iGotcha Lite intruder detector

iGotcha lets you see, monitor and record what's happening at home, office or anywhere when you're not there, even see what the kids or pets are up to. iGotcha sends an SMS text alert and an email with photo and video when it detects motion or movement caused by a burglar, thief, intruder - or the kids or pets.


Now with face detection! iGotcha has the option to trigger if it detects a face and will ignore pets. Please note that face detection is experimental - it may not work on all devices due to the differences in Android hardware.

iGotcha is a professional quality security camera app with biometric face detection using advanced Computer Vision (CV) technology for greater accuracy and reliability - rather than the basic bitmap comparison used by other apps.

What is the difference between Lite and Pro versions?
The only difference is Lite contains ads and Pro does not. We strongly recommend trying Lite first to ensure it is compatible with your device. If Lite works, then Pro should.

What can it be used for?
iGotcha's uses are only limited by your imagination! It can be used to monitor a room for unauthorized activity like an intruder or see who's snooping round your stuff, to see what happens at home or the office while you’re away, to see what the pets are up to, even to alert you about power outages.

Will iGotcha work if there is a power outage?
Yes! iGotcha is normally used with the phone plugged into its charger, but will continue on battery power during a power outage. It will also send you alerts if the power goes off and when it comes back on. It runs for 3 to 4 hours or more on a fully charged battery, but this is will vary depending on the phone model and the battery's condition.
