Turn your Mac into a powerful NVR! Now with an always-on Storage Server, multi-user accounts, and a new 16-camera Pro tier.
Use IP Camera Viewer 2 to turn your Mac into a professional-grade Network Video Recorder (NVR), allowing you to effortlessly monitor and record video from up to 16 IP cameras.
Start for Free: Manage up to 2 cameras with a rolling 24-hour local recording window completely free. When you are ready to scale, easily upgrade to unlock more cameras and unlimited local retention.
Whether you need scheduled continuous recording or smart, event-based capture (like Motion or Person Detection), our app makes setup a breeze. Quickly scrub through the timeline, search for specific events, and export them as high-quality movies or images.
Always-On Storage Server: Install our free companion app, DComplex Manager, to run a dedicated recording daemon on your Mac. It records around the clock to any internal or external disk — free of app-sandbox limits — and keeps running even when the main app is closed.
Multi-User Accounts: On the Pro tier, create named Admin and Viewer accounts on your Storage Server. Viewers get live view and playback only; Admins get full configuration. Perfect for teams, businesses, and households — share access without sharing the owner password.
Secure Remote Access: View your NVR's live feeds and recorded playback from any other Mac signed in with your Apple iCloud Account, and from iPhone and iPad. The app automatically discovers your registered computers — including a second Mac running the Storage Server — and connects securely, keeping your live video completely off third-party servers.
Unified Timeline: Browse your local, Storage Server, network-hosted, and cloud recordings in one intuitive window. Each source is clearly marked, allowing you to seamlessly scrub through your complete history regardless of where the file is physically stored. Live storage health — retention window, disk summary, and last recorded segment — is shown right in the NVR detail view.

I currently have 28 ip cameras that I monitor from my macbook pro. I originally had the ipcamera viewer software but they quit upgrading it with new camera profiles so I had to get the ipcamera viewer 2 software because I got a newer camera and they only supported it on the ipcamera viewer 2 software. Now I have another newer camera and its not supported on this software but supposedley it is on the ipcamera recorder software so your telling me I have to buy yet another version of your software to monitor my cameras and pay an additional fee for each camera even though I do not want to record from them? No thanks. I will find another solution somewhere else. Also, why does this software put such a strain on my cpu? I can view twice as many cameras on my ipad at the same time with no problem yet looking at the same cameras from my mac book pro with intel i7 sends my cpu usage over %120? I have sent multiple questions to the developer asking if they will upgrade the software to support newer cameras but have not recieved a reply. The developers must have left this app for dead. No support, they dont return emails, and its beeen nearly a year since this app has had an update, its still at version 1.0! I do not reccomend anybody to by this software or any software from this developer until they change the way they do business. Oh how I wish the developers of the live cams pro ios app would develop a mac app.
Just what I wanted

I am using 2 cameras in my set up. The Axis was detected automatically by this app. The Trendnet camera was connected manually, but it was a simple process. I have both set up to record on motion and with face detection. That whole set up took 5 minutes at the most. It is working flawlessly. This is a simple layout which is customizable to the amount of cameras you have. I paid the $1.99 to add the recording capability of my second camera. It would be nice to have the ability to save the files to a location other than the Movies folder, especially since I have a huge external drive. Another want, is the ability to FTP an image, either during an event or at a set interval.Good job. I'm looking forward to how this will improve.
Love this app on my iMac

I love to pull this app up when I'm on my iMac and see all my cameras. I have many different cameras like Foscam/D-link/Agasio which all work and the pan/tilt work with them too. However, I recently got a Tenvis 2013 and this camera caused a major issue with this software as it would continue to attempt to bring up an image and I would have to Force Quit the program. I contacted DComplex and they responded immediately with a recommendation and are attempting to fix this problem. Even with this minor issue for me I would purchase this application again and again. The only other wish I might have is to be able to add some public WebCams like our local traffic cams. Maybe you can already do this I just haven't figured it out yet.
Very nice application, ans does what it says!

After using BlueIris in the Windows world, I was looking for a good multi-camera recorder for OSX and found this one. Setup took a couple of minutes, and was extremely easy to configure. My only suggestion, and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead on 5 was the fixed location of the date and time stamp in the top, center of the recorded video. A nice enhancement would be the ability to place the timestamp anywhere the user wants on the screen, and the select their own colorfor the timestamp font for maximum visibility.Try this program, and you will not be disapointed - a quality product all around!
Version 26.35 introduces always-on recording, team access, and a new top-tier plan.
• Storage Server: Install our free companion app, Storage Server, to run a dedicated recording daemon on your Mac. It records 24/7 to any internal or external disk — beyond app-sandbox limits — and keeps going even when the app is closed. Choose per camera whether to record locally or to the Storage Server.
• Automatic remote NVR: A second Mac running the Storage Server is discovered and added on its own — no separate setup step.
• Multi-User Accounts (Pro): Create named Admin and Viewer logins on your Storage Server. Share live view and playback without handing out the owner password.
• New Pro 16 tier: Record up to 16 cameras, with the Storage Server, unlimited retention, multi-user accounts.
• Storage health at a glance: Retention window, disk summary, and last recorded segment now appear in the NVR detail view.
