how does the motion detect work? does it just automatically start recording when it detects a motion?

Motion detector is a fake in this one. They advertise it to sell it. But besides, this is a good camera.

I have never used the motion detect, but honestly there are probably better units then this one since I didnt get the EXACT same unit posted.

hi when you chose the motion detection , your camera will start recording as soon as there is a movement in front of the visual fields . and if you have two cameras (front and back) it will still work that way for both of them .

I asked myself the same question until I realized that this product has no motion detector feature. This is fake. They only put a sticker on the box for the advertising. Let me know if you can do it otherwise let the product have a bad review.

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.

That depends on your DVR system, if you have motion detect recording then it is motion sensor activated.

yes the system can be setup to record upon motion. i have mine setup to record constantly, so i don't have much experience on how exactly to do it. i also know that you can set it up to email you if a camera is triggered by motion. hope this helps

The unit does not record video but your computer can. Software is available from many vendors for free or at cost to record the output or you can have the units send snapshots of activity when motion occurs.

What the "motion detect" does is record only movement such as a person walking by the camera or if the camera itself moves, like when someone hits your car. In between this nothing is recorded. If motion detect is set to off it only records while you are driving/moving, but once the car is no longer in motion it will not record something like someone walking around your car.

Yes, it does. You can find it in the settings once you connect it to the PC... there are two options given - 0 & 1, for normal mode and for motion detection respectively. Change the settings as per your requirement/ convenience and save it as instructed. I haven't yet tested the motion detecting mode though have already set it in the setting background. It's always good to set it as per the need in advance ;)

I don't know how it does it but, the camera records video clips perfectly when motion is detected. It records you just enough before and after motion is detected to give you exactly what you need to see. You will have to adjust sensitivity to tweak the camera based upon your installation location, very easy. I absolutely LOVE this product!!!

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.

I dont know exactly how you plan to use it, but this allows you to calibrate the level of movement you want to trigger the recording, so you could say it is motion activated.

Motion detection works by comparing the current frame to the previous frame. In other words, it is an image subtraction. If enough pixels show a big enough change in RGB values, the camera's algorithm considers it be motion. The camera's built in algorithm is OK but rather simplistic. Software such as Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs have more sophisticated motion detection algorithms.

It has motion senors built in. If anything walks within the field of vision it will auto record if you set that feature up.

It has a motion sensor that activate recording as soon the vehicle starts running. I don't use it, because it causes the camera to stop recording while in a red light.

Depending on how you configure the system, they will do either. You can also set it up to have an individual camera to either record all the time of be motion sensitive. It is a remarkably flexible device.

No, there is not a motion detect mode. The record button must be pressed on either the camera or the app. Also the camera will automatically power off after 5 mins on standby.

You have the option of setting how long the unit will record for. For example, you can set it to record for 30 seconds upon each motion detection.

No it does not. Its recorded automatically to your hard drive if motion is detected.
