Anyone know of some good apps that can be installed on my Mac to view cameras? It's impossible to log into the nvr with the mac. I'd Pay good $ for an app that worked!

I am using the Dahua SmartPSS App on my Mac's and its working fine; its got a few annoyances but overall works fine. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/download_2.html

My biggest wish wish out of the software would be hotkeys for PTZ presets/controls, if I could use my PTZ without a mouse I could react much faster... ie, next/prev preset or pressing preset key

Nayr, thx for the reply. Which exact file should I download?

Saparately, if someone developed a good app for apple computers that was decent that person could make some $.

Hi nayr,
I'm been enjoying reading your posts lauding the virtues of the Dahua IPC-HFW8232E-Z 2MP security cameras. From what I'm reading it sounds like two of them would work well for my residence. I'm seeing in the previous post that you like the [2015-01-20] DH_SmartPSS_Eng_Mac_IS_V1.11.1.R.20150114.tar software to communicate with an NVR to view the recordings on a mac. That was back in 2015. I too have a mac, os x. Do you still recommend it? Also can you please share what NVR device you use with your mac?

Thank you in advance.

Lee
