to use motion detecting security camera that'll send email of a pic or video, does that take a lot of work or coding or additional Rpi setup?

It's not a plug in play solution. Yes you will have to set it up. The good news is that it's been done before and documented online. Some simple linux commands, copying and pasting and you'll should be able to get it up and running. You may need to tweak some settings in order to get it running right. So it may be some what of a learning process. The link to the blog I use is below.http://jeremyblythe.blogspot.com/2012/06/motion-google-drive-uploader-and.html

There's a program in the Debian repositories called motion, and instructions online (visit your favorite search engine) to configure it to use the Raspberry Pi camera module. I don't have that version installed on the Pi anymore, so can't provide explicit advice, but it DID work. Best of luck!

It works well but it not as stable and smooth as a commercial solution. It took me several hours of reading articles and tinkering with setup to get what I wanted. In the end, the setup is fairly simple but it took a while to get comfortable with. Start with these articles...http://rbnrpi.wordpress.com/project-list/setting-up-wireless-motion-detect-cam/ and http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/665518/Raspberry-Pi-as-low-cost-HD-surveillance-camera and http://www.raspberrypi.org/camera

You can set it up to take a motion activated snapshot and send it to your email.

the motion detectors are a function of the cameras. The DVR will record what it is sent. Depending on how good the cameras are, the video is very good.

The Email is a bit of a pain to set up. However, once you get it to work it works fine. I set it to give me alerts on a motion event. Which it does perfectly.

I own this one and there's no PIR sensor. It relies on motion detection using the software built in to the camera itself. You log in to the admin account of the camera through the internal webserver and set it up from there. This little camera does a LOT for the money. But if you're not tech-savvy, I'd avoid it. D-link doesn't have the best documentation or customer service in the world. But if you're good at teaching yourself some networking skills, this is a great little IP camera.

Thanks for your question.This system support motion detect and email alerts, thanks.

Hi Sir, I've sent the file how to set up motion detection to your email box,please kindly check it.

Yes the unit has motion detection. You can vary the sensitivity and you can also specify the parts of the picture that should be sensitized. That way you can ignore things that normally move like bushes and trees, rocking chairs etc. Yes it does E-mail or FTP to a location you define. I have also found apps for he iPhone that work quite well remotely. it is called MEyeProHDV4. I think I paid a couple bucks for it, but I saw that there was a free version as well. User interface on the box has lots of features and seems to work ok. I had some confusion setting the time, but it was not hard to make it display the correct time. The daylight savings time is a bit weird. Overall the unit has been doing well over the last couple years. No failures, camera mounts are as tough as I would like, but they have not broken.

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.

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. Working great for me with it set on 65 sensitivity, and for 30 second "Intervals", with "All the time" there's motion detection. Can't stress the sensitivity levels enough.

The software Foscam ships with this unit does not have this capability. It allows you to monitor the video in a small window and take snapshots manually. You can set it up to trigger on motion and send you emails with the snapshots attached. There may be third party software for this camera for continuous video capture but I do not know of any. Also the note that the wireless does not seem to be able to use a password if you have a secured router. My wireless router will only operate secured with a password so I had to plug a separate wireless access point into the router so the camera could send wirelessly to the non secured access point. I could not find another way around this with the software Foscam provides.

No. The motion detection would be controlled by the DVR. This is a standard analog camera with infrared for night vision.

Yes, but let me be clear, it is not a set and forget, recording to local computer is done only when logged into the camera's web page (then it can be set and forget...as long as the page stays open on the computer), the default location is C:\IPCamRecord. This will also work for motion detection (alarm) recording, but again, the web page has to be open to record to local PC / Mac. If you insert an SD card, Motion Detection will record regardless of the web page being up or not. I hope that makes sense.

Put the camera on motion detection and will email you of any motion. Don't keep the camera on all the time leave it on motion.

Negative. Even with the app running the audio is poor. Hope this helps. As a side, the email alerts do not work properly. Even with a strong Wi Fi signal, I continue to get many false motion detected email alerts. Belkin even switched out all my cameras but still have the same problem.

no it sends message to email on motion detection but i found it easier to run from the computer as it functioned better, was using ispy as it is a freeware and helped fix the issue with the delay in recording.

I'm only using it as a camera connected to DVR. I have not used any other features that may be on the camera. I am unaware that it has motion detection built in. Regards
