iCameraPlus vs Vigil

Turn the spare iPhone in your drawer into a 24/7 security camera — and watch it from your everyday iPhone. iCameraPlus records non-stop on a dedicated phone and uploads every clip to your private cloud archive, so your footage stays safe even if the camera phone is taken or damaged. Watch live, browse the archive and control your cameras with the iCameraPlus app in Viewer mode or from any web browser. HOW 24/7 WORKS ON IPHONE iOS does not let apps record video in the background, so the camera iPhone stays on its charger with iCameraPlus open on screen. Protected Mode — Apple's built-in Guided Access, set up in about a minute with our step-by-step guide — keeps the app on screen 24/7 and disables the side button. If recording stops (for example, the app was closed), iCameraPlus tells you and resumes recording when it is opened again. CAMERA MODE — the phone that records • Continuous loop recording in 480p, 720p or 1080p at 30 fps, with the camera name, date and time on every frame. • Automatic upload to your private cloud over HTTPS. Uploads resume after Wi-Fi drops, and recording continues without internet — clips upload when the connection returns. • Smart recording adjusts quality and clip length when uploads slow down, the phone gets hot or storage runs low. • Sound is off by default; turn it on only where recording audio is legal. • Guided setup: account, permissions, camera name, a 24/7 checklist and a test recording. VIEWER MODE (NEW) — your everyday iPhone • All your cameras with status, battery, connection and alerts. • Watch live with one tap. • Start or stop recording and change camera, quality, clip length, brightness, rotation, touch lock, sound and upload network remotely. • Open the recordings archive: timeline, previews, playback and download. A viewer phone never records and never asks for camera or microphone access. WEB PANEL Everything above from any browser at icameraplus.com, plus device details and charts. PLANS • 7-day free trial with your account — no card needed, and it never turns into a paid plan by itself. • Yearly plans for 2, 4, 6 or 8 cameras: 99.99 / 175.99 / 244.99 / 319.99 USD per year (prices vary by country; the app shows your local price before you buy). • Each camera keeps its last 10 days of recordings. Days are pooled across your plan: with fewer active cameras, each keeps more (an 8-camera plan with one camera keeps 80 days). Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; renewal is charged within 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. PRIVACY Your recordings are stored in your own private account and are visible only to you. iCameraPlus is meant for monitoring your own property: respect other people's privacy and local laws, and never record in private areas such as bathrooms or bedrooms.

Vigil is a camera built for moments when protecting a recording matters. Start recording quickly with the rear camera, front camera, or—on supported iPhones—both cameras at once. Every completed recording is automatically stored in Vigil Vault, protected by Face ID or your iPhone passcode. Choose where additional copies are saved: • Photos • A private Vigil folder in your Google Drive • iCloud Drive, accessible from your other Apple devices Vigil also includes: • Screen Curtain for a discreet, dimmed recording view while keeping recording indicators and controls available • Action Button and Shortcuts support for faster access • A configurable SOS button that hands your chosen number to the iPhone calling interface • Sharing with an optional Vigil overlay, timestamp, and recording details Cloud copies begin after a recording is completed. Availability and upload time depend on your connection and cloud-provider settings. Vigil is not an emergency service and does not guarantee recovery, authenticity, or admissibility. Always follow local recording and privacy laws.
