Will it record to a computer on detection of motion and for how long?

I am not using it for a security camera, however I do know that it will record to a computer and I have not tried to use the other feature.

You can record in to PC by pressing Record button. Camera records motion events in to microSD card. You can downloads files from the microSD card in to PC by web gui of the camera or just remove SD card from camera and put in to your PC card reader. You have to set the recording duration in seconds.

Yes. I've got mine to record 100% of the time, but also make a log in the system when there is motion. You can also pick which portion of the monitor to record the motion on, so you can block out trees and such so there are fewer false reports.

No it does not. Its recorded automatically to your hard drive if motion is detected.

It detects sudden movements (for example a collision). The camera would lock the video file it's recording in the event of an accident so that it wouldn't be over-written

Yes I had this set up to record 24 hours, and another identical cam on a separate channel set up only to record when the motion detection was tripped. The record time is determined by the setting of the DVR. Go for a bigger or upgradable hardrive.

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

The unit does not record video but your computer can. Software is available from many vendors for free or at cost to record the output or you can have the units send snapshots of activity when motion occurs.

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.

I haven't messed with the software that comes with it, but I recommend checking out iSpy. Free, and works very well with these camera handling motion detection and recording.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it also have a web interface which is 200% better than the app it come with in the cd. however its motion detection is software based, so it'll misfire frequently when there's change in lighting, or camera pan, etc

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!

it will record 2 hours after the motion sensor is activated, however - though the battery life would seem to be longer - you cannot get it to do anything beyond the two hours without reactivating it; I do not recommend it for the motion sense function, but otherwise it is good.

Yes this camera systems will record up to (2) weeks of recording. You can set the camera up to record Continous, Schedule, and Motion Detection. This system come with a hard drive memory already installed. But make sure you do not have the overwrite feature on when recording because when the hard drive is full it will overwrite what was recorded and will start all over again. This system also come with an USB port whereby you can download your recorded pictures onto a USB adapter that will you have to purchase separtely.

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

It records on your computer or with the SD card. It is motion and sound activated. I use the SD card. It is an excellent buy,

It will automatically record for the entire duration of the motion detected.

Thats a very good question... The glass is not clear so I'm not sure if the sensor would be able to detect motion at all times.
