New Release

Have you ever thought of using your Windows Phone as a motion detector? Well, look no further! VIO, a motion detector application for Windows Mobile, is your companion. VIO uses the phone’s camera to capture and detect any motion.

The comparison is done by analyzing pictures square by square. The size of the squares can be defined from VIO, it will allow you to adapt the sensitivity as you wish. When motion is detected, VIO will do one of these 2 things; send emails containing pictures to the email address you defined or/and send SMS to alert you anywhere.
