Watch it in action
See Highwatch at work.
Short recordings of the Server Desk, the Server Manager and Highwatch Dispatch, made from each app's own sample data. No real server or player is shown.
Free during early access. Every clip below is the real app; the servers, players and tickets in it are samples.
From a fresh PC to a live server
The Server Manager's setup guide, start to finish: check the PC, install the background service, sign in to Steam with your phone, name the server, link it to Highwatch, download DayZ Server, start it and open it to players. One guide, no files to copy and no keys to paste.
Set up, link and launch a DayZ server
Recorded from the setup guide of Server Manager 0.21.4. The Windows prompt, the Steam sign-in, the download and the router check are simulated for the recording, and the download is sped up: the 5.5 GB DayZ Server download is most of the real setup time. 1 minute 40.
About the Server ManagerAlready have a server? Add it to the desk
The Server Desk's Add your server: name the server and say what it runs, and Highwatch makes its key and server files. You stop the server, copy the files on, add the mods to the launch line and start it. The desk confirms the pairing the moment the server reports.
Add your DayZ server to the Server Desk
Recorded from Add your server in Server Desk 0.51.0. The steps on the server happen off screen, and the server's first report is simulated and sped up: a real server takes a few minutes to start. 1 minute 5.
How to set up HighwatchBoth apps in under a minute
Two short tours with no sound, made from screenshots of the real apps and their sample data.

About the Server ManagerServer Desk
Recorded from the demo of Server Desk 0.49.0. Every server, player and number in it is the demo's own sample data, and in the demo no action reaches a server.
What needs you, first
The Home page: what needs attention, how each server is doing and who is online, then the player list.
Every featureFill the tank, from the map
Pick a truck on the Mod vehicles layer and fill its tank. The desk asks first, then says what the tank held before and after. On a server it needs mod 0.23.0.
The live mapAdmin actions without CFTools
A player on a server that runs only the Highwatch mod: their condition, history and the actions staff can take. Heal player asks first and shows the result.
Highwatch for DayZEvidence, not auto-bans
The Anti-Cheat overview, then one observation: 2,140 m in 3 seconds on foot, with where, who and what else can cause it. A person decides.
How each detector worksMessages on timers
Timed messages and a welcome message with placeholders such as {next_restart_in|soon}. The preview shows each message as it would read right now. New in 0.49.0.
Protection rules you can try first
Type a name or a chat line and see which entry it matches before you save, then the ping limiter and Steam checks. Every rule starts off. New in 0.49.0 and not yet tried on a live server.
Server Desk 0.49.0Rust: the 3D map
The demo's sample Rust world in 3D, with its monuments, the patrol helicopter, a supply drop and the layer list. Sped up.
Highwatch for RustThe Discord bot, set up from the desk
Route a feed to a channel, set the staff role and ticket channel, and read every delivery the bot made. What the bot posts is listed on the Discord page.
The Discord botServer Manager
Recorded from Server Manager 0.21.0 on a sample workspace, with sample servers on one PC.
Your servers at a glance
The overview of every server, then one server's Mods, Automation and Backups tabs.
About the Server ManagerRestart the fleet, one at a time
Pick two servers, preview the plan and start it. The next server restarts only when the one before is back and answering.
About the Server ManagerVPN protection, record first
The settings and a sample record of who was found and what was done. It starts in Record only. New in 0.21.0; a kick on a live server is not yet proven.
Server Manager 0.21.0Highwatch Dispatch
