What is it?

iSpy is the world's most popular video surveillance app, compatible with most consumer and IP webcams. With more than 2 million global users, iSpy surpasses other solutions on the market in compatibility and reach. It includes a robust service called Agent that facilitates both local and remote user interface on all devices. Originally designed in 2007, iSpy has been continually developed to offer a feature-rich and robust solution. It is ideal for small business security, but is also valued for home monitoring, neighborhood surveillance and mobile access through iSpyConnect.com, standing out for its facial recognition and the detection of changes in lighting and sound.

What problems does it solve?

iSpy solves the need for expensive and complex surveillance systems by offering an affordable and easy-to-use alternative. It is a scalable solution that allows personalized real-time surveillance, suitable for various environments, from businesses to homes, ensuring security and flexibility in monitoring.

How does the tool work?

iSpy is an open-source video surveillance app that connects to webcams or IP cameras to display live views. It allows you to define specific areas to detect motion and set up automatic recordings. It offers facial recognition, light and audio detection, and remote access, making it ideal for business and home security.

Open standards

The iSpy video surveillance system relies on the ONVIF and RTSP protocols to discover IP cameras and stream video. Thanks to this open compatibility, any compliant device can be added to the network, and streams can be shared with recorders or analytics without proprietary converters.
