AVY Mobile One is our newly designed mobile application for all your video surveillance needs. It is compatible with our latest Diversity Series NVRs, Hybrid DVRs, and IP Cameras*, which can operate as standalone devices without a need for an NVR. We strive to make our user interface as intuitive as possible to ensure the best experience. Navigate our menu effortlessly and view your cameras live, or freely play back saved recordings. With our AI-capable recorders and cameras, you can now filter video events through features such as motion detection, facial recognition, people/vehicle detection and license plate reading. Reviewing push notifications is now streamlined as notifications are divided into three categories: Event, AI, and Abnormal. With these options, there is no need to review countless motion events when our software provides the analytics to detect relevant results. The built-in file list system helps users view or playback archived footage to save on their mobile devices. Our file manager comes with an integrated search engine to provide fast results based on dates and device names.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Central Access at 5.0 against AVYCON ONE's 2.7. Central Access also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). AVYCON ONE's advantage is ratings volume (61 vs 5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
