Windows motion activated screen recorder freeware? Does it exist?
I am trying to set up an old Android phone as a motion activated wi-fi
camera with the phone permanently on power taped to a window pane.
I looked it up and got halfway there with this reddit thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/14r8u7u/motion_detection_using_old_android_phone_camera/
That free app sets up a local web server which displays whatever is on the phone's camera output which creates a closed circuit Wi-Fi TV on the PC.
But the phone camera isn't a motion activated recording.
It's just a live TV display of whatever is happening visible to the phone.
What I want is if the PC window "shows motion", then the PC can save the window as an image (or better yet as a five second video of the motion).
Does motion activated recording software exist for the Windows PC that will be able to sense motion inside an otherwise static application window?

Is this for a toilet ?
There are motion activated phone apps, and there is computer software
"motion activated".
I can not recommend any, just that it does exist.
I would use a PIR (passive, infrared) sensor, which triggers on warm-bodied objects
as small as a mouse. You would place the PIR in a different location
than the camera, since the PIR needs noise sources to be out of the
field of view to work properly.

There are motion activated phone apps, and there is computer softwareI'm currently testing your suggestion on the Android ng of the Android APK "Motion Detector Pro" but I'm hoping to also the suggestion of running the
"motion activated".

PC Motion Eye tools, which seem to be how people do PC motion detection.

I don't have either working yet, so if there are any other PC solutions, please let me know because it's useful to repurpose an old phone this way.

Sounds like you are using the camera in the phone like a webcam, so most webcam software should work.

Thanks for that suggestion of webcam software which I'm unfamiliar with.
I almost never used a webcam except on a laptop to do zoom conferences.
Do typical webcam applications also do motion detection?
If so, all I'd need is that motion-detection software if it also works with the Android phone. But isn't that a lot to ask of typical webcam software?
Does anyone here know of webcam software that also does motion detection?
And which works with an Android phone as the camera input over the LAN?
Has anyone here ever tried any of those apps and has been successful
at using a spare Android as a motion detector controlled on the PC?
If you do it all on the phone, you wouldn't need to involve the PC at all.
Someone who has used both might be able to help you choose between them.

This article has a few more ideas, some of which were covered already.
