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.

The app is the exactly what I was looking for. There are two features missing. I wish I could turn on flashlight because I record my cats going to toilet in the dark room. I wish I could set fps for motion detection because the phone is much more warmer than I expect. It would be nice to tweak video quality too, because I don't really need this footage in 4k 60 fps.

Thank you for the feedback. In the next app update, I will certainly be adding the recorded video quality functionality in the settings. Please wait for the next update.
