All your IP cameras in one app, side by side and live. No cloud account, no pairing, no subscription: CamViewer talks straight to your cameras over RTSP, and your footage never leaves your own network. FREE TO USE: PRO TO UNLOCK MORE Start viewing up to 4 cameras for free. Upgrade to CamViewer Pro for unlimited cameras, recording, snapshots, and all premium features. MULTI-CAMERA GRID VIEW View multiple cameras simultaneously in an adaptive grid layout. Drag and drop to reorder cameras exactly how you want them. Swipe between pages to monitor even more. Each stream is hardware-accelerated for smooth, low-latency playback. FULLSCREEN EXPERIENCE Tap any camera to go fullscreen. Pro users can record video clips, take snapshots to their photo library, and use pinch-to-zoom. A stats overlay shows resolution, bitrate, and frame rate in real time. PLAYBACK WITH A SYNOLOGY NAS Sometimes you do not want to know what is happening now, but what happened an hour ago. If you run a Synology NAS with Surveillance Station, CamViewer reads its recordings directly: pick a camera, pick a day and drag to the moment you are after. Your footage stays on your own NAS, nothing goes to a cloud. SHARP WHERE IT MATTERS Choose high or low quality per camera. Give the big tiles the full stream and the small ones a light substream, so a wall of cameras stays smooth and your network stays quiet. BUILT FOR A WALL DISPLAY Leave an iPad on the wall and let it run. The screen stays awake, and the blue buttons fade out after a delay you choose, so there is nothing to look at but your cameras. A tap or a swipe brings them back. CAMERA MANAGEMENT Add, edit, delete, and reorder your cameras with ease. Just enter your RTSP stream URL and you're live. No account creation, no device pairing, just direct connections. WORKS WITH 100+ CAMERA BRANDS CamViewer uses standard RTSP, which means it works with virtually every IP camera on the market: Hikvision, Dahua, Reolink, Amcrest, Axis, UniFi, Foscam, TP-Link, Eufy, and many more. FINDS YOUR CAMERAS FOR YOU Scan your network for ONVIF cameras, or point CamViewer at a go2rtc server and pick the streams you want in one step. The scan asks each camera for a working stream instead of guessing, and tells you plainly when a username, password or path is wrong. IMPORT & EXPORT Back up your entire camera configuration to a .camview file. Restore it on another device or share it with family members. Setting up a new phone takes seconds, not hours. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your camera feeds go straight from your cameras to your device, within your local network or VPN. To improve the app, CamViewer sends usage statistics without your name or account, such as which features are used, the app version, device model, iOS version and language setting. Your camera images, camera passwords and stream addresses are never sent to us.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ECVISION at none against CamViewer's 1. ECVISION also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
