Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Home Security Camera at 4.6 against Home V's 4.2. Home Security Camera also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 368). Home V's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 33%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Home Security Camera sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Home V sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Home Security Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Home Security Camera has 3.3K ratings behind it against 368, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Home Security Camera's written reviews are positive against 50% of Home V's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Home Security Camera ships an update every 2 weeks, Home V every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
