Is there a phone app to alert you when some one has triggered the motion?

Not sure exactly. There is a phone app in general. And I thought there was a feature that you could set it to auto record for 15-30 seconds after motion was detected.

Yes. Blue Iris is what I use. If you plan on connecting more than one of these cameras I highly recommend Blue Iris.

There isn't an alert when an alarm picture is sent to your email unless you set up your phone to alert you when you have received an email. What you will find on this alarm email are pictures of whoever or whatever triggered the alarm. For example UPS dropping a package at your door. There are various applications you can buy. The one we use is the LiveCam Pro for the Iphone. We had Foscam's customer service set it all up. This app is the one we use to see the cameras on our phones. The IP Camera tool that comes with the cameras, is the one we use on our computers to set the alarms and control the devices.

My nephew set mine up and he said he thinks it does have that option. I want to add that it does have great night vision capabilities as we trued it out last evening.

You can put your email address in the settings and it will send you an alarm of what it has taken and if you get a dns account it can be set up to view online. I bought a two camera pack and had trouble getting one camera to work. I could see the camera trying to rotate but could not scan. I just needed to help it move and it works fine now. Good luck. There are aps for I phone such as blue iris and fos cam pro in the apple store but the blue iris ap will not work unless you have the full version blue iris that you can buy at amazon store.

The system can send you the screenshot to you when motion detection is triggered

Yes, if the alarm is tripped it will dial several phone numbers in sequence. The first call can go to the monitoring company if you wish.

If you have an android phone, you could probably implement a geofence type solution with Tasker. Very similar to IFTTT.

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.

It will detect/trip on any movement in its field of range. You can adjusted so it will aim high enough not to to cover the floor. Better yet, you can just set the alarm in "HOME" setting , just like if you're home , then the motion detector becomes inactive, just your contact alarm.

Only if you set the motion function on your phone. However, it won't work if you have a password set on the device.

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! Just use the motion sensor mode and it will detect any movement and record it.

I havent tried to set it up to send me a text, but if you have the phone apprunning in the background it will alarm when motion is triggered.

Yes you could, and there would be no theft alarm as such, just a message transmitted to show that you have moved and others to show your progress. However, you may wish to consider the SPOT Gen3, a similar product which has been designed more for what you describe.

I don't think so ... unless they jumped/or their tail got into the 'target' line. I recommend that you call customer service @ Dakota Alert. The rep I spoke with was very helpful and knowledgeable. The rep is the best person to talk to about this. He told me that it is not just movement (such as a tree limb falling) that triggers the alarm, the sensor needs heat (from a live animal, person) to trigger the alarm.

You can set it up either on your iPhone through the AnyScene app or in the PC through the software that comes on the disk. Go to advance setting and enable motion detecting and alarms if you want so that it alerts your phone everytime there is motion.

The camera is triggered by motion, yes. It then saves the pic on the camera card then transfers to the storage box. There is NO alert feature with these cameras, just storage.

It's an app on your phone or computer. Just get the app & it warns you through your phone

Not currently but you can configure an alert to tell you the door is still up after a period of time, then you can close from the app if needed. Sounds like a great feature request though! Sounds easy enough.

Motion can be turned on or off for specific cameras or set the motion sensing area for more precision. Setup the NVR to send email alerts with snapshot when a motion event occurs to your mobile device.
