It's pretty good. But there is a major flaw that needs to be addressed. PLEASE! Then I will gladly give 5 stars and throw money at it. 1) The screen needs to "time out" and go dark. With the screen forced to be on all the time it totally gives it away. This is a deal breaker. 2) It should detect visual movement at the camera lens only. I had great trouble with it freaking out with any kind of shaking of the camera at all. Please fix because I really like this idea.

Works well. I would rate it 5 star if it allowed for connection to my PC and just move the video file there. .I do not like that the only option is to move the file to drop box.

There is an option in the app settings to automatically upload to your Google Drive. You can also go to the app's gallery and open the video using your device's default player—or any other player that has a sharing option. Additionally, there is an option to save the video to a memory card, allowing you to use that file path to locate it on your PC

I finally caught my neighbours entering my property several times in the first night it's brilliant on tripod and motion detection works directly through glass as there's no infrared or night vision get a motion detection light from hardware store I placed my motion detection light over one side of the room and phone in a cradle with black paper over screen with airplane mode switched ON so it won't receive any notification or aluminate with screen also turned all the way down
