if this is out front, pointed at the driveway. will car lights make it record or just physical motion?

I have not used that particular model, but I have placed other models in driveways. The changing light results in a 2-3 second "blindness" while the CCDS adjust. I have compensated by positioning the camera to the side of the driveway in one case and by adding a second side camera in another. If you are ble to mount the camera high enough, D-link claims you would not have the problem, but my installations were all too low.

I do not have this particular camera model. But, Yes, On all my others car lights will activate it.

The light is really small but it's bright enough to hit the road. It will let cars know you're there but it's not going to light the entire roadway.

Hello, dear customer, This camera can record all movements photographed in the lens. And if you car supply 12V car charger , that is OK. it is just a camera, no limit about the car mode. If any other problems, please just feel free to tell us. It is our great honor to serve you. Best regards, Lemonbest

We put ours too close to the entrance of our circle drive and it usually failed to alert for cars coming in if they drove close to that side. It never failed to alert on cars exiting the driveway. The range is really good so if you have room place it a few feet back.

No.If your car outlet connect straight to the battery you car record on parking lot,but you gonna kill battery.

No - it's just an analog composite video output to your head unit, so the camera has no idea where these objects are or in which direction the car is turning

If you have given direct battery connection, it can record vandalism at front and the rear with the motion sensor. But there is no video coverage at the sides.

What the "motion detect" does is record only movement such as a person walking by the camera or if the camera itself moves, like when someone hits your car. In between this nothing is recorded. If motion detect is set to off it only records while you are driving/moving, but once the car is no longer in motion it will not record something like someone walking around your car.

A red light (led) will show briefly when the camera is actuated. It will work great in your garden....Bill

It does turn, but not quickly. It needs a lot of space to make a complete turn, there isn't enough inside of a house for it to turn but outside in a driveway or street it should be fine.

Sure, as long as you have uninterrupted power to it.... like a cigarette lighter plug that stays on when the key is off. When you first turn it on the little screen on the back is lit and stays lit for maybe 10 or 15 seconds. Then it goes black but the camera is still recording. However, there is a little light on the bottom right corner that is usually blue but can be a mixture of blue and red when it's charging. That's the only indication that it's on. I plug mine into a under the seat power plug and just pull it half way out when parking. Then I push it back in the next time I drive and the camera comes on automatically. I love this little camera and bought one for one of my boys and he too loves it. The video from this little guy is awesome. Remember, if you have it positioned looking through the windshield it won't video the cop but it will record the dialog... the video will be whatever is right in front of you. I looked a long time before deciding on this camera and the instruction manual is very clear even if written in Asia. Be sure and order the memory chip when you order the camera. You can select the length of recording up to 5 minutes long and then a new clip starts automatically and has several of the last video's closing frames. This makes it very easy to find a particular clip for a particular time. It records several days of data. It also has GPS that stamps your speed etc. on the video. Like I said, awesome. I don't believe you'll be disappointed if you get this little guy. If you want to be totally stealthy you could put a tiny piece of black tape over the little blue light, or paint it but it's only like maybe 1/8" in diameter and not very bright. The audio picks up every sound in the car. You can listen to your tunes all over again when viewing the clips! Good luck!

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.

No. This camera requires a low level of externally provided illumination. One remedy is to provide a motion detection activated light source or an external IR lamp that will illuminate the area of interest. This is appropiate for this type of camera because the intent is not to reveal the camera's location by having an internal light source that would point to it's location.

I believe so. We have our unit positioned far from our house along a lengthy driveway and it detects someone walking by or animal (deer) movement.
