Does this motion detector send you an email or text when motion is detected?

If you have a hub (or a computer connected with the insteon software) the hub/computer can email or text you as you set up. Using the hub and the insteon app on my iphone I can switch modes (home, away, night only, led on or off, etc) from within my app. But by itself, it doesn't do much at all...

Not by itself. It would need to communicate with another device that is connected to the internet then it could trigger a text or email.

Not by itself. It's made to hook into your Insteon network. It can send a message to nearby light switches or you can get an ISY or other such home automation controller which can send email (or perform any number of actions) when a message from the detector is received.

Not directly, this is an Insteon sensor (no logic or processor), so you would need at least an Insteon setup and something that could be programmed to response (in your case send an email) to the events this sensor would send. I run an application called Indigo on a Mac, which is configured to respond to events mostly logging them, and depending on time and where an event happens turn lights on and after a period of inactivity turn them off.

It says it has motion detection, but I never have used it. Mine comes on when I start my vehicle and shuts down when I turn off my vehicle.

Yes, there are two types of alerts that you can receive when the motion sensor is triggered. First one is a push notification directly to your iOS or Android device. Second, is email alerts. You can enable the alerts via mobile or web app.

Yes it does have Motion Detection, when connected to TV you can adjust your Settings to your Needs....Very Good Product..

They most likely ordered the wrong one because my motion detection works just fine. It has worked every time when something passes by its sensers.

Yes, but you can turn on live monitoring as soon as you receive a motion detection notice. On my network there is a ten second delay, which is ok for me.

I'm only using it as a camera connected to DVR. I have not used any other features that may be on the camera. I am unaware that it has motion detection built in. Regards

You can set it up to take a motion activated snapshot and send it to your email.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

No alert at the sensor. Only alert I see is via email or text or when lookint at the app to see the status.

No, it only alerts the system. You can connect an alarm to a controlled outlet and switch it on automatically when the contact is opened or the sensor is moved

Remember that this is only a motion detector...and it doesn't have a great transmission range...and might not work too well in a metal mailbox. As a motion detector, it'll certainly tell you when the mailbox is open; but then if you leave it open and there's no movement in front of it, it might think that the mailbox is closed.

Sorry to take so long to answer been having problems with my email but no they come on with motion and when you stop it goes out

There is a basic time day set for detecting motion if that helps. So it would only email or ftp during the hours that you set.

No, there is a separate (included) USB sensor that will detect your motion. I prefer this to save battery life.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it also have a web interface which is 200% better than the app it come with in the cd. however its motion detection is software based, so it'll misfire frequently when there's change in lighting, or camera pan, etc

Maybe.There is configuration that will instruct the camera to send an Email when motion is sensed. You can use this between the hours she is gone, so the camera will sense motion between times it should not.However, please be aware this camera is not for a beginner to configure. Someone with technical knowledge will probably have to get involved.
