Preview and capture stay close together.
- 01
USB and network sources
Standard USB UVC devices, manual RTSP streams, and ONVIF-assisted discovery.
- 02
Photos and recordings

- 03
Up to four sources
Compare views side by side while keeping the session manageable.
Compatibility
Will it work with your camera?
The connection standard matters more than the camera's label. Model-specific compatibility is not guaranteed.
USB UVC
Your Mac must expose the device as a standard camera. A vendor-only driver or proprietary app may prevent access.
RTSP and ONVIF
The camera must provide a supported stream reachable from your Mac. ONVIF helps discovery; it does not imply PTZ or full camera management.
Differentiation
Focused inspection, not surveillance
ScopeDock is for deliberate preview and capture sessions.
- 01
Not an NVR
It does not replace a continuous surveillance, alerting, or camera management system.
- 02
Not a broadcast studio
It does not provide a livestream production workflow.
Privacy
Your camera media stays under your control
ScopeDock does not automatically upload videos, images, full RTSP URLs, LAN IP addresses, or media paths.
Local captures
Photos and recordings are saved on your Mac.
Separate feedback
Support messages are sent only when you choose to submit feedback. Remove private addresses and credentials first.
FAQ
Common ScopeDock questions
Connection, capture, and privacy questions.
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. It does not automatically upload videos, images, full RTSP URLs, LAN IP addresses, or media paths, and the website keeps feedback separate from anonymous usage measurement.
What cameras are supported?
The current site explains support around USB UVC devices, improved RTSP manual input, and ONVIF discovery workflows. Exact compatibility can still vary by device implementation, especially for network cameras.
Does ScopeDock support RTSP?
Yes. ScopeDock 1.1.1 continues to include the 1.1 series RTSP preview and recording improvements, including continuous video stream preview, preview resolution and frame rate choices after connection, improved RTSP recording save behavior, better thumbnails, and clearer connection, authentication, and timeout error messages. Network camera compatibility can still vary by device implementation.
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.
