If it continuously senses motion, will it keep sending video clips, or is there a built-in delay before it will send another?

The cam will continue to send motion alerts to you and continue to record motion. they have a web site that you can customize the way you want the cam to operate. It will be your personal home page for your cam and is very easy to use. The cam is probably one of the best if not the best available to home owners in this price range with it's functionality. I would definitely spend the little extra and purchase the HD model you are inquiring about, the picture resolution is very good compared to other cam on the market. Set up is fairly easy. When you log on to the site it will walk you through the process and they provide instructions with the cam as well. However the APP is constantly being upgraded and sometimes won't allow remote operation of the cam using your cell phone for instance. I am confident that the APP issue will be resolved. Set up is much easier than that of any other cams I have seen. Hope this helps. DON

It depends on how sensitive you put the settings I have mine up just a little so it's only when a fast movement comes and the duration is about 30sec-2mins at a time

It appears to continuosly send. I say this because a majority of clips that I see are about 20 seconds long, however when there is continuos activity, I have seen clips for a minute and a half or more.

It depends on how sensitive you program the camara. There is a delay but I've had my camara/video clips run for as long as almost 2 minutes. I suppose if you had two or more camaras strategically placed it could compensate for delay.

Yes, the motion detection will work through a window. The camera take images continuously and compares. If sequential images differ, something moved. You will likely want to turn of the night vision feature because the LEDs will reflect off the widow distorting the images.

Not that I have noticed, but the software records at about a 1-2 second delay. So make sure you use a second monitor/TV.

It will record continuously, but can also be set to record on motion detection. How long it records depends on available hard drive space and what you're recording. I am recording two DCS-932L cameras at 12-15FPS using high-quality (recently increased from medium) MJPEG 640x480. I have a 1TB external drive and typically get about 8.5 days backlog before it begins to automatically overwrite the oldest recorded video. If you use h.264 encoding it will probably store more video (due to the better compression), and if you record at higher resolutions it will probably not record as much before having to overwrite.

I perceive NO DELAY at all. The video transmission is very fast with no noticeable latency. When I attach a video camera to the RF transmitter, and a video monitor to the RF receiver, I do NOT notice any lag between the image on the video monitor and what the video camera sees. I have to say that for their low price, this RF transmitter / receiver pair provides top-notch performance and superb value.

I don't know, I only have pictures on my unit. But I would figure if it keeps running through the pictures, it would do the same with a video.

it has a min. .10 seconds and a max.60 seconds i believe .........i have mine up right now or i would double check..........it might have a max.of only .30 seconds(sorry) but those are the ranges and then there is a delay mode which is kind of "cool" which gives u default .05 seconds or u can set it to .30 seconds max. in between the video that just recorded and the next video.............so it isnt just taking one after the other after the other(breaks the videos up)............

There is a slight delay, maybe 1 second at most. I don't use it this way. I only capture footage from my DVR, and I have it connected with a 1x2 HDMI switch box where only 1 signal is active at the same time, which mean that when I'm capturing footage, only the PC receives a signal. You could hook up a 1x2 HDMI splitter which is active on all feeds at the same time, but I've found that those can be kind of unreliable and they are much more than I need for my particular setup.

Audio seems instantaneous when you switch but it takes 1-2 seconds for the video to appear.

Yes. I have my system set to motion detection so that it doesn't record all the time. Be sure to check the recordings periodically so that the memory/hard drive doesn't fill up too quickly.

No it does not. Its recorded automatically to your hard drive if motion is detected.
2209702
Mine only records when motion triggers it and it records for 30 seconds or as long as there is enough motion to be detected. You can set it to record over old recording if it is at capacity. I have a SD card that I download to my pc if I want to keep it, otherwise I just delete everything after a few days.

Hi Elena,In my case it depended on my settings; once I set the camera to email photo files every time a motion was detected, I found that it almost instantly prompts emails that contain photos. Depending on your connection and your memory allocation on your mobile phone or computer, you should be able to start and accumulate sequential shots during and after the incident. I tested the camera after I set and activated it before I left the house; since I was the only one in the space at the time, the motion detector picked up all my moves instantly and I had received almost 5 emails on my mobile phone even before I had gotten out the door. I hope this helps.

If you mean does it start the next video when one ends.......it does. I haven't tried to see if it plays the same one over and over.

Constantly. I have the 7 day service so I can go back and view video from any time in the last 7 days regardless if there was motion that triggered it. Sporadically I will have a short drop due to wifi connection but usually for very short periods of time and very infrequent. I make sure my camera is near strong wifi source.

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.

It records one video, as long as there is motion to record. Once it stops, it does not restart, so is not actually motion activated, which would continue to start and stop, each time there was motion to record.
