Cam View
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cam View puts every camera you own on one screen. It speaks the protocols cameras actually use — RTSP over TCP, ONVIF, MJPEG, and plain snapshot polling — so it works with the camera you already have rather than the one a manufacturer would prefer you bought. FINDS YOUR CAMERAS Scan your network and Cam View asks each device what it is. It reads the web server banner, the login prompt and the ONVIF description, then ranks the ways in and tells you what the evidence was. Cameras that speak ONVIF report their own stream addresses, so there is nothing to look up. KNOWS THE BRANDS 34 makes are built in, with the stream paths each one uses. Pick your make and the address fills itself in. Unfamiliar firmware is identified on device by Apple Intelligence, where it is available. BUILT FOR WATCHING One to four cameras across. Tap any camera for full screen with the numbers that tell you whether it is healthy: codec, resolution, frame rate, bitrate. Drag to reorder. Turn the names and stats off for a clean wall. Snapshots save to Photos. ON EVERY DEVICE Your camera list syncs through iCloud. Save it from one device and load it on the next, so you decide when your wall changes and a stray edit on the iPad never lands on the iPhone unasked. Passwords never become iCloud records — they stay in the keychain, and travel through iCloud Keychain only if you ask. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN A widget shows the latest picture from the cameras you choose. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Cam View talks to your cameras and nothing else. No account. No analytics. No video leaves your network. Passwords are kept in the iOS keychain, never in a file you could accidentally share. Cam View needs a camera that provides an RTSP, ONVIF, MJPEG or snapshot stream on your local network. Some cameras ship with RTSP turned off — check your camera's app if a stream will not connect. CAM VIEW PRO Every feature is included in all three plans, and each one starts with a seven-day free trial: • Monthly — £0.99 per month • Yearly — £4.99 per year • Lifetime — £9.99 once, not a subscription Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. Manage or cancel your subscription in Settings, under your name, then Subscriptions. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Prices are in pounds sterling and may vary by territory. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://www.indyinc.co.uk/privacy/

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: SecureCamera at 16 against Cam View's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
