Now you can leverage this simple Control4 driver to Arm or Disarm the iSpy Agent DVR system. Using the device specific command to either arm or disarm you could turn alerts on when leaving the house in "Away" mode, for example, and turn off alerts in "Home" mode.
What is iSpy Agent DVR?
A new video surveillance solution for the Internet Of Things available on Windows, OSX and Linux. Agent DVR doesn’t need port forwarding for remote access, that means no fiddly router setup. The UI scales on all modern devices from phones to tablets and desktops.
Features
- Supports more devices than any other solution including IP cameras, ONVIF devices, local USB cameras and more. No limit on the number of devices you can add. Supports audio devices as well!
- Record to MP4, VP8/9, GPU and Raw. Agent will save the raw stream from your camera when possible to minimise CPU usage.
- Includes a huge range of motion detectors from basic motion detection to object tracking, trip wires and object recognition. Includes AI integration to minimise false alerts.
- Send an email, SMS, push notifications to mobile devices, call a URL, desktop alerts, notify an MQTT endpoint and many more. The notification options are endless.
- Agent uses custom tech to avoid the usual requirement of opening up ports on your router for remote access. Access from anywhere over SSL with zero router configuration. It even works if Agent is running behind a strict firewall or over a mobile network.
