Description
Motion Detector Pro is a home security camera app, that uses the built-in camera to detect movements in the surrounding area using an advanced motion detection algorithm. If it detects movement it sends an email with a picture link to another cell phone, allowing you to remotely monitor an area using your Android phone. Use it to keep an eye on your pet, your business/office or home. Motion Detector Pro can:
✓ Take a picture when the camera sees a movement and send it to an email or another phone. Great for catching thieves, watching your business/home or keeping an eye on your pet
✓ Indicate realtime on the phones display where the movement is detected
✓ Store the images on the cloud or locally on the phones SD-card
*If the app fails at startup, please restart your phone and try again*

Works well from the gate. Would prefer SMS in lieu of e-mail but Google has a habit of taking away great functionality. Also prefer saving pics in e-mail. None of their business saving to their cloud.

The app works just fine, for outdoors I would suggest you set it to 15-25 for sensitivity for the best experience, otherwise for in doors your best bet is to leave it in a range of 4-10, the app will also detect flashing lights, any movement, and track the movement down to the pixel, the app also sends an email with pictures and a picture of where the motion was detected, to save memory best to stick to cloud, especially of you want to receive the email of the pictures. Thanks devs perfect app

The first non-spyware non-registration genuinely useful, functional, minimalist camera surveillance app I have found.

Hi. I was wondering what the phone name meant in settings? To identify the phone in the outgoing mail? Thank you!

It won't make the alarm sound it just says please hold your phone perfectly still, and it keeps on crashing

Doesn't work. Detects movement yt doesn't save images ot send them to email. Useless
★★☆☆☆Tiger Fox· Dec 25, 2022
Really wanted this app to work. It would not send an email via 4G connection. Thought it was my VPN. Allowed it to tunnel VPN free. That didn't work either; no email. I had images coming up on their cloud even. Can't delete images once they are on their cloud and that makes me really suspicious about privacy concerns. It'll capture pics to your phone, and you can change sensitivity settings, but no video. It takes 10-20seconds to set up again. What if the intruder saw the phone and delete image?
