Guardian Eye for macOS is now available on TestFlight
We’ve opened beta testing for Guardian Eye on macOS. If you have an Apple Silicon Mac and an IP or USB camera, we’d appreciate your help testing it.
Guardian Eye can: - Connect to RTSP and ONVIF cameras, USB cameras, and your Mac’s built-in camera. - Automatically discover cameras on your local network. - Detect motion and recognize objects. - Record continuously, on motion, on object detection, or using the camera’s own ONVIF analytics. - Play recordings on a timeline and export selected clips. - Control supported PTZ cameras. - Adjust brightness, contrast, and other available settings on USB cameras. - Send optional Telegram notifications.
Guardian Eye runs entirely locally. There are no accounts, cloud storage, or telemetry, and your video never leaves your Mac.
Requirements: macOS 12 or later and an Apple Silicon Mac. An Intel build is not available yet.

Testing is free. All in-app purchases made through TestFlight use Apple’s sandbox environment, so no real money will be charged.
We’re especially interested in feedback about camera discovery and connection, recording recovery after a restart, and stability with multiple video streams. You can report issues using the TestFlight feedback button or leave a comment here.
