The motion detection has been much improved by the addition of the 1/2 second setting. This cuts down on erroneous motion detection if the camera hiccups or drops a frame. However, 1/2 is kind of long. Could you add 2 frames, 3 frames, 4 frames, etc? Perhaps up to 8 or so. This would filter out the errant dropped frame, but allow quicker response to motion events.
Also, In the pre capture setting, it would be very helpful to be able to set this by frames, or at least by 1/4 and 1/2 second.
When you are scrolling through a list of captured files, looking for someone who has gone through a door for instance, a whole second of pre capture is too much because the first frame of the video does not contain the persons face, only the closed door. More granular timing control here would allow the user to adjust the timing so the persons face was always visible in the poster frame of the movie, precluding the need to play each video clip to identify the person.
Cheers to version 4!

Thanks for your feedback. In the latest version (4.0.5), the poster frame of the movie (used for the thumbnails in the list of files via the web server) will be the time of the motion trigger, not the first frame of the movie. So no matter what trigger time you set, this image should contain the actual event that triggered motion capture. This should prevent the need to actually play the movie to check what happened.
