Excellent App

This app does what it claims. Low reviews are unfair as they are from people how haven’t taken the time to understand how this free to use system works. There are no hidden charges and the developer looks like they respect privacy (unlike a lot of the others out there).

iSpy Agent DVR needs to be installed on a computer with your cameras connected. This app acts as a viewer/remote control.

There is a subscription if you wish to view from anywhere outside you local network (outside the network your computer is on running iSpy Agent DVR). I must admit the subscription is out my price range, but totally understand that running, managing the servers to provide this service comes at a cost.

This system is excellent and it completely It’s free for use on your local network.

It’s system including this app works very well.

Works great for intranet and Internet

Not sure what happened to all the reviews but been using this app over a year now and it only gets better with each update.
Works great for my Internet and my paid yearly subscription Internet server at my church.
Works with all my various cameras from really old D link to more modern cameras.
Very customizable screens and options.

Best CCTV DVR software for the buck.

I tried several free and pay DVR services for my cameras and I ended up with Agent DVR as my final choice. It's not crippleware but fully functional for a local network and intranet, it's only when you want to port forward in or use their app for notifications and a few other features thats where you have to pay for a subscription. This allows you to put the software through the paces and you can determine whether this is the right fit for you. Comparing it to other subscription services that made you pay per camera for service this allows as many cameras as your computer can handle. Ended up purchasing the next level up from the base of scription in order to assign users various permissions. The base subscription does not allow that but if you're the only user that might work for you. I'm setting it up for a small nonprofit so I have several users that want to view the DVR recordings. Also Agent DVR gives you find tune controls so that you can get it exactly the way you want it and can customize media recording locations and even save to FTP storage. The developer responds quickly to technical issues through Reddit and is working to improve the app even more. For a newbie user it may seem a little overwhelming at first but eventually you'll get the hang of it and how to customize it the way you want and what views you want to see and what alert you want to receive from which camera. Software works with a plethora of cameras including obsolete cameras like old d-link cameras usb cameras and my Hughes net 2132LES cameras so they can be given a extended life as well as custom urls for your cameras.

Update: now supports local intranet cameras and paid subscription all in the same app, no need for home screen web shortcuts.

Works for me

There are some minor tweaks that I would make to interface, but they’re mostly cosmetic. There are 2 things that the app does need: bring back the clear all function for alerts, show the number of unread alerts on the icon badge. Currently the icon only shows a 1 on the home screen whether or not you have 1 or more unread alerts. It does not update past 1.

Otherwise, it’s easy to figure out how to get remote mobile access, set up onvif cameras with different live and record streams, setup views, groups, record and archive locations, auto purge functions, etc.

Paid the subscription to access the mobile app

I appreciate how useful the software is even when free, and I wanted to use it for my security system, ideally accessible on my iPhone. So I paid for the subscription to use the mobile app and remote access. Turns out there is no mobile app, it’s literally just a browser.

Want to love this app but

App crashes on startup on my M2 Max Pro MBP ???

I Like it

The app works really well and is amazing with the ability to add floor plans and multiplication cameras and layouts
However the app is a little confusing to use at first and takes time to get used to

Все классно работает

Response from developer

The app is for remote access not local access. For local access just use a web browser.

Useless

I just want a local connection to the DVR, why does this need an account?

Webview parfaite

Hello! Cette appli webview est très bien… on ne peut pas se connecter avec son compte Google mais marche parfaitement avec le compte Classic. De plus, mon compte est bien sauvegardé quand je clique sur mémoriser..
Opensource FTW

So greed

No directly connection to your DVR server 🤷‍♂️

Die Nutzung der App kostet 5,- im Monat

Leider kann ich nichts zur Funktion der App beitragen, da der Preis des Abos eine Nutzung gründlich verhindert. Der lokale Server hat nicht nicht alle Kameras eingebunden. Der Login in die Kameras funktionierte - der Stream wird nicht angezeigt. Es sind eigentlich von Agent DVR vorkonfigurierte Kameras. Insgesamt für mich nicht brauchbar.

Ob man zusätzlich auch noch Ports ins Internet öffnen muss, habe ich nicht mehr geprüft.

Asking constantly for permissions

Generally it’s working but asking every start for local network permissions which are already granted.

Just Bad

Push notifications are not working, Strange Free Trail, Bad UI, Buggy as hell.

Vivement une vrai application

Cette application est un portage pur et simple de l’interface web, avec l’inconvénient de ne pas pouvoir se connecter avec Google. Il faut donc resaisir son mot de passe à chaque fois qu’on ouvre l’application et également recocher systématiquement « Se rappeller » (avec la faute) car l’appli mémorise bien votre identifiants mais pas le fait que vous avez coché « Se rapeller » donc si vous oubliez vous devrez en plus ressaisir votre identifiant.
Seul et unique intérêt : les alertes en push sur le téléphone.

Doesn’t remember login.

Despite choosing the option to remember my details the app eventually loses my login details forcing me to write them down.

Does not work

Will not even open the app stuck on eye loading screen

Free trial

I didn’t want to put myself into a money contract. It wasn’t made clear at the start there would be a cost. I’m deleting it before I can get into it.

It works

It works...
I gave 5 stars to please you to bringe more love to this App.
