Does it have motion detection? Will it auto-send captured images to a computer or the cloud via wireless signal? It's pointless without both of those.

It records as soon as someone ring the doorbell. I forgot to check if it does have a motion detector. You can't access the recorded feed remotely. It is meant to show you who's outside the door when your home without peeking at the peephole plus taping it so you know who tried to visit you while you're gone. It is really a fun useful gadget. I have it in my condo in Asia. If you want to access the feed remotely and record it in an sweetdreams card, I have the security camera at the house here for that. And yes, it has a motion detector, light sensor so it can record in the dark etc. pretty much what you wanted. I can't use this in the condo since the association is pretty strict about the common space which I'm perfectly fine with. Have a great weekend.

Put the camera on motion detection and will email you of any motion. Don't keep the camera on all the time leave it on motion.

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

It should be one subscription. The camera will detect motion and take a small video or series of pictures to be displayed in your cloud accunt

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.

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

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.

Not really. It is designed as a flexible and good recording/webcam. There is nothing that activates it through motion. It is very good at what it does but I think you may be better served with something designed to a surveillance camera's specific job...

Yes it does have Motion Detection, when connected to TV you can adjust your Settings to your Needs....Very Good Product..

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.

No this unit doesn't have motion detection and only takes a photo when someone presses the doorbell button or you press a button from inside. I can't recommend it and suggest you find another supplier. This unit has marginal quality, mine had dead pixels, and batteries die too frequently.

There is software you can install on your PC that can monitor the video stream the camera sends out over wifi and if the software detects motion, it can start recording the video stream to your PC. Foscam provided a software CD with the camera but I never installed it so I don't know if the software Foscam provided had motion detection abilities.

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

its a feature that is controlled by your security dvr, not the camera. so yes on my stem, it will motion detect/record.

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.

Yes and no. It doesn't have a separate motion detector however the dvr will process a change in the image it sends as "motion".

thanks Draven...but do you know if i can also hook up extra motion/trip sensors ? ...and does the cpu use pixel changes in camera images to detect motion that act like a trip sensor/alarm ?
