    sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https &&
    sudo apt-get update &&
    sudo apt-get install -y aspnetcore-runtime-3.1

If your OS doesn't already have a shared FFmpeg build installed (64 bit Buster on the Pi comes with compatible FFmpeg):

  • Setup Snap (will reboot):
    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install snapd

  • A Docker image of Agent DVR will install Agent DVR on a virtual Linux image on any supported operating system. Please see the docker file for options.

    Important: The docker version of Agent includes a TURN server to work around port access limitations on Docker. If Docker isn't running in Host mode (which is only available on linux hosts) then you will need to access the UI of Agent by http://IPADDRESS:8090 instead of http://localhost:8090 (where IPADDRESS is the LAN IP address of your host computer).

    To install Agent under docker you can call (for example):
    docker run -it -p 8090:8090 -p 3478:3478/udp -p 50000-50010:50000-50010/udp -v /appdata/ispyagentdvr/config/:/agent/Media/XML/ -v /appdata/ispyagentdvr/media/:/agent/Media/WebServerRoot/Media/ -v /appdata/ispyagentdvr/commands:/agent/Commands/ -e TZ=America/Los_Angeles --name agentdvr doitandbedone/ispyagentdvr

    To run Agent if it's already installed:
    docker start agentdvr

    An nVidia compatible docker install is also available. This requires more setup than the standard docker install and is recommended for advanced users only. Please read the instructions on the docker page:
    Docker File (with nVidia support)
