It lists "16.record Video record / Audio record / Motion detect record." Does "motion detect" mean motion detection to record when parked?

the motion detect is basically there to help with space on your memory card/internal. if it is set to on and you pull up to a light/get stuck in traffic, it will stop recording after a short time of no movement. one you start moving again, it will begin recording again. it will not record when the vehicle is turned off and the camera is off and there is movement. this camera doesn't have the parking features that other cameras have.

Yes, you would use that mode when parked. If you used it when the vehicle is in motion it would be a moot point since the view is constantly changing. Its there to keep the cam from running perpetually without recording any action. This keeps you from having watch eight hours of grass growing to find the 30 second segment that shows your ex girlfriend keying your car.

What the "motion detect" does is record only movement such as a person walking by the camera or if the camera itself moves, like when someone hits your car. In between this nothing is recorded. If motion detect is set to off it only records while you are driving/moving, but once the car is no longer in motion it will not record something like someone walking around your car.

Sorry I am just finding this message. It was a piece of crap and I returned it. Don't know if you can connect it to a dvr. It's not a functioning some detector and it never recorded anything. It was supposed to be motion activated and it didn't. Hope you didn't waste your money. Sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'm pretty sure I returned it before you posted this question.

No, there is not a motion detect mode. The record button must be pressed on either the camera or the app. Also the camera will automatically power off after 5 mins on standby.

I have this camera set for motion detecting, but I believe that is a DVR setting. Camera works great set up this way. Excellent quality. The poset supply that comes with it goes direcly to an outlet. I purchased a separate cable that was 100'; it was a combo.cable that went to DVR and one to the outlet. Hope this helps

2to 3 days,then the memory will get full,its best to set it on motion detection record,that way you only record when it detects motion,that way you don't use a lot of memory up for nothing.

The memory card MUST be inserted when the camera is unplugged. In Storage - Storage Setup, make certain that "Storage:" is set to Enable, and that "Store to:" is set to "SD card", and that the "Store directory:" is set to "IPCAMERA", "Max Space:" is Unlimited, and "Max files" is 5000. These should be the default settings if the camera was powered on with the memory card installed. In Task - Task Management, put a checkmark next to "Record to storage on alarm". Also, in Task - Motion Detection, make certain that you have the motion detection settings set up correctly.

Yes. You can set to motion detect but it is fairly sensitive. Leaves blowing trip it. It trips with a 3sec or so delay. Records for 30 seconds, then off if no more motion. Also has sound and good night vision. Not bad for the price. Recommend large SD card to store data.

From my experience, it will record the previous 10 seconds before the motion and the 10 seconds after the motion. If motion is still detected by the camera during the recording time, it will just continue to record until the motion stops and of course the 10 seconds after the motion stops.

I don't know how it does it but, the camera records video clips perfectly when motion is detected. It records you just enough before and after motion is detected to give you exactly what you need to see. You will have to adjust sensitivity to tweak the camera based upon your installation location, very easy. I absolutely LOVE this product!!!

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.

No not there is no motion detection it just constant recording. However the video and audio qualities are great for the price.

Yes the recorder recognizes motion in various sensitivity, that being said the detection is that of half of the visual distance. The recording time line will show red as to alarm. The sample increments can also be varied.

It has an auto sensor to switch between night and day. The DVR recorder is what will need to have the motion detection to adjust weather it records, or weather it notifies you that there is something worth noting. Well this is to the best of my knowledge any way, and hope it helps.

Its considered an occupancy sensor which is the same thing basically. It comes on when the building is occupied and is activated with motion.

hi when you chose the motion detection , your camera will start recording as soon as there is a movement in front of the visual fields . and if you have two cameras (front and back) it will still work that way for both of them .

Yes. I have my system set to motion detection so that it doesn't record all the time. Be sure to check the recordings periodically so that the memory/hard drive doesn't fill up too quickly.

Yes. Motion can be enabled or disabled on a per camera basis. Area of motion detected is also easily adjusted per camera. For instance, you need to exclude a bush that blows in the breeze - you simply mark boxes within a grid to disable detection. Similarly, recording is also set on a per camera basis. Time restraint recording also per camera. It's a nice system! I've had mine on 24/7 for 2 years with no problems. The box says they're good to 10 degrees, mine had no problems with -25 temps last week.
