Choosing a compact home monitor comes down to more than 1080P video: you may want the simplest USB-powered indoor camera, or you may prefer extra monitoring controls such as motion detection and sound monitoring. These two black WiFi mini cameras both target remote viewing, but their apps, power details, and feature sets point to different setups.
Quick verdict
For the more direct everyday indoor-monitoring choice, pick the Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring at USD 9.99. It is described as a compact, USB-powered wireless camera for indoor locations and uses the CY365 mobile app.
Choose the Smart Mini Camera WiFi HD 1080P IP Night Vision Camcorder Home Security Cam DVR at USD 22.79 when the HomeEye app, motion detection, sound monitoring, loop recording, and multi-user viewing are more important to your setup. It needs external power, so plan for a powered USB connection or other external power source.

Product notes
Smart Mini Camera WiFi HD 1080P IP Night Vision Camcorder
Pick this model if your home-monitoring plan benefits from more than simply viewing a feed. The feature list names motion detection, sound monitoring, loop recording, alarm recording, remote viewing, and multi-user viewing, while the HomeEye app gives this camera a specific app ecosystem. Its wireless and wired connectivity options can also suit a setup centered on WiFi with external USB power. The key limitation is explicit: there is no built-in battery. The camera requires an external power input, even though it can record while charging. At USD 22.79, it is the choice for shoppers prioritizing the broader named monitoring controls rather than the lowest listed price.
Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam
This camera makes sense for a simple, compact indoor monitoring role. It is described for placement on desks, shelves, and other indoor locations, with wireless networking and remote viewing through the CY365 mobile app. USB power supports continuous operation without battery charging, making it suited to a location where a USB connection is available. Night vision is included in the features, and the color mode is listed as color day and black-and-white night. Its limitation is that the feature list is more streamlined: it does not name the motion detection, sound monitoring, loop recording, or multi-user viewing found on the Smart Mini Camera. At USD 9.99, it keeps the focus on basic remote indoor observation.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Mini Camera WiFi 1080P HD Smart Home Security Portable IP Cam Remote Monitoring for a compact wireless camera with USB-powered continuous operation and CY365 remote viewing. Choose the Smart Mini Camera WiFi HD 1080P IP Night Vision Camcorder Home Security Cam DVR if HomeEye access, motion detection, sound monitoring, loop recording, and multi-user viewing are central to how you want to monitor the space.
