How it works:
Motion detection can be started by pressing the "Start Motion Detection" button on the main page. After starting the motion detection, app goes into video monitor mode. In the video monitor mode, it continuously analyses the captured video and checks for any movement or change in the scene. Upon detecting a movement it goes into video record mode. In the video record mode it just records the video and does not analyse the scene. After recording the video for the specified duration the app transitions back to the video monitor mode. This loop continues till you stop the motion detection. Motion detection can be stopped by pressing the "Stop Motion Detection" button on the main page.
Instructions:
1. Specify the video capture duration (in seconds). After the app detects a movement in the scene, it records the video for this duration.
2. Choose the desired "Motion Detector Sensitivity" option.
3. Press "Start Motion Detection" button. This would show the camera preview on the screen. Place the phone in a stationary place. Optionally press the power button so that screen turns off immediately.
4. Now the app is doing the motion detection or video recording.
5. You may want to put the phone in silent mode so that it does not make any sound while recording the video.
6. Captured videos are stored in "VMDSpy" folder in the SD card.
7. To stop the motion detection: Unlock the phone. You may see the camera preview. Press the "Back" button on the phone to see the app's main page. Press "Stop Motion Detection" button and the "Exit" button.
Limitations:
1. This app just records the video on the SD card when it detects a movement in the scene. It does not send SMS or email. This is mainly to keep the app simple and easy to use.
2. The motion detection algorithm that we have chosen cannnot detect a very very slowly changing scene. This is mainly to simplify the whole setup procedure. Hence this app may not be suitable for capturing a slowly changing scene. We have given the "Motion Detector Sensitivity" option in the app. Please try different settings and use the appropriate one that satisfies your need.
3. Current version of the app cannot monitor and record the video simultaneously. Because of this limitation, we could miss the video for a small duration. Hence this app is NOT suitable for detecting any high speed action. On an average we may loose the video up to a second, but that depends the phone model.
