NDI Video Monitor
NDI Video Monitor is a macOS video monitoring tool for viewing, recording, and controlling NDI network video sources in real time.
What is NDI Video Monitor?
NDI Video Monitor is a macOS app for monitoring video and audio sources delivered over an NDI network. It helps broadcasters, production teams, AV staff, educators, and other NDI users preview live feeds, check signal availability, and manage multi-source viewing from a Mac. The app can display available NDI channels in real time, open multiple instances for monitoring workflows, and support layouts used for production displays or signage. It also includes recording support, low-bandwidth viewing options, and remote PTZ camera control for compatible sources. In addition, the app can be controlled through a local web-based interface, which is useful when the Mac is acting as a monitoring endpoint on the same network. NDI Video Monitor is part of the broader NDI Tools package for Mac from NewTek, Inc.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
This app is legitimate professional video software used to receive and monitor NDI streams on a local network. Network access is normal for its purpose, and features such as remote control, source discovery, recording, and PTZ operation are expected in broadcast and AV workflows. If you use recording or connect to shared production networks, be mindful of what sources are visible and where recordings are saved. Keep it installed if you actively use NDI-based video tools.
Recommendation: Keep NDI Video Monitor if you use NDI for live production, streaming, AV routing, or monitoring on your Mac. If you no longer work with NDI sources, you can remove it without affecting macOS itself, though it may also make sense to remove the rest of the NDI Tools package at the same time.
