Motion Detector

Try to send an intent from Tasker to start Motion Detector and it doesn't work! I changed my rating after talking to the developer. The app is great! Now if I can just get the sound alert to silence... :)

I had some confusion to begin with, and I think a help file or user guide would be useful to describe the usage and how the different settings work, but after a few emails to the very responsive developer I had my questions answered and the app is great. I have Tasker but have not yet tried to set up a Tasker profile to use the motion detection but this is not important to me. Also, it would have been good to have the app use the full resolution of the camera, though I understand that this could have affected the responsiveness of the motion detection. I hope this comes soon but I still think that this deserves 5 stars for being an app that does what it is supposed to do, but also for the responsiveness of the developer.

I have never seen anything as good as this app for motion detection on android. IT IS AWESOMELY SUPER.

Am I missing somthing? Is it possible to make full use of my galaxy 6 camera with this app? The app works great, I would be willing to pay more for higher resolution options.

This app is amazing, it takes time to get familiar with all the settings. What can I say, brilliant sums it up. A great security app with great settings. The developer done some hard work here, thank you.

Can use email or post to send pics, no cloud account required

The motion detection part of this app works great! Compared to IP Webcam Pro I was particularly interested in the low-power use of the motion detector. It actually saves power relative to leaving the screen on. One star removed because the HTTP feature just doesn't work. The author's reply is wrong; it has nothing to do with PHP. Chrome and Tasker on the same device talk to my local HTTP server just fine, but this app reports an error when sending the request and the HTTP server does not receive any traffic. Possibly the app is expecting wifi and does not support wired data connections? I have noticed that problem in a few other apps. I found I could get notifications for motion events over HTTP by linking this app to Tasker, but you can't send images over HTTP that way.

...had to delete the old review, reached the maximum length... ***UPDATE 29th Sep 2015*** I've been using this app for a month now. I've been playing with the settings daily, even hourly, and simply can not make it to work the way I want. It doesn't really detect motion at all, but it does detect changes in the lightning conditions. I've pointed the camera to the front yard. Either it captures crazy amount of photos (~500 per hour) or with tighter settings misses movements while still doing lots of false detects. I've tried Motion Detector Pro app (different developer despite the name) and it has excellent motion detecting algorithm. Perhaps you should consider rewriting the algorithm. I'm super happy with all the features and stability of the app, it just doesn't do what it is supposed to do - Detect Motion.

Tried all setting to get this to detect motion but got 34 false results in a 4 hr period. Though this might be caused by changes in lighting. Then tried inside a lamp lit box and still got false positives. Using a Nexus 7 on lollipop. Good set of features but just can't get the motion sensor to work correctly. Needs some sort of test mode like other apps so you can better set the sensitivity.

With Tasker integration I managed to realise my swim lap counter project. It detects when I am at the end of the pool, sends an internal message to tasker, where I increment lap counter and misc duration counters and display them. A more comprehensive manual on the settings would help...

Its using CAMERA so if the room is dark it can not detect if some one hold it or try to steal it . and if you using front cam it always false alarm cause it detect when something ia moving . may i suggest to camera motion and the move sensor of the phone combination , so it can detect even its dark . and the remove the charger detector so it can detect if someone remove it to the charger . i hope you read this . thanks .

Good app, but the photo quality it not good even though i put the quality setting higher still not good enough.If you remotely change setting via other devise eg pc that would be a bonus. Im hoping that will be fixed with next update. Other than that works stable, works in background without tying the devise.

I purchased this motion detector app and am using it as a wild game camera. Its working great, and I know when the deer are around. Its the only app I found that consistently sends pictures and does not shut off. I hook it up to a 12 v car battery to keep phone charged.

Worked well for a few minutes, now the front and back cameras don't seem to register events. When I stop event recording there is a message stating "error occurred". There doesn't seem to be an error log with more detail so the program isn't very useful in its current state. Edit: When there are no recorded events for approx. 10 seconds, the detector appears to stop, even though the program thinks it's still running. I can restart it with a Tasker intent. Dev, if you're reading this, any idea what's crashing the detector?

Hi Sir, just bought your program, may I know is there any documentation I can refer for tasker integration?

I don't like this it took to long to react and I want a refund

Simple and with lots of ways to change how it detects motions and records data. Love it.

Incredible

Works well

super fast responding dev. i was having an issue with using the email setting and gmails 2 factor authentication he responded in 5 minutes after i sent the email. Generate an app password if you run into the same issue

I got to say I am very happy with this application. It is very customizable and easy to use.

BEST OF THEM ALL! I have tried all of the 3+ star rated motion cam apps and this one is the best. It super easy to use and works flawlessly.

This THE best motion detection app. It's options are very in depth and allow a lot of control. Highly recommended.

Any plans for multi-zone and directional movement? Support for external cameras including kinect?

If the phone doesn't have an sd card you cannot set the send functions?

Can u pls help mee how? I want to make a profile that when i txt my phone the motion detect will b anable and start detecting.thank u in advance

Picture resolution only 1024x768 ! Which is of course very bad.

Tasker compatibility is great! Just for fun, I made a task so that my phone tells people to "Go away!!" when it detects movement near it.
