Verdict

The call

IP116 Camera also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.5 vs 3.3). 360 Smart Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (363 vs 2). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IP116 Camera holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 360 Smart Camera has 363 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of 360 Smart Camera's written reviews are positive against 20% of IP116 Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

360 Smart Camera ships an update every 6 weeks, IP116 Camera every 9 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
