ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Home Security Camera App holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security Camera App has 5.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of WiFi Control Alarm's written reviews are positive against 26% of Home Security Camera App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WiFi Control Alarm ships an update every 2 months, Home Security Camera App every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
