The SecuritySpy screensaver allows you to view live video from one or more SecuritySpy servers, as a full-screen screensaver on your Mac. This can be a convenient and useful way to monitor your cameras, and this tutorial will show you how to set this up.
The screensaver works by connecting to SecuritySpy’s web interface to obtain the video streams.

On the right side of the Desktop & Screen Saver window, click the Screen Saver Options button to configure the screensaver:
