gCMOB
How fast does the live view load in gCMOB?
The live view loads very quickly—you can be watching your driveway in under 10 seconds after opening the app. This makes it ideal for checking motion alerts without delay, especially during work calls or busy moments.
Does gCMOB let you set motion detection zones?
No, gCMOB does not offer fine control like drawing specific alert zones on your camera's view. This means you may get notifications for every squirrel or shadow, which can be a bit annoying if you want to filter out minor movements.
What should I do if gCMOB freezes while switching between camera feeds?
If the app freezes, a simple force-close and restart usually resolves the issue. This happened to one user while rapidly switching feeds, but the app worked normally again after relaunching.
Why am I getting too many motion alerts from gCMOB?
This happens because gCMOB lacks customizable motion zones, so it triggers on any movement in the camera's entire field of view. You can't filter out pets or passing cars, but the alerts are instant and reliable for catching real events.
How does gCMOB compare to the software that came with my security cameras?
Unlike the clunky, bloated software that often comes with security cameras, gCMOB is lightweight and focuses on simple live viewing and instant alerts. It won't win design awards, but it's free, connects easily to off-brand cameras, and gets the job done much faster.
