System RequirementsĪny Mac running macOS 10.13.6 or later, including macOS 12 Monterey. If you own an older version of SecuritySpy, please read about upgrading from a previous version of SecuritySpy. I control these devices using a server on my home network instead of trusting a service out on the cloud.The latest version is 5.5, released 3 August 2022. In addition to the cameras I have all home lighting, lawn sprinklers, outside door locks, garage door openers and furnace-A/C thermostat under home automation. There is an app for IOS and Apple TV so I can put the video on my VPN connected phone or household TVs. I also have a monitor at work in my office showing the video from my security cameras at home. I keep about a month of motion capture video. If my computer is stolen I will still have a recording of all the video of the event. I send the motion capture data to a hidden NAS that would not be found by a thief. I use a VPN to connect to my network to get to my SecuritySpy server.

I block the cameras from my home router and only access them via SecuritySpy software on my homes LAN. I use SecuritySpy software to capture all the feeds and do motion detection recording.

The 720p saves CPU load and is good enough for many views. 9 of the cameras are sending 720P and 7 are streaming at 1080p.

I have the cameras stream at 8 to 15 frames a second depending on the camera view. The inside cameras cover my garage, and first floor including all of the entrances.

I used to have cameras with pan, tilt, zoom but now I use 10 wide angle overlapping cameras that can cover all of my outside property. The IR is very useful for seeing what is happening at night.

The cameras are outdoor rated, IR and 1080p capable. I use 5 of the Vivotek FD8169 and and 11 of the Foscam FI9900P. One of them is pointed at my observatory. I have 16 HD cameras on my property, 10 outside, 6 inside. Example, TEC was acting funny on a CCD cam, positioned scope so we could zoom in on the back of the CCD and see that the fan was not turning and had failed.Īnother nice feature is most have motion detection so if the observatory is disturbed during daylight hours (time is set in the web based program) you will get a text and/or e mail.ĭepending on the area of your observatory make sure of the temp rating for the camera, we have had good luck with the more expensive brands rated at 32° F (0° C) operating down to 0° F (-17° C) (indoor cams).Īny rating lower is typically an outdoor cam and is IP66 and NEMA rated, this offers protection against dust, rain, snow, ice and corrosion and the temp range is from -4 ☏ to 122 ☏ (-20 ☌ to 50 ☌). POE is also highly recommended from experience.įixed lens or PTZ depends on your setup and what you want to do, PTZ is nice as you can 'look' almost everywhere and zoom in on areas of concern. This applies to the mount and computers as well, you can hear a failing computer fan (if you have one like on the power supply or CPU possibly) long before it fails. Being able to listen is a big plus in knowing what is going on, in just a couple runs you will know what the roof (or shutter) sounds like and if anything strange is going on with opening or closing you will know. Besides switchable IR consider a microphone. For our domes we have used Axis, Panasonic, Toshiba and Vivotek cams.
