Agent DVR is a free* software DVR solution for Windows 10, Mac and Linux. Agent DVR runs as a service or console application and can access and control a huge range of third party cameras with advanced motion detection, including DeepStack integration for object recognition. The iSpyConnect website provides secured (SSL) remote access without port forwarding needed.

You can add Agent DVR via integrations using the IP address and port of the server, like: http://192.168.1.3:8090/. If you have "Protect API" turned on in your Agent DVR server configuration, you can supply the username and password as part of the URL, for example, http://username:password@192.168.1.3:8090.
