I'm using ISPY. The 'live' image quality is good, but when I record with motion detection, quality is bad; blurry and ghosts. Recommended settings?

I don't think this has to do with camera settings. It may not be the problem, but I had trouble going from 4 low resolution cameras upon adding a high resolution camera. My solution was upgrading to an 8 core processor with a new mother board. It can handle my 5 cameras at less than 20 percent cpu load. I hope this helps.

Thank you Michael for your very helpful detailed response. Good to know in what settings to use which recording mode. I plan to keep it mainly on 1080p as you, unless filming an event with quick moving images such as a sports match in which case I'll switch to 720p @ 60fpm. Thanks again for your input :)

Mine is ok at night because any motion that triggered the recording feature also triggered my motion light in the area of camera focus. I have mine set to the ultimate focus for the area it covers,but I don't believe you can alter the focus once it has been recorded.

I'd check out iSpy (www.ispyconnect.com) for the software. I'd recommend looking elsewhere for cameras. This model has a known flaw of dropping connection and rebooting continually when pointed at bright colors or highly complex visual areas.

no software. firmware built in. you can have it email when motion is detected. motion detection not foolproof. if I were to buy another camera I would probably not buy foscam

Talk to your service provider regarding Internet ip if real and options for port blocked or not. (Canyouseeme.org) open port check tool. The way it's set up is continuing recording with pictures taking images when motion occurs. My opinion keep as originally set up works out fine. Image quality good for amount spent also lighting use yellow led or yellow type bulbs not white best for night vision image quality.

I just got this set. I have not noticed any issues with motion. However, when the set is placed in "vivid" mode, the picture looks very grainy when viewing things like: grass on a football field. In standard mode, it is really great.

If you are having flicker issues try this program you can test it before buying. http://www.revisionfx.com/products/deflicker/ Good for stop motion and timelapse and issues related to man made light flicker.

Regularly it records in 30 fps when resolution is set to 1080p. If you set it to 720p the frame rate will go up to 60fps. Try that. Unless there is something wrong with your unit.

It's a bit more technical to setup, but has a lot of great options, which is ContaCam. You can setup zone based motion detection, various recording options and one of the coolest features is it allows you setup a web server where you can access your entire camera network from the web including seeing recorded motion detection clips, or real-time view of the cameras. The developer who created it allows anyone to download for free and he as some great tutorials on how to set up your cameras if you aren't sure how.

Yes. I have my system set to motion detection so that it doesn't record all the time. Be sure to check the recordings periodically so that the memory/hard drive doesn't fill up too quickly.

It may be defective the one I have has a decent black and white image at night. You most likely won't see a light from it it records using infra red lighting at night. If it's not recording anything you pro bubbly have a bad camera.

It's just a camera, no sensors no recording. My dvr allows me to set it to only record when there's motion but that is based on when the picture changes not any sensors

Also Recon3d is not ASIO compatible while this one is, which makes it perfect for recordings. Recon3d is known to have significant lags, see reviews.

I don't know about Trendnet Proview IP 100 cameras, but I'm having a problem with my 3rd party Onvif 2.0 cameras - they don't record motion detection video on the NVR (also Onvif 2.0), and there does not appear to be setting for software on this NVR to detect motion detection. LuxRiot.com PC based software will record motion detection if the camera will not. I get a very nice 1080p image that records 24x7. But to record "motion detection" (which is the QC8016 NVR default), I found through on-line research that Onvif 2.2 is required on both the camera and NVR, and motion detection recording does not work on this Onvif 2.0 NVR with Onvif 2.0 cameras. To record motion detection, Q-See says you must use their cameras (or maybe the NVR supported camera brands will work). This has been a complicated and expensive issue for me. 10 cameras and an NVR that don't work as expected, with no help from either Q-See or the camera manufacturer.

Not sure. Our camera is motion sensitive and used when we are away so we are not doing much recording (we hope).

No, the system gives no audible or visual cue that it is recording. Motion detection is pretty sensitive, even at the low setting. Snowflakes blowing by the camera will easily trigger a recording.
