AirBeam
AirBeam is a Mac video monitoring app that receives live camera and audio streams from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac devices.
What is AirBeam?
AirBeam is a native Mac photo and video app for monitoring live camera feeds from other Apple devices on the same network or through configured remote access. It helps users turn an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or another Mac into a camera source and then watch, hear, and manage that stream from a Mac. Common uses include home monitoring, baby monitoring, checking another room, and simple remote video surveillance setups. The app can discover nearby AirBeam cameras automatically, connect to multiple camera devices, and let users view recordings created by the camera device. AirBeam also supports browser-based viewing workflows and recorded media transfer in supported setups. It is published by Appologics and is intended for people who want a lightweight Apple-device-based monitoring setup without dedicated camera hardware.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
AirBeam is legitimate monitoring software, but it works by accessing cameras, microphones, local network connections, and recorded media, so its privacy impact depends on how you use it. Those permissions are normal for a video monitoring app. If you use remote access features, treat the stream like any other network camera feed and avoid sharing access with people you do not trust. Removing the app only affects its monitoring and recording workflows.
Recommendation: Keep AirBeam if you use your Mac or other Apple devices for live monitoring, remote viewing, or recording review. If you no longer use that setup, you can remove the app and any related data to free space without affecting macOS itself.
