For home monitoring, the key choice here is not resolution: both cameras are listed with 1080P video and WiFi connectivity. The more useful decision is power. Choose between a compact camera designed for uninterrupted USB plug-in operation and one that combines plug-in use with a rechargeable battery, motion detection, and card recording video.
Quick verdict
Pick the Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring when a powered location suits your setup and you want the lower listed price. Pick the 1080P Wireless WiFi Mini Camera Home Security Cam DIY Motion Detection Recorder when rechargeable operation and motion detection matter more. The listed-price spread is $16.30, and the higher-priced model brings the clearest functional additions: a 2000 mAh battery, an approximately six-hour stated battery life, and motion detection.

Where each camera wins
Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring is the better fit for a setup that can remain connected to USB power. Its no-internal-battery design is aimed at continuous operation without battery charging, and its CY365 app supports Android and iOS.

1080P Wireless WiFi Mini Camera Home Security Cam DIY Motion Detection Recorder takes the lead for a more flexible power arrangement. It lists a rechargeable 2000 mAh battery with about six hours of use on a full charge, while retaining plug-in capability.

Product notes
Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring
This is the straightforward choice for monitoring in a location where USB power is already part of the plan. The camera combines 1080P HD video, 2.4GHz WiFi, remote monitoring, and a CY365 app compatible with Android and iOS. Its AP hotspot mode is another listed connectivity option, while cloud image storage is included in its storage support. Choose it when you prefer a compact, continuously powered camera and the lower listed price is a priority. Its main constraint is equally clear: there is no internal battery. That means its intended operation depends on USB plug-in power rather than a stated rechargeable run time.
1080P Wireless WiFi Mini Camera Home Security Cam DIY Motion Detection Recorder
Choose this camera when motion-triggered monitoring and rechargeable power are central to your home-monitoring plan. Alongside 1080P video and app remote viewing, it lists a motion detection alarm, card recording video, and a 2000 mAh battery. The stated battery life is about six hours after a full charge, and the camera can also be plugged in for power. Its small, lightweight format further aligns with a compact camera setup. The tradeoff is the higher listed price and a specific network requirement: it uses 2.4G WiFi, while 5G WiFi is not supported. It is the more suitable choice when those added functions outweigh that limitation.
Final choice by use case
For a continuously powered indoor monitoring setup, choose the Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring. For rechargeable operation, motion detection alarm, and card recording video, choose the 1080P Wireless WiFi Mini Camera Home Security Cam DIY Motion Detection Recorder. The decision comes down to simpler plug-in monitoring versus battery capability and additional recording-oriented features.
