Does it have motion-detection/activation? Does it contact your email if it is set off?

You can set the sensitivity on each camera for more or less motion. I don't know if it can be sent to email, we didn't try that. Hope this helps

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.

It does have motion detection and you can set it to send you an e.mail if it is set off.

Hi it dose not have a motion detection. It is a camera lens what you wire into your monitor.

My camera was set to send an email when it detected motion. It was aimed through a front window towards the street and would send emails day or night when a car or person went by. It was useful for monitoring when a delivery was made to my front door. It would sometimes even send an email during lightning storms, probably due to the sudden change in brightness outside. I do not know how it detects motion, however.

I believe it does. I don't have the option enabled, but I saw it in the menu when I was doing the setup. Right now I have it set to just record when it detects motion.

You can set it up to take a motion activated snapshot and send it to your email.

Yes, this IP cam does sense motion and sound. I can't find specific documentation about range for either BUT... Motion and sound detection can either be armed or disarmed in the web browser interface under the Alarms tab - it's like logging onto your router. Note there are multiple options for what happens when motion and/or sound are triggered: send an email, upload image to an FTP site, or begin local recording to a separate connected device. Short story, I tried the motion and sound detection. With three cats, I was getting emails all the time for motion. I only use sound detection and that works great.

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. There's also a recent firmware update for (DCS-932L)to 2.01 - probably the same with other cameras.

After you install the software from the CD, you should be able to configure email and video. I had to find a Windows Vista machine to setup the motion detection. I have not setup video recording yet but I can login to the camera and watch streaming. For email, you will need to know your email providers settings so that the camera can send emails from one of your accounts.

It's motion activated. Turns on when someone or something crosses in front of the device. Then turns off after a minute or two.

It's free. I've never tried to add more e-mails, but you can use the IFTTT (If This Then That) app and website to setup recipes to run as well. IFTTT is also free and gives you even more options for notifications and updates. I get a notification and e-mail every time motion is sensed in my garage. Sends me an e-mail to two pictures shortly after the motion is sensed so I can get a sense for what the motion was.

Yes, The email alerts are quite delayed and I found them to be unusable for actual notification purposes if you wanted to react to the detection.

No. It is motion activated. You set it up leave it and it only takes pics and video when something moves in front of it day or night

Not by itself. It's made to hook into your Insteon network. It can send a message to nearby light switches or you can get an ISY or other such home automation controller which can send email (or perform any number of actions) when a message from the detector is received.

Yes, it does. You can find it in the settings once you connect it to the PC... there are two options given - 0 & 1, for normal mode and for motion detection respectively. Change the settings as per your requirement/ convenience and save it as instructed. I haven't yet tested the motion detecting mode though have already set it in the setting background. It's always good to set it as per the need in advance ;)

Remember that this is only a motion detector...and it doesn't have a great transmission range...and might not work too well in a metal mailbox. As a motion detector, it'll certainly tell you when the mailbox is open; but then if you leave it open and there's no movement in front of it, it might think that the mailbox is closed.
