Description

Get access to Sighthound Video remotely. Sighthound Video software has been trained to simulate the human brain’s recognition abilities. It doesn’t just detect motion like most other security software - it detects and tracks people. With this app you can view your cameras remotely, be alerted to people who have triggered rules you set, and search through clips of camera activity. You must have installed Sighthound Video on a computer connected to your IP cameras before using this app. Get the software at the Sighthound website if you haven’t already. You’ll soon see that the software’s ability to detect and differentiate humans from animals or other objects greatly reduces the number of false positives and unnecessary alerts sent to users, which can make even the most modern security cameras unusable.
Sighthound is the first video security software to work seamlessly on computers, iPads, and iPhones. After installing the software on your computer, it finds most cameras automatically, and you are using the desktop software in seconds. With the Sighthound Video iPhone app, users can benefit from the intelligence of Sighthound away from the home or office.

Ratings and Reviews
Poor support and overpriced
Back in 2017, Sighthound was is a good choice for setting up your own IP camera security on a Mac. The AI-based image recognition is impressive. However after several years of inadequate software updates and poor support, i’ve abandoned it in favor of other similar apps like SecuritySpy, which offer similar features but is much less expensive and seems to be much better supported as a software product. Reliability is particularly important for IP cam software - I don’t think the Sighthound folks understand this - they are more interested in fancy AI vs reliably triggering and recording events without glitches or gaps.
Breaking backward compatibility (v1.6) -- No live view, and video clip playback crashes app (v1.1)
Sighthound v1.6:
This version is requiring having version 4.0 of the Sighthound software, else you will have locked yourself out of using Sighthound if you upgrade your device. This is really bad, since iOS doesn't let you rollback to a prior version (backing up / restoring your device is the only way you use it).
If you don't have 4.0 yet (I don't, my Sighthound 2.5 is working fine and I do not want to take it offline). So anyone in this situation is out of luck.
Sighthound you really should be a bit more generous on backward compatibility. This is highly frustrating. Now no new devices will be able to be used as long as I have an older version of Sighthound.
Locking out existing customers is irresponsible. Come on, Sighthound, this isn't fair.

Sighthound v1.1:
After upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.1, I can no longer view cameras live once I select one from the thumbnail view. Thumbnail view does work. Clicking on the camera just spins indefinitely and never connects.
Viewing any recorded clip crashes the app. Displays the loading clip message, and then poof!!!
All worked well for me in v1.0 and v1.0.1. Serious regression.
My server is Sighthound Pro Edition, v2.5.
I'm on iOS 6.1.4 with iPhone 5. I have an email into Sighthound support, hopefully they can resolve this issue promptly.
Awesome
I installed it on my iPhone and iPad and updated the server version to 7.0.12 on y Mac-mini. What a difference it made ! The speed is increased 10 fold and stability appears perfect so far.
