About the snapshot that you get, when does it take the picture - is it 10 seconds after motion is detected? 5 seconds? 30 seconds?

It seems like it's starts recording as soon as motion is detected. But it's a video recording, not a snapshot. Hope that helps.

It's actually a few seconds BEFORE the motion... Pretty cool feature and one reason I really like these cameras.

It depends on the device your are using to look at the pictures. I get notification via my Email. I look at my email thru smart phone, ipad, and desktop computer. You can view pictures at any time on those devices. The camera takes the pictures instantly once motion is detected. Viewing may be delayed a view seconds. This is a great home monitor.

It takes a video. Every time I go back to watch the video it shows the video as soon as the person enters the area. I believe there is a live watching delay but sure there is no recording delay.

The camera records continuously. When it detects motion, it saves a clip starting about 6 seconds before the event occurs.

Hi there, sorry for the late response but we just started using this. The shutter delay is basically non-existent, it snaps as soon as the button is pushed which is awesome! Highly recommend!

I would say it takes the picture immediately. Much quicker than my old Nikon Coolpix did, where there was a definite lag. If you are taking a photo which uses flash, then it takes more time, but not for daylight photos.

No. It is motion activated. You set it up leave it and it only takes pics and video when something moves in front of it day or night

I do not know exactly how long it takes to trigger the camera but it has been acceptable for my use (still photo's at a mineral lick). The trigger intervals can be set at 20 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes. CAUTION: I purchased my camera about 4 month ago and it worked great for 5 weeks before it failed. I returned it to Wildview, they "repaired" it and sent it back to me approximately 3 weeks later. I put it back out and it worked fine for about 4 weeks before it failed again.

This camera has a real sensitive sensor that activates quickly and picks up even the smallest movement. Now as far as how fast the camera resets, it depends on how you use it. If you have it on a food plot or feeder it will generally reset within 5 seconds. If your set up on a trail to check what's passing through I suggest turning over to video mode because the camera catches the first movement but the animal may be gone before it resets for another picture. I hope this helps you!

Mine is about 3 seconds unless I hold but don't push the button then I control when it takes it and there is no lag.... Very good STARTER camera....

Motion detection does not automatically take a picture. However when motion deduction notifies the app you can manually take a picture via the app.

No, it is motion recording. You can set motion zone on the camera. Once motion detected it starts record, also includes 5 sec. before motion. It keeps last 7 days motion video. Hope it helps.

I found one review saying 4 seconds between flash, but on mine with new, fully charged NiMH batteries it is more like 10 seconds (by stopwatch) between pictures....

Thanks to this question, I just learned something about the camera. When I used the camera recently, I noticed I had to wait about five seconds between shots. I just discovered a button on the back that looks like a target. After taking a picture, I can press that button and shoot again immediately.

If you set the camera up to take photos at the correct intervals it should (every sec) it should capture the picture. But if its running it probably will be blurry. Not alot of deer run at night unless being chased and remember the pic will be b and w

The camera is not motion activated. It can be heat sensing or time lapse. One or the other not both.

No delay on snapping pics if you turn off the review. Some settings may have a little. I am happy with the battery life. I snapped about 200 pics with flash at a 3 hour reception and still had battery life left to take plenty of nature pics on a hike the next day.

It is much like a kitchen timer. You turn it clockwise and returns counterclockwise. It has markings that indicate 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The camera will also record the ticking sound of the camalapse. I've noticed that it stops before it reaches 0. For silent recordings with phones or point and shoot cameras, or even the GoPro, Camalapse works fine. Personally I'd have preferred a silent and more accurate device. It won't hold a DSLR tho. Hope this helps.

Quite unscientific, but an educated guess is about two seconds from press button, take pic, process/view, manually take next picture. Fastest camera I have ever used. Of course you can also use it in the "burst or continuous" mode and take multiple pics in one press. In that mode, it is of course, much faster as you are not displaying each pic until you stop and choose to view. Hope it helps.

Also note that any camera will slow down the "time between shots" if you use flash and maximum resolution and HD. But 5-10 seconds is absurd. Let us know if the extra firmware update improves this.
