Does monitor stay on constantly or only when camera detects motion?

plugged in it will stay on constantly.. Hook it up to the computer to have only 1 camera recording and detecting motion while viewing up to 4 cameras

If you set it to take a snapshot when motion is detected , then the snapshot will be saved to your device even after you unplug the camera

Not very long - I'll go time it for you. But you need to continue to move around if you want it to stay on when it's in motion detection mode.

Yes. I have my system set to motion detection so that it doesn't record all the time. Be sure to check the recordings periodically so that the memory/hard drive doesn't fill up too quickly.

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

Don't turn the screen off. You can put the screen into screen saver mode (scan) so the screen will stay dark until a camera detects motion. The screen will come on, during the recording, and then go black again. You can choose to record only the camera that triggers the recording, or record up to 4 cameras simultaneously.

Usually the DVR is the one that records with motion but the camera is always on

Yes, once you select the area you want the camera to cover for motion, you will seea green dot in the upper right corner of the monitor. When motion is detected a little green man will appear next to the green dot.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.

Nope...I check it from time to time, but leave it on almost all the time and never had an issue.

Depends on how high you set the resolution. I keep mine running 24/7 on high resolution and it keeps several weeks worth.

My system alerts me to motion activation. This camera is fixed and constantly on.

The picture remains on, it has never shut off like a screen saver, and it is a very clear picture, even at night. hope this helps.You should also know that there are many advanced features, so you wish, you can set it to keep the picture off until there is noise, and you pick the level of noise that will trigger the picture. It really is a good monitor if you can get it at a good price.

The monitor will not scan. The settings are either fixed on either camera of your choice, or set on auto shuffle between the cameras, whereby the monitor will switch between each camera every several seconds. We also have 2 babies in two rooms, and this is the setting we use.

When your camera is turned on, your camera is uploading video to our servers if you have CVR service enabled. If you only have Live Streaming, the camera will only detect motion and sound events if you have those enabled, or stream live when you choose to view it. You may turn the camera off at any time in the camera's settings, either from your computer or our mobile app. Hope this helps!

I can double check, but from memory, it is always on. The battery consumption is so minimal that it doesn't need to shut off.

It snaps rather firmly into either mode and remains in place until manually changed. So, your answer is: "it stays". BTW, very pleased with the device.
