## What is GhostEye?

Whether you are a professional Paranormal Investigator, a hobbyist or want to set up a simple alarm system, this app works as a motion detector taking snapshots when movement is detected.

By placing your device on a fixed, UNMOVING surface (using a tripod works best) you can point it at an area to monitor. GhostEye will use the camera to watch for movement and take a snapshot when it detects changes in the image.

Features include:
- Use the rear or front camera where available
- Adjust sensitivity to prevent false motion detection
- Save snapshot images at 25%, 50%, 75% or full size
- Share saved images with other apps, e.g. iCloud, Email etc.

TIP 1: Even a cheap tripod (e.g. from a pound shop) will provide a steady image to prevent your device being affected by motion or vibration. Don't try to use the app while holding your device as it will detect lots of movement.

TIP 2: The app can be used to catch trespassers in an area by leaving your device plugged into a charger and pointing to the area to monitor.

If the app does not do what you were expecting, or there is an issue with it running on your device, please contact me for help.

There are no adverts in this software. If you would like to try the free version first (with limited snapshots and image size), it is listed under "GhostEye Lite".

### 5/5 — it’s a must have and yes it works

*2021-12-05*

I didn’t ask for my living room so I downloaded the app Klarna and I crazy into my surprise and picked up some thing by my window air before and after pictures of big the same thing I was very shocked when I seen the photo I use it again anytime I send something around and it picks up to confirm this is a must have my kids my stories Novi

**Developer response:** Thank you for the 5 stars and for sharing your experience. Best wishes to you.

### 1/5 — This app i do not recommend

*2020-10-10*

The reason I do not recommend this app is because I purchased it and as soon as I downloaded it and tried to activate it it gives me a pop-up message saying my camera is not supported well I’m running an iPhone XS max so by all means this camera should more than be able to support this app in my opinion. And I tried it again and again and I tried to download it twice and still the same thing so in my opinion I would stay far far away from this app if possible because it just doesn’t work for me I don’t know if anybody else has had the same problem but in my case I’m asking for a refund and I’m giving it a bad review because it deserves a zero star. If by chance the developer reads this review I would appreciate them getting a hold of me or giving me a reason why your app will not support my camera makes no sense at all to me.
