Is there a motion detection for filming only when there is movement detected? I have looked at numerous reviews and have not been able to find this.

No, my model (GC-XA2) does not have motion detection... you might have to look into a game camera for that. Good Luck!

No, there is not a motion detect mode. The record button must be pressed on either the camera or the app. Also the camera will automatically power off after 5 mins on standby.

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

Hello... This particular camera does not automatically follow and focus on motion detected objects. There are cameras on the market that do, but those are very spendy.

It can record in motion detect only. What do you means turn off the cameras? If you take out the power of the camera, it will have no signal to the DVR so it won't record. or you means you want the camera still on but it doesn't shows on the screen?

yes, it does have motion detection. BUT be careful where you place the camera because if it is aimed across the room towards a window, it will record everytime a tree limb moves.

It just steam to computer for real time viewing. If recording is desire, then u would need a program like securityspy or sighthound video and many other program could do the recording on motion detection.

No this unit doesn't have motion detection and only takes a photo when someone presses the doorbell button or you press a button from inside. I can't recommend it and suggest you find another supplier. This unit has marginal quality, mine had dead pixels, and batteries die too frequently.

BAM, I am a machine vision engineer. The motion detection algorithm with the onboard software is very, very rudimentary in that it uses a full frame image comparison which subtracts the current frame from the previous frame to see what has changed. If that change involves enough pixels with significant RGB values differences, you'll receive an email. The onboard software is also notoriously slow. That's the reason that you some times miss the cats exiting. You'll be much better served purchasing third party software which runs on your computer. Try Blue Iris for PCs or Evocam for Macs. Both allow you to set motion sensors or regions of interest within the frame so that you can look at just that particular area for motion and not the entire image. In addition, both provide gain and threshold adjustment for the sensor or region of interest. All this translates into faster processing and fewer false triggers. These programs also provide you a faster, more capable interface with the camera than you have through the browser. They allow you to tailor responses to motion and audio alerts as well as record video. If you are a Mac user, you have an additional choice with another program called uFoscam. It, too, is very capable and only costs $5.99.

It will mark on the video feed sections where it sensed motion, and you can set the sensitivity. It also lets you send a email, but I have never tired that. Unfortunately my motion capture seems to be having issues. Where it would normally mark the video in red where it sees motion I get sections of video that are missing, I have tried replacing the main DVR (NVR) but I still have the issue. The issue was not happening when I first got my unit, so not sure what caused it to start happening and others do not seem to have this issue.

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

Currently, motion detection isnt functional on our NVRs. We are currently testing a firmware update for the NVR that will hopefully enable motion detection. So, I would check back in a few weeks to see if that is available. If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know. Best, Cameron Zmodo Technical Support unfortunately

No motion detection. You might look at a heartbeat monitor, motion monitor,or IR sensor. Here's some options, not sure how well any of them work: http://www.amazon.com/Angelcare-Baby-Movement-Monitor-White/dp/B0014KUGNQ OR Snuza Hero Baby Movement Monitor OR http://www.amazon.com/Sitter-Digital-Recorder-Camera-Infrared/dp/B005C0YBYO

What the "motion detect" does is record only movement such as a person walking by the camera or if the camera itself moves, like when someone hits your car. In between this nothing is recorded. If motion detect is set to off it only records while you are driving/moving, but once the car is no longer in motion it will not record something like someone walking around your car.

No, the camera does not track the movement, it just covers the viewing area that it is aimed at, the camera doesn't move.

I have never used the motion detect, but honestly there are probably better units then this one since I didnt get the EXACT same unit posted.

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

I looked all the way through the book and could not find anything about motion sensing. It is also not an option with the menu or settings features. I would say no motion sensing. I have 2 of these frames and love them. I only use them for displaying pictures which show beautifully. Hope this helps.
