Note: This app uses a data stream that will connect to your Swann system via 4G/5G or Wi-Fi. When using 4G/5G, the video from your Swann device may be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and could contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have. If you exceed any plan limits you may incur additional usage charges. Consult with your mobile service provider regarding the use of a video streaming app and how it may affect your plan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QrVelars at none against Swann Security's 11. QrVelars also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Swann Security's advantage is ratings volume (81K vs 2) and chart position (#129 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
