Low Frame Rate with a Logitech c920 USB WebCam
After writing that I changed the USB connection with the webcam to use a different USB Hub (USB-C instead of USB-3) and now I'm seeing 25fps on SS. This has me wondering if there is some issue with the other Anker USB hub (this connects to the…

Any chance this feature will be added to SS at some point?

Moved USB plugs for Cameras, How do I update securityspy?
I figured it out but I will say it could be easier in that I created new camera instances in SS prefs then duplicated my original camera setup to the new camera however the capture destination was not copied to the new camera. This needs some work.

Skip to next motion capture segment?
I installed dvr-scan (an open source command line tool) that may do what you want with a long, continuously recorded video file. Here is the webpage for it: https://dvr-scan.readthedocs.io/en/latest/download/ It's very easy to use (-i is the …

Connection issues with High Sierra and Hikvision camera
Thanks for the tips. I have run the plugin you mention in a Windows VirtualBox guest session so I believe the camera has current firmware. I would also point out that SecuritySpy is able to maintain a connection with this camera when running Sierr…

What I'm thinking of doing is running a VirtualBox VM running Windows into which I will install the browser plugin so I do things I can't or won't do with my native Mac OS.

I tried the iOS iVMS-4500 lite app which does connect to the camera and allows some basic configuration control for the camera but it does not let me configure the OSD feature. 8^/

I have the hikvision camera now and it does allow changing a variety of video options including the resolution. It is working well with SecuritySpy although I have a minor issue with this camera because it requires some kind of browser plugin to mo…

This review mentions the video resolution can be lowered so I'm getting it: https://securitycamcenter.com/hikvision-ds-2cd2442fwd-iw-4mp-ir-cube-network-camera-review/ I'm am very curious to see how the built-in PIR detection works.

Thanks, I should see if I can find the Hikvision manual to find out if that camera has resolution settings.

Ben, can you give me an idea as to how much bandwidth 4MP consumes? I'm asking because of the places I find that sell the US/English version of the Hikvision cube camera the 4MP is actually less than the 3MP version.

Setting a camera motion capture pref back to manual does not disarm the motion capture
Thanks for the help, I understand now.

On the safe side. Which IP camera brands?
I would add: disable the UPnP feature on cameras to keep them from opening a hole/listening port on the router. Only allow Internet access to the video feeds via an app like securityspy and make sure that access is https protected.

A couple suggestions for the SecuritySpy OS X app
From a user interface angle this could be clearer which is why I suggest a pause and resume control.

A couple suggestions for the SecuritySpy OS X app
Let me clarify that for item 2. where I have several different cameras with some recording when motion detected and others recording motion when audio triggered, I would like to be able to pause that then resume with the same triggers/actions.

Can't view cameras using iPhone SecuritySpy app when Mac SecuritySpy app's trial has expired?
I searched the FAQ for that info so it may be good to put that info there as well.

Need one more camera
I feel the same way. It would be nice if there were a smaller price increase per camera.
