Paul,
I checked out Security Spy. It proved expensive and _way_ too user-unfriendly. My issue with IP cams and app based viewing is the fact that most of the cams seem like garbage, aren't Mac friendly and the software in general is awful. I'd love for a company to make an IP cam with solid specs that is Mac and iOS friendly out of the box and includes user-friendly but capable software. So far, nobody has anything on the market that hits my criteria.
At this point, I'm much happier with the Swann surveillance system that we bought for my office. Can view the cams on a Mac via software. Can view the cams on an iPhone via an app. Can connect a display to the actual Swann box and view and modify its settings. Storage is HDD based in the box. The only problem is the box is big and must be hardwired to the network. Same goes for the cams. But, there are wireless options in a complete or expandable systems.
