Cawice: Security Camera
Nice and simple camera if you’re not interested in paying any subscription and just need a simple, but private one camera to work properly setup. No HD quality with the free version, but can do the job.

Security Camera CZ
Loads of features and most importantly all features included in the free version, and if you want to support or commit to it, just subscribe to remove the ads, it also seems to be the cheapest of them all.

Pros:
- Siren feature
- Other standard features like toggling flash, screen orientation.
- Motion detection (untested)
- Quick record function.
Cons:
- Viewer app slightly convoluted, clicking on a camera thumbnail seems to open a still image of the camera and not the live view, if clicking on what looks like a camera icon below the thumbnail activates the live view.
- Subscription based, not as expensive as the others.
Alfred Camera
Quite expensive and app is very limited without subscribing. I would say if the other apps don’t work for you, only then would I suggest giving this a go.
