Is Alfred Camera any good?

Although Alfred Camera is a free app for PC and mobile, this free version is pretty limited. You can’t add more than one camera, you can’t record anything from your phone and the video resolution is SD.

However, the motion detection works seamlessly and the phone notifies you whenever the webcam detects any motion so you can watch live what’s happening.
