First off, this guy is an excellent programmer for Mac. If you have a need for software to monitor IP cams, his software is second to none, IMO. I have used his high end SecuritySpy for a long time but it was always major overkill for a hobbyist. SecuritySpy is very capable but is quite expensive for a hobbyist with lots of IP cameras with little need for NVR capability or high-end security capabilities. Fortunately, ViewCam is the perfect solution for a simpler but still capable viewing platform. With > 12 cameras, It loads every camera (WAN & LAN) faster than my camera providers proprietary software can load the first. No unnecessary borders and a tight viewing port, easily configured to arbitrary rows/columns. Not to be overly dramatic or hyperbolic, but I am so happy to have found ViewCam and thankful he developed this more basic and affordable version of his powerful SecuritySpy.

Been a customer for a number of years now. Back in 2016 I set up a security system at my parents' house using some IP cameras and SecuritySpy on an old 2012 Mac Mini so when I saw ViewCam I was sure the product was excellent. I was not disappointed.ViewCam is everything I wanted as a SecurityCam viewer on my Macbook Pro. Nice clean interface. Doesn't hog system resources. Basically "just works". I load the app, go fullscreen, and just 3 finger swipe over to it in the blink of an eye when I need a view of my cameras. Dead simple and effective.Setup is very easy and is very similar to setting up SecuritySpy if you've ever done that. Ben Software products do a great job of autodiscovering devices that support that. If your devies are ONVIF chances are you'll be able to set them up using autodiscover without issue.

I've used SecuritySpy a long time ago. It filled my need, but had many features I never used, but drive up the cost. While searching the app store one day for something else altogether, I came across ViewCam. The cost is reasonable and it does everything I need it to. The developer has recently updated it, so it stays current unlike a lot of "abandonware" on the app store. Highly recommended!

Hoping this is fixed in a future release.The app often loses contact with some or all of the cameras and I have to close the app and re-open it. Support did respond to my ticket and they're hoping it gets fixed in a future release.The scan function will only scan the current subnet - many folks put their cameras on a different subnet or VLAN. This won't find them, though manually provisioning them does seem to work.
