It says it only sends email when motion is detected. Does the software allow zones to be set for motion detection to begin recording?

You can opt for motion detection recording only, always recording of all or specified cameras, or set a schedule for recording of specified or all cameras. Emails occurr with ALL events recorded though so if you have a car, dog, or windy area, you will be notified each time one trips the camera so it can really get excessive if you have a lot of events(motion). The motion "trigger" can also be set for sensitivity.

Hi Elena,In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

The Email is a bit of a pain to set up. However, once you get it to work it works fine. I set it to give me alerts on a motion event. Which it does perfectly.

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, there are options to have it begin recording when motion is detected. See this page for the options: https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/mobius-in-motion-detect-mode.3656/

Yes. Motion can be enabled or disabled on a per camera basis. Area of motion detected is also easily adjusted per camera. For instance, you need to exclude a bush that blows in the breeze - you simply mark boxes within a grid to disable detection. Similarly, recording is also set on a per camera basis. Time restraint recording also per camera. It's a nice system! I've had mine on 24/7 for 2 years with no problems. The box says they're good to 10 degrees, mine had no problems with -25 temps last week.

The only feature for notifications is email based. I use it for my Barn due to recent theft, and the time delay on the camera is little slow. for someone walking or standing still it works but for some one running its delay is to slow.

Motion detection photos can be stored via FTP or emailed to you. There are settings to do that. Also, the suggestion that mentions DropBox is good.

Sure, this system supports email alerts under motion detection mode, you can set it from the DVR, thanks.

Barry! I just read now in the manual: Motion detection ON (enable) OFF (off). Try this when you connect 12 VDC to camera. It should detect motion. I never used this function either:-( Steve

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.

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

It will mark on the video feed sections where it sensed motion, and you can set the sensitivity. It also lets you send a email, but I have never tired that. Unfortunately my motion capture seems to be having issues. Where it would normally mark the video in red where it sees motion I get sections of video that are missing, I have tried replacing the main DVR (NVR) but I still have the issue. The issue was not happening when I first got my unit, so not sure what caused it to start happening and others do not seem to have this issue.

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.

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
