User Reviews for Motion Detector

Seems to work as promised

Seems to be working...I wasn't to sure about it before I downloaded it..especially for 3 bucks..but it's working good on my 3g ..wish I had the 3gs to see the video feed..only draw back seems to be the 4 sec delay between photos...but as they said Its do to the hardware...

Cumbersome to use and misses the mark

Starts recording immediately when you launch the app as soon as it detects motion. There should be a start stop function. It doesn't record as long as it detects motion, you need to set a record length. This doesn't seem well thought out. If I'm trying to catch an animal that goes in the detection area quickly, it seems it will record for the set record length until it detects motion again. I find it too difficult to use to be useful at this time.

Hammer

Works great! Takes a little getting used to. Drag on stored images to delete. Biggest draw back is that images can't be exported. When that is available, I would rate it at five stars.

Just what I needed!!

I was looking for a cheap way to find out which one of my three cats was urinating on the carpeting. I wanted to be able to catch them in the "act". I didn't want to spend a lot of money on surveillance cameras so I was really happy when I found this app that allowed me to use my iPad as a camera. I wanted motion detection because I didn't want to go through hours of video tape. It even sent me still photos by email whenever the camera detected some motion. Then I could go back to the iPad and view the video that it took if it was one of the cats in the still photo. So simple to use. I highly recommend this app if you just need some photos and video caught by motion detection. It also has an option to start videotaping when there is a sound. But I didn't need that. Filled the bill for me!

Motion detector doesn't work on my 10.2 iPhone.

Great ideas for features, but couldn't get it to work on iPhone 10.2. I tried selecting the area for motion, but it rises up 10% on the detection screen. So I made it lower to compensate for that. Only records or sounds alarm when I move the phone. Reset motion to whole image and restarted. It seems to detect motion in the levels, about 30%, but won't record unless I move the phone. Also, why isn't there an on-off activation button to arm/disarm the recorder? The only way I can stop it from triggering and recording while I'm trying to work on the settings is to shut down the app and restart. Requests: if a working version gets updated, I would like the ability to record less than 1 minute, and the ability to have more than 3 sensitivity levels. Maybe just a line to let us enter the variable ourselves.

Not ready for prime time

Rushed to market? Don't know, but it's not working as advertised. On a new 3GS, when the app is opened it seems to take a pic every 2.5 seconds even when the camera lens is covered and the motion detection bar is showing zero. Notice I said "seems to take a pic"? Yeah, about that....It makes the shutter sound like a picture is being taken, but none ever show up on the camera roll. Even when enough motion is introduced to clearly snap a pic. No pics, no how.So, logical thing to do is visit the Senstic web site for support, right? Well good luck, 'cause "Motion Detector" isn't listed as one of their iPhone products, nor listed in their forum, at least as of the time of writing of this review.So bottom line: It doesn't work at all for me and there's no support on the Senstic web site. Wasted $3.

SECURITY RISK FOR PHISHING

This app requires entering one’s personal email and the email password to get to one’s actual email server, such as Google, in order to send messages, and it doesn’t allow you to do that via the secure GMail protocol!This is a serious data risk and utterly not fine by app developers!I WAJT A FULL REFUND NOW!

Could Use Some Improvement

This is just what I was looking for and does the job, but there are are some issues. The recording time only records for 1 minute even if you have it set to 3 minutes. I would prefer it if this setting could be set to any time duration the user wants verses limiting to three preset time intervals. This app doesn't record sound, which I didn't find out about until after my purchase. It would make sense to have an option for this.

It works...

Here's the deal. The app works fine. It still needs some additional work but it does what it says it does. For those looking for your pics in the camera roll they are not stored there they are stored in the app itself in the info/settings area in the last field at the bottom of the screen. There is room for improvement like it should store them on your camera roll too and It should allow you to delete photos via a password protected format if you do not want to keep them. You should also make it so it is silent as it snaps pics from motion, and if it could also record what they are looking at in the phone itself so you know exactly what apps were tampered with it would be a great app. I look forward to first update to see how designer improves functionality. This could easily be a 5 star app with the above mentioned enhancements.

Description

Motion Detector is a stand-alone surveillance tool for your iOS devices. Motion Detector automatically takes consecutive photos using the device's camera and performs sophisticated mathematics for motion detection. When motion is detected, Motion Detector can start automatic recording and/or Email notification, so you will have physical records of what has happened.

The app also supports sound detection using the device's microphone. The app will alert you when the microphone picks up a sound above a specified sound level. If you have a paired Apple Watch, you can remotely view the motion detector camera from your watch. For example, you can set your iPhone in the living room, and remotely monitor and control motion detector from the bedroom. Features: * Motion detection using sophisticated mathematical models. * Sound detection. * Automatic Email notification. * Automatic trigger recording of subsequent photos. * Custom motion area selection. * Recording playback. * Remote viewing from Apple Watch.
