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

I am not sure how it detects motion , i think it detects sudden changes in light intensity . I have it mounted in the garage facing garage door and about 18 feet away from it and it was detecting motion through the little garage door glass opening. Motion sensitivity is adjustable .

no software. firmware built in. you can have it email when motion is detected. motion detection not foolproof. if I were to buy another camera I would probably not buy foscam

Yes! Just use the motion sensor mode and it will detect any movement and record it.

No motion detection on the camera itself. Most dvrs have motion detection recording though.

These cameras do have motion detection. I run them for viewing on a monitor 24/7, but only when there is motion does it record anything and send you an alert if you want one. When you go back and look it only shows when motion was detected.

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.

No, my model (GC-XA2) does not have motion detection... you might have to look into a game camera for that. Good Luck!

I did not buy a motion detector but I love the door bell. You may hae a good idea about the motion dectector. If you decide please let me know.

Sorry. I haven't used the cameras for motion detection. They can be set up to notify your iPhone, iPad upon motion with the Foscam Pro app. The app can record a picture or up to 60 seconds of video upon motion. I just haven't had the need to do it at this point. The night vision on the camera is pretty good but I'm not sure how far it will "see" things through a window especially at night.

The one I purchased works fine. It does have a very sensitive motion sensor with a wide angle. Check to see if there is any moving object within the swath of the detector.

No, the camera itself does not. The camera is just a camera and requires a DVR for viewing. We have a Lorex BlackBox DVR and it handles the motion detection and notification emailing.
