Is it motion activated, or does it just record continuously until the SD card is filled? Does it record over the SD card? Motion detection is better.

It records on your computer or with the SD card. It is motion and sound activated. I use the SD card. It is an excellent buy,

If is motion activate. Once activated if records while it detects any motion and will stop recording for a few seconds after the motion stops. You must delete old recordings. I do not think there is a setting to over write.

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

yes it records in motion detection. It only stores it in the card and the recording time is limited.

No motion sensor. Also, recording pauses if you play a song. You can set it to resume when the song is over, but it's a roll of the dice. The manual claims that there are all sorts of settings and button functionalities. But they seem to work on an arbitrary basis. The only thing it does consistently is record whilst looking like a clock. I wouldn't rely on it for much else.

This camera was activated to record by human body heat detection motion. Yours seems to record constantly as you are arounding the camera, and the camera can detect your body heat.

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

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.

2to 3 days,then the memory will get full,its best to set it on motion detection record,that way you only record when it detects motion,that way you don't use a lot of memory up for nothing.

Yes. You can set to motion detect but it is fairly sensitive. Leaves blowing trip it. It trips with a 3sec or so delay. Records for 30 seconds, then off if no more motion. Also has sound and good night vision. Not bad for the price. Recommend large SD card to store data.

Yes, the camera is motion activated. It seems to run fairly well when activated. However, if the object is running it may blur slightly. You can program it to take a series of pictures (1,2,3 or 4) consecutively when activated and even program it to record video. It will take good night and day time shots when motion activated.

It records all video or just motion. Your choice. When recording all video it will make the motion detected parts turn red in the timeline. The normal video timeline is green. Red equals "alarm" (motion) in the timeline.

Tom, honestly I don't remember, but it will keep recording. What I love about the camera is that I can set it to record certain times or I can set it to when there's motion sensed to record. It let's you set motion zones from where you want motion to set off the camera. This is convenient because if you have pets you can set the motion zone higher off the ground to where your cats, dogs, etc won't set it off. The best part is that it records audio very well too. The only thing is because it is connected to the internet there is a 3 second delay, but to me that's not much of a con with all the other pros. I hope this helps.

If the SD card fills up, it will start to record over what is on the card. About once a month, I just format the SD card while it is in the unit. But it can be formatted (erased) by putting it into your computer also but it's much easier and quicker to do it in the unit.

No motion detection on the camera itself. Most dvrs have motion detection recording though.

You set the motion detector by selecting a spot on the screen. Whenever something passes through that spot it will take the photo. So, yes, if you select a spot on the screen that is long range, the camera will activate the recording.

Hello!I do not believe that it is motion activated but what is really cool about it is how long it will continually record on a single charge! Would you believe 4 years? No? That's good because it won't record non-stop for 4 years! But it will (should) record non-stop for some 60 minutes! Hope this is helpful to you!

This DVR allows you to record continuously 24/7 as long as you have enough room on your Hard drive. It does record all cameras connected if you choose to record 24/7. You can manually press the record button and will begging to record all cameras connected until you stop it or hard drive is full. You can also choose to record when motion is detected. Choosing this option, only the cameras that detect motion will begin to record, therefore allowing the hard drive to store only files in which motion is detected. Hope this answers your question.
