can you set this device to activate only on motion?

Yes. I have one, but haven't used that feature. Good tracker with excellent battery life. Here is a quick reference I put together of commands to send to the tracker for different modes. The 2531 is my password for my tracker. Just substitute yours in there. best, Greg Quick Reference: Text: linklocate*2531 to get GPS location texted back. Press and hold B or C until red flashing stops to phone Lisa or Steve Press and hold SOS button until flashing stops to send SOS to ABC phone numbers. Text: checkphone*2531 to see which phones are tied to BC buttons. A is my cell. Text: monitor*2531 to listen to surrounding sounds. Falcon calls back to your cell #. Hang up when done. Alarms Text: setmove*2531 to get a text every 5 mins once the tracker starts moving Text: setspeed*2531*080 to get a text if the speed exceeds 80mph, or whatever. Every 5 mins checks speed and sends text only if speed exceeds the value. Text: setarea*2531*A22.670000N114.140000E*B22.680000N114.150000E with A being bottom left and B being top right of quadrant. Every 5 mins checks gps and sends text only if outside quadrant. Text cancelalarm*2531 to cancel all the above Alarms. If you are considering paying $339 for the tracker, that price surprises me. I bought mine on Amazon for $160 in May of 2014. Maybe they have quit making them?

Possibly but haven't figured out how to set motion activation. Used it to see potential theft in locker as well but only runs for about 2 hrs or less unless larger capacity chip is uses

Hi George, Its motion activated, thats the only thing I use it for, If it is staying on for some reason then there is a defect

No, the only variable for motion is on or off. When you have the unit on, you can opt to have audio on or not. Not sure what your intentions or concerns are but the inventor/distributor may be able to address your questions or further inquiries.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc.it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email themit 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

I would not recommend turning the cams off and on but turn the motion activation off and on during height traffic times. This is done on you app or compute

Yes you can. It automatically switches whichever way. BUT it is pretty uncomfortable and bulky to use in that mode. :)

Unfortunately since it is motion activated, anything will set it off. I forgot about it a few times and it blasted me with a shot of water! Lol!

There is an option in the setup menu for Motion Detection (on/off). I leave mine off so it always records when power is on. I haven't tried the "on" setting. Note that I have 2 of these devices. I liked the first so much I bought a 2nd one for my wife's car. The 2nd one was defective and I had to return it to the vendor. Their support was horrible and their shipping time was over 7 days. The problem was resolved, but communication with the vendor was unbelievably bad.

How so? You can have it set on a time schedule so it will turn on at that time everyday. You can also set it up so it just goes by motions sensing (the senser sensitivity is also adjustable so and the range of motion is as well if I remember right). Of course you can set yours up to utilize both timed and motion sensing capabilities. Not sure what you mean by pulse but I hope that works

Yes, it is solely motion activated, but you would be surprised how little motion it takes.

If you mean to operate like a regular switch, then 'yes'. Take it off motion detection mode (see instructions). Then, only the button controls switch . . . .

Yes, but it's buried in the 8 pages of instructions with very tiny print, and to get to the point where you disable the motion sensor, you have to go through a long sequence of setting other options. I did it once, but after a power outage reset the unit and the motion sensor defaulted back to ON, I disconnected the unit and put it in a drawer. I don't anticipate using it again.

No, you don't have to activate it to use features other than calling. It will prompt for activation the first time it's turned on but this can be bypassed.

No, there is a separate (included) USB sensor that will detect your motion. I prefer this to save battery life.

This only works for motion sensing--that is, it will only come on if it senses motion, not when it gets dark.
