For now, there isn’t any official way to download APCamera on Mac. Because the camera developers haven’t yet delivered a CMS for the convenience of Mac users. So if you are willing to benefit from your live camera feeds on your Mac devices, you have the option of using an Android emulator.
One of the best emulators to emulate Android OS is BlueStacks. I have personally used this App Player and found it quite helpful in installing Android applications on my computer. So you should do the same and install this emulator. Afterward, launch the emulator and open Google Play Store on it to install APCamera App for PC.
