Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CyShield at none against Car Camera DVR's 4. CyShield also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). Car Camera DVR's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price there is nothing between them.
