Velocity2.5

High-performance home video integration and automation platform

Scrypted maintains a slow maintenance cadence — one release in ten months with minor TypeScript fixes.

smart-homenvrhome-automationtypescriptopen-sourceself-hosted
◆Current state
Scrypted, a home automation and NVR platform, has shipped one release in the past ten months (v0.145.0, September 2026), following a long gap after v0.143.0 in November 2025. The most recent release contains only TypeScript type-safety refactoring — definite assignment assertions, non-null checks, and undefined handling. Earlier releases added cluster worker address support (v0.135.0) and Amcrest video text overlay support (v0.139.0). The project shows no user-facing feature momentum.
◆Where it's heading
Scrypted appears to be in maintenance mode. The gap between releases is growing, and recent changelogs are dominated by internal refactoring rather than user-visible features. The project likely serves a dedicated user base that values stability over velocity. There is no visible signal of architectural change or new capability direction.
◆Prediction
The entries don't support a confident prediction. The project continues stable maintenance; a major version or hardware integration addition would be needed to indicate a direction change. Users on v0.143.0 or earlier have no material reason to upgrade based on the entries shown.

    v0.139.0: Amcrest video text overlay support

    v0.139.0 adds video text overlay support for Amcrest cameras — a user-visible feature that lets operators burn timestamp or metadata text into video streams from supported hardware. This is the most substantive user-facing change across the visible release history.

    v0.135.0: cluster worker address support

    v0.135.0 adds cluster worker address support, enabling proper address resolution across Scrypted cluster nodes. A real capability addition for distributed deployments but narrow in scope — relevant only to users running multi-node Scrypted clusters.
