Quick answer
Download only after a fit check
Use this page to confirm whether ScopeDock fits your platform, camera type, and workflow before you download.
Fit check
Practical checks before you download
These points help you decide whether ScopeDock fits before you install.
Connectivity
USB UVC, RTSP, ONVIF, and up to four sources.
These are the compatibility anchors users need before they spend time on setup.
Before you install
Check permissions, storage, and local network reachability.
Those factors matter most when the workflow includes RTSP, ONVIF, or local recording.
Current boundary
ScopeDock is a lightweight inspection tool, not a surveillance suite.
Known limits are presented directly so the download page stays honest.
Platform
Platform status
This page shows where ScopeDock is available today and where support has not launched yet.
macOS
Current released platform with download guidance, permissions notes, and compatibility details.
Windows
Not available yet. Check the blog and support pages for future rollout notes.
Linux
Not available yet. Compatibility and packaging details will be published when support is ready.

This table gives a more literal compatibility snapshot for readers who want facts faster than marketing language.
| Platform | Status | Details | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS | Available on the Mac App Store | Current public release target with local camera permissions and file access workflows documented. | Primary production release path. |
| Windows | Planned | Not yet available. Public download should only appear when the build and support story are ready. | Coming later. |
| Linux | Planned | Not yet available. Compatibility details will be published when support is ready. | Coming later. |
Before download
Before you install
These are the checks a practical user should make before starting a real setup.
Check 1
Confirm the platform scope
ScopeDock is available on macOS through the Mac App Store. Windows and Linux are not available yet.
Check 2
Match the camera path
Decide whether your workflow is USB UVC, RTSP manual input, ONVIF discovery, or a lightweight multi-source mix.
Check 3
Plan permissions and storage
Camera access, local storage, and network reachability all matter when the workflow becomes real.
Check 4
Know your next help stop
If your setup is uncertain, move to Support or Contact before assuming the app should fit every device variation.
Protocols
Connectivity support
Protocol and source support belongs on the download page because it helps people judge fit before setup.
USB UVC
Compatible USB camera devices and many USB microscopes can enter the workflow through a UVC path.
RTSP
Manual RTSP input supports network camera workflows that need local viewing and capture.
ONVIF discovery
Device discovery helps speed up setup when the network camera environment exposes ONVIF services.
Multi-source layout
The current product direction supports up to four sources in a lightweight workspace.
Reference
Protocol and source reference
This table is meant to be easy to scan, quote, and compare during evaluation.
| Capability | What it covers | When it matters |
|---|---|---|
| USB UVC | Compatible USB camera devices and many USB microscopes can enter the workflow through a UVC path. | Best fit when your camera behaves like a standard local USB path. |
| RTSP | Manual RTSP input supports network camera workflows that need local viewing and capture. | Best fit when you need local access to an IP camera without adopting a surveillance suite. |
| ONVIF discovery | Device discovery helps speed up setup when the network camera environment exposes ONVIF services. | Useful when discovery support exists and you want setup to feel lighter. |
| Multi-source layout | The current product direction supports up to four sources in a lightweight workspace. | Supports lightweight side-by-side source review without turning the UI into a dense wall. |
Compatibility
What ScopeDock currently supports
Users should be able to decide quickly whether the app fits their device and workflow before spending time on setup.
USB UVC
Plug in compatible USB microscopes and camera devices that expose a UVC interface.
RTSP input
Add manual RTSP sources when your workflow depends on IP cameras or networked inspection devices.
ONVIF discovery
Use ONVIF device discovery to speed up camera onboarding where discovery support is available.
Up to four sources
The current product direction supports lightweight multi-source layouts rather than large surveillance grids.
If setup is unclear
If the first evaluation goes wrong
The download page should still point users toward the right diagnosis path when a setup is not immediately clear.
Device not detected
Re-check whether the camera exposes a USB UVC path and whether macOS permissions were granted correctly.
RTSP or ONVIF issues
Confirm local network reachability, standards support, and whether your device behaves like the common happy path described on the site.
File or storage confusion
Review local storage assumptions and then move into Support if file handling or capture expectations still feel unclear.
Product screenshots
Use real setup screens during the download decision
These screenshots make the download page more concrete by showing the actual workbench, permissions flow, and setup path before installation.

Source setup screenshot
This onboarding capture shows how sources are actually added, which makes the download page more useful before installation.
Setup guides
Read these before or during setup
These guides answer the most common pre-download and early-evaluation questions.
How ONVIF discovery differs from manual RTSP in ScopeDock
ONVIF discovery and manual RTSP solve different setup problems. ONVIF can make camera onboarding lighter, while RTSP is the direct path when you already know the stream endpoint.
How to troubleshoot camera permissions on macOS for ScopeDock
If a camera is not showing up in ScopeDock on macOS, the first checks are usually permissions, source type, and whether the device behaves like a standard local camera path.
What to check before downloading ScopeDock on macOS
Before downloading ScopeDock on macOS, check platform scope, source type, permissions, storage expectations, and whether your workflow matches a lightweight local-first inspection tool.
Requirements
System requirements
- Grant camera permission when macOS prompts for device access.
- Keep enough local storage for snapshots, recordings, and saved session files.
- Make sure RTSP and ONVIF devices are reachable from the same local network when relevant.
- Use standards-based or common-compatible camera endpoints for the best chance of a smooth first evaluation.
Known limits
Current boundaries
- ScopeDock is not positioned as a large surveillance wall or enterprise monitoring suite.
- Only macOS is currently available.
- Compatibility varies by device implementation, especially on network camera workflows.
FAQ
Common download and compatibility questions
These answers handle the questions users most often ask before or during a first installation attempt.
Does ScopeDock upload my video by default?
No default cloud upload flow is part of the product positioning. ScopeDock is presented as a local-first tool, and the website keeps that boundary clear in both product and support copy.
What cameras are supported?
The current site explains support around USB UVC devices, RTSP manual input, and ONVIF discovery workflows. Exact compatibility can still vary by device implementation, especially for network cameras.
Does ScopeDock support RTSP?
Yes. The current first-stage product messaging includes RTSP manual input as one of the core connectivity paths for lightweight inspection workflows.
How many sources can I connect at once?
The website currently describes ScopeDock as supporting up to four sources in a lightweight multi-source layout. That limit is part of keeping the product focused on practical inspection work rather than dense surveillance-style grids.
Is ScopeDock available on Windows?
Not yet. ScopeDock is currently available on macOS, and Windows availability will be published when it is ready.
