Good question! It wil take picture under two circumstance: first press record button on the panel,second,when someone ring the bell. No, it can not detect motion. Many thanks for your concern.

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.

It records as long as it detects motion and then for 5 minutes with no motion. After 5 minutes, if there is no motion, it will shut off until it again detects motion. But you can change the preset so the camera records continuously regardless of motion if you wish.

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.

Motion recording is up to the DVR used. The camera doesn't have anything to do with it. So, the answer is no!

It has motion senors built in. If anything walks within the field of vision it will auto record if you set that feature up.

yes the system can be setup to record upon motion. i have mine setup to record constantly, so i don't have much experience on how exactly to do it. i also know that you can set it up to email you if a camera is triggered by motion. hope this helps

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.

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.

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

Using opensource software, I have been able to record on motion detection. I believe the SW allows you to set it up to record only at certain times.

No it doesn't record video, but it can be set up to take a snapshot and email it to you when motion is detected.

Yes, the software can and needs to be set for motion to trigger recording. You can adjust area on the screen, plus sensitivity. Like all camera systems, a fly on the camera lens, is the same as an elephant in the driveway. They both trigger the system.

No. The remote is not the only way to start and stop recording. The remote does not have a way to know whether the camera has been started manually. The remote does have tactile feedback when you press the start-stop button, and the LED flashes once with each press.

No this unit doesn't have motion detection and only takes a photo when someone presses the doorbell button or you press a button from inside. I can't recommend it and suggest you find another supplier. This unit has marginal quality, mine had dead pixels, and batteries die too frequently.

Unless you want to set a time to record, it will use motion detection to record. It is very sensitive. Mine picks up cats and sometimes wind blowing tree limbs.

Yes. The camera can be set to automatically record when motion is sensed by the camera.
