Periscope Pro at Mac App Store analyse

Watch your home, kids, and pets from anywhere! Simply plug in your camera, use the Mac’s built-in one, IP camera, or use your iOS device as IP camera and feature-rich Periscope Pro does the rest. Easy to use, OS X El Capitan ready, motion detection, clip uploading, and much more!

You wanted a simple-to-use, fully-featured video surveillance app for your Mac, and Periscope Pro delivers!

Periscope Pro is compatible with the Mac’s built-in camera, or countless other third-party / stand-alone IP cameras. You can monitor and/or record anything – your desk, your front door, the kid’s playroom, the baby’s room, your vacation house – anything. With features like motion detection, video/sound recording, and clip uploading, you’ll never miss a moment (or you’ll finally find out who is stealing your snacks from your desk!)

With its sophisticated motion and sound detection systems, you can set it to only record when there is something to see (this leaves fewer clips to sort through, and less storage used.) You can also record continuously if you wish. Clips are stored on your Mac for viewing and can be automatically uploaded to Dropbox so you can see what’s happening from anywhere, with any device!


By themselves, IP Cameras can be difficult to setup, but it’s fast and easy with Periscope Pro (in fact, it’s downright automatic!) Just input the camera’s address and model, and it does the rest. The setup screen preview window allows you see what’s happening as you set it up, so there’s no need to switch between screens (yes, we thought of everything!)



If you need to monitor covertly, using a USB or IP camera lets you separate the camera from your Mac (so there’s no telltale green light) and hide the camera anywhere. Sneaky, huh? 


But all of this ease of use and feature set wouldn’t be worth much if you couldn’t find and view the clips you want, right? So Periscope Pro makes it fast and easy. The integrated, one-click Clip Library has a large, full-screen expandable viewing window, complete with clip thumbnails/details in a scrollable frame on the right.



With Periscope Pro you can:
• Monitor your home office when you are away
• Watch your kids, pets or aging parents
• Monitor an office in another city, country or continent
• Check on the babysitter or nanny
• Keep an eye on your workspace, desk, papers, and your Mac
• Monitor your storage unit, boat, motorcycle, or camper

je vient de l’acheter au premier vu rien a dire, jai connecter sur le cam integrer, il n’est pas en francais et pas de notification autrement on peut utiliser le dossier dropbox pour sauvegarder sur cloud en tout cas pour le moment il est pas mal du tout a voir avec plus d’utilisation

Para ser ótimo, falta visualizar multicâmeras simultaneamente

• ★★★☆☆   GutoBrasil 7 years ago ( v 3.4.1 )

Comprei o Periscope Pro e achei o aplicativo muito bom, inicialmente, por ser mais barato que o SecuritySpy. É leve, não sobrecarrega o processador, e consegue detectar todas as minhas câmeras Foscam C1. Tem também opção de alterar o limiar de detecção de áudio e movimento. Entretanto, ainda não consegui fazer gravação apenas dos eventos, só fiz gravação contínua. Não sei se isso é uma limitação do aplicativo ou se eu ainda não aprendi a usá-lo corretamente. O maior limitante, na minha opinião, é a ausência de modo multicâmeras: só consigo visualizar uma câmera de cada vez. Para qualquer sistema de segurança doméstico, isso é uma necessidade básica, e foi esse o motivo das três estrelas. Espero que os desenvolvedores melhorem logo esses aspectos numa futura atualização.

Works most of the time.

Works often but not always. Sometimes you will get a frame freeze that will only be discovered until you stop recording. 20+ hours of a single frozen frame recorded. Also file sizes are so random. Sometimes you will get one unbroken file that is 50gb, other times you will get 100+ 5-100mb files. Can’t be trusted as a reliable security tool.

not working for Foscam FI6820 - refund requested

• ★☆☆☆☆   Pierre Mercier 7 years ago ( v 3.4 )

Looked good but wasnt able to make it work with my FI8620

incompleta

• ★☆☆☆☆   RoboRocco 7 years ago ( v 3.2.1 )

A mio parere dovrebbe essere una video sorveglianza e quindi attivabile anche col Mac in stand-by. Altrimenti la reputo inutile e il suo prezzo elevato per farsi dei selfie

Buono ma….

• ★★★★☆   Macoxygene 7 years ago ( v 3.2.1 )

Il software fa il suo lavoro, purtroppo troppi scollegamenti dalla telecamera! da rivedere la stabilità della conessione e magari aggiungere altri modelli di IP cam nel supporto.

Its OK

• ★★★★☆   pintern 7 years ago ( v 3.2.1 )

This app is pretty good. The only problem is that it makes false positives for me -- lots of saved videos where nothing really happens. However, now that old videos are automatically pruned, I dont have to look at all the generated videos unless I actually get burgled.
