Question

Can I use the AirSight on a Mac?

Answer

Yes. Go here if you have an AirSight (XX34A), AirSight Outdoor (XX36A), AirSight PTZ (XX40A), AirSight WideEye (XX41A), or AirSight WideEye Outdoor (XX42A).


  • Download: IPCameraTool-mac.zip
  • Right-click on the detected camera address to open it in Safari.


An easy way to install and configure your AirSight HD and AirSight SD Camera's (XX39A & XX59A) using an Apple Mac is to use IP Scanner 2.5. IP Scanner is a free tool by an independent publisher.


You can download it for free from this location: IP Scanner


  • Install the program
  • Run the program and it automatically displays all the network ip devices running including the AirSight Camera. The AirSight will be listed as “unidentified hidden device”.
  • Copy down the AirSight`s IP address, then open Safari. Type in the IP address and hit Enter.


For iOS, there is a similar app, CamScan, which identifies cameras and lets you open them directly in Safari.
