is this camera motion detected or time lapse?

Both. You can set it to time lapse, but it is ALWAYS motion detected too. Its a great camera.

From my experience, it will record the previous 10 seconds before the motion and the 10 seconds after the motion. If motion is still detected by the camera during the recording time, it will just continue to record until the motion stops and of course the 10 seconds after the motion stops.

It does not make time-lapse video. It takes photos in a sequence, and then with a software you compile as a video.

There are no markers indicating it is a camera. It is very, very small but just looks like an alarm clock. However I did catch two people eyeing it suspiciously while recording. I hope it wasn't making noise - doesn't make noise for me when recording.

Yes the unit has motion detection. You can vary the sensitivity and you can also specify the parts of the picture that should be sensitized. That way you can ignore things that normally move like bushes and trees, rocking chairs etc. Yes it does E-mail or FTP to a location you define. I have also found apps for he iPhone that work quite well remotely. it is called MEyeProHDV4. I think I paid a couple bucks for it, but I saw that there was a free version as well. User interface on the box has lots of features and seems to work ok. I had some confusion setting the time, but it was not hard to make it display the correct time. The daylight savings time is a bit weird. Overall the unit has been doing well over the last couple years. No failures, camera mounts are as tough as I would like, but they have not broken.

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.

No not there is no motion detection it just constant recording. However the video and audio qualities are great for the price.

There's no time lapse per se. But there's a mini mode. While in this mode the camera drops frames at certain intervals which results in very fast footage. However the the top and bottom part of the video will be blurred creating a special effect which is basically tilt-shift. The latest crop of Panasonic dedicated consumer cams -- in case you are interested -- does have the time lapse function though.

If you have the gopro tripod mount. If you are wanting to do time lapse I recommend faking the movement with After Effects. If it's just for slider shots, this will work. It ain't the best but it'll do.

I think what may help is motion detection. I already asked the tech support guy and he said they are working towards this functionality. I would think it be done soon over the next release or two. So far my camera works great so over all its a good by. good luck ;)

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

The short answer is NO! Good solid, entry level slider. Works well for my purposes. I don't use it for time lapse. I shoot time lapse on a fixed tripod with an intervalometer. If I was going to use a slider for time lapse it would have to be motorized and more professional grade than this unit.

Although I love this camcorder, I have found nothing that would suggest that it can do time lapse. I have not had it very long, but I have not read or seen anything that would suggest it does have that capability.

its a feature that is controlled by your security dvr, not the camera. so yes on my stem, it will motion detect/record.

The camera has the capability to do motion sensing but it ultimately depends on your DVR supporting motion recording. So the answer to your question is yes.

No, it don't have time lapse, it was design for be manualy used. You can not pass the information to windows 7 or 8

Yes the recorder recognizes motion in various sensitivity, that being said the detection is that of half of the visual distance. The recording time line will show red as to alarm. The sample increments can also be varied.
