can I control the motion detector setting from online so it won't waste recording time when i'm home?

hello wendy, you can setup the alarm recording schedule . For example , if you are at home from 18:00 pm to 7:00 am and don't need alarm recordings, then you configure the camera detection working schedule range 7:00 am to 18:00pm. it means that the camera doesn't record at night. You can configure the 24 hours and also 7 days motion detection range .

You can set it to record on at schedule an take photos by motion detection on a schedule and it has an option to send an email... I have not used the email though so not sure how that works but there is a place in it's setup to enter the information for that.

I believe that the motion sensor will activate the light without having to record, the record function has a separate on/off switch. This unit does require hard wiring, it does not run on batteries.

Yes, you can use it with different software enabling it to do anything. It will also record 24/7 with the original software. Be advised you will always see a light on, green during the day and many red ones during the night. Additionally, you can have it always on; but only recording for motion or alarm (external trigger) to conserve storage space.

It can't be set to only turn on by motion it is always on, but your recorder can be set to only record from camera when motion is detected. That is all controlled by your recorder though and not the camera.

No motion sensor. Also, recording pauses if you play a song. You can set it to resume when the song is over, but it's a roll of the dice. The manual claims that there are all sorts of settings and button functionalities. But they seem to work on an arbitrary basis. The only thing it does consistently is record whilst looking like a clock. I wouldn't rely on it for much else.

Not sure exactly. There is a phone app in general. And I thought there was a feature that you could set it to auto record for 15-30 seconds after motion was detected.

Because it's a motion detector, I don't think it will be very reliable in those settings.

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, I have done it two ways. FTP server and iSPY. I highly recommend the iSPY program. It is free and easier to setup. I only have done this with a wired connection though. FTP server setup is confusing to do, and i only got it working with scheduled recordings not motion sensor.

I use mine at home and it is always set to motion, it is always on and running. Every time it picks up on movement it will chime and take a short 5 sec video at that exact time. The monitor will flash on top of screen letting me know that it has recorded something. You can then go in through settings to see what it picked up on. I absolutely love mine, although at times the signal strength is not the best do to it having to travel through 3 walls. I couldn't place it in the living room where I wanted it because it was too far from the camera itself.

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

have your system wired so the motion sensors are all on one zone. that way you ca program your system to "stay". it turns off the inside stuff and keeps door and glass-break sensors active

It will mark on the video feed sections where it sensed motion, and you can set the sensitivity. It also lets you send a email, but I have never tired that. Unfortunately my motion capture seems to be having issues. Where it would normally mark the video in red where it sees motion I get sections of video that are missing, I have tried replacing the main DVR (NVR) but I still have the issue. The issue was not happening when I first got my unit, so not sure what caused it to start happening and others do not seem to have this issue.

You can when you are using manual activation and no when you are using motion sensor,but, you really dont need to. At least we have not. We just love it!

Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.

You would have to buy the motion detector accesory if you want that feature.
