HIP2PClient
HIP2PClient is a video surveillance and remote monitoring application developed by HiChip that allows users to view live feeds and recordings from IP cameras and surveillance systems on their Mac. The app connects to HiChip-branded cameras and NVR/DVR systems, providing remote access to video streams, playback capabilities, and basic system management from a Mac computer. It's primarily used by home and small business owners who need to monitor security cameras remotely without relying solely on mobile apps or web interfaces. The application supports multiple camera connections and provides features like live viewing, video playback, and system status monitoring.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionNo native Apple Silicon version of HIP2PClient has been released. The app appears to be abandonware — HiChip has not released significant updates in years, and there is no indication of active development or plans for an Apple Silicon-native build. Since Rosetta 2 support will eventually end, users relying on HIP2PClient should consider native alternatives. If you own HiChip cameras, check whether HiChip offers a web interface or native mobile apps for your system, as these may provide similar functionality. For a more future-proof solution, consider switching to surveillance systems with native Mac apps (such as systems compatible with HomeKit Secure Video, or third-party apps like SecuritySpy or Cam for HomeKit) that offer better long-term macOS support and native Apple Silicon compatibility.
