Motion detection sensitivity
595971
A note to anyone who has the Loftek CXS 2200 -- the documentation is incorrect on adjusting the "Motion detection sensibility" setting. The sensitivity is actually at its highest when set to 10, not 1. If you are having problems getting any motion alarms, and are trying to increase the detection rate by setting the value lower as the docs indicate, that might explain why you think motion detection doesn't work. I have confirmed this with Loftek technical support. I have mine set to 8 and it is working well.

Motion detection works great but they will not turn on at all if there's a little light in the area.  This is by design so you don't waste battery power but the light sensor is too sensitive.  Room has to be almost pitch dark for the motion sensor to work.

There is a long delay of several seconds when video is captured.  And even if I set sensativety to max of 30(?) feet, it only detects motion when I was 3 feet away.

Night vision works well, Motion is a little weak but does work! Came right up on the system. I use it wireless and no troubles .

Has excellent detection of motion (in distance).  Picture quality is satisfactory.  My only (minor) complaint is the location of the sim card pocket.  It is a little difficult for 80-year-old fingers to pinch the 16th of an inch or so clearance for pinching the sim card for removal without dropping the card.  All my other cameras have sim card pockets on the bottom of the camera and provide more clearance for pinching and removing the card.

It's nice and bright.  The motion detection on the second one I bought seems to be less sensitive than on the first one.  You may find that better or worse for your application.

I have this as well as the YI Home 1080P.  I'm going to make this short... All the positive reviews are accurate - this is a great product at 1/2 the price and The Big boys.  Activity Zone motion detection is excellent.  I have it only extending to the where my driveway meets the sidewalk.  A couple walking the dog on the sidewalk (not in the motion zone) did not set off the motion detection, but when the dog came on the driveway (in the detection zone) it did.

I'd suggest getting an SD card and the motion detecting cloud subscription.

Lastly, support has been great with replies coming with in 24 hours.

I got this camera because I needed the feature that sends me an email with photos each time a motion is detected.  It took about 30 minutes to set up, and a few small sensitivity adjustments over the next week - in order to reduce false alarms.  The only ones I get are sometimes around dusk there is a flicker in the camera - but it is easy to ignore.  Being able to block out sections of the view, such as the far street and wind chimes within view, really helped.
It has been running for over a month with no problems.  The quality of the images is definitely high enough to identify persons approaching the house.  I have the ability to log onto the camera to view in real-time from a computer or my iPhone.
Unlike some other cameras, like Dropcam - except for the real-time viewing it uses no bandwidth or affects upload usage limits.  The only internet usage it has are sending periodic emails.

Great value for money, motion detection is excellent quality of finish much better than one would expect.  Lots of uses.

without the ability to block out parts of the scene to ignore motion, you just get deluged with motion alerts that aren't relevant to what you want to monitor.  boo.  there is no sensitivity setting that works well for this purpose either.  by the time I drop the sensitivity to ignore street traffic, the camera only activates about 50% of the time for people actually coming through the area I care about.  The limitations of the sync module signal strength are very constraining also, with regard to camera placement :(  Cool idea, delivery needs some work

We've had it for two weeks and love it so far!! It was easy to install and set up. It has a wide range of view and a good sensitivity for motion detection. All in all, we love it!

This camera is great !
Image quality is good. I'm getting live stream with no issues.
The only problem is the motion alerts. It's not always let u know on time.

We set the system up with 4 wireless motion detectors.  3 are the outdoor type and one indoor for the garage.  I was surprised how well they detected in the dark.  So far so good.  My husband put the outdoor ones in little bird houses that he made.  We also have this on a timer for night detection only as we did not want our cats upset with the noise...  So far so good and I would recommend to a friend...

Average camera, good for live video & SD card recording but very bad for motion detection. It says motion detection but it only detect by sound what i observed.

It is very easy to set up and to use. Just the sensitivity of motion detections is not very good. it will be a perfect security camera system if Netgear can improve the motion detection range.
