Security Cloud Camera also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and iOS requirement (11.3 vs 16.0).

Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Security Cloud Camera's written reviews are positive against 83% of Hidden Camera Detector's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
