Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: APE at none against Home Security Camera's 3. APE also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Home Security Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
