I want to take a picture when someone knocks on my door. Is there a motion detector in this peephole device

Hi Ginny Sorry, but the peephole does not have motion detect. It is going to take a picture or record a video when someone presses the bell.

It records as soon as someone ring the doorbell. I forgot to check if it does have a motion detector. You can't access the recorded feed remotely. It is meant to show you who's outside the door when your home without peeking at the peephole plus taping it so you know who tried to visit you while you're gone. It is really a fun useful gadget. I have it in my condo in Asia. If you want to access the feed remotely and record it in an sweetdreams card, I have the security camera at the house here for that. And yes, it has a motion detector, light sensor so it can record in the dark etc. pretty much what you wanted. I can't use this in the condo since the association is pretty strict about the common space which I'm perfectly fine with. Have a great weekend.

NO. Also keep in mind, fence gates are not a tight fit. Not only that, on a breezy day... your alarm will be going off every 2 seconds! You would be better off with a motion detector facing an area of none movement that would intercept any movement. Hope this helps.

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

No, "alarming" is not a motion detector.It's the bell when someone press the doorbell. thanks.

This is one of eight cameras i have. This one is high in the front of my house. Not very good res., and it does not set off the motion detector. Sorry.

You just get a digital peephole viewer where nobody on the outside can see a shadow pass over the peephole so they can't tell if somebody is watching them or not. No recording possible. Period.

Camera Based Motion detection has always been problematic. the best ones let you set specific areas to monitor (like your desk rather that your whole office, or the gate and doorway rather that the whole back yard, etc). I haven't bought this one yet so I don't know if that feature is offered, but it is pretty standard.

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

The only way I am aware of is to look at the app. I do not see anyway to program it to alert you the door is open.

No the motion sensor is automatically included. Even if you don't have the subscription it will still notify you of motion, but it won't be recorded.

I am not sure that would work. I think this device uses temperature changes to detect movement. For example, I have this right next to my front door. If I open the door (and it opens into the sensor) nothing happens, as soon as my body is clear from the door then the device detects something. Perhaps something using the contact closure module will be more effective.

No motion detection built into the camera. It can function as a web cam so maybe motion detection could implemented through a computer.

Yes! I have mine set up at an entry door to my house. I get an alert within seconds of motion. Then I can use the app to view the video. At any time you can use the app and see what the camera sees. It's a great investment for peace of mind.

Put the camera on motion detection and will email you of any motion. Don't keep the camera on all the time leave it on motion.

Not a motion sensor. Does not shine bright either. I purchased it and tried to return it within 30 days and the vendor refused.

The doorbell part also includes the camera. The instructions tell you to route the wires through the existing peephole, or if you don't have one already, to drill a hole for the wiring. I guess you could put it on the doorframe, but then you would not be able to see who was at the door, or just whatever level you would put the doorbell at. You would likely have to do some additional wiring for it to reach your viewer. Best to put it in the normal (peephole) position.
