The only video integration I'm aware of is via SmartThings Labs with DropCam - check it out here: http://blog.smartthings.com/news/roundups/eyes-home-dropcam/

I ran this motion sensor camera to a dvr. From the dvr, you can review video. Depending on your remote access and software, you can also review video that way.

If you're already set up to have Video on your Pulse system, then no. If not... you need to "upgrade" your system, which in our case required having the tech come out and install an indoor camera for $50. ADT didn't have any process for activating video support without having a tech working on the iHub and adding a camera. Annoying, but we ended up putting the indoor camera in the garage, and these outside.

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

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

The camera needs to be located near your wireless router. Mine are about 200 feet from the router and both are outside of the house. You can watch the output of the cameras from any internet link. I have software called "Vitamin D" that records the video and lets me monitor on my PC at home. On my iPhone I have an app called Pro Surveilance and it works great. I can watch my house from anywhere.

The software must be running on a PC to upload video and images. So if you need video 24x7 then yes, the PC must be on the entire time. The other option is to have the cameras FTP or email the images when motion is detected. Though you will miss a lot versus using Blue Iris.

This has to be used in conjuction with a DVR System if you want to be able to review the video.

Obstructions/trees and other factors come into play with this - honestly only you can answer that question - we have a similar size house and property is large and only have two cameras based off the front of the house - porch and driveway - but then that's us. Best of luck - they're good cameras we'll say that for sure!

You can choose either option. I am currently doing all video, time lapse, all channels. I just have it e-mail me when it detects motion (some channels I have motion detection scheduled only for certain times and certain areas). It's pretty versatile.

No, It would not be worth the effort to try and do that. It is a very basic camera and requires old technology. It is cheap and effective if you are wanting to watch the front desk or something of that nature.

I asked myself the same question until I realized that this product has no motion detector feature. This is fake. They only put a sticker on the box for the advertising. Let me know if you can do it otherwise let the product have a bad review.

Your using it to monitor the exterior of your home from the interior of your home directly through a window? If so, I don't have an answer for that. It wouldnt expect it to do that, it is not the proper camera to do so. Get an exterior camera with the proper width and leds to do so. Just for example, have you ever tried to recording through the inside of your house to the outside with your camcorder. It's never worked very well, very bad focus. Look into an exterior cam. Mine works great.

I use the camera as a security camera looking out the front window of my house. The light sensitivity is not very great so you will need light. More to your question of being able to see the entire room, the angle of view is also not very wide. I use a cheap magnetic stick on wide angle add-on lens I picked up from Wal-Mart that was for a cheap hand-help video camera, Flip I believe, that helped a lot in the wide angle viewing. Also, if you use the WiFi for the connection, you will need a good strong signal. Mine use to loose connection and not be able to link back up without power cycling the camera. I added a WiFi access point to my network closer to the camera and that took care of that problem.

Yes you have to add video. It will record on a cloud( not sure if there's a memory limit). you can set to motion or within a specific time period to record or take a picture. I have all my outside cameras set to take a picture when motion is activated. ADT Pulse system text or email you an alert.. get stuff

From you main monitor. It should have video out from behind and run it into your head unit.
