Did you manage to setup motion detection for this camera? I'd like to setup just 1 (one) zone, as big as the camera whole field of view. The purpose is to record all the guests (postman, etc.) approaching the entrance door, where the camera will be...

I'm using this camera with Blue Iris software and it does the motion detection. I have tried to get the Grandstream software to work with no success. The Blue Iris software just runs in Windows 7. I did get the IP phone in the camera to work with Asterisk. The camera auto answers the phone and I can talk and hear anyone close to the camera.

Mine is set only 6 feet from the door. I am sure it would work at 20 or more feet from the door. It does not work by detecting movement in a room. You will need to find a fixed location so it can have the door or window you are trying to protect in view. It could even be aimed so you could view multiple door or windows. Once you have it set up it will detect if the door or window frame changes (because it has been opened) and will begin recording.

I use mine at home and it is always set to motion, it is always on and running. Every time it picks up on movement it will chime and take a short 5 sec video at that exact time. The monitor will flash on top of screen letting me know that it has recorded something. You can then go in through settings to see what it picked up on. I absolutely love mine, although at times the signal strength is not the best do to it having to travel through 3 walls. I couldn't place it in the living room where I wanted it because it was too far from the camera itself.

Yes. Motion can be enabled or disabled on a per camera basis. Area of motion detected is also easily adjusted per camera. For instance, you need to exclude a bush that blows in the breeze - you simply mark boxes within a grid to disable detection. Similarly, recording is also set on a per camera basis. Time restraint recording also per camera. It's a nice system! I've had mine on 24/7 for 2 years with no problems. The box says they're good to 10 degrees, mine had no problems with -25 temps last week.

It will "work" with and iPhone or iPad. The motion zones have to be configured with a Java capable browser, so that portion will not be configurable via those devices. These camera use standard streaming protocols, there are plenty of Apps that work with security cameras. Hope this helps!

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

Hi you set it up in camera set up zone 1 or 1/2 you can just set zone 1 to cover the full camera vue or a small part of the zone eg just the gate or the full area !! You can have it spot a cat or a person by adjusting the sensetiverti of the setting on your computer hope this helps !! This is a good system for the price and I've changed my full system to this from £1000 cameras ??

If you want to have security footage in two areas.....we have three...one in back, one in front and one on side...especially if your house has access to the back through a drive or space between neighbors without a tall fence....liability wise also...we film the front because of the sidewalk....and walk way

I use and app on my iPhone called iCam. I have multiple cameras at my home and work and all of them show up on my iOS devices. Additionally I can choose to record motion event and or send me text notifications when there is motion. Works flawlessly.

it really depends on what resolution you are recording in. the more detail the more space is needed. Mine records 24 hrs a day and just loops. If I go away I lower the resolution and set the non entrance cameras to record on motion.

Tom, honestly I don't remember, but it will keep recording. What I love about the camera is that I can set it to record certain times or I can set it to when there's motion sensed to record. It let's you set motion zones from where you want motion to set off the camera. This is convenient because if you have pets you can set the motion zone higher off the ground to where your cats, dogs, etc won't set it off. The best part is that it records audio very well too. The only thing is because it is connected to the internet there is a 3 second delay, but to me that's not much of a con with all the other pros. I hope this helps.

First, I'm in the market to buy this camera, I don't own one. I'm not trying to complain about the posts so far, but I'm wondering if you are simply using the auto mode when indoors, or have you tried other modes (Indoor Mode), ISO speeds, etc that the camera comes equipped with? If the images are "VERY POOR", what exactly have you tested? (Others report indoor images have been good).

You can set it to record on at schedule an take photos by motion detection on a schedule and it has an option to send an email... I have not used the email though so not sure how that works but there is a place in it's setup to enter the information for that.

Your using it to monitor the exterior of your home from the interior of your home directly through a window? If so, I don't have an answer for that. It wouldnt expect it to do that, it is not the proper camera to do so. Get an exterior camera with the proper width and leds to do so. Just for example, have you ever tried to recording through the inside of your house to the outside with your camcorder. It's never worked very well, very bad focus. Look into an exterior cam. Mine works great.

Not really. It is designed as a flexible and good recording/webcam. There is nothing that activates it through motion. It is very good at what it does but I think you may be better served with something designed to a surveillance camera's specific job...

Mine didn't work in low light. I had problems and never could get it to work unless I was right there pressing the record button. Also, when I asked, I was told this was motion and light activated but mine would only work with noise and it had to be loud. Just opening a door wouldn't activate it like I had thought it would.

It records as soon as someone ring the doorbell. I forgot to check if it does have a motion detector. You can't access the recorded feed remotely. It is meant to show you who's outside the door when your home without peeking at the peephole plus taping it so you know who tried to visit you while you're gone. It is really a fun useful gadget. I have it in my condo in Asia. If you want to access the feed remotely and record it in an sweetdreams card, I have the security camera at the house here for that. And yes, it has a motion detector, light sensor so it can record in the dark etc. pretty much what you wanted. I can't use this in the condo since the association is pretty strict about the common space which I'm perfectly fine with. Have a great weekend.
