Installation ​

Scrypted can be installed on Windows, Mac, or Linux as a desktop app or as a background service.

After the chosen installation method is complete, return to this page to continue with Camera Setup.

Desktop App ​

The recommended installation method for Mac and Windows is the Desktop App. It provides hardware accelerated features unavailable to the background service, inside a self contained, easily installable package.

Desktop App users on Ubuntu must install the app using apt to receive auto updates.
