MiniCam 0.1.1 is a maintenance release that keeps the motion-events panel in sync with recordings available in the camera archive.

Fixed

  • Expired motion-event cards are checked against the camera archive every minute.
  • A card and its thumbnail are removed only after a successful archive response confirms that no recording covers the event time.
  • Events are retained when the camera is disconnected or an archive request fails, preventing accidental local data loss.
  • The visible event list updates immediately after confirmed cleanup.

Download

Download MiniCam-0.1.1-macos-universal.zip. The application is ad-hoc signed but not notarized. Follow the first-launch instructions in the README to approve MiniCam through macOS Privacy & Security without disabling Gatekeeper.

Use SHA256SUMS.txt to verify the downloaded archive if desired.

Verified configuration

  • All 76 automated tests pass.
  • Universal arm64 and x86_64 MiniCam, VLCKit, and FFmpeg binaries.
  • macOS Monterey 12 minimum deployment target.
  • Hikvision DS-2CD2043G2-IU, channel 1, continuous H.264 recording to microSD.

Known limitations

  • One camera and local-network access only.
  • No Apple notarization.
  • Other RTSP clients can exhaust the camera's session limit and cause error 453 Not Enough Bandwidth, black video, or a failed export.
  • Archive export may proceed close to real time.
  • Motion analysis processes only archive data created while MiniCam is running.
  • Intel Macs and Rosetta retain the legacy archive frame-scheduling path.

See the README for installation, setup, privacy information, and troubleshooting.
