Doesn’t Work
ccwoodar
Program does not work.Requires OSX High Sierra and won’t load on any prvious version of OSX.I updated my machine to High Sierra and loaded the program. It says that monitoring the first 10 cameras is free, but there is no way to activate the cameras. I have 3 cameras configured that the program says are online, that the program has successfully connected to and initialized but when it tries to retrieve video, a "connection is lost" error displays. Older versions had an “activate” button that is no longer in the new version. All of their support is based on the older version so is no help at all.Looks like they tried to make this compatible with High Sierra and change their licensing and have failed miserabley.
Left for dead.

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.
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.
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.
