Description
The official iPhone, iPad and Apple TV app for SecuritySpy. The essential component of a complete video surveillance system for your Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, this app allows you to easily monitor your CCTV system from wherever you are.
This iOS app offers the following free features:
- Live video and two-way audio from your cameras
- Receive push notifications when motion is detected
- Control PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) for cameras with these features
- Save or share images from your cameras via email, iMessage, iCloud Photo Sharing and more
- Arm or disarm camera recording modes
- Easy setup with auto-discovery of SecuritySpy servers on your network
- View and manage multiple SecuritySpy servers
Additionally, there is an in-app purchase to add the following features:
- Multiplex: cycle through groups of simultaneous live camera views in full screen
- Captures: play back previously-captured footage from all your cameras, including motion-detected clips, image files or whole-day movies
This in-app purchase is a one-time payment that covers ALL devices linked to your account.
Please note you will need a Mac running SecuritySpy 4.0.8 or newer (www.securityspy.com), with a SecuritySpy software license that covers the number of cameras you want to use in the app. In addition, push notifications and two-way audio require iOS 10.
We are always happy to hear your feedback, so please get in touch if you have any suggestions for future updates.

Ratings and Reviews
Works fine
I would like to see more of the features found on the desktop app / server, such as groups and camera stats (frames per second), the ability to set the number of cameras displayed per screen, that sort of thing.
That said, it starts up fast (I’ve 8 cameras) and offers most of the controls you might want, such as motion capture / action arming and disarming, as well as saving of still images.
I paid for the in-app purchase for the multiplex and captures viewing, but in my situation I really didn’t need to. ALL the basic features are free.
Note that you can also download the app for the Apple TV 4K, which is also free, but if you’ve paid the in-app purchase, the extra features are unlocked there too, which is very, very fair.
Overall I like this app, and have it on 4 iOS devices and the aforementioned Apple TV. The server component is running with hardly any CPU use on a 2018 Mac Mini.
I would however like to see just a bit more polish and user options.
Good update
Thanks for dark mode!

Thanks for your feedback!
... it just works
I use this app all the time to monitor my house when I'm away. Alerts show a still image so you don't need to scroll through the whole video - an excellent idea when you're away on limited broadband.
