Is this cam motion activated? I need something that will record all day-not just 1 hour

No its not motion activated. U can record up to 4 hours. Its a great little camera with good quality video and pics.

It's sound and motion. It will stay on but will turn off unless something passes it or makes a continuous sound

yes you can record 8 continuous hours because I leave mine on in my office and it is setup for motion sensor recording continuously

it really depends on what resolution you are recording in. the more detail the more space is needed. Mine records 24 hrs a day and just loops. If I go away I lower the resolution and set the non entrance cameras to record on motion.

I dont know exactly how you plan to use it, but this allows you to calibrate the level of movement you want to trigger the recording, so you could say it is motion activated.

I don't know, James, because we sent the camera back! Something that only records for 10 seconds when it activates was not what we needed. We got a netcam instead! Goggling the camera model doesn't turn up anything?

No. But the specifications indicate about 120 minutes of operating time. That's it: NOT two hours of accumulated motion detect recording time. It means the unit stays on for up to two hours, then shuts itself off. It will not record ANYTHING for more than 2 hours.

Hello... This particular camera does not automatically follow and focus on motion detected objects. There are cameras on the market that do, but those are very spendy.

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

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

Hello: Yes you can set the cam to motion detection mode but keep in mind you'll have to have a constant power supply while your car is turned off. Of course I don't know what direction you'd be looking at. Out the windsheild is normal. I would really recommend this unit. The picture quality is fantastic. A 32GB card will give you about 8 hours of recording time. Don't use a class 10. The crappy manual that comes with it even suggests against it. My class 4 works just fine. I didn't think the GPS version was worth it but I've changed my mind since.

The motion sensor activation is typically part of the software running the camera. My cameras run 24 hours a day but the application only records the video when it detects motion.

Hi Cynthia, the length of recording will depend on the size of the micro SD card you install -takes up to 32GB which should provide several hours depending on quality of the video. You can record continuously, at timed intervals or at a set time. It also will take snapshots when you tell it to. Lastly, you can record at will through the use of the phone app (both iphone and android). I have not yet determined how to record from motion activation.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.

Ted D. gave false information. The camera itself is not motion activated. But if you attach it to a computer and use it as a webcam, then it can be motion activated depending on the software you use to record.

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.

Mine only records when motion triggers it and it records for 30 seconds or as long as there is enough motion to be detected. You can set it to record over old recording if it is at capacity. I have a SD card that I download to my pc if I want to keep it, otherwise I just delete everything after a few days.

Hello Omar, This is a Camera disguised as a Motion sensor. It has no functional motion sensor built in. However if you were to use the camera functionality with a DVR that has an alarm out, you could program the DVR to send an alarm out signal anytime motion was detected by the Camera.
