MacOS Watch my cameras from my IMAC

[Froggie69]

Hi,
Im new to this site and not very technical lol
I have a Hikvision system fitted at my business premesis.
I can view my cameras at home on my iphone but wondered if i can view them on my IMAC at home?
It would be good if i could control them aswel if possible but i am more than happy if i could see them from home and if needed i could operate them from my phone if there was an intruder.

Hi @Froggie69

What NVR and/or camera models do you have?

I use the Hik connect app on my imac

It works Okey.

Ivms4200 is useless

You have the hikconnect app on your imac? I tried to get it for my macbook pro but it said it was only for iPhone and iPad??

Just looked again, turns out you need their M1 chip or later. Is there anyway of getting a previous version or something that works on Intel based macs?

100%, but I have the M1 chip

I don't think it works on Intel macs

Thanks for confirming. That's annoying no backward support?! How bizzare.
