Does the camera have good motion detection capabilities?

the camera offers an excellent image however i have found no software to make it easy to use

Not nearly as good as the Qsee models I have. Also doesn't have night vision

The software was so difficult to setup and comes with no manual that I am waiting for different software to become compatible with this camera which I am using on other cameras before using the camera.

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.

Hello: Yes you can set the cam to motion detection mode but keep in mind you'll have to have a constant power supply while your car is turned off. Of course I don't know what direction you'd be looking at. Out the windsheild is normal. I would really recommend this unit. The picture quality is fantastic. A 32GB card will give you about 8 hours of recording time. Don't use a class 10. The crappy manual that comes with it even suggests against it. My class 4 works just fine. I didn't think the GPS version was worth it but I've changed my mind since.

Yes, the camera is motion activated. It seems to run fairly well when activated. However, if the object is running it may blur slightly. You can program it to take a series of pictures (1,2,3 or 4) consecutively when activated and even program it to record video. It will take good night and day time shots when motion activated.

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

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.

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.

Yes, the Camera has motion detection built in. Works well with the ones I have. Set them up thru Nexia to send you a text every time the built in PIR is triggered.

Yes it does have alarming and motion detection, not sure about iPhone though.

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.

Motion sensor functionality is usually a feature of the dvr you use, not the camera. That said, my DVR has motion sensing and the feature works fine with this camera.

Motion detection works by comparing the current frame to the previous frame. In other words, it is an image subtraction. If enough pixels show a big enough change in RGB values, the camera's algorithm considers it be motion. The camera's built in algorithm is OK but rather simplistic. Software such as Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs have more sophisticated motion detection algorithms.

Motion detection does not automatically take a picture. However when motion deduction notifies the app you can manually take a picture via the app.

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

The camera is not motion activated. It can be heat sensing or time lapse. One or the other not both.

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!

Hi, The camera certainly has a 'detect motion only' feature available but I guess with the family at home, it's bound to detect the motions of the family members and pets as well and will still be sending you instant emails with photos, unless disabled of course.
