With the 1000eyes app, you always have your construction site in view. The app gives you mobile access to all cameras we have installed for you. Track construction progress from anywhere – at the office, on the go or from home. The app offers three key features: Live View: See in real time what is happening on your construction site. Switch between multiple cameras and check the current status with just a few taps. Archive: Access past recordings. Document the construction process seamlessly and retrieve specific points in time. Time-lapse: View construction progress as a time-lapse. Make developments over days, weeks or months visible at a glance. All data is processed in accordance with current data protection and data security standards. Your recordings are transmitted in encrypted form and are protected against unauthorised access on servers in German data centres. The 1000eyes app is designed for construction companies, project developers, architects and anyone who wants to keep a reliable eye on their construction site. Requirements for use: 1. A construction site camera supplied by 1000eyes. 2. Your personal 1000eyes client access credentials. There are no public access credentials.
Swiftcam

Live home-camera viewing, without the lag. Swiftcam is a fast, privacy-focused viewer for self-hosted camera systems. Connect to Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, or another WHEP-compatible server and get to your live feeds with minimal delay. Open your camera grid quickly, jump into a stream in one tap, and see what is happening close to real time. Swiftcam is designed around speed: less waiting, less friction, and a more responsive view of your home cameras. Extensive view transforms help you make unusual camera feeds usable, including oddly sized, rotated, mirrored, or imperfectly framed streams. Keep a stream playing in Picture in Picture while you use other apps, so you can stay aware without staying in the app. Swiftcam requires an existing self-hosted Frigate NVR, go2rtc, MediaMTX, direct JPEG/HTTP snapshot source, or compatible WHEP server installation.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 1000eyes at none against Swiftcam's 2. 1000eyes also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Swiftcam's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
