Mac or Windows (Security Spy vs Blue Iris)

Why isn't Blue Iris compatible with Mac?

A lot of extra coding and debug work?
Having compared BI and SS there is little need that I know of for BI on mac unless it's purely to save some $$'s but knowing what I do now I'd not consider the savings worth it. SS is a more stable and robust platform in my experience and well worth the cost.

Except for a few open source projects, you kind of get what you pay for. SS is more stable, reliable and capable than BI. For us and many others it's worth the money. Some have a higher tolerance for glitches and problems though.

OTOH, we use a lot of UI. Cisco is more stable, reliable and capable but for us it's not worth the money except for a few specific instances.

Anyone still using Security Spy in 2026?

I was up until late last year before moving to another country. Will definitely use it again once the house in the province is built. I have not kept up to speed this year on any of its development so when I do it's going to be quite exiting for me.... hopefully. (I still have the Mac mini stored away to use it for SS in the future).
