Scrypted is a home automation platform primarily focusing on making camera experiences seamless. Scrypted can bridge most cameras to the three major home hubs: HomeKit (including HomeKit Secure Video), Google Home, and Alexa. Scrypted streams are fast, low latency, and have rock solid reliability. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Scrypted on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest version of Scrypted v0.122.0
