Servers will automatically create an Event Log which logs and tracks system events as they occur, such as connection loss with IP cameras, alarm triggers, hard drive storage status messages, etc.

This article will outline how to export the Event Log using the DW Spectrum Client software.
