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.
