Does this product have a motion detection feature?

It does have the motion detection feature. Just go to "menu" -> "Camcorder" -> "Capture Mode". You will see both "continuous" and "motion detection" mode(with a hand icon). Once in the "Motion setting", you can have option of setting motion spot zone, detection window size, and motion sensitivity. If you want to use this feature while your car is at park but worry no power to the camera? A quick solution is to attach a portable battery. Just do a search on Amazon and get one that will power laptops. That's what I did for my own car. Cheers! It does have the motion detection feature.

Sorry David, I do not have an answer for you. Ever since I bought this unit, I have only opened the box and that is where it is. Sorry I could not help you. Ram Sharma

No, I don't think so, it does not work when the car is turned off, unless it is connected to an external power. So normally the car will almost on move when it is recording, and the motion detection function is not necessary.

can't remember, returned mine because it stopped working after less than 6 months.

I thought it said it does in the directions? I can't use the feature because my charger doesn't stay on when car is off.

Hmmmm. Never really noticed. So I went and checked it out. The red led comes on when motion is detected. It blinks only when movement is detected. Otherwise it is out. Hope that solves your question. P'Cola Bob.

Yes the recorder recognizes motion in various sensitivity, that being said the detection is that of half of the visual distance. The recording time line will show red as to alarm. The sample increments can also be varied.

Yes; it has a pretty sensitive microphone, you can hear sound on the live video feed, and it records both sound and video when motion is detected.

There is no motion detector. It stays on till you turn it off. We are going on our 2nd winter with it. So far so good, but it's the beginning of the season for us, so we'll see well it does.

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

These cameras do have motion detection. I run them for viewing on a monitor 24/7, but only when there is motion does it record anything and send you an alert if you want one. When you go back and look it only shows when motion was detected.

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

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.

You can. It will detect movement but the setup is difficult. I'm still hit-or-miss with the settings on mine. The instructions are very limited as to what each option you setup in the software.

Yes, the motion is detected through the camera. The only thing is you may get some reflection from the IR night vision LEDs. The motion sensing is sensitive to light changes so when near a windows it will detect motion if the the sun switches brightness because of clouds. I get lots of snapshots of just light changes, which it ok for my purposes but would not be ok if you where to want an alarm to sound on motion detection. These cameras are sensitive to light since they are made for indoors and it can get too bright for the camera if there is direct sunlight hitting the camera.

No, the camera itself does not. The camera is just a camera and requires a DVR for viewing. We have a Lorex BlackBox DVR and it handles the motion detection and notification emailing.

Sorry. I haven't used the cameras for motion detection. They can be set up to notify your iPhone, iPad upon motion with the Foscam Pro app. The app can record a picture or up to 60 seconds of video upon motion. I just haven't had the need to do it at this point. The night vision on the camera is pretty good but I'm not sure how far it will "see" things through a window especially at night.

It does have motion detection and the sensitivity can be adjusted. And it has alarming systems for all devices which are compatible. Even email alarms.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.
