MiniCam 0.2.0

MiniCam 0.2.0 is the stable release of the archive acceleration and diagnostics
features tested in v0.2.0-beta.1. It also introduces a dedicated MiniCam app
icon.

What's new

  • Archive playback speeds 1×, 2×, and 4× are available from the player
    toolbar.
  • Accelerated playback requests the matching RTSP Scale directly from the
    camera on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
  • A local RTSP bridge normalizes accelerated RTP timestamps and allows VLC to
    discard late frames, preventing accumulated video delay.
  • The timeline keeps the selected speed across pause, resume, archive seek, and
    event navigation.
  • Acceleration preparation messages appear over the video.
  • The diagnostics screen reports application, camera, playback, storage, and
    runtime state and can copy or save a privacy-safe report.
  • MiniCam now has its own dark graphite and chartreuse video-camera icon.

Download

Download MiniCam-0.2.0-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 98 automated tests pass.
  • Universal arm64 and x86_64 MiniCam, VLCKit, and FFmpeg binaries.
  • Native Apple Silicon playback and x86_64 playback through Rosetta.
  • 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.
  • Accelerated playback depends on RTSP Scale support in the camera firmware.
  • 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.

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