Extensive Live Settings for fine-grained control (thresholds, area, alarms, and more)
Visual feedback via on-screen motion rectangles and motion history
Optional picture capture on motion and configurable alarms for proactive monitoring

Comments on Motion Detector for Android

★★★★☆ Mojtaba Abiri · Jan 4, 2025

Although it works nice, however the movement must be so close to be detected. BTW, you can use this app, in addition to some seeds to get wonderful images from birds in the winter

★★★★★ IndMan · Sep 15, 2024

Excellent App. Wish to get paid version if the app can record a 1 to 5 minute (user configurable) video on motion detection. Also, plz build a new and paid version of an app that can be used as Anti car mess up alarm. Some1 quietly broke my rear glass n left. We need an app to alert in such cases. For example, we can leave d mobile in car with your app activated which can listen noise + light vibration should trigger alarm, record video, take photos, send sms or WhatsApp alert etc.

★★★★☆ Robert John · Apr 8, 2026

I've been a happy user of this free app for over a year. Yesterday, a notice appeared on the screen and won't go away: "New Feature Motion Notifications • You can send..." I use an old phone for this app, and it worked like a charm till yesterday. I want my Motion Detector back! Someone helps, please.

Why does this app shut down when I use it? I come home to check if someone came into my room and the app is off. Makes it useless if this keeps happening. It's not my phone. The phone works fine. Totally useless

Motion detector in background just stopped working. Also makes the shutter sound when taking a photo, even if you have the shutter setting off.

★★☆☆☆ Earl Wheatley · Mar 3, 2024

Nice layout, simple efficient design. Shame not many works. The alarm sound won't turn off even when it's not on in the settings. The picture will not save, again even when it's turned on to do so in the settings. The only image it saves is the small icon in the motion history section. Seems my search is still on for a working security App.
