Thank you for this! I remember trying to tackle this in the past but all those streams scared me off, but I'm glad I took another stab at it and found your video. I have 3 Hikvision IP cameras and this picked them right up, tested the recording options and it's already storing the files. I have it on a Dell Poweredge Windows server and it runs great!

Hello friend, i am having an issue with RTSP streams, and the only solution is to manually install the ffmpeg libraries. The thing is that when i run the installation script, it creates a new agent dvr instance, on port 8090, and the app installed over catalog runs on port 10184. So, the question is if you know how to install this libraries in the 10184 instance installed via catalog? thanks for your input!

Thanks for this great Video. But how to calculate the storage required?
@AwesomeOpenSource Жыл бұрын
That's tricky, as it depends on the resolution of your cameras, the format you'll record in, and how long you want to retain video, whether they'll record all the time, or just on triggered events (like motion), etc. I have a client who has 7 cameras running at 1080p, and record only on motion, but that have motion events throughout the day 8 am - 5 pm inside their offices, and 24 / 7 outside. I retain video for 10 days per camera, and it uses a few hundred gigs at a time. Best way is to set up 1 camera, and have it make some recordings for a set amount of time, then see how much space is used. Use that as a baseline for your calculations.

why are all my cams low resolution in iSpy ? in Blue Iris, they all show in Hi Res. Also, iSpy doesn't have Reolink Camera support.
@AwesomeOpenSource 2 жыл бұрын
I'm working on a video to show how to tune AgentDVR a bit. But, definitely look into all the settings. Make sure you are consuming the main / primary rtsp stream from your camera as well. Your camera maker should have documentation on which stream is hi resolution. Usually there are a few streams, and one is hi res for recording, and the other is low res for live viewing to help save live streaming bandwidth.
@gogogo26993 2 жыл бұрын
If you have it installed in your laptop and you switch your laptop off or leave it on standby and then someone enters your room, does the Display stay Black as if the laptop Was off and does it start recording the Person who enters your room without the Person Noticing that He is being recorded bc the laptop Seems to be switched off? Or when it starts recording does the laptop turn itself on or the light of the Webcam and then starts recording and the Person can Notice she is being recorded ?
@AwesomeOpenSource 2 жыл бұрын
I really don't know. I'd say if you turn off the laptop, or put it to sleep / suspend, it won't record anything. If you leave it on with the screen blanked, you could set the password for unlock, so even if it turned on, the screen would first have to be unlocked if nothing else.

This may be a dumb question, but I installed the windows version of Agent, not the original iSpy app. It automatically opened itself in Chrome.

Yeah, open source not have to be free of charge. It's only public visible source codes. Open source is safer to end user bc some people reading codes and can find various traps which the manufacturer may pledge on the user. Eg we're not sure if Windows not spies us (sending some encrypted data to their servers) just for it isn't open source and no one can to know it. Vendor (iSpy) claims "don't need to open ports on firewall". How they made it? I think it is proxy server - connection always is made from behind firewall (from within of home networks) like it is with TeamViewer.

So, I wasn't super clear about the ispyconnect add on. There are some free use options for it, but it is dependent on their servers. To answer you question though, since it runs in a web browser, you can do several things to gain access to your camera views. 1. allow access to the site from outside your network using a proxy like NGinX Proxy Manager secured with SSL certificates. 2. Use a VPN to connect back into your netowork, or even directly to the host machine to view the site in your browser on your machine of mobile device.

How Many cams ca I add . I've more than 300 cameras.. allá cameras are connected to dahua nvr not IP.
@AwesomeOpenSource Жыл бұрын
I just don't have a good answer for you. I'm sure with 300 cameras, it just depends on the processing power of your server / system. It's going to take a lot of power to handle that many streams.

Thanks for letting me know. I've been migrating from my old Ghost blog, so I guess there was a copy / paste issue. I have added it to the new blog.

Sorry my friend. Maybe make a request to iSpy, and see if they'll add it?

i've been using ispy and it is great, the only problem is i cannot configure the audio, my cameras support 2 way audio, but it doesn't work on ispy
@AwesomeOpenSource Жыл бұрын
Possibly a good thing to let them know about, and see if they can either help you get it working, or make a development change to get it working. Haven't tried two way audio, but the audio from the camera on my reolinks works great.

What is versioning?
@xerr0n 2 жыл бұрын
don't know the context (didn't catch it on the video) but it CAN mean having different versions of the thing, ie having a document with HISTORY (different versions of the document).
@AwesomeOpenSource 2 жыл бұрын
I was referring in the video to the versioning of the old Windows Only showing a higher version number, but the newer iSpy online having a lower number. Didn't want people to grab the Windows Only because of the higher number alone. They are more than welcome to run anything they want.

Hello Sir Awesome Open Source and Community, i really liked the video. And so far I am fine but i have one problem. I am using a Raspi 4 4GB. I am such a beginner so i plugged in a 128Gb USB Stick into the Raspi. The Raspi wont start anymore. If I unplug the Stick it will start like nothing happened. I already run Portainer and AdGuard with succes. Can somebody help me to mount the usb Stick correctly and set it up with ispy? The 128Gb is just for now. I will upgrade if everything is working correctly. :)
@AwesomeOpenSource 6 ай бұрын
Not sure about setting up as the ispy storage, but soundslike your pi is trying to boot of the usb stick for some reason. Maybe that's why it won't boot when it's plugged in. Have you already created the partition table, partition, and file system on the USB?

I am indeed. I just like the simplicity. Though I did find out it's not fully open source, so a bit sad about that, but holding out hope that they'll open source the whole project eventually.

I think they way I phrased the ispyconnect offering may have been misleading. I believe you can sign up for ispyconnect for free, and use some of the included features for free as well. Some of the features, however, do have a subscription price included. You may give it a shot, create and account, and try the features out.

@@AwesomeOpenSource Thanks for clarifying! While that does help the illusion that all add-ons require money, it doesn't help that ultimately, you still have to connect to someone else's infrastructure.. and here start the privacy concerns. Was interesting to watch though.

Yeah, NAH. I ran this native (no docker or container mess) and it was a turd, not much help for it, limited camera support and when it does find the cameras, limited options and performance.

Just WoW 🙂 I used my own homebuild NVR (Nginx with rtmp/record) and pushed the Webcamstream from a Raspberry Pi to it. used a lot of HDD space 24/7 record. Now With iSpy it's only recording when there are movements. I just installed this on my TestLAB and works pretty nice. I don't want to buy IP camera's they are to big. I like to use Webcams and put those connected to an Raspberry Pi ( Orange Pi ) convert the stream into H264. ( Just one Reason i've got them already ) However now i need to figure it out to directly open the stream on the network, it´s still rerouting true my Nginx / Server (RTMP) to HLS stream. But however it's even better then it was. Realy funny fact... The USB Camera (old one) Stream goes true FFMPEG hardware encoded(Raspberry) with date / name stamp > Nginx > FFMPEG > second Nginx server > iSpy > my Computer to watch... And all this just a split second delay And just a cool tip : I'm running the Agent with google-crhome in app mode: google-chrome --app=:8090 So it's not using all the space with menubar / adressbar / buttons

First of all, kudos on making your own NVR from that great stack of software. I'm glad I was able to point you to something new, and I hope it continues to give you what you are looking for. Glad you're here with us!
