Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: IP Camera Viewer at free with in-app purchases against Security Home's subscription. IP Camera Viewer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (39% vs 19%). Security Home's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (11K vs 1.2K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. IP Camera Viewer sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Security Home sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Security Home holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Security Home has 11K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of IP Camera Viewer's written reviews are positive against 19% of Security Home'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, Security Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
