Review summary

Users find that the app works on certain devices and continues recording with the screen off, offering a basic motion detection camera that feels relatively secure. However, multiple reviews report critical issues including crashes upon motion detection, failure to save videos to SD cards, delayed recording start, poor video quality, and missing features like sensitivity adjustment and landscape recording. While some users appreciate its simplicity, common technical problems significantly impact usability.

Pros

Works well on some devices, including older models.
Continues working even when the screen is off.
Simple and basic design reduces security vulnerabilities.
Automatically detects motion to start recording videos.
Generates multiple short video clips to cover motion events.

Cons

Inability to save videos to SD card on some devices due to storage location issues.
Frequent crashes or stops recording after detecting motion.
Poor video quality such as low frames per second, darkening on motion, or blurry captures.
Delay in start of recording after motion is detected, missing initial seconds.
Lack of important features like sensitivity settings, timer before monitoring, and landscape recording mode.

2023-01-18	Mo*****	Doesn't work. Instead of recording a video upon motion detection, it snaps a blurry photo, then stops working all together. Even if you click "stop" and start it again, it looks like it's working, but nothing happens/saves.

2021-07-07	Co*****	Maybe I'm too stupid to use this but it's working as a normal video recorder for me. It's starts recording when I press start and stops when I press stop. Haven't found the motion detect function yet
