Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Zmodo at none against WallPixel HD's shown. Zmodo also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.8K vs 172). WallPixel HD's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
