iCamViewer is an IP camera viewer mobile app for phone and tablet devices. The app allows users to view live video from network IP cameras, CCTV cameras (when used with a supported network video server), and some surveillance DVRs. Users can watch security cameras on the same local area network where their camera is located and also view remotely over the Internet when port forwarding is properly setup. CCTV Camera Pros developed this free IP cam application to support as many devices and cameras as possible.

Cameras is an app for a clear presentation of several WLan cameras. Tap on a camera to enlarge it. Any number of cameras can be configured and displayed via URL. In addition, it is always possible to save a screenshot of the overview or the currently enlarged camera in the photo library of the device in a separate album. The target audience for my app are people who have one or more WLAN cameras that can be accessed through the network stream. There is no server on which any camera images are uploaded. The displayed images are live streamed by the cameras. It is possible to take screenshots of all displayed images or the selected image. These screenshots are stored in the Photo Library of the iOS device in a separate album after the user has confirmed the access. Fees are only for the network connection itself - WLAN is usually free, otherwise charges for data transmission over the mobile network. The user can configure the livestreams via "Edit" to his desired cameras. For example, some livestreams are configured for public cameras. However, only basic authentication of access to the cameras via the URL is supported, as long as the camera supports it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Cameras at 9.0 against iCamViewer's 14.0. On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
