Nonsense update size
We have added some motion detection. I'll ask the developer.

How do you explain 5 TIMES bigger size of this app on new update???

@rafnov Thanks for reporting. The new version contains OpenCV dependency for motion detection feature, increasing the app size.
Apk analyzer suggests that F-Droid seems to use a universal APK, including all CPU architectures. Google Play APK reports only 12MB for my Samsung S22 due to architecture-specific apk delivery.
F-Droid forum suggests that F-Droid has supported the architecture-specific APK same as Google Play. So the apk size in F-Droid can be identical or very close to Google Play.
cc @izivkov for insight about the difference between publishing to F-Droid vs Google Play. I can also take a deeper look if I can access / be admin of the publishing process on Google Play and F-Droid.
I had this issue bebore, and was able to reduce the size with the folowing setting in build.gridle:
ndk { abiFilters "arm64-v8a", "armeabi-v7a" // Include only the ABIs you need }
This basically forces it to use only arm-based architecure.
I have also updated the libraries to newer version and I have checked in the code to the repository.
I will create a new version for F-DROID and PlayStore soon.
Done! I created and submitted v3.4 for both F-DROID and PlayStore. F-DROID takes about a week to publish the new version.
Seems done in Google Play. 1st I've installed app there, it was ~12MB, now 3.4 update appeared, which was 1.7MB.
