How well does motion detection work? False positives (shadows, wind, bugs, etc) ?

Not too many when my DVR worked. I recall about 1-2 false positives per day. Not bugs, but any major lighting changes triggers it.

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.

No this unit doesn't have motion detection and only takes a photo when someone presses the doorbell button or you press a button from inside. I can't recommend it and suggest you find another supplier. This unit has marginal quality, mine had dead pixels, and batteries die too frequently.

Yes, but you can turn on live monitoring as soon as you receive a motion detection notice. On my network there is a ten second delay, which is ok for me.

Sorry but I do not use the motion detectio0n feature. I do agree that the instructions are poor.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it also have a web interface which is 200% better than the app it come with in the cd. however its motion detection is software based, so it'll misfire frequently when there's change in lighting, or camera pan, etc

My camera was set to send an email when it detected motion. It was aimed through a front window towards the street and would send emails day or night when a car or person went by. It was useful for monitoring when a delivery was made to my front door. It would sometimes even send an email during lightning storms, probably due to the sudden change in brightness outside. I do not know how it detects motion, however.

It worked flawlessly with z-wave. No issues in installing or cnfiguring the setup. I have not tried setting up motion sensor based scenes, but I belive you can do that.

It's not motion detected; it's turned on/off via remote control and stays on until you turn it off. I love it!

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

Yes. I actually sent my stealth can back (would show a large number of pics when sd card was in the unit. When i would get the card home there would only be a few pics). But every camera will see trees blowing in the wind as motion. You can adjust the sensitivity but will still see some wind motion. Especially if you put you're cam on a tree that is easily moved by wind. Your cam will think the hole world is moving. Lol

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. There's also a recent firmware update for (DCS-932L)to 2.01 - probably the same with other cameras.

The camera has motion detection built in but the notification is via email (it actually sends a few screenshots of what set it off in the notification which is nice). If you have your email setup with push notifications or periodic fetching then it'll pop up on your phone that way.

HD is not working when motion detection is active. Pixel Resolution is so BAD.

Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.

The only way to see the motion detection video clips on your PC, whether or not you have an internet connection, is to pop out the SD card and put put it in an SD card reader (your PC must have one, or you can use a USB card reader device). The most annoying thing about this Uniden system is the fact that you cannot view any motion detection clips remotely. You must have physical access to the SD card. This was a deal killer for me. I returned the system.

Yes, it has motion detection. Great camera; I get clear pictures in color with daylight and black and white w/infrared.

I beleive there is a delay and it will only alert if there's motion from my experience. I'm not using it right now because of too much traffic so I can't be too specific. So intentionally no.
