IOS Geofencing capability for SecuritySpy
Thanks @Ben. That's great to hear. I'm not sure how many people have expressed an interest in this feature, but I think it would be very helpful for many folks. FWIW, from a business perspective for you, this kind of auto-arm/disarm featu…

Drop in frame rate when camera is being recorded.
Agreed. Ben's experience is invaluable. FWIW: If I had to guess, a lower frame rate in a low-light condition might be seen in many cameras - depending on how they deal with exposure, aperture size, IR lights, etc... Generally speaking with any…

Hey @Ben. That's great. MAC address would be a great approach. Glad to hear it's on the radar. Another suggestion regarding this feature: Setting a variable in the app to allow for how quickly the system reacts to the change in location. …

iOS App Bugs/Feature Requests
Greetings @Ben. Are you guys working on an iOS update? I don't want to pester you all, but it's been a few months and was just curious if we might see something with some added features. I'm guessing you've got plenty to do with …

IOS Geofencing capability for SecuritySpy
FWIW, I'm sure this has been thought of before, but another approach could be flagging if your iOS device is logged into the local WIFI network that the MacOS SS app is running on. If your iOS device leaves the local network, than the system a…

Hi @Ben, Just an FYI if you're interested regarding PTZ commands... I've noticed recently that I need to re-send PTZ position change requests from the iOS app in order for the request to take. The funny thing is that I don't know if …

iOS App not working after upgrade to 4.1.2
@Ben, thanks for link. I'm happy to say that it's no longer needed as I'm now able to log into server via LAN and VPN (with iOS 1.1.1 and MacOS 4.1.4) by simply turning off "Advertise Bonjour" in MacOS app settings - thanks …

Thanks @Ben. That makes perfect sense. I'll either use silent mode (with no vibration) or continue to use the iMessage applescript alerts which also works well.

Playing Saved Videos in Mobile Safari
@Ben, once again, thanks for all the details and suggestions. My desire was to always use the SSpy iOS app, which was the one solution that would play the saved videos. The problem was that I was having problems using the iOS app over VPN, which yo…

Playing Saved Videos in Mobile Safari
Ah, ok. Gotcha. The reason I asked is that I have a VPN set up, and I'm having trouble getting the SecSpy iOS app to work on it. Safari mobile works great with the exception of playing back saved videos (and being a bit clunky compared to the…

Hey @BrianM. Thanks for the comment. Helpful to see that others can't play back recordings in mobile web browser either. Q: When you write "remotely or LAN", are you implying that you're able to get access to the SecSpy video se…

Thanks @Ben. I'll try to tackle this once I have a working setup for the MacOS and iOS app working together. So far, I don't have a usable solution yet. Trying to sort it out thru email support. Thanks very much.

Feature suggestion for future update: - On the main screen of the iOS app, have an "All On / Off" button, similar in functionality to the MacOS app Menu pulldown Control > Arm / Disarm All Modes.

Ugh. I'm now on the list of people having problems with MacOS 4.1.2 and iOS 1.1.1. It was all working fine the other day on both LAN and externally through VPN. Now, it's very buggy connecting and can't get a stable connection to th…
