Agent DVR is the world’s most popular open-source video surveillance application, serving as a powerful replacement for the old iSpy platform. With a user base of over 2 million people, it offers unparalleled compatibility, supporting a wider range of consumer webcams and IP cameras than any other product on the market.
The new Agent DVR is a more advanced digital video recorder, designed to be a significant upgrade. It runs efficiently as a service, consuming less CPU than the old iSpy platform. With its intuitive web interface, you can connect to your surveillance system from any location and eliminate the need for port forwarding.
Initially designed as a low-cost alternative to expensive surveillance systems, Agent DVR has evolved into a highly scalable application. You can easily tailor it to record and respond to specific incidents from any location, whether locally or remotely.
Home Security
With seamless integrations for Home Assistant, IFTTT, and Alexa, Agent DVR can be the centerpiece of your automated home security setup. With these robust connections, Geofencing can automate alarms and set cameras to start recording when leaving an area and disarm on return.
Theft Prevention
With advanced object recognition and AI, Agent DVR lowers false alerts, helping protect your investments with confidence. For added security, recordings are automatically saved both locally and to the cloud, ensuring your evidence remains secure even if the device is stolen.
Wildlife Watching
A discreet webcam reveals a fascinating world of wildlife. Agent DVR can record movement in a burrow or nest and send the footage directly to your email or mobile device.
Agent DVR connects to the camera and provides the live view. You can then select zones within the video for motion detection and assign a threshold that starts automatic recording. Agent DVR can also operate in always-recording or manual-recording modes and supports scheduling and remote access (with an iSpyConnect subscription)
Since its launch in 2007, Agent DVR has matured and expanded into a robust and feature-rich solution. Its number one use is small business security, but home monitoring, neighborhood watch, nanny watch, and mobile access through iSpyConnect.com are also valued features.
Facial recognition and detection of changes in lighting and audio offer the subtleties that set the software apart from competitors.
Getting started with this program is easy: all you need is a webcam or IP camera connected to your computer or network.
