Use this App to monitor your IP cams directly. Bypassing thus all proprietary clouds. It was designed to be made simple, proposing only one protocol (who wants to make choices between HTTP, RTSP, TCP, UDP, ... ?), and the minimal required options. So no bells and whistles that bring confusion. Yet some innovative options are proposed to help users with dynamical public IP address. High/standard definition channels can be selected automatically as well. The counterpart is these limitations: _ the App only supports RTSP (TCP) protocol, which most IP cams support _ the App only supports h264, not MJPEG, not h265, which is once again supported by most IP cams _ you need to open and re-direct ports on your IP box (router) to your IP cam And it's free ! So, give it a try. Any feedback is welcome by mail, as proposed top right of the FaceBook page, or directly on this FB page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Lite at 3.1 against RTSPmyCam's 1.0. IP Camera Lite also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 26 months). RTSPmyCam's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 51%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RTSPmyCam sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. IP Camera Lite asks for nothing beyond the download.
IP Camera Lite holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Lite has 36 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of IP Camera Lite's written reviews are positive against 67% of RTSPmyCam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IP Camera Lite ships an update fortnightly, RTSPmyCam every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
