does the motion detection Auto Snap the Photo ?

yes. But we don't suggest you to open motion detection, Because it is power consumption. Without motion detection on, it can still snap photo while visitors press the doorbell.

It doesn't. You either have to use a photo app with a self-timer or use it in video mode which is how I use it.

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!!!

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.

The other answer suggested the answer is no. However I recorded a short video and snapped pix while the video was recording and those pix were recorded as was the video. I doubt this is a feature I'd use since I generally don't record video on my camera.

It does, it's a pop-up flash on the top left. It can only be activated manually, a great feature so you don't have to worry about messing with flash options in the camera menu.

No. It's triggered only by a photo or vid being taken according to its settings.

Yes, the flash is automatic. Overall this is an amazing camera, taking gorgeous pictures and crystal clear video.

Yes, it does; it also auto crops photos... so you can scan like 4 at a time and it figures out how to crop them into individual pictures.

Yes, the motion detection (setup thru blue iris) works very well with this camera.

Nope. Any motion sensing would have to be done in the software. Most modern systems do it this way, these days. Keeps the cost down on the camera, anyway.

yes it does, it has 3 settings, photo only, photo and 3second burst or just video. All are triggered when sensed movement. I bought mine a few months ago and I have it set in my backyard to watch got anyone cutting through my yard as well....its worke great

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!

Hi! It take photos only when activated by motion. Great unit to own with a lot of functions to set it up per your need.Good luck.

I believe it does. I don't have the option enabled, but I saw it in the menu when I was doing the setup. Right now I have it set to just record when it detects motion.

No, the camera ejects the photo and it develops like the Polaroid system. The view finder is passive, not digital.

No. You have to position and manually move it urself. But it does capture a good amount of footage when placed in a good spot.
