Agent DVR 8.0.2.0 by iSpyConnect

Agent DVR is the world’s most popular open source video surveillance application, replaced the old platform iSpy. It’s compatible with the the vast majority of consumer webcams and IP cameras. With more than 2 million users worldwide, Agent DVR works with more cameras and devices than anything else on the market.

The new Agent DVR is the worlds most advanced DVR! It runs smoothly as a service, consumes less CPU than iSpy, and offers a user-friendly web interface accessible from anywhere without any port forwarding hassles!

Agent DVR was designed to provide a low-cost alternative to expensive surveillance systems. It has become a highly scalable application that can be tailored to record and take actions on specific incidents as defined by the user either locally or remotely.

Home Security

Integrated with Home Assistant, IFTTT and Alexa means Agent DVR can form a key part of your home security setup. Automate your alarms and set your cameras to start recording when you leave an area and disarm when you return using Geofencing.

Theft Prevention

Advanced object recognition and AI cut down on false alerts whilst protecting your investments. Recordings can be saved locally and to the cloud – ensuring evidence is secure even if the device itself is stolen.

Wildlife Watching

A discrete webcam reveals a wonderful world of wildlife. Agent DVR can record movement in a burrow or nest and send it straight to your email or mobile device.

Agent DVR connects to the camera and shows the live view. You can then define specific areas of the video that the app should watch for movement, and set a threshold value for the amount of motion that would trigger automatic recording. Agent DVR can also operate in always-recording or manual-recording modes and supports scheduling and remote access (with an iSpyConnect subscription)

Started back in 2007 the software has continually evolved and improved to become a robust, feature rich solution. The number one use of Agent DVR is small business security, but home monitoring, neighborhood watch, nanny-watch and mobile access through iSpyConnect.com are 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.
