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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: iCamViewer at none against CamHi's shown. iCamViewer also leads on rating (3.1 vs 2.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). CamHi's advantage is ratings volume (462 vs 36) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
