can each channel/camera have its own settings for when it is recording (motion, timer, etc)?

Yes and with TV or monitor or laptop or I phone it shows a green dot in left bottom of each camera screen, if it's syncing motion at that time the dot will turn yellow.

The cameras are configured individually. You can copy the settings between cameras however.

Yes, such recording features are controlled by the DVR (digital video recording, or the security system to which these cameras connect), not the camera. So cameras capture the images, take them back via cables to the channels you designated on the DVR. Go into DVR Menu for recording and tell it what channel(s) are motion-sensor recording, continuous reocrding, no recording and whatever other recording options your DVR offers. Also for further info/clarification, call your DVR Tech Support.

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.

The camera stays on full time. Within the setup, you can set up zones by blocking out everything except the front door for examples. Then when it see's motion, the recording starts. There is also a sensitivity setting associated with each camera for motion.

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

Yes it will only record when switching between cameras or just one camera, but not two at the same time.

You can set this camera to record a short video clip when it detects motion using the Foscam IP Camera Tool program. The problem is you have to keep the window open in IE all the time or it won't record. I use Blue Iris software to manage my video cameras and much prefer that to the IP Camera Tool.

Not that I'm aware of. Once you turn it on and wait 5-7 seconds, it starts recording.

Like all camera's it has the creation date and time in the file properties of your video's, however there's no visible time-stamp on the screen. Maybe it's in there as an option, but i personally wouldn't consider ruining my video's by doing this.

Yes. You can set the specs you need in Preferences before you start recording.

Both day and night and you can set them to record only when there is motion as well as adjustment for sensitivity of that motion. Great buy!

Hi, No, I just tried it and it won't do it. At least not when I just hit record and then tried to change channels, it wouldn't allow me to. I would assume it would be the same on timer recordings too. Thinking about it, it would have to have a dual tuner for you to be able to do that. One tuned to what's recording, and another tuned to a different channel, and I'm sure it's not a dual tuner setup. You can however watch another program that you already have recorded to the hard drive at the same time as you are recording. Hope this helps...

There is a servo connection that attaches to the camera. This allows remote trigger of it. Also to change modes from still to video.

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 camcorder has a continuous function (Burst mode) and self timer mode. You will find both settings in Recording Menu 2 together with the Panorama, Flash, Photo view, and Auto review.
