Turn your Mac into a discreet 4K security cam with motion alerts. Records offline, syncs with iCloud Photos, works on the lock screen. No account required.
Turn any Mac running macOS 13 or later into a motion-activated camera that records at the highest resolution your webcam supports (up to 4K). Everything happens on-device with no internet and no account.
Two Smart Modes:
• Monitor Mode – start monitoring instantly with one click.
• Surveillance Mode – arms itself when you lock the screen (even in sleep) and stops when you return, saving power.
Set & Forget Automation:
• Launch at Login for 24 / 7 protection.
• Camera fallback: if your primary lens disconnects, SP Cam switches to the next available webcam without missing a frame.
• Fine-tune motion sensitivity (0–4), recording length (10 s – 1 min) and cool-down.
Store Footage Your Way:
• Save directly to Photos in a dedicated “SP Cam” album. Apple syncs videos to all devices via iCloud Photos.
• Or pick any local folder for external drives or NAS workflows.
Privacy & Battery First:
• Runs entirely offline; no data leaves your Mac unless you choose iCloud Photos.
• Lightweight algorithm minimises CPU load and battery drain.
Built for macOS:
• Native Apple Silicon and Intel support.
• Menu-bar control, optional Dock icon, multi-language UI.
• Works with the built-in FaceTime camera, Continuity Camera (use your iPhone), or any USB/IP webcam.
Popular Uses:
Home or dorm security, office after-hours monitoring, pet or baby watch, evidence collection, maker time-lapses & any time you need silent, automatic video proof.
Purchase Options:
Monthly, Yearly, or one-time Lifetime licence. Unsure? Request a refund through Apple within 14 days.
Legal & Ethics:
Record only where lawful and with proper consent. SP Cam is intended for legitimate monitoring; the developer accepts no liability for misuse.

Incredible Spy Camera App and Truly Outstanding Support!

I am very impressed with this app; it records videos through my computer beautifully. I initially experienced a minor bug, and I reached out for help. The personal customer service I received was simply outstanding. The developer worked with me directly, going back and forth until the issue was fully resolved. They didn't stop until they were absolutely sure the spy cam was working smoothly for me. 10/10 experience!
Hi and thank you
Arman Mirzaei
very impressive and under-rated but iOS 15 version too please, one purchase and integrity of interface over devices, also that iPhones are smaller and we have more of them in a house than macs! ❤️
Developer Response

Not Very Good

This product spiked my interest from its claims. However after trying it and going through endless options tthat left to no solution. Which brngs me to the problem, on screenlock the cam stops recording (whch is -- lets say pointless). Left me thinking maybe this was the spycam.
Developer Response
Hi, following up on my earlier response: Version 2.9 is now live on the App Store and fixes exactly the issue you described! The screen lock recording problem turned out to be a bug specific to Intel Macs, and it's now resolved. I hope you'll give it another try, it should work as expected now. Feel free to reach out at support@spcam.app if you run into anything else!
Nifty and stable, but slow

There is at least one better free alternative that primarily is MUCH quicker to record. Because that’s the major downside with this software. It’s glacial, sadly. Otherwise well made and doesn’t crash
Developer Response
Hi, Thank you so much for your feedback! I’ll work on improving the motion detection feature for the next version of SpyCam. In the meantime, if you have any additional feedback or issues, please feel free to reach out to me directly at support@spycam-app.com. I’d be happy to assist!
