This app provides access to a specific type of surveillance camera system. The camera system must support a flavor of ISAPI and you must be on the local network with it. I wrote this app for my mom and it's available to others too. Enjoy! Love you mom!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barn at none against AntiTheft's 1. AntiTheft's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
