Wherever you are, the Philips Door Connect app allows you to receive visitor calls from your Philips Connect 3 video door phone. Be notified, answer, view and authorise access to your visitors. If the call is not answered, your videophone transmits notification of the call to the application and invites you to view the video it has recorded of your visitor in your absence. Programm and manage QRCodes and RFID badges from the Philips Door Connect application to give your loved ones access to your property in your absence, while being notified remotely of the return of your children, for example. Keep in touch with your loved ones with the emergency call function from the monitor of your Philips Connect 3, and the ability to call the monitor from the Philips Door Connect app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Shadow PC at every 6 weeks against Philips Door Connect's every 7 months. Shadow PC also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 33%) and device support (4 vs 2). Philips Door Connect's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
