VSPlayer

VSPlayer is a Hikvision-specific surveillance playback tool, and the latest available build (version 2.1.1.0) is Intel-only with explicitly limited Apple Silicon support. The search results confirm this is not optimised for Apple Silicon chips. More importantly, a 2023 forum post reveals that Hikvision support announced plans to take the Mac version offline to work on repairs and upgrades, with a replacement version to follow at an unspecified later date — suggesting the current build may be abandoned or in transition. There is no evidence of a native Apple Silicon version having been released since that announcement. With Apple removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028), you have just over two years before the Intel-only build stops launching entirely. Contact Hikvision support directly to confirm whether a native Apple Silicon build is planned and expected by September 2028. If a native version remains unlikely, begin exploring alternative surveillance software with confirmed Apple Silicon support, such as Milestone XProtect Essential (if you use Milestone cameras), Axis Companion (for Axis cameras), or cross-platform players like VLC (which handles a broader range of video formats and runs natively on Apple Silicon), depending on your camera hardware and workflow needs.
