SECuRET ProCam for Android
Why identity permission?
Great app but needs usb camera support.
Keeps crashing
Using Google Nexus 7: linked app to gmail account for purpose of having motion captures sent to my email. Received error message "Capture could NOT be emailed -java.io.IOException: Permanent SMTP error 534" Please explain and help me resolve error so I can utilize the app in designated manner. In turn I will rate the app more favorably and amend my review. Thank you.
Motion detection is useless. Takes several photos per minute, when is no movement other than grass blowing ....
Won't work keeps crashing ain't able to refund. So now I have had $5 stolen by a junk app.
Too many permissions asked
Turn your Android phone camera or remote camera into a visual motion triggered SpyCam. Can be used as a surveillance solution or take a snapshot of your friends when they don't know they are on camera.
Brought this app on around June 2013 (wrote positive review) and fast forward to 2018. I gotta say this app still obe if the best on the market that's why im still using it :)
2yrs,still most valuable app in Playstore-found nothing like it. No exaggeration! Sadly, no more development or flavors. Works as needed, but some improvements needed. Easier on battery. Need email alert on every xx minutes , but SMS to SMS is way more reliable when no 4g. Need up to 3min pause. Need jpg q reduction to get smaller jpgs.
Great way to use an old Android phone as a simple motion detection camera. I use this in my condo and it is the only app that I have found that works and could set up with a consistent notification. The program is a bit tricky to set-up, but if you combine it with IFTTT and Dropbox, you have a powerful way to get notifications to your mobile when motion is detected.
Why are the other apps that go with this hidden. They were there when they wanted my money. Now they are nowhere to be found. 1 is a SMS/remote feature that goes with this app and the other is a WiFi app that allows one to see the camera via the Internet or WiFi at home. Why are they hidden I would like to install them as I have already paid for them
It is a good app and it does what it says, however few things I tested and didn't like with my Galaxy S5 (otherwise it works) 1) When ,motion is on, it doesn't lock the screen, so if someone comes along and grabs the mobile its actually unlocked for them (you can turn off the screen but its still unlocked) 2) Picture quality emailed to me was very fuzzy (I could hardly recognize myself - res on cam is 1920-1080) If there is a way to correct this that would be great
I feel conned, you seemingly have to purchase the app at least twice before it is of any use. I don't mind paying for an app but there was no mention that I would need to pay once for the camera and once for the viewer!

Could not test it for too long because it only supports email notification when image resolution is set to 800x400. Full resolution disables any notifications so you cannot even get a message to look at your Dropbox...

I installed it on an oldish tablet (3 or 4 years old) and it sent motion detection emails several times a minute, so I abandoned the plan to use it and set up another newer one in a corner were there was absolutely nothing to be misinterpreted as movement and I got no emails, so I set it up in the position I wanted it and left the house. I was leaving my house unattended for over a month and the last time I did this I was burgled. I arrived at the airport to see some 300 emails...As I didn't set up Dropbox (on the basis that the likelihood of moovement detection was minimal), by the time I arrived at my destination 34 hours later, there were no emails as the device storage had been filled up. My house is now unprotected and this app is responsible for my house not being secure. 4 days later and there is now no option to get a refund and anyway the issue is not the money but its not living up to its promise, which I naively believed despite some negative reviews. If its promise is important to you and your home's security is at stake DON'T buy it.
I still get many false alarms. If you include an area mask filter, perhaps a 5x5 grid overlay that the user could toggle what to include in trigger processing , would be huge improvement. We could avoid the pets.
I first bought this a couple years ago along with the live streaming app. And after multiple OS upgrades and Roms and modding it still holds true. I do have one request and would add another star....wear support please!!

Flashing blinking black screen I know how it's supposed to function properly it not doing that...
I've been using this app for years to watch my cats while I'm away from home. It works great! Have never had any problems at all!!
Works really well... definitely worth the $5. Here are some things I could suggest to the developer to make it even more awesome: - Auto delete old videos (I want to set it and forget it) - Email alerts (even it the pic/video isn't included) when set to high res photo or video mode - More granular motion detection (some way to eliminate the frequent squirrel/wind blowing a bush videos) Otherwise... super cool app. - Update: I was able to set up TaskBomb (android app) and a py script to truncate the folder once daily...
I wish I had read the author's website before purchasing. The app is pretty good, but it has certain limitations that need to be addressed and the author is no longer "actively developing" this application. Number One: There should be a way to delete old videos automatically. In one day, I had almost a GB of videos. My phone has 8GB. You do the math.

Doesn't run longer than one day then just quits sending alerts. It doesn't crash, it just quits being useful.
Why?
I wrote an email to the developer already to enhance this app so it would be useful as a car blackbox device. I'm wondering if the app could do cycling recordings when the memory gets full?
Samsung Epic 4G. Great app. It recorded my house guest being perverted while my wife was napping on the couch.
I have to use a screen on app to keep screen on, and theres no exit button that completely closes the app, I use task killer, other then that its 5*
Keeps resetting every time I open it up like I just installed it, gotta accept and agree to terms all over again .

Can take rapid photos without even touching the screen. Screen appears blank.
Works great.
Should allow one click start rather than fumble through, and the have to press a tiniest start button three clicks later that vanishes as you turn/move your phone. Why would the start button ever vanish until AFTER you start?
Works awesome on my razr maxx! Read all of the help sections for troubleshooting.
