How do you set up for motion detection triggered alarm? Do you need a separate motion detector or is it built in?

it is controlled by the software that comes with the camera. It is very easy to use. I did not use the instructions. I just used the software.

The camera refers to motion detection as an "alarm". You can select what you want the camera to do once the motion is detected. In general, motion detection works by comparing the current video frame with the averages of the previous video frames. Any difference is considered to be motion, and the sensitivity adjustment can be used to make the camera more aware or less aware of small amounts of motion. The factory default setting for motion detection is a single motion detection window covering the entire visible area. The "Motion Detection" menu allows you to designate up to 4 separate windows with individually adjustable sensitivity. After selecting "Motion detection" from the main settings screen, you may need to expand the size of the display window towards the right to see the 4 controls for individual motion detection windows. Each window can have individually adjustable sensitivity and threshold. Please note that this "Motion Detection" menu is entirely optional and is generally not used unless you have very specific requirements to treat motion on some parts of the screen different from other parts.

It's built in, when you access the app (AnyScene) or log in online; you can manage the alerts under camera settings.

The trigger amperage of a motion detector is not sufficient to power this siren, nor most any other standard sirens for that matter. What you will want to do is use a sensitive trigger relay in between your motion detector and the siren. You will also need to supply the proper voltage to the relay as well. That way, when the low voltage of the detector is tripped, the relay will connect the higher voltage to the siren.

Ed there needs to be a switch inline I used a motion detector off a porch light.Since the circuit is 12 v the 110 motion detector is wired to a 12 volt transformer usually from radio shack.These work very good for circuits which are for alerting motion.

The camera has a motion sensor, you can set the system such way that when motion is detected by the camera, the receiver unit makes a sound alarm, display the image and record what the camera is seeing .

no, it is not a motion detector. it comes on when it is a certain level of darkness and goes off with a certain level of light.

I'm only using it as a camera connected to DVR. I have not used any other features that may be on the camera. I am unaware that it has motion detection built in. Regards

Sorry ...I can't help you on that. I don't have any of those motion detectors. I just use lights and small appliances. It probably will just let you turn the unit on or off just as if you were pulling the plug but I think you would need seperate lights to turn on and off without the detector part. I have motion detectors around our chicken coop for predators, and also other lights with an outside switch. The motion lights are plugged in all the time.

turn off motion sensor when home, save storage, turn on when gone for alerts. i don't know the minute answer

There are two models, and one has an attached motion detector. It does not have a remote or removable motion detector.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it 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

I'm sure you can. You only need to purchase or have a good motion detector connected as a switch

Use 120 volt motion detector module from Home Depot or Lowes. Hook white wire and blue to low side of line(White); Hook black wire to high side of line(Black); Hook green/Yellow to ground wire of line(Green); Hook red wire and brown together with wire nut.Jim Hanson

Yes, that's true, I just tried it. The thief will activate it at least momentarily before turning off the unit. I don't think think this unit was intended only as a bike alarm but rather a general motion sensor alarm because there is a single keyhole on the back of the unit for wall mounting. Hope this helps.

Hi Dave, Outdoor motion sensors are usually workable cheap single or chained units used for driveways or sidewalks etc. They beep once when a car or person etc walk by. To the best of my knowledge no one builds one that trips a dry contact alarm or horn etc., so when they go off and you are asleep forget it. However is you have a home alarm system you could place a motion sensor outside under the eves for example and the control panel should pick it up just fine. Some panels allow you to set zones etc. which can be used when asleep to alert you of unwanted activity etc.

I asked myself the same question until I realized that this product has no motion detector feature. This is fake. They only put a sticker on the box for the advertising. Let me know if you can do it otherwise let the product have a bad review.

Yes, the motion is detected through the camera. The only thing is you may get some reflection from the IR night vision LEDs. The motion sensing is sensitive to light changes so when near a windows it will detect motion if the the sun switches brightness because of clouds. I get lots of snapshots of just light changes, which it ok for my purposes but would not be ok if you where to want an alarm to sound on motion detection. These cameras are sensitive to light since they are made for indoors and it can get too bright for the camera if there is direct sunlight hitting the camera.

Yes, the Camera has motion detection built in. Works well with the ones I have. Set them up thru Nexia to send you a text every time the built in PIR is triggered.
