I realize it has the motion feature but is having the Panasonic wall control needed or at all useful in any application?

Inside the fan it has two switches one you turn for cfm in low speed if you want to use it all the time and when it detects motion go to high cfm for given time then go back to low cfm the wall switch is just a override for the fan to turn it off completely you can go to Panasonic s web sit and put in the model number and get the pdf of the installation manual it has another way to wire it in to and the materials you will need to install it. If you are replacing a old fan you might need to get bigger exhaust piping to move the max cfm I think when I put in i had 4in and I had to put in 5 in. If you don't .size piping correctly you will have ..higher back pressure and can damage the motor over time.

The remote control unit on the wall and the handheld has separate buttons for the fan speed, gyro rotation and stop, and the light control. So I am able to control all separately. Hope this answers your question.

I assume you're asking, "I don't need ...". That's correct. The camera/clock is self contained, needing nothing but A/C power. You will, however, find it better to view the captured videos on a computer. Better, not necessary. By the way, the video quality is much better than I expected. Much better. I wish it had WiFi, but it doesn't. The setup is, in my opinion, overly complex, but it does give you a lot of control. Also, motion detect runs for a fixed 5 minutes after it comes on. That's too long in my opinion. This produces a lot of unwanted video to scan thru.

Motion detection on the NVR is pretty poor. It's supposedly possible to perform the motion detection in the camera which may work better (depending on the model and rev of camera), but I haven't been able to set that up yet. The settings are very unintuitive and not well documented.

I tried the wall mount only briefly and didn't like it because it sticks straight out from the wall and is up too high when I replaced my regular wall mount phone with the Panasonic. You'll have to purchase a wall mount plate, if you don't already have one, and then the little plastic piece which comes separately with the phone slips over the buttons on the plate and the base then clips on to that. I decided to keep my wired kitchen phone on the wall and put the Panasonic on my desk. It's always a good idea to have one wired phone in the house anyway b/c the Panasonic will not work without electricity.

Yes. The 900 controls my DVR behind the wall with the blaster and the TV and sound bar in front of the wall without. At least it did before it died.

As I know, there is no special function needed for stop motion recording. Some kind of remote control may be desirable (and is not included). Good luck

Thanks for all the replies. I've gotten used to it so it's not a deal breaker for me. I guess I did not pay close attention to the description and I assumed it had a light sensor as well as the motion sensor.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

Motion sensor functionality is usually a feature of the dvr you use, not the camera. That said, my DVR has motion sensing and the feature works fine with this camera.

its a feature that is controlled by your security dvr, not the camera. so yes on my stem, it will motion detect/record.

On the average, no. The advantage of this is ease of use and low profile. Also consider what you're trying to do, you can get motion 'video' from this but it's not super - good enough for the security camera I built - delay is too great to be applicable to most motion needs. It's mainly useful for taking stills whether you make your own handheld camera or put it on a robot. If I were buying again and needed something for motion I'd use a $30 webcam instead but if I just needed stills I'd stick with this.

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

According to Panasonic.. no. I tried using a three speed motor control.. and i burned out the controller. Now it is connected to simple on off switch.

This fan has a remote control with a holster for wall mounting. No need to buy a wall control unless you want one. Also, the light is LED, so you might have to be careful using a different remote control.

For the hand-held remote, nothing additional needed and it will work nicely with a direct wired fan (mine is that way). I did not opt to go with the wall switch because it's really not necessary. The hand-held remote is great.

You can when you are using manual activation and no when you are using motion sensor,but, you really dont need to. At least we have not. We just love it!
