Would this capture pix or video 24ft away through a window and at night? I want to monitor my neighbor's dog activities. Thanks for any info/advice.

If there is enough light to avoid the night vision ,than yes it will work. If not the ir lights will reflect off the window glass and either blind the camera or reduce the range. What i did to get around this is to conceal the camera in an old birdhouse my wife had on a table on the porch.

Mine is set only 6 feet from the door. I am sure it would work at 20 or more feet from the door. It does not work by detecting movement in a room. You will need to find a fixed location so it can have the door or window you are trying to protect in view. It could even be aimed so you could view multiple door or windows. Once you have it set up it will detect if the door or window frame changes (because it has been opened) and will begin recording.

When I had the outdoor camera attached to my garage (while it worked,anyway) it was about a 100' out to the street and the camera generally had no problem detecting vehicles as they drove by the house. People at that range, however were not always detected. On my front porch the camera picks up people walking, probably, around 70' to 80' or so. Having said that, If you get an outdoor camera that works dependably over the long haul, consider yourself lucky. Mine worked, maybe six months then started working sporadically untill it quit working altogether. I have an indoor camera outside on my front porch (protected from the weather) and it has worked flawlessly for a few years. In reviews of the outdoor camera it has been documented there can be a problem with a capacitor or something on the circut board that fails due to heat issues. Too bad because the logitech system is far and away the easiest system to set up, and review recorded images. I just could not deal with the undependability of the outdoor camera and installed a different system (with night vision capability).

If you install the app "VLC" for IOS video and have a USB port you are in luck. It will work great. I used my camera last week to inspect 20 feet into a 3" vent pipe in a concrete wall to make sure no bats were living in there before I installed screening.

I have the same problem in my neighborhood. I actually work in law enforcement and review different types of video surveillance frequently. This camera really compares to some of the better video equipment I've seen. Also, I live in Alaska and it's very dark here in the winter. I've found that this camera has a great deal of clarity, even in pitch black, and seems to do fine in arctic temperatures. From 35 feet, I can clearly pick up vehicle and physical body description, and by zooming in while I'm reviewing I can read a license plate.

You can find the app on Google play. The Cool Cam works great never regret purchasing it. Vision is clear in the darkest places. As long as you have a good internet connection you should not have any problems. I use it to monitor my baby and it works well even when I am away from home. Hope you get through with yours.

Sorry. I haven't used the cameras for motion detection. They can be set up to notify your iPhone, iPad upon motion with the Foscam Pro app. The app can record a picture or up to 60 seconds of video upon motion. I just haven't had the need to do it at this point. The night vision on the camera is pretty good but I'm not sure how far it will "see" things through a window especially at night.

As long as there is ambient lighting, the video recorder will work fine and produce good footage. However, you have to set up a good harness for your dog for recording.

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.

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.

The camera is powered by a cord with a 110volt plug. There has to be a duplex receptacle near the camera. The camera CAN be triggered my motion detect, but that has more to do with your DVR. It will work through a window during the day time, but the night vision just gets a white shine through glass.

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.

It does work well at night but as far as a deer running by I really don't think the picture would take but the video might. I haven't had that to happen so I really can't say. I haven't used the video on my camera only the camera to take still photos.

Although it is a little grainy at night, it does a good job capturing night pics and videos. If an animal runs by at high speed, it may miss the photo/video, but I don't think that would happen often.

Being a driveway camera, that was not a concern for me. I think I have heard a very soft click when handling the camera, but not likely to attract human attention. I have another game cam set up in a forested area (Bushnell). I also do not hear it click when I walk by but the animals seem to detect something. I even have a pic of a moose looking at it curiously. I have lots of game pics and none seem disturbed by its presence.

John, We have this cam in our one year olds room. Cam about 10 ft from her bed, I can zoom in pretty close. With that said, the closer you get the more distorted the video becomes. I would not recommended the cam for surveillance, you would not be able to identify anyone. Hope this helps.

Hmm that is strange, as I have mine set up and it runs without a hitch! I do have it set to record upon motion detected, and it has caught most everything, even squirrels and cats walking by. I have not used the timed hours feature, I should try it to see if it works correctly. You might double check the clock it is going by, to ensure it has the correct time. I am sorry to hear that there is no support, I guess I will just cross my fingers and hope that mine continues to work as it has so far - perfectly. I have experienced the fact that when it is recording, the viewpoint defaults to the camera with which it is recording with, and you cannot see the other camera(s) while it is recording. I just have the 2 cameras, and when I have it in quad mode, it does warn me that scheduled recording cannot begin as long as it is in quad mode; I just get seasick watching it constantly switch back and forth between the cameras, and I want to see both of them at once, all the time, hence the quad mode viewing. I have been very happy with this product. I hope you are able to get your issues resolved.
