Do the maths on your camera bill
Cloud surveillance platforms typically charge per camera, per month - so a 20-camera business can end up paying hundreds of dollars a month just to keep recording. Agent DVR takes the opposite approach: your cameras and storage stay on your own hardware, and one flat subscription covers the whole deployment.
| Agent DVR | Typical cloud VSaaS | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat plans from $7.95/mo | Per camera, per month |
| Camera limit | Unlimited | Pay for each one |
| Hardware | Your own PC, server or NAS + almost any IP/ONVIF/RTSP camera | Proprietary cameras & gateways |
| Footage location | On your premises (with optional cloud upload) | Vendor's cloud |
| If you cancel | Keep recording locally | Cameras stop working or lose features |
Built for multiple locations
Remote access, no networking headaches
View live and recorded video from every site in a web browser or the native iOS and Android apps. No port forwarding, no VPN, no static IPs - the built-in relay handles it.
Works with the cameras you already own
Supports tens of thousands of camera models - IP, ONVIF, RTSP, USB. No rip-and-replace: keep your existing cameras and add Agent DVR on top.
AI detection that cuts false alerts
Real-time person, vehicle and object detection with on-device training that learns from your feedback - plus integrations with OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama and local AI servers.
Off-site backup & business licensing
Automatic cloud upload of recordings for off-site evidence, and every subscription is licensed for commercial use - one less compliance box to worry about.
Runs on whatever you've got
Windows, macOS, Linux, Docker or a Raspberry Pi - Agent DVR is cross-platform, so integrators and IT teams can deploy it on existing hardware at each site. There's a full HTTP API for automation and integration with the rest of your stack.
Running a hosted or managed service?
Security installers and service providers can run Agent DVR on their own servers as the recording backend for their customers, behind their own portal or app. See Hosted and Managed Services in our Terms of Service for how licensing works.
