GlanceCam - IP camera viewer

A Mac viewer for direct IP camera streams, with optional multi-camera grids and automation.

Our take

Good for technically comfortable owners of cameras exposing supported stream URLs.

It combines different brands in desktop windows and can trigger configured HTTP actions.

Keep in mind: No recording, NVR/DVR playback, proprietary cloud service, PTZ or motion alerts. RTSPs is unsupported; verify protocol, credentials and reachability before buying.
