5. Enable Motion Detection

Motion detection is a key feature that enhances your smartphone’s capability as a security camera. Within the app settings, you can configure motion detection alerts to notify you of any unexpected movement. Adjust sensitivity levels to suit your environment, ensuring that you receive alerts for significant activity without being overwhelmed by false alarms. Many apps also allow you to define specific zones for motion detection, focusing on areas of interest while ignoring irrelevant movements. By fine-tuning these settings, you maintain an effective and vigilant surveillance system that keeps you informed.
