I am not running Blue Iris and only need to access the cameras via Mac iOS.
First a question. Do most, if not all camera manufacturer/var apps require going through their servers/cloud to access the cameras?
I found one app that mentioned that they support many cameras - IP Cam Viewer Pro. And that the app points directly to the camera and bypasses the manufacturers site by storing all data on the phone.
Any thoughts on good apps similar to this for a Mac that you like?
Is this a slower method of connecting to cameras?
Is this the safest way to manage cameras?
Because of the latest issues with firmware access and DDOS attacks, has there been a list of cameras that are relatively safer than others, or do all cameras have the same potential (assuming appropriate safe use of discrete passwords and normal protected home network with up to date router firmware and hardware)
thank you for this forum and for the help!
