Configuring WSC for Use With DW Spectrum

1. Follow the instructions in 1—Installing Wasabi Surveillance Cloud to install WSC on the local server. Be sure to select Digital Watchdog - Spectrum. Once the DW Spectrum profile is selected, it cannot be changed.

   

2. Install the WSC software on each server in case multiple recording servers are deployed. The same WSC credentials can be used across all servers.

3. Open the WSC software.

4. Follow the steps in Pairing a VMS with a Target to add a source and target. Be sure to set:

   • Source path—Select the same drive/folder shown in DW Spectrum. If more than one volume has been configured in DW Spectrum, add each folder (source) separately. Do not add subfolders whose parent folder has been added as a source.

   • Targets—Select Wasabi to autofill the Access and Secret keys. Optionally, enter the keys manually.

5. To confirm that data is being written to the bucket with the same directory structure as the source folder, log in to the Wasabi Console to verify.
