Can this camera send an alert to the iphone, etc. when it detects motion? Can't be watching it 24 hours a day.

Yes, there are two types of alerts that you can receive when the motion sensor is triggered. First one is a push notification directly to your iOS or Android device. Second, is email alerts. You can enable the alerts via mobile or web app.

Have to be subscribed to their isecurity+ software service, like $7 a camera per month. Don't think you can get messaging to smart phone/tablet, etc without their service ( isecurity+). Then you have instant messaging 24x7. Seems their system down last two days, can't even get on website.

We are now offering free push notifications for +CAM Pro users if you upgrade your camera to the latest firmware! You will get a push notification if your camera detects movement and you will then have the option to login and see what the camera has detected. If you would like movement/ event recordings of what our camera is seeing, you would still use our iSecurity+Video services which can be purchased either annually or monthly. We also have a 30 day free trial of of event recording available as well.

Yes, it does do this if you sign up for their recording service, which offers a free 30 day trial then a small monthly fee per cam. All the recorded motion shots are archived online.

The Belkin HD camera works fine using the Belkin app showing a live feed to my iPhone 4S. An optional setting for motion detection sends an email to you with two photo snaps attached when motion is detected. This is best set when you are not at home since quite a bit of email traffic can be generated. Seems to work just fine with nice full color in normal light an quite good night vision images in total darkness..

If you are using EasyN app on iPhone this may help, make sure port is 25 or defult and sender and recipient 1 are the same email (your email). Then in the main menu (were you move the camera, like a big star) scroll right to left and look for "motion detection" click ON and "Send mail on alarm" click ON. Your are now ready. My best to you.DaLi

If activity recognition/detection actually works, you will get alerts. There are other posts/reviews about how well activity recognition/detection works. When the camera doesn't detect any activity you will receive zero alerts. Keep in mind that the activity recognition (which allows alerts) is only in "beta" stage. And based on my experience and others, it really is a "beta" product.

Yes, the motion is detected through the camera. The only thing is you may get some reflection from the IR night vision LEDs. The motion sensing is sensitive to light changes so when near a windows it will detect motion if the the sun switches brightness because of clouds. I get lots of snapshots of just light changes, which it ok for my purposes but would not be ok if you where to want an alarm to sound on motion detection. These cameras are sensitive to light since they are made for indoors and it can get too bright for the camera if there is direct sunlight hitting the camera.

Yes and no. You can set the SmartGuard to not light up during the day when the sensor detects movement but the camera will still record. I'm not sure if you can set the SmartGuard to only record at night without the light, which doesn't seem practical since there might not be enough light for the camera to capture a picture without the light at night.

The camera is triggered by motion, yes. It then saves the pic on the camera card then transfers to the storage box. There is NO alert feature with these cameras, just storage.

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.

Sorry. I haven't used the cameras for motion detection. They can be set up to notify your iPhone, iPad upon motion with the Foscam Pro app. The app can record a picture or up to 60 seconds of video upon motion. I just haven't had the need to do it at this point. The night vision on the camera is pretty good but I'm not sure how far it will "see" things through a window especially at night.

Thats a very good question... The glass is not clear so I'm not sure if the sensor would be able to detect motion at all times.

Negative. Even with the app running the audio is poor. Hope this helps. As a side, the email alerts do not work properly. Even with a strong Wi Fi signal, I continue to get many false motion detected email alerts. Belkin even switched out all my cameras but still have the same problem.

The camera is powered by a standard outlet. I am not sure if the camera can be triggered on by motion detection. We use it for a continuous live feed. It should work installed behind a glass window. You just might need to make sure to keep the glass clean for a clear image.

Hello: Yes you can set the cam to motion detection mode but keep in mind you'll have to have a constant power supply while your car is turned off. Of course I don't know what direction you'd be looking at. Out the windsheild is normal. I would really recommend this unit. The picture quality is fantastic. A 32GB card will give you about 8 hours of recording time. Don't use a class 10. The crappy manual that comes with it even suggests against it. My class 4 works just fine. I didn't think the GPS version was worth it but I've changed my mind since.

Yes - it has motion detection in the sense that it starts recording when motion is detected. It doesn't just continuously record...it only records when it detects motion

yes you can use it as a live feed and set up email notifications for motion detection to your Iphone

I have it set up and love it! I got the app on my iPhone free and I can live stream any time-- and record with no subscription. I like the motion detection notification because in the email it sends you 2 photographs. I hope this helps!

I actually really love this little camera. There are virtually no instructions but if you play with it some, you can get it to do many cool things. Customer Service is difficult. They would always respond, but could not always help me because of the language barrier. The alerts were one of the most difficult things to set up. I had to play with it for quite a while. I was able to get it to email me. If you have a "phone" email address with your phone number, you should be able to use that to send you a text instead of an email, but I have never configured it that way. I did not really have a need for motion detection. Good luck.
