Can this unit record what is sees when motion is detected and can you adjust the record length ? Thanks.

yes you can adjust recorded time when triggered by motion and it does record

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.

Yes. Motion can be enabled or disabled on a per camera basis. Area of motion detected is also easily adjusted per camera. For instance, you need to exclude a bush that blows in the breeze - you simply mark boxes within a grid to disable detection. Similarly, recording is also set on a per camera basis. Time restraint recording also per camera. It's a nice system! I've had mine on 24/7 for 2 years with no problems. The box says they're good to 10 degrees, mine had no problems with -25 temps last week.

My unit records in 3 minute intervals and records them back to back for as long as memory allows, it just saves them in three minute clips. Normal memory then loops and overwrites oldest normal files, so you can record a trip as long as your SD card can hold and it will be arranged in 3 minute clips. Event files (shock, motion, ect.)are saved and not overwritten until you delete them. I know of no option to increase the 3 minute clip size.

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!

Yes. the notion detection software with this card is effective and can be adjusted in both sensitivity and length of time to record after the event.

Yes, the software can and needs to be set for motion to trigger recording. You can adjust area on the screen, plus sensitivity. Like all camera systems, a fly on the camera lens, is the same as an elephant in the driveway. They both trigger the system.

The system has motion detection and can be setup to record when there is motion as well as record in a certain area of the field of a camera. It can also be setup to record at whatever times you want for each camera. If you go to Swann.com, you can get lots of info before you buy. You can even download manuals and watch videos on most system Swann offers. I did this and was thoroughly educated. It's a great system!

Yes, there is timed recording, plus motion sensor recording.On my system, a 15 second recording is one MB 1024 MB in one GBWithout doing the. Math, I would think your needs would be coveredDespite the other answers here, there is scheduled recording. You may set on and off times, and continuous recording available

No it does not. Its recorded automatically to your hard drive if motion is detected.

No, the system gives no audible or visual cue that it is recording. Motion detection is pretty sensitive, even at the low setting. Snowflakes blowing by the camera will easily trigger a recording.

I have an 8 GB and it is set to record motion. It picks up movement 20-30 times or more a day and it records for 2 minutes at a time. It takes a long time for it to fill up my 8. And it's very simple to save it to a computer if you need. That's another option.

The system support below record mode: Continuous / Time Schedule / Motion Detection, it can be set from the DVR, thanks.

yes it records in motion detection. It only stores it in the card and the recording time is limited.

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

If is motion activate. Once activated if records while it detects any motion and will stop recording for a few seconds after the motion stops. You must delete old recordings. I do not think there is a setting to over write.

I don't pay attention to the data, as I have it set up to record only if it captions movement in the zones I customized to sensor to trip. Also, I have it set up to delete after a certain period of time, so in reality, it does not take up very much data space. This camera comes with several custom set-up features to meet your individual needs.

There really isn't any way to adjust the motion detection. You can adjust the burst of photos (1, 5, 10, 30) and the resolution for photos.
