CCTV software for Macs

[merry]merry - 12:41pm Jan 20, 2006 PST

For CCTV all the hardware I have found only has software for use on PCs. Does anyone know of Mac software that can read the video taken on a digital CCTV drive? Please give specifications if you know them, and/or a relevant website. I could not find any googling, but I have heard that there is such software available.

Also, I don’t know if the software has to be country-specific; if this is the case I live in the UK.

Thanks

Merry

Don't know about a CCTV drive, but I'm a happy user of SecuritySpy.

 From the web page:

* Displays and captures video from multiple cameras simultaneously
* Supports Macintosh compatible video and audio input devices
* Supports network cameras and network video servers
* Motion Detection and Timelapse capture features, with audio
* Built-in web server for viewing of images and video over a network
* Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) support for many network cameras
* Powerful real-time compression
* FTP upload feature
* Email notification feature
* Pre-capture buffer to capture video before the time of motion

Security Spy is useful for making cheap panos too:
