Can this camera be set to motion sensor, not 24-hour recording?

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.

Yes, such recording features are controlled by the DVR (digital video recording, or the security system to which these cameras connect), not the camera. So cameras capture the images, take them back via cables to the channels you designated on the DVR. Go into DVR Menu for recording and tell it what channel(s) are motion-sensor recording, continuous reocrding, no recording and whatever other recording options your DVR offers. Also for further info/clarification, call your DVR Tech Support.

Yes, I have done it two ways. FTP server and iSPY. I highly recommend the iSPY program. It is free and easier to setup. I only have done this with a wired connection though. FTP server setup is confusing to do, and i only got it working with scheduled recordings not motion sensor.

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.

It has motion capture, so no need for extra sensors. Just go into setting and set it to record on motion .

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.

No motion sensor. Also, recording pauses if you play a song. You can set it to resume when the song is over, but it's a roll of the dice. The manual claims that there are all sorts of settings and button functionalities. But they seem to work on an arbitrary basis. The only thing it does consistently is record whilst looking like a clock. I wouldn't rely on it for much else.

Yes and no. You can set the SmartGuard to not light up during the day when the sensor detects movement but the camera will still record. I'm not sure if you can set the SmartGuard to only record at night without the light, which doesn't seem practical since there might not be enough light for the camera to capture a picture without the light at night.

Record on motion settings are a feature of your DVR, not the camera itself.

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.

No motion detection on the camera itself. Most dvrs have motion detection recording though.

Yes, you can get both, and also motion detection. The motion detection isn't perfect but 95% works. (it saves files of 5 minutes) Sometimes u get it recoring for a very little thing moving (an insect) and sometimes (few times) it starts "late" (when movement was already started earlier). Anyway, in my case, im very happy with the camera.

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?

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

Yes, but let me be clear, it is not a set and forget, recording to local computer is done only when logged into the camera's web page (then it can be set and forget...as long as the page stays open on the computer), the default location is C:\IPCamRecord. This will also work for motion detection (alarm) recording, but again, the web page has to be open to record to local PC / Mac. If you insert an SD card, Motion Detection will record regardless of the web page being up or not. I hope that makes sense.

Yes, it is a motion camera. Length depends upon night vision use, higher resolution setting, SD card size, and battery capacity. Length of video setting can be adjusted as well.

No motion detection built into the camera. It can function as a web cam so maybe motion detection could implemented through a computer.

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
