I dont know if it'll work with all cameras but it does work with the Mini Wireless Color Camera with Microphone. This only works with a power cord.

It will work with any camera that uses the RCA type plugs. It will work with a battery just use the same voltage as what the ac adapter puts out. I have not used the motion detection so I cannot answer that question.

DO you have other cameras and are they operating alright? Naturally check all the connections both at the camera and the recorder. Also look for any nicks or cuts at the exposed wires. I experienced a problem once when all the cameras stopped working and it turned out it was the power adapter that went out. I replaced this item and it worked just fine after that. This is a good camera for the money. I have two of these and they have been working for just over a year. I'm even thinking of replacing the other two cameras with one of these so please let me know how this turns out. Good luck

This unit is a camera only. It needs to be hard-wired into a dvr or computer. So it will depend on what dvr/computer you have and what software is running on it.

I have not used this device with either a camera or DVR. I have used it with an Insteon PIR motion detector. That was annoying as the hub itself. I have two of these hubs and if it wasn't for my Insteon light modules used throughout the house, I would have pitched them both in to the trash.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

The DVR has motion detection capability. Depending on the DVR, the motion detection will trigger an alarm, an email alert, an FTP of the image, and/or recording. The camera itself is just a camera. The camera does not use 120 Volts AC. It uses 12 volts DC that is powered via the included adapter. That adapter plugs into 120 volts AC, or you could connect the camera to another 12 volt DC power supply.

I used the standard camera type that came with the recorder but I don't see why it shouldn't work, you'll use a bit more memory but that isn't a big deal especially if you use the motion detector feature.

Hello Omar, This is a Camera disguised as a Motion sensor. It has no functional motion sensor built in. However if you were to use the camera functionality with a DVR that has an alarm out, you could program the DVR to send an alarm out signal anytime motion was detected by the Camera.

Because the camera uses "body heat" motion detection (which allows the battery to last in standby for so long) it does not work through glass very well, as glass insulates heat to some degree, which causes the camera not to be able to detect the heat very well. Also, the night vision sensors would reflect off glass as well, so if you're looking for a camera for vehicle security, we would recommend one of our other cameras that uses traditional motion detection.

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!

This camera connects to the DVR of the security system. You can then connect your DVR to a computer monitor and watch it that way. I have my security system connected to my TVs aux input. This camera only works in lighted areas, it can not see well in low light.

Yes I had this set up to record 24 hours, and another identical cam on a separate channel set up only to record when the motion detection was tripped. The record time is determined by the setting of the DVR. Go for a bigger or upgradable hardrive.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

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

This is Hybrid DVR, there have three work modes: 1.Work with analog camera only in dvr mode 2.Work with IP camera only in NVR mode 3. Work with both IP camera and analog camera in Hybrid mode.

Well to be accurate it doesn't have a stand alone motion sensor but it is capable of recording when motion is sensed through the camera. If using for a security camera i would suggest having an external power supply. Battery doesn't last very long. I get 3 hours max.

Hello Abraham, the Camera really needs to be connected to its own DVR, the software that comes with the equipment, only works by.... the software connects to the DVR and back and forth. Hope this helps.
