Comments on Motion Detector: Security Cam for Android
★★★★★Aleksandr Mamonov· Feb 19, 2026
The app is the exactly what I was looking for. There are two features missing. I wish I could turn on flashlight because I record my cats going to toilet in the dark room. I wish I could set fps for motion detection because the phone is much warmer than I expect. It would be nice to tweak video quality too, because I don't really need this footage in 4k 60 fps.
★☆☆☆☆Jim Fox· Feb 14, 2026
Videos don't record for longer than a few seconds even if it's set to 90 seconds in the settings. The "monitoring stopped due to device movement" window won't go away, so I have to force stop it in settings This app needs LOTS of work!
★☆☆☆☆Paul Sowerby· Feb 23, 2026
Can't get the app to stop repeated false detections
