## Review summary

Motion Detector Pro is easy to use and generally reliable for basic surveillance, with a minimalist design and privacy-friendly emphasis. However, it struggles with notification reliability (delay vs instant alerts and SMS gaps), heavy cloud reliance (privacy concerns and hard image deletion), missing camera controls (size/ISO/exposure, zoom), and inconsistent alarm sounds. Some device compatibility issues also surface. Overall, solid core functionality but improvements are needed in privacy, notifications, and configurable settings.

### Pros

- Easy to use and minimalist interface.
- Reliable for basic surveillance and generally works well.
- Privacy-minded / spyware-free experience with minimal registration.
- Cost-effective compared to subscription-based alternatives.

### Cons

- Notifications are slow and unreliable; users want instant alerts and SMS support instead of emails.
- Heavy reliance on cloud storage raises privacy concerns and makes deleting images difficult.
- Lack of camera controls (no image size/ISO/exposure, no zoom) and limited viewing/editing options.
- Alarm sounds are unreliable or lack customization options.
- Reliability/compatibility issues on certain devices; some users report it doesn't work.
