MacOS High Sierra
Whenever the screen lock cuts in on my Mac Mini now I have upgraded the OS I can no longer connect to the security spy screens from my iPhone. I also have disk encryption enabled.
Now I've got to disable the screen time out password.
Not good.

Could you please clarify - is this the "Require password" setting in the "Security & Privacy" system preference?
Or is it simply display sleep, which is configured in the "Energy Saver" system preference?
Any further information you can supply would be very helpful.
Can everyone check if the Mac is actually going to sleep? Many Macs have a Sleep Indicator Light - if the Mac is sleeping, this will pulse on/off slowly. Does anyone see this?
Also, make sure the "Allow automatic computer sleep" option is disabled in SecuritySpy under Preferences -> General.
This is proving to be a difficult problem to track down and fix. I am able to reproduce it here, but only inconsistently, which is making debugging very difficult.
Please can you all try running SecuritySpy in the following two conditions (please try one at a time):
1. Make sure ALL of SecuritySpy's video windows are closed.
2. Open Terminal (you'll find it in /Applications/Utilities/), enter the following, press return, and leave the Terminal window open: pmset noidle
Do either of these prevent the problem from appearing?

Meanwhile, we have implemented a workaround in SecuritySpy that should prevent the problem from occurring. Please download and install the latest beta version of SecuritySpy (currently 4.1.8b3), and please report back after running this for a day or two.
The bug is still present in macOS High Sierra, and will need to be fixed by Apple in a subsequent update, but I believe we have implemented an effective workaround that should prevent this problem from occurring.
