MacOS Mac CCTV Software to record H.264 from the Sanyo VCC-HD4000?

[aircub]

Is there any MAC software that I can use to view the H264 recordings..?

 

[Phil]

Security Spy is THE CCTV recording software for Apple Macs and IP Cameras.

We will be adding this to the range of cctv recording software in our webshop shortly

Unfortunately, the Sanyo VCC-HD4000 isn't on the approved camera list yet, nor will it handle h.264 video compression at the moment.

I will contact them for an update.

OK, what about the JPEG format, does SecuritySpy see that.?

 

[Phil]

Security Spy software handles JPEG, but Sanyo HD4000 camera is not yet on their approved camera list - I'm waiting for a response from them.

I have a copy of Securityspy and I see that it is used for viewing live feeds, my main question still is what software can I use on my Mac to look at movies recored on the external hard drive.

 

[Phil]

Have you used the Viewer utility that comes on the CD with the camera?

 

[aircub]

As I said before I have a MAC and so the software supplied being Windows only is not useable.

I only bought this camera because it supported H264, it is a shame that Sanyo in their wisdom decided to deviate from the H264 standard

 

[Phil]

Sorry about that, we'll try to get a solution from Sanyo.

Any Update on MAc Software.?

 

[Phil]

Hi aircub,
I spoke to Sanyo about this about ten days ago, but nothing further has come through since. Will chase again now ...

 

[aircub]

I see that Securityspy has a manual setup page for unsupported cameras

Any ideas of the settings.?

 

[Phil]

I will find out and get back to you.

 

[Phil]

Just a quick update, we've managed to link up the software gurus at Security Spy with the technical gurus for the Sanyo IP camera range in Japan.

There's an ongoing conversation that I don't understand but it's showing good signs of progress - hopefully we'll be able to report a breakthrough soon ...

 

[aircub]

Great any update.....Its such a shame that the top of the range Sanyo camera is so poorly supported.

 

[Phil]

Hi aircub, I will poke again!

Any update...?? great camera crap support from Sanyo
