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".
