With the growing popularity of the Apple Macintosh computer systems there has been an increase in demand for IP network cameras and network video surveillance software that supports the Mac platform. Up until recently it has been next to impossible to find Mac support for network video surveillance products as these products have been designed for the Windows PC market.
The SecuritySpy software application, developed by Ben Bird and Ben Software, is a multi-camera video surveillance application designed for Macintosh computer systems. The SecuritySpy software offers standard monitoring and recording found commonplace with Windows based network video surveillance software and includes support for Macintosh compatible video input devices. If you are a Mac user and feel like you’ve been left in the dark, be sure to check out the SecuritySpy software from Ben Software.
SecuritySpy Features:
- Displays and captures video from multiple cameras simultaneously
- Supports Macintosh compatible video and audio input devices
- Supports IP cameras and network video servers
- Support over 35 network camera brands including Axis, Arecont, Sony, Vivotek and more
- Motion Detection and Timelapse capture features, with audio
- Built-in web server for viewing of images and video over a network
- Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) support for many network cameras
- Powerful real-time compression with support for JPEG and MPEG4
- FTP upload feature and Email notification features
- Pre-capture buffer to capture video before the time of motion

Hello guys. Thanks for the information on the MAC software! I recently did a 32 camera install using ACTI megapixel cameras on an Intel Quad core NVR. The owner of the restuarant hates Windows PC’s. We won the bid because we found an NVR software that supported both ACTI megapixel cameras and APPLE Macintosh as a Client in the Server-Client network. The NVR at the restuarant was set up using a Linux distro by Exacqvision software. There ie no reaosn for the customer to change camera or recording settings. This also prevents costly call-backs. If they want to change something, they can do it remotely through the MACintosh software client.
Thanks for this new information about MAcintosh ip camera server software! I will be requesting ioformation soon, for my next MAC ip camera install.
