ViewCam allows you to view live video and audio from IP cameras (also known as network cameras or IP surveillance cameras). ONVIF support ensures that ViewCam can work with virtually all IP cameras on the market, and also many hardware NVRs (Network Video Recorders), such as Dahua, Hikvision and Amcrest models. Additional features include instant replay of recent video, image capture, group windows, audio streaming, and PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) control.

The main features of ViewCam are:

- View all cameras in one window, each camera in its own window, or in user-defined group windows
- Instant replay feature to replay recent video, or save it as a movie file
- Digital Pan/Tilt/Zoom for all cameras
- Mechanical Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) support for cameras with this feature
- Motion detection with visual feedback in video windows
- Streaming and playback of live audio from cameras
- Save still images from any camera to your hard drive

Love this app!

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.

Just what I was looking for!

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!

Fantastic app

I use ViewCam to display 15 cameras on several wall-mounted iPads in my home.

First, the setup is amazingly simple and straightforward. In fact, if you run SecuritySpy, which I do, the setup is trivial.

Second, the appearance of the app is aesthetically pleasing. ViewCam fits right in with a modern home decor.

Finally, the app does exactly what is says it does without issues.
