I have a few questions, I am buying this to see who is stealing money in my house. How soon do you receive an email after motion is detected?

Hi Elena,In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

I went with the suggested1tb internal hard drive. I set it up to send me an email when the motion detector is triggered.

If he knows when your moving from room to room I would have law enforcement check your apartment for video cameras or listening devices that he has installed that you ARE NOT aware of. I would do this soon!

motion detector and records for 4 minutes when triggered. can be re triggered by continued motion. I have been very happy with it. the infrared function, however is questionable

Yes. Use Gmail as your notification email address. Then go to "Tech Awakening" on the internet, you'll need to find it using Google search. They have a page that shows you how to set up sms alerts, using Gmail and Google calenders that sends you a sms everytime you get an email from a particular address. Its free! You will now get a text on your mobile everytime you get a motion alert, you can then go to the internet and see what its about. Works a treat!

Motion detection photos can be stored via FTP or emailed to you. There are settings to do that. Also, the suggestion that mentions DropBox is good.

Not by itself. It's made to hook into your Insteon network. It can send a message to nearby light switches or you can get an ISY or other such home automation controller which can send email (or perform any number of actions) when a message from the detector is received.

I have, and use, a Mac. I receive both audio and video without any issues. I monitor remotely on my iPhone, and have the system set to send me email alerts if motion is detected while I'm away from home. I imagine that the same would be true of a PC, but cannot verify that through personal experience.

My first DVR from Security Man worked great for about 3 months. Then, nothing. Would not playback, erase, nothing. I purchased anouther one due to the price, it has been working great for about 2 months. I'm selling the house now, I hope it lasts til closing.

The Email is a bit of a pain to set up. However, once you get it to work it works fine. I set it to give me alerts on a motion event. Which it does perfectly.

You can activate the motion detection setting on the camera where it will email you 6 pictures at a time every 20 seconds when it detects motion. This is great where you could then email the police that someone is in your home and have pictures of them in action. The motion detection can be fine tuned to not detect shadows or moving tree branches as false motion readings. It takes pictures day or night with the infra red camera.

Yes the unit has motion detection. You can vary the sensitivity and you can also specify the parts of the picture that should be sensitized. That way you can ignore things that normally move like bushes and trees, rocking chairs etc. Yes it does E-mail or FTP to a location you define. I have also found apps for he iPhone that work quite well remotely. it is called MEyeProHDV4. I think I paid a couple bucks for it, but I saw that there was a free version as well. User interface on the box has lots of features and seems to work ok. I had some confusion setting the time, but it was not hard to make it display the correct time. The daylight savings time is a bit weird. Overall the unit has been doing well over the last couple years. No failures, camera mounts are as tough as I would like, but they have not broken.

It does have motion detection and you can set it to send you an e.mail if it is set off.

It sends an email alert to your smartphone with a pic. I found a lag between when the alarm was triggered and being alerted, therefore I use an inexpensive ' driveway alarm' with multiple sensors with separate sounds to be alerted and where. Hope that helps.

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

You can opt for motion detection recording only, always recording of all or specified cameras, or set a schedule for recording of specified or all cameras. Emails occurr with ALL events recorded though so if you have a car, dog, or windy area, you will be notified each time one trips the camera so it can really get excessive if you have a lot of events(motion). The motion "trigger" can also be set for sensitivity.
