Application memory
I've been having MAC application memory issues lately.
Looking at my MAC activity monitor I see that Security spy takes up ~800MB
I have 8 cameras.
Is this about right?
Thanks

Are you able to install more RAM into your Mac?
Thanks for responding.
Have 40GB RAM on my MAC
Just wanted to check on Security Spy since it was the highest (~800MB) of the all the apps I recognize in activity monitor.
Its the apple wierd stuff that is using memory as time goes. I restarted my MAC earlier today and already I have:
"cloudd" is currently at 28GB
"nsurlsessiond" at 19GB
"commerce" as 12GB
"com.apple.Safari.Safebrowsing.Service" at 9GB
etc
Need to do some reserach on what these are

Your Mac has a lot of RAM, which is great, but something is using a lot of it, and it's not SecuritySpy (800 MB is only 2% of 40 GB). The figures you list for those other processes sound really excessive. However, are you actually seeing memory errors, or the memory indicator in Activity Monitor going into the orange or red?
I receive the run out of memory message.
My Memory Pressure goes yellow then red.
I've had some go even higher then the 28GB above.
Still haven;t found out why or how to stop....
I force quit them to speed mac up. I did reset my RAM once. No luck.
becoming a pain....
Did look at the console - lots of SIGKILL lines...
Well I rebooted in Safe mode - did not notice the problem.
Then rebooted normally and so far the memory issue has not accurred....
If this problem persists, I would recommend a fresh install of macOS.
so far its been two days and the issue has not returned.
