Can it be set to take photos when activated by motion or is it just constantly taking pics at intervals?

Hi Elena,In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

Yes, you can get both, and also motion detection. The motion detection isn't perfect but 95% works. (it saves files of 5 minutes) Sometimes u get it recoring for a very little thing moving (an insect) and sometimes (few times) it starts "late" (when movement was already started earlier). Anyway, in my case, im very happy with the camera.

This is a great camera but there are so many features I don't know them all yet. I'm almost certain I remember reading that it has a self-timer, but I haven't used that so I don't know if it applies to more than one pic.

as far as a timer on it, yes it does have it. I used it at the Christmas 2013 gathering. It takes some exordinary pictures. you'll definitely be taken what the ones you capture with. as far as the continuous flashes, I've never really used it. that gives me another accomplishment for this year.

It is motion activated. It has three settings for sensitivity to choose from - Hi, Med, and Low. Also, it can be set up to take a picture every minute and it will still take a picture in this mode if motion is detected.

The camera is independent from the transmitter and the on/off procedure is awkward and primitive. The camera is activated manually by a tiny button (push once) on the side of the quad.. The button (pushed again) turns the camera off. It's video only. No still photos.

The camera is not motion activated. It can be heat sensing or time lapse. One or the other not both.

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.

Yes it has a motion activated recording with how long you want it to record after it is started. It also can send you a snapshot to your phone when it senses motion. If you have a tree branch in part of the view you can go in and set that channel to just ignore that section of the camera view. That option is hard to explain with out pictures to help. The receiver is very veritable.

Yes there is the option for infinite shutter actuations (ie photos taken). You can just set the interval and bulb times and then select the "infinite" tab in the app. Theoretically your camera should keep going until the batteries run out. My suggestion would be to download the app so that you can get familiar with the control settings. Overall, I'd recommend this unit very highly. Also the support people are great and got back to me immediately, so if you have questions I'm sure they'll do the same. Also with the App, there's the possibility of updating it to improve future functionality. ;-)p

It doesn't specifically do that; once you press the button, the camera (if you have it on Automatic) will adjust focus and then take the photo immediately after!

It can be set either apiture or shutter priority. It has settings for night shots, and just about any thing you need.

You could set the time lapse function to take pics only during darkness hours if you wish. It will not take motion activated pics when it is in time lapse mode. It will use up batteries quite fast in the time lapse mode if you have it take pics frequently, like every 30 seconds or a minute. A set of AA batteries will be used up in about 4 days if the cam is set to take a pic every 30 seconds from daylight to dark, in my experience.

Hi Stephanie. The camera is motion activated so it will take pictures as long the movement continues. You will set it up initially, anywhere from 2 seconds up between shots. It can also be set up to take a 10 second video. I would highly recommend it. It works great in all kinds of weather. ~Celeste

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.
