Download and Installation

Install via pip      

DVR-Scan is available via pip as the dvr-scan package. See below for instructions on installing a non-pip version of OpenCV. To ensure you have all the requirements installed, open a python interpreter, and ensure you can run import cv2 without any errors.

If GUI support is not required (e.g. for server-only usage), you can install the headless version of OpenCV via pip install dvr-scan[opencv-headless].

Windows Build (64-bit Only)  

Python Installer (All Platforms)      

To install from source, download and extract the latest release to a location of your choice, and make sure you have the appropriate system requirements installed before continuing. DVR-Scan can be installed by running the following command in the location of the extracted files (don't forget sudo if you're installing system-wide):

python setup.py install

See the section Installing & Updating for instructions on installing DVR-Scan and the required system dependencies. The source distribution is the recommended download for Linux and Mac users. Although source installation is possible on Windows, the installer and portable versions are the recommended downloads for Windows users, as all required dependencies come bundled with these distributions.
