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

The camera sends pictures to either an email address, or as a text message to a telephone number. You do not have to call to retrieve photos.

Yes it can send to pics and video clips to your email, ftp server or directly to a PC with either the free dlink software or other third party software for Cameras.

Only if you set the motion function on your phone. However, it won't work if you have a password set on the device.

The software Foscam ships with this unit does not have this capability. It allows you to monitor the video in a small window and take snapshots manually. You can set it up to trigger on motion and send you emails with the snapshots attached. There may be third party software for this camera for continuous video capture but I do not know of any. Also the note that the wireless does not seem to be able to use a password if you have a secured router. My wireless router will only operate secured with a password so I had to plug a separate wireless access point into the router so the camera could send wirelessly to the non secured access point. I could not find another way around this with the software Foscam provides.

No, PC not required. You can setup the camera using the mobile phone. My camera connected to WIFI network. Works great! Highly recommended!

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

That is a software question. If you use ispy, for example, it will save it as a recording. I have it uploading a jpg to an FTP server when a movement alert is triggered. I also get that in email..That is what the camera supports. So you will need software to get a recording..

It doesn't record to itself. You can set it to email snapshots, so you don't HAVE to have a receiver. A pc can work as well if you don't want the email option.

Yes the unit has motion detection. You can vary the sensitivity and you can also specify the parts of the picture that should be sensitized. That way you can ignore things that normally move like bushes and trees, rocking chairs etc. Yes it does E-mail or FTP to a location you define. I have also found apps for he iPhone that work quite well remotely. it is called MEyeProHDV4. I think I paid a couple bucks for it, but I saw that there was a free version as well. User interface on the box has lots of features and seems to work ok. I had some confusion setting the time, but it was not hard to make it display the correct time. The daylight savings time is a bit weird. Overall the unit has been doing well over the last couple years. No failures, camera mounts are as tough as I would like, but they have not broken.

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

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.

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

this is a switch, you would need to have a NAS/hard drive to record the camera video, or use a camera that can act as a server and send snapshots of events like motion detection to your email etc.

The camera can be directly connected to a PC using the included ethernet cable. You can monitor an area and record video without any other equipment. To take advantage of the other features like remote viewing or email notification you will need a router and an internet connection.

You need to get a complete recording DVR that is accessible from Smartphone, Tablet, PC or MAC. With motion activated email alerts and easy Smartphone access
