Both are free to download. IP Camera Viewer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Home Security Camera App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Home Security Camera App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 1.2K and 4.7K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of IP Camera Viewer's written reviews are positive against 27% of Home Security Camera App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IP Camera Viewer ships an update fortnightly, Home Security Camera App every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
