64-Channel DW Spectrum Server
The 64-channel
Spectrum server.
Pre-built. Pre-configured. Expandable to over 100 TB. Windows 11 Pro and DW Spectrum® IPVMS arrive installed, activated, and ready to record.
Workstation power.
NVR duty.
The AMD Ryzen™ 7 5825U isn't a typical NVR chip — it's a full 8-core / 16-thread workstation processor boosting to 4.5 GHz, with 20 MB of combined cache and Radeon™ graphics running at 2000 MHz for hardware-accelerated video decode.
- 64 concurrent camera streams with headroom to spare
- Smooth multi-camera live walls on a 4K monitor
- Fast forensic search across years of footage
- Doubles as a full Windows 11 Pro workstation
Two ports.
One 5-gig pipe.
Dual 2.5 GbE ports merge into a single bonded logical link — up to 5 Gbps (~625 MB/s) with automatic load balancing. Feed one port from your camera VLAN and one to your office network, or bond both for maximum throughput.
Runs cool.
Records 24/7.
Pass-through chassis airflow with a large 12 cm fan keeps the processor and all four drives cool under continuous full-load recording — quietly. Every unit is burned in for 24 hours with DW Spectrum before it ships.
Grows with every job.
Start with what you need today — the chassis has room for over 100 TB of total storage, double the memory, and a second NVMe drive.
- 4 tool-free drive trays — 3.5"/2.5" SATA, up to 24 TB each (96 TB total)
- 2 × M.2 NVMe slots — up to 8 TB each; one free out of the box
- RAM expandable to 64 GB — dual DDR4-3200 SODIMM slots
- 64 channels of licensing — add DW Spectrum licenses as camera counts grow, they merge into the same system
