Can it be set to "motion activated" video? (And at night?) What's the distance that it actually takes to activate for photos/video? How far is the sight for night vision?

when you buy the camera make sure it says ''infrared'' for if it dose it should have a category of pic or video. If it dosebuy it.it will take video clips at night when the motion detector is triggered. If your using it for surveillance add more cammo nettingto the camera to break up image. Use rubber cement to attach extra cammo netting. Drill a hole in the back and attach it to tree with a power tool.it works! tauz

Yes, you can set to motion detection and at night too. however, my Hunten did not last very long. I bought a Browning and it works fine.

Mine is triggered by both heat and motion. If it is used in warm weather or mounted where it's exposed to sun, you will get a lot false triggers. I live in TX and about 85% of my photos/videos are false triggers. Also I am very disappointed at the quality of color photos/videos at night. Daylight photos/video are good.

The night vision works great 18 leds, I bought a cheap camera on ebay for $18.99 with 36 leds and it really gives about 90 feet vision the ones that came with the dvr are about 60 feet. They work best if the led night lights are bouncing off things in the dark like a wall or a building, But if someone does walk by it will light em up big time. Also get the next dvr model up for it has a nice Hdmi And the alert buzzer works great ELEC CVD 2008H on your model the sofwear shows a alert tab but its not supported by the dvr. Hope this helps look at ptz cameras on u tube also to see how well they work. Good Luck

When you're a novice like myself, the one thing everyone should do is tweak the "sensitivity" in advanced settings for "Motion Detection", I stopped a sh.. load of unnecessary e-mail notifications. AND also (for new "owners of), you DO have to "continue anyway" and click on that when you get certificate security warnings. There's also a recent firmware update for (DCS-932L)to 2.01 - probably the same with other cameras.

It does not have night vision, when room is dark you cant see anything..motion detection comes with your dvr's software not with the camera.

Hello... This particular camera does not automatically follow and focus on motion detected objects. There are cameras on the market that do, but those are very spendy.

There really isn't any way to adjust the motion detection. You can adjust the burst of photos (1, 5, 10, 30) and the resolution for photos.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

Barry! I just read now in the manual: Motion detection ON (enable) OFF (off). Try this when you connect 12 VDC to camera. It should detect motion. I never used this function either:-( Steve

Hi ... my light is mounted on a 5' fence to reach up to 45-50' around. I think the maximum motion detection range is about 65', but the higher mounting could increase the distance for motion detection. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for their answer if you need something more precise.

Yes it's excellent for outdoor light but wont recommend using it for motion-detection.

no "flash", it's infra red....not visible to human eye. Picture looks like a flash was used. Distance is therefore limited. I'd say 50 feet at night, for well lit picture.

Daytime photos/video are great. However, night time would be a problem...the quality is not good.... I would not recommend it for that purpose.....hope I helped answer your concerns...

It is line of sight (like a tv remote). Similar range (farthest I've used it is 20 ft - could go much farther). The biggest set back is the camera's internal sleep mode. Not sure how to set that, but I found if I'm setting up a difficult shot the camera goes to sleep before I get the chance to trigger the shutter.

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

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.

Detection: Mine will detect movement at least 25' away. You can see in the photo an angled cutout on each side of the sensor; you would want to mount it so movement is within that unobstructed range.Light distribution: The bottom of the lens is clear, so light will be cast down as well as out 180 degrees.
