All processing and storage happen locally on your device. • Auto-Discovery: Instantly find and add IP cameras on your network. • Universal Support: Connect any RTSP source (H.264, H.265, MJPEG). • Local Recording: Record continuously or on a custom schedule directly to your device. • Smart AI Detection: Real-time person, vehicle, and object recognition generate actionable alerts. • 2 Cameras Free: Monitor and record up to two cameras at no cost.

Access it seamlessly from anywhere. • Zero-Config Pairing: Connects securely using Apple's end-to-end encrypted iCloud Keychain. • Storage Server Access: View footage your Mac records to its always-on Storage Server daemon, on any internal or external disk. Connection details sync automatically over iCloud Keychain. • Full Remote Access: Watch live feeds, scrub recorded footage, and review smart AI events generated by your Mac. • Unified Experience: Enjoy the exact same fluid timeline and adaptive grids as you do locally. ADVANCED MONITORING & PLAYBACK • Live Multi-Camera Grid. • Smart Event Timelines: Alarms and detections are grouped by day. Tap any event to jump instantly to that recorded frame. • Immersive Scrubbing: Pinch-to-zoom timeline with variable-speed playback. • Quick Export: Save snapshots to Photos or trim and share video clips instantly.
