MoFind — Quickly Find Motion Events in Long Videos
MoFind is built for long-video review. It is designed for long, mostly static recordings such as security-camera, doorbell, and trail-cam footage, so you can avoid manually scrubbing frame by frame.
MoFind scans videos on-device offline and turns motion moments into a browsable event list with start time, duration, motion score, and thumbnails.
If long recordings often slow you down—surveillance overnight footage, doorbells repeatedly capturing empty scenes, or overnight trail-camera captures—MoFind helps you jump straight to moments where movement actually happens.
Core MoFind Experience
1. One scan, skip dead segments
You do not need to scrub every frame. MoFind gives you a complete motion-event list so you can jump straight from quiet segments to action moments.
Each event includes:
- Start time
- Duration
- Motion score
- Keyframe thumbnails
This is useful for fast re-checks of night footage, front-door activity detection, and field monitoring.
2. Define what counts as motion more precisely
- Detection region: Draw a focus area in the frame to reduce unrelated movement.
- Sensitivity: Choose low, medium, high, or a custom threshold.
- Time range: Scan only the portion you care about instead of the entire file.
Combined, these options significantly reduce false positives caused by light changes, shadow shifts, and similar noise.
3. Structured export for review and follow-up
MoFind supports annotated exports with:
- Motion boxes
- Timecodes
- Motion scores
You can also export detected events as separate clips (a Pro feature), useful for evidence organization, handoff, and follow-up review.
4. Cross-device, on-device processing
MoFind works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- iPhone: Review key moments on the go.
- iPad: Review details more efficiently on a larger screen.
- Mac: Process long, high-resolution videos with more room to work.
Most importantly:
- Videos are not uploaded to the cloud.
- All processing is done on your device.
That keeps privacy more predictable and speeds up review.
Supported formats and use cases
MoFind supports MP4, M4V, and MOV encoded with H.264/H.265 by default.
On macOS, it can also handle more common formats with compatibility processing.
Common use cases include:
- Quick inspection of home or neighborhood security video
- Detecting visitors or unusual events from doorbell footage
- Filtering target activity from overnight trail-cam recordings
- Monitoring pets, front-entrance activity, and passing vehicles
Free and Pro
- Free: Supports one video, up to 30 minutes, one detection region
- Pro: Supports longer videos, multi-video queue, multiple detection regions, and event clip export/sharing
This tiering works for most users: start with Free, then upgrade to Pro when your workflow needs more.
Who is this for?
- Security and surveillance reviewers who need faster location of relevant segments.
- Workflows that need compact motion summaries for efficient second-stage processing.
- Privacy-conscious users who want all review and export to stay on-device.
- Anyone handling long videos who wants results instead of watching everything.
MoFind’s positioning is straightforward: move you away from long quiet footage and keep only moments worth paying attention to.
