If there is motion detected by more than one camera at the same time, will all cameras be recorded?

depends on mode of the display unit. If in multi-camera mode then yes will record all. However audio is only captured when in single camera mode.

Yes. You can define up to 4 different areas for motion detection, even overlapping regions.

It detects sudden movements (for example a collision). The camera would lock the video file it's recording in the event of an accident so that it wouldn't be over-written

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!

No, if: 1. You are using 9 or less cameras on the same network. These cameras support SD card recording, and the browser plugin and mobile app allow simultaneous viewing and management of up to 9 cameras. 2. You are using more than 9 cameras, but don't need to centrally view and manage all of them at once. Each camera can also simultaneously record to a designated computer on their local network, in addition to SD card recording.Yes, if: You want to centrally view and/or manage more than 9 cameras on the same network, or view/manage cameras that are on separate networks.

Foscam maybe, I am not sure. There is an app on IOS called Live cameras that will give you multiple screens and control over all your cameras.

It cannot record in Quad view meaning showing all 4 cameras on the screen at the same time. You can record on the automatic channel scroll view which automatically scrolls through all the cameras (one by one) installed on the system and records the images for each camera you have set up as it scrolls through each channel. In the overwrite mode, you can have it record all the time and when the SD card is full it will start to overwrite older recordings.

No I don't believe so. You can set the motion detection to alert you and then you can choose to record what is going on in view of the camera or take individual snapshots.

We have two cameras set to the motion sensing and do not record while the other six are recording. I didn't find anything in the manual (you can find this on line) on this but our security company installer did this for us.

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

Yes. Motion can be enabled or disabled on a per camera basis. Area of motion detected is also easily adjusted per camera. For instance, you need to exclude a bush that blows in the breeze - you simply mark boxes within a grid to disable detection. Similarly, recording is also set on a per camera basis. Time restraint recording also per camera. It's a nice system! I've had mine on 24/7 for 2 years with no problems. The box says they're good to 10 degrees, mine had no problems with -25 temps last week.

Yes depending on the software You use most software has both detections will work I'm using a video adapter for my laptop. capture software is Contacam. The cameras for the price

The camera has the capability to do motion sensing but it ultimately depends on your DVR supporting motion recording. So the answer to your question is yes.

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

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

Yes, you can get both, and also motion detection. The motion detection isn't perfect but 95% works. (it saves files of 5 minutes) Sometimes u get it recoring for a very little thing moving (an insect) and sometimes (few times) it starts "late" (when movement was already started earlier). Anyway, in my case, im very happy with the camera.
