IP Cam 2
I downloaded this a year or so ago for my IMac and MacBook Pro. It has been setting unused because I got flustrated getting it to work - the documentations seemed too vague about specifics for me to comprehend..
Yesterday I fired it up because the Amcrest Survailance Pro application I used stopped working with macOS updates and 64bit updates they noted 4 years ago have not appeared.
This, version 7.47, popped open after a few clicks and showed all 5 Amcrest camers on my network.
I gave only 4 stars because complete camera setup is, for me, stumbling trial and error the get the exact settings I want.

The original app was wonderful. Not any more
When I updated this app a few years ago when the developer came back out from under his rock, the update corrupted the camera database and removed the in-app purchase that I had bought that allowed the viewing of unlimited cameras.
Very shady behavior by the developer.
After gingerly recreating my camera database within the app, I am now only able to have 10 cameras in view-only mode. If I add any more, it tells me to buy a license. My previous in-app purchase that gave me unlimited view-only camera is gone and there's no way to restore it to the app.

Great for a 1 cam guy
I can’t comment on its performance for more than 1 camera, but for my single Amcrest camera house, setup/auto-detect as a breeze. An excellent app and better than the half dozen clunky ones I tried prior. Also better than the app designed by the manufacturer of my Amcrest camera!
Excellent IP Cam viewer
I have tried TONS of free IP cam viewers for MacOS and this one is by far the easiest and nicest one. It works perfectly with bith my ELP and AMCrest cameras. I have a ton of cameras and it handles them all seemlessly. The other GREAT feature that is missing from almost every other app is that it lets you setup your own custom views for rows/columns to see all the cameras you want without having to have a ton of blanks if you want like 11 cameras at once but don’t want to go to a 4/4 grid. It also views the cameras in the correct aspect ratio at a nice high framerate without a lot of compression artifacts like most others have. Great all around.

Great app
This is a great app for viewing your IP cams and RTSP streams. I had an issue with the program and the devs were amazingly fast to respond to my email and fix the problem (they responded within an hour after me sending an email, and after going back a forth to pinpoint the problem, they released an update two days later).
The only thing I wish they could improve is the strain it puts on the CPU.
