About this app

Turn any Android phone into a security camera, dashcam or pet cam. Motion detection records only what matters, and every clip goes straight to your own Google Drive. Free, no subscription.

HOW IT WORKS: set the phone down, tap Watch, walk away. When something moves, Motion Watch records a clip and uploads it to your Google Drive. Open the app on any phone signed in to the same Google account to watch it.

★ A THIEF CAN DESTROY THE CAMERA — NOT THE FOOTAGE
A normal camera or dashcam keeps video on the device. Smash it, steal it or take the SD card, and the evidence goes with it.

Motion Watch uploads every clip to your Google Drive the moment it records. Break the phone and the footage is already safe. Take the phone and you have still been recorded.

The camera is replaceable. The evidence is not.

★ IMPROMPTU SECURITY, ANYWHERE
Some places you cannot install a camera. A hotel room. A rented flat. A market stall. A hospital bedside.

Motion Watch needs nothing but a phone and a shelf. Point it at your luggage, your stock or your door and walk away. Take it down when you leave — no wiring, no installer, nothing left behind.

★ DASHCAM — INCLUDING THE ANGLE YOURS MISSES
Most dashcams face forward only. Add a phone for:
• Rear window — the car that went into the back of you
• Side and blind spot — undertaking, lane changes, door strikes
• Cabin facing — passengers, rideshare disputes, false claims
Each clip is out of the vehicle within seconds.

★ WATCH FROM ANYWHERE
The camera stays where you left it. You do not have to. Sign in on your own phone with the same Google account and every clip appears in your library — next room or next country. No router setup.

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Most cloud cameras route your video through the manufacturer's servers. Motion Watch has no servers. Footage goes from your phone to YOUR Google Drive and nowhere else.
• We cannot see your recordings — there is nothing on our side to see
• No new account: sign in with the Google account you already own
• Delete the app and your footage is still yours

★ SMART MOTION DETECTION
• Records the instant movement is detected
• Separate sensitivity for front and back camera (1-10) to cut false alarms
• Adapts to changing light — fewer false triggers day or night
• Keeps recording while the movement continues
• Front and back cameras alternate for wider coverage

★ SETTINGS YOU CONTROL
• Recording quality per camera, from 480p up to 4K where the camera supports it — each camera only offers sizes it can really record
• Clip length and keep-recording-while-motion-continues
• Live view while recording, or screen-off power saving
• Camera switch interval, alert sound, battery and storage warnings

PERFECT FOR
• Home security camera — records intruders the moment they move
• Second dashcam — rear, side, blind spot or cabin
• Hotel and Airbnb rooms — watch your luggage
• Hospital bedsides and care home rooms
• Market stalls and pop-ups
• Event booths, festivals and camping
• Pet camera — dog monitor, cat cam, puppy watch
• Baby monitor, kids room and nanny cam
• Dorm rooms, hostels and holiday lets
• Bike, tools and gear left unattended
• Taxi, rideshare and delivery driver camera
• Package theft and front-door monitoring
• Replacing an IP camera, webcam or CCTV setup

WHY MOTION WATCH
• 100% free — no subscription, no cloud fees, no SD cards
• Uses the Google Drive storage you already have
• Saves the moments that matter, not hours of empty footage

GOOD TO KNOW
• Built for the cloud on purpose: clips upload to your Google Drive rather than living only on the phone — that is what keeps them safe if the phone is stolen or broken, and lets you watch from anywhere
• Needs a Google account, an internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data) and free space on your Google Drive
• Clips waiting for a connection are kept on the phone and upload automatically when it returns
• Please use it responsibly and follow the recording and privacy laws where you live
