Yes, I use it on my MacBook Pro, as I VPN to my home network and view remotely. Yes there are some for remote viewing, but not control such as recording, storage and other features. The biggest problem with a Mac Mini, aside from it's lack of power, is what security software. I'd put that equipment in a secure room or customized safe room that isn't accessible by anyone except for yourself. I wouldn't put this equipment in someone's apartment. If your not into a do it yourself installation I'd opt for a professional alarm company to install those cameras along with the DVR and any internet capabilities you require. Overlapping coverage would help to counteract such destruction. But, your shady neighbors won't be above shooting them out either. You'd better secure those cameras, shield them, and locate them where it would be nearly impossible to reach by thieves. Not that it couldn't be done with a Mac but I'd sure just invest in a dedicated DVR system that can be accessed with the Mac.Īnd, if you ever hope to utilize your security cameras as a crime fighting tool then you need to opt for the highest resolution color camera of 1920/1080 at least with low lux capability.

But, the Mac mini is a very competent home computer that will allow you to build a nice little workstation at home for a lot less money. Now, no monitor is going to make your Mac faster or perform better, so if you need the power that an M1 Max or M1 Ultra chip (or the better RAM and storage) packs, then you'll need to pay the premium price tag. Heck, you could probably buy two monitors that are a little cheaper and still end up under that $1,999 price point. It's important to consider that you can buy the top-end model Mac mini, with 16GB of RAM, at least 512GB of storage, and one of the best Mac mini monitors for less than the starting price of just the Mac Studio itself.
