Periscope also contains a trending feature that will show you what broadcasts are currently doing well in the rankings. It’s convenient to use and you will be able to start streaming yourself within a minute after a few easy button presses.
You can try out Periscope for free by checking out the download link here. But this is still enough time for many people to get caught up if they’re only a couple of minutes or hours late. There’s still a time limit on viewing the videos, generally by midnight of the day of broadcasting. Meerkat broadcasts can only be seen as they are on the air, so to speak. Another big difference is that Periscope videos can be continued to be viewed after the live session ends. This means that more of your followers use it and you have greater potential to reach a larger audience. For one, this newer app is already more popular.
The integrated, one-click Clip Library has a large, full-screen expandable viewing window, complete with clip thumbnails/details in a scrollable frame on the right.
Periscope Pro plays nice with IP Cameras from the following vendors:Īnd we are working hard to make this list even bigger!īut all of this ease of use and feature set wouldn’t be worth much if you couldn’t find and view the clips you want, right? The setup screen preview window allows you see what’s happening as you set it up, so there’s no need to switch between screens (yes, we thought of everything!) With its sophisticated motion and sound detection systems, you can set it to only record when there is something to see (this leaves fewer clips to sort through, and less storage used.) You can also record continuously if you wish.Ĭlips are stored on your Mac for viewing and can be automatically upload to Dropbox so you can see what’s happening from anywhere, with any device!īy themselves, IP Cameras can be difficult to setup, but it’s fast and easy with Periscope Pro (in fact, it’s downright automatic!) Just input the camera’s address and model, and it does the rest. If you need to monitor covertly, using a USB or IP camera lets you separate the camera from your Mac (so there’s no telltale green light) and hide the camera anywhere. With features like motion detection, video/sound recording, and clip uploading, you’ll never miss a moment (or you’ll finally find out who is stealing your snacks from your desk!) You can monitor and/or record anything – your desk, your front door, the kid’s playroom, the baby’s room, your vacation house – anything. Periscope Pro is compatible with the Mac’s built-in camera, or countless other third-party/stand-alone IP cameras. You wanted a simple-to-use, fully-featured video surveillance app for your Mac, and Periscope Pro delivers! Video Review
