How to get notification if computer freezes?
Anybody have any ideas on how I can get notified if my mac mini freezes?
Didn't realize I wasn't getting any recordings as my computer had frozen.

you probably know you will have to have another machine running to tell if your SSpy server machine has locked up. Then that monitoring machine will can ping you.
You could probably script something up on a Pi or other low cost low power computer.
I ended up using https://www.freshworks.com/website-monitoring/ to notify me via e-mail that the server is "down".
I couldn't get it to work until I pointed it at one of the camera URL's rather than the main server URL, but it serves the same purpose regardless.
I plan on setting up mail rules that will power cycle the computer via IFTTT and a smart plug.
Another remedy could be to write a script to reboot your machine after “x” amount of days.
