Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlueView HD at none against Surveillance Pro's 1. BlueView HD also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). Surveillance Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 22 months) and device support (4 vs 1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
