What distances does it record at in motion-sensor mode?

It depends on how sensitive you set the sensitivity slider motion-sensor. Too sensitive, and you get the breeze blowing any trees at a far distance. Ours works at about 300 feet and we had to turn the sensitivity to about 1/4 up. Otherwise, it records everything you don't want to record.

It covers a large room indoors. I have it in the dining room and it covers all entrances. The biggest weakness is it needs good light to work well. So, at night I have to leave a light on to capture good images.

No motion detection on the camera itself. Most dvrs have motion detection recording though.

Depending on the location of the camera, I have gotten between 60 and 90 feet for the motion detector to activate. The quality of daylight pictures is very good and the night quality is good as well.

The camera has the capability to do motion sensing but it ultimately depends on your DVR supporting motion recording. So the answer to your question is yes.

yes you can record 8 continuous hours because I leave mine on in my office and it is setup for motion sensor recording continuously

To be honest with you I haven't installed my cameras yet but I've installed three motion detector lights and they work in the 35-40 feet range so hopefully these cameras will too. I should have mine installed in a few weeks so check back a little later for the most up to date answer.

No motion sensor. Also, recording pauses if you play a song. You can set it to resume when the song is over, but it's a roll of the dice. The manual claims that there are all sorts of settings and button functionalities. But they seem to work on an arbitrary basis. The only thing it does consistently is record whilst looking like a clock. I wouldn't rely on it for much else.

I had the same question so I moved the camera around the house. So far, walking down hallways, etc., it works at about 70 feet. I am very pleased with that.

Yes the recorder recognizes motion in various sensitivity, that being said the detection is that of half of the visual distance. The recording time line will show red as to alarm. The sample increments can also be varied.

When you set the motion mode in the menu it is very sensitive to any motion, whether it is a movement of the car/camera or just something passing in front of it. As long as it has power it will record approximately 1 minute segments every time it detects motion.

The motion detector always activates at 30 feet but sometimes at 50 feet. Intervening branches probably interfere. I'm very happy with picture quality, battery life, and with this camera overall.

There isn't any sort of motion sensor on this particular unit and therefore the comment about detection range isn't relevant. This unit operates on a light sensor, from dusk to dawn or however long the batteries allow (8 to 10 hours per full charge).

Keep in mind the range for the motion sensor to operate is approx 40'. Also there is a visible red flash, while not very bright, may invite a vandals attention.

The manual implies up to 50 feet. I deliberately aimed my unit to try and cover a limited area, but it seems to detect people at about 25', cats at about 12' and moving cars at about 40'. I'm sure the range would be greater if I aimed the sensor up a bit more.

It will mark on the video feed sections where it sensed motion, and you can set the sensitivity. It also lets you send a email, but I have never tired that. Unfortunately my motion capture seems to be having issues. Where it would normally mark the video in red where it sees motion I get sections of video that are missing, I have tried replacing the main DVR (NVR) but I still have the issue. The issue was not happening when I first got my unit, so not sure what caused it to start happening and others do not seem to have this issue.

it will record 2 hours after the motion sensor is activated, however - though the battery life would seem to be longer - you cannot get it to do anything beyond the two hours without reactivating it; I do not recommend it for the motion sense function, but otherwise it is good.

Page 4 of the manual States: Camera records video when an animal is detected by the motion sensor. During daylight hours the camera will record 5, 15, or 30 seconds in length. During night the camera will record a video with a maximum length of 10 seconds. The video length is co figurable in SETTINGS.
