Build Your System — Add-Ons
1. Surveillance drives. Ships diskless for video. Bundle WD Purple™ drives and we'll install, format, and configure them before shipping — or use your own 3.5" SATA drives.
2. DW Spectrum channel licenses. One perpetual license per camera — lifetime upgrades, no renewals:

Why This Machine Is Built for DW Spectrum
- Workstation-class CPU, not an NVR chip. The same 8-core/16-thread Ryzen™ 7 5825U as our 64-channel server — full 32-channel recording plus smooth playback and fast forensic search simultaneously.
- Hardware video decode. Radeon™ graphics at 2000 MHz offloads H.265, so a local monitor wall never touches recording performance.
- Dedicated system drive. Windows and DW Spectrum live on their own NVMe SSD — video writes to separate surveillance drives, eliminating the single-disk bottleneck of cheap NVRs.
- Dual 2.5 GbE. One port for the camera VLAN, one for the office network — 32 cameras with bandwidth to spare.
- Dual cooling, whisper-quiet. A CPU fan plus a dedicated drive-bay fan keep 24/7 recording cool in a case that disappears on a shelf.
- Grows with the job. RAM to 64 GB, a free NVMe slot, tool-free bays to 44 TB — and if you outgrow 32 cameras, licenses transfer to a bigger server.
How Licensing Works — 3 Steps
- Count your cameras. Each camera you record uses one channel license — live viewing is always free.
- Add licenses to this order with the picker above (or buy more licenses any time later — new keys merge into the same system as you grow).
- Activate in one click. Your license keys arrive by email; paste them into DW Spectrum's System Administration → Licenses tab and you're recording. We pre-activate keys purchased with a server on request.
Licenses are perpetual with lifetime upgrades — no renewals, no subscriptions, ever.
Cameras That Pair With This Server
Every Ironpixel IP camera we stock connects to DW Spectrum over ONVIF — plug them into your PoE switch, the server auto-discovers them, and each camera uses one channel license. Any other ONVIF/RTSP camera brand works too (up to 32 channels).
Complete the System
- OTK IP cameras and Uniview cameras — ONVIF compatible
- Need more than 32 cameras? Step up to the 64-Channel Expandable Server
- Cloud recording — off-site backup for critical cameras
