Network load remote

I have multiple camera on 2 locations (and multiple licenses). Sspy always captures all cameras even when all windows are closed (cams are passive and no motion capture). So there is network traffic. This is too much for my Inet connection for the remote cams.
A few times a day I check the remote cams, but the local cam here runs all day. All on the same Mac.

Is it possible to avoid Inet traffic for some cams ? Or could you add such a feature in the next version, like a prefs checkbox that only visible cams in windows cause traffic ?

Thank you

    Yes this is the default behaviour, because cameras are usually all at the same location and SecuritySpy has to be ready to start capturing from them at any moment, hence video is being streamed from the cameras to the Mac continuously.

    For the two remote cameras, since you only need to check them a few times a day, have you considered other options to do this? For example, simply use a web browser or the SecuritySpy Dashboard widget?
