IC Now: Overview (Mac) – ICRealtime

IC Now is IC Realtime's newest Mac desktop viewing software. The software was developed based on current-generation hardware. Mileage may vary for legacy machines.

Device/ Channel Number Limitations
The IC Now software is designed with a limitation of 64 live (online) channels. This is based on the occupied channels of a recorder (ie, if the NVR is a 32-channel with only 15 cameras, it counts only the 15 cameras).

OS Support
The IC Now software is currently designed to work with a minimum MacOS version of OS 11
and supports all APPLE chipset, like M1, M2 (The software does support Intel chipsets).

3rd Party & Specialty Cameras Notice
The software has known limitations for 3rd party cameras and some specialty cameras. Due to not supporting ICR’s standard snapshot protocol, the software will not load a thumbnail for the device list view. For the device snapshots, you will need to use IC Realtime cameras.
