About this app

If you happen to have an old smartphone or tablet collecting dust somewhere, now you have a better option. Picket turns your spare smartphones and tablets into home surveillance cameras that you can watch while you’re away. It helps you find out if your package arrived, monitor your baby, if the kids are home from school, or find out what your dog and cat are up to.

Picket will take any Android phone or tablet running Gingerbread version 2.3 or greater and put its Internet connectivity and advanced video and audio sensors to good use. Video surveillance has never been easier. Install Picket on two phones. One is your Camera at your designated location and take the other one with you as a Viewer. Log in with the same Google account, and that’s it! You are now connected to your loved ones via WiFi or 3G/4G from anywhere in the world. With Picket's unique motion detection feature and Google Drive and Dropbox integration, you can enjoy peace of mind without keeping a constant eye on things.

this app works better in the free version that the paid one. Fix the bug and I will gladly change this review. As of now.. this app is garbage. There are many good things that I could say about the app, but I won't until the app is running as it should. For some reason my account only shows Pro version on the phone that it was purchased with. This means adds on the other devices connected to the same account. The worst is when I can't see recorded clips.. at all. (On the PAID version, mind you.)

I've used this app for years. Can't live without it but it has its issues. "Talk" isn't working since the latest update, maybe longer. I would love to be able to view uninterupted recordings instead of 3 minutes at a time when it's set to record. Would be great to be able to search for a specific time like say, between 4-5 PM instead of viewing 100 clips before finding out just how the rake came up missing, for example.

Picket is better than Alfred: The camera doesn't run down the battery while plugged in, it saves video from about 3s before the motion, & it lets you specify the area of detection, greatly reducing false alarms. (A grid of squares can be turned on/off individually.) Camera can be zoomed. Sends a notification to the viewer in 20s (even when the viewing app isn't running) & in a few mins video is on Google drive. View in app or Web. You can also schedule when to detect motion with different hours 4 different weekdays.. Needs live video on PC rather than just on the viewer. I had some problems using a Galaxy Victory as the camera & a Galaxy S5 as the viewer. The remote zoom slider is on the viewer screen, but doesn't work. The zones 4 detection on the viewer vs. camera are flipped. The viewer to camera sound doesn't work. Took time to figure out that if the camera doesn't have an SD card & you set it to use it, it won't save anything online. Trial ends after 2 days. You can restart for 60m at a time. Trial's limited to 480p for no reason. Buy once, have at least 2 cameras & a viewer.
