SecuritySpy

Worth the price and works great for my home needs!

I’ve been a fan of SecuritySpy for a while now. Works perfectly with SecuritySpy for the Mac to create your own network camera security system. Perfect for small-to-medium business owners wary of cloud-based offerings. Next feature request would be to allow Shortcuts that trigger the Continuous-Capture recording, Motion-Capture recording and Actions settings for your cameras (such as “Set all cameras to Motion-Capture).

I just wanted to un- install - No Way ?? No reply to my email from support ? This is not correct or secure

SecuritySpy on my computer can control PTZ for my cameras but it's unavailable for the iOS version it seems. This is the one major reason I was looking at this over Remote Patrol. Not sure why it works on the desktop app but not for iOS as that's the main feature I'm looking for. Otherwise it's great and quite fast/responsive.

This app may, with continued development, be a workable alternative to the other SecuritySpy remote viewing app, Remote Patrol. It is definitely faster to find our home Wi-Fi connection and automatically configure itself. And it is much faster to remotely bring up our camera feeds on our iPhones. However, viewing camera feeds over Wi-Fi needs some work: on phones and pads the signal drops and the screens freeze after about 30 seconds despite the timeout setting in the SecuritySpy parent program being configured to allow over a million seconds. The other issue is significant: NO iOS NOTIFICATIONS as are available in Remote Patrol!! This is critical to a remote camera monitoring setup where being able to assess a security threat and alert police in a timely manner is so critical to protecting our property and personal security. What we do now is have SecuritySpy on our workstation send us still images to an iCloud account when motion is detected--this is cludgy and slow and diminishes the effectiveness of the program and its value as a surveillance camera control system.

This app seems to be pretty solid and works great for SecuritySpy.

I have have been using Security Spy software for many years. I have tried using the SecSpy app on numerous iPads and iPhones for many years as well. I use the latest Netgear Orbi routers, and have had a Nighthawk as well. The app does not connect. Port Forwarding is turned on, and UPnP enabled. I have no problem with other applications. I have corresponded many times with the developer and have complied with everything he said. He says it SHOULD work. The only solutions he offers are all of the expensive other options besides port forwarding. This product is wothless.

I've used Security Spy to protect my house for about 8 years, with no problems whatsoever. It's stable, and the developer continues to make incremental improvements and updates. Unlike "point and shoot" consumer products, this program allows a wide range of controls over video streaming and recording formats. The downside is that if you're like me you're going to fiddle around and make things worse while you're getting your at-home degree in video engineering! This iOS app is simply a handy way to check your cameras in real time, and to view or download whatever recordings Security Spy has made. I suspect most of the problems other reviewers have encountered are from bandwidth limitations, the limited graphics capabilities of older iPads, or simply asking too much from this accessory. If one needs remote access to the full capabilities of Security Spy, use a Remote Desktop solution, of which there are many.

I use the AppleTV app every day. The back end and the front end are rock solid for me. In over 10 years I think SS on Mac has only crashed three times. The ATV version recently got an update where the streamed videos look much better on my 4K TV’s. Thank you Ben. I will always be a loyal customer. Motion detection could use some tweaking but headlights are always going to be trouble I suppose.

Been using this app for a while now. There’s no way of searching for a specific date and time without having to roll through to the date and time you want to view.
