How do I set the MOTION DETECT DELAY? Can't find it in the camera's menu nor in the user manual. Thanks!

There is no setting for the motion detect delay. On this camera it is about 3/4 to 1 second. You can set the delay between the first detection and the next detection. The minimum for time between detections is 5 seconds. The camera can be set to take a group of images (up to 4) in rapid succession when the camera detects motion. Those images can be as taken with as little as .03 seconds between each image.

You will need to contact the company Moultrie. I was very disappointed with this product. I hope you have better luck, and a lot of batteries. Some of the new Moultrie Cams have a MANDATORY 10 second delay, and it's causing me to miss a lot of action shots.

Each camera's motion sensitivity can be adjusted independently, for example Camera 1 can be set to high sensitivity while Camera 2 is set to medium sensitivity, and so on. You will need to adjust these based on your own situation to find what works for you. The "Trigger Recording Time" setting adjusts how long any camera will continue to record once motion stops. You can choose between 15 seconds, 30 seconds, and 60 seconds. Setting to a shorter time (like 15 seconds) will create shorter videos, but there is a chance that the camera will stop recording before whatever triggered the camera is actually gone (if it stops moving for 15 seconds) and you may end up with another separate video file being created when it starts moving again a few seconds later. On the other hand, the longer times (like 60 seconds) will create fewer files (because it is more likely that a single person triggering the camera will be completely captured in a single video file), but those files will be longer and have much more "empty" time where nothing is happening. It's a trade-off. I set mine to 30 seconds and that works well for me.

You can use the remote to switch the camera on/off, take still pictures or start/stop video recording. There is no time delay picture function.

I have been trying to do that same thing. Some scenes get messed up by the auto-exposure. A couple steps down in the settings you can change how bright or dark the picture is but that pesky auto-exposure is still active. Let's hope if they ever put up another firmware update that they include that functionality like when they added the timer function.

Yes. The camera has a "self timer" option. When composing your picture, pressing the Function button brings up the timer option where you can select the default 10 second delay, or choose an alternate time delay. Then press the shutter button and the camera will flash a warning light (and beep), increasing in speed until the shutter is released and the picture is taken.

First of all you have to have the camera set on 2 second delay. The sensor is on the right front side of the camera next to the shutter button, so it is necessary to be on that side of the front when you trigger the camera. The range of the trigger is not more than about 15 ft. Hope this helps.

You start and stop recording by pushing the record button. There is no 'pause' option that I'm aware of. The camera reacts quickly, so I'm not sure a pause option, at this level would prove to be of much use.

there is about a 1 second delay with taking pictures; at least, it is when i'm trying to take a picture of my dog. there is a mode to place the camera in for pets; i tried it once. i do believe there was still a delay but the picture wasn't blurry. hope this helps.

Hello Yes, there is a few second delay before it picks up motion which is normal because the battery goes into a "save battery mode" so when someone walk by and trigger it to start it will have a few second before it start recording again.

Yes you can set it at 2 or 10 seconds. There is also about a one second delay when recording video. This may just be the camera or a built in self timer to not record your hands.

The camera refers to motion detection as an "alarm". You can select what you want the camera to do once the motion is detected. In general, motion detection works by comparing the current video frame with the averages of the previous video frames. Any difference is considered to be motion, and the sensitivity adjustment can be used to make the camera more aware or less aware of small amounts of motion. The factory default setting for motion detection is a single motion detection window covering the entire visible area. The "Motion Detection" menu allows you to designate up to 4 separate windows with individually adjustable sensitivity. After selecting "Motion detection" from the main settings screen, you may need to expand the size of the display window towards the right to see the 4 controls for individual motion detection windows. Each window can have individually adjustable sensitivity and threshold. Please note that this "Motion Detection" menu is entirely optional and is generally not used unless you have very specific requirements to treat motion on some parts of the screen different from other parts.

the two i have do not work as they should.i dont think it has an on/off switch.it has settings controls. one controls sensitivity..the other time delayit has motion and light detection. there is a push switch but its not on/off but appears it might be but its not so.

You don't need instructions... Put the camera in Timer (or Timer 2) mode... point the remote at the front of the camera, and push the button... The switch on the back lets you choose instant or 2 second delay...

yes,first "select",then tap "timer". it starts show 0.5 for 30 minutes delay. keep taping timer to get what you want and let it go.

The camera is not motion activated. It can be heat sensing or time lapse. One or the other not both.

It is only a few seconds, maybe two or three. I used this camera for the first time this weekend on a getaway & had no issue with the slight delay. Still got great pictures.
