Does each camera have separate motion detection?

Yes. the way it works is when you look at the monitor it has a split screen of all of the cameras, a small running man appears in the top corner indicating motion for that one camera. you can also set it so it only records during motion which saves space.

Yes they do. They each respond separately to whatever stimuli is in front -- sometimes even if a fly or spider is in front of the lens. A little green icon that looks like a person pops up whenever motion is detected. You can set cameras to ONLY record during those times to save space on the hard drive.

Motion detection works by comparing the current frame to the previous frame. In other words, it is an image subtraction. If enough pixels show a big enough change in RGB values, the camera's algorithm considers it be motion. The camera's built in algorithm is OK but rather simplistic. Software such as Blue Iris for PCs and Evocam for Macs have more sophisticated motion detection algorithms.

Hi, DL. If you have multiple cameras, you can either select each one individually or have it automatically cycle between them. While cycling, it will show each camera for about 10 seconds at a time.

yes, I'm currently setup for it to do that, completely without pc. it can set schedule and sensitivity for motion detection and email them it also have a web interface which is 200% better than the app it come with in the cd. however its motion detection is software based, so it'll misfire frequently when there's change in lighting, or camera pan, etc

Yes it should come with a motion sensor setting. You can select and program each camera in the settings menu.

I don't know. I bought this camera as a birthday gift, and I can't even check now if it has this feature. The manual does not mention it.

Yes, the motion detection (setup thru blue iris) works very well with this camera.

No they don't show both at one time, but they rotate about every 5 seconds from camers 1 to camera 2. And it will keep goung to both cameras as long as they are both synced up. I also believe it will tell you on screen which camera it is but I'm not positive for sure, my kids are a little older now and we hardly use the second camera but they also share a room now and they didn't before.

Yes. If it is in the range of the camera, it will set off the motion detection.

No not there is no motion detection it just constant recording. However the video and audio qualities are great for the price.

It does send an alert when there is motion but doesn't automatically start recording...unless I have NO CLUE. I have to manually go online to hit record. I would like these cameras a lot better if they recorded all the time...otherwise they are great!

yes it records in motion detection. It only stores it in the card and the recording time is limited.

Yes when set up you give each camera a name, but you can only look at 1 camera at a time takes about 3 seconds to switch betweencameras

No, I have not seen where there is a setting for this feature. The screen will light up and show all cameras if motion is detected. That is beneficial if you have the monitor near you.

No, but you can put the parent unit on scan and it will go back and forth between camera A and Camera B. Works pretty well. I like this system much better than our first video monitor except that the parent unit screen is some what small. We are very happy with our purchase.

Yes depending on the software You use most software has both detections will work I'm using a video adapter for my laptop. capture software is Contacam. The cameras for the price

You can choose either option. I am currently doing all video, time lapse, all channels. I just have it e-mail me when it detects motion (some channels I have motion detection scheduled only for certain times and certain areas). It's pretty versatile.
