VigilCam vs Vigil

VigilCam turns any iPhone into a dedicated security camera. Record continuous HD footage directly to your device, iCloud Drive, or Firebase — with automatic clip rotation, motion detection, and instant email alerts when movement is detected while you're away. Key features • Continuous recording with configurable clip length (1–60 min) • Motion detection with push notifications and email alerts • On-device, iCloud Drive, or Firebase cloud storage • Live P2P video stream to a second iPhone over Wi-Fi • Browse, review, and delete recordings by date and device • Runs in the background — keep recording with the screen off • No subscription, no account required for on-device storage

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.
