SecuritySpy v2.0 video surveillance and recording software for Mac - unlimited camera license [SS-CAMU]

SecuritySpy from Ben Software is a professional security surveillance application for the Mac which allows you to connect a number of devices for live image monitoring, recording and playback with audio for compatible devices. This license is unlimited and does not restrict the number of cameras that can be connected simultaneously.

This is version 2.0 of the software which increases the performance of video output significantly and adds a range of new features, enhancements and compatible cameras. Remote access is enhanced too with an improved Java applet for viewing on a remote computer in a web browser. SecuritySpy supports a wide range of devices including IP cameras, webcams, analogue cameras, video servers and digital multiplexers. It will even support the Apple iSight camera built into a MacBook.
