Home Radar: always know what's on your Wi-Fi. An old phone reconnects while you're out. A laptop joins the office network at 2am. Something you don't recognize appears next to your TV. Home Radar tells you the moment it happens: a push alert on iPhone and Apple Watch, a morning briefing of overnight changes, and a Network DVR timeline to scrub back through. Remote Scans checks in from anywhere. IP Scanner Ultra bundles our award-winning Mac, iPhone and iPad apps together with new Apple TV, Apple Watch and Vision Pro versions - 6 apps in one. Scan your local area network to determine the identity of all machines and internet devices on the LAN. Powerful results, yet easy and intuitive to use. It’s like a level 9 detect devices spell for your network! Key features: * Home Radar push alerts: know the moment a device joins or leaves your Wi-Fi, on iPhone and Apple Watch * Network DVR: scrub back through your network's history and see exactly what changed and when * Remote Scans via iCloud: check your home network from anywhere, straight from your iPhone * Automatic vendor identification for discovered devices * Bluetooth device name detection for clearer device identity * Full IPv6 support * Extremely fast scan results * Customizable results - assign your own names and icons to discovered devices * Save and consult past scans * PING, Wake on LAN and Port Scan tools built right in * Option to open a device in browser, VNC or other applications * Save and import custom device lists, or sync via iCloud * Sort network list by device name, IP address, MAC address or Last Seen * System level notifications for newly discovered devices and changes in device state * Add custom network ranges * Import/export scan results via email or bonjour * Clean, professional design that is super easy to use Whether you’re a casual home user or a network professional, IP Scanner Ultra is all about customizing the way you view and analyze your network.

IP Scanner Ultra can be used in several primary modes such as: * A quick overview of which devices are currently on the network, including seeing which devices are actively and passively present * A “Cumulative Mode” that shows network changes over time, including options to display devices which were once present but now no longer visible.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VideoHubControl at $9.99 against IP Scanner Ultra's $39.99. VideoHubControl also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#175 vs unranked). IP Scanner Ultra's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
