Automated LED Light

The DWC-MT95WW28TW turret camera and DWC-INTCAM02 features built-in white light LEDs for scene illumination. When combined with an Event Rule trigger using DW Spectrum, the camera can be used to both detect motion and illuminate the area. This can be a conventional way to deter trespassers when deployed.

This article will outline how to create an Event Rule in DW Spectrum to send an HTTP(S) request to the camera when motion is detected and trigger the built-in white light.

Supported/Affected Devices:

DWC-MT95WW28TW
DWC-INTCAM02

Creating the Event Rule

To create the Event Rule:

In the DW Spectrum Client open the Main Menu and select the System Administration menu (CTRL+ALT+A).

Open the Event Rules menu and click the +Add button to create a new rule.

In the Event section, configure the following:
- When: set to “Motion on Camera” so that the system will trigger the event when motion is detected.
- Starts/Stops: set to “Starts” so that the rule will trigger as soon as the event takes place.
- At: set to “DWC-MT95WW28TW” or "DWC-INTCAM02"; if the camera has been renamed, be sure to select the MT95WW28TW or DWC-INTCAM02 camera as listed on your Server.

In the Action section, configure the following:

Do: set to “Do HTTP(S) request” so that the system will send a command to the camera upon triggering the event.
Interval of Action: set to “Instant” (unchecked) to allow the system to repeat the event freely. Otherwise, you can set a limit as to how frequently the event is allowed to trigger.
HTTP(S) URL: enter the URL below for the camera; replace “” with the camera’s IP address.
