Title: Detecting motion
Post by: john on April 19, 2005, 12:33:51 AM
How does the motion detection work (or not
work)?  For example, I setup a camera to
send me an email when it detects motion.
Well it sends tons and tons of email, but
no motion is ever detected. At least I do
not see anything in the pics. Then I go
outside and walk around, come back inside,
and it did not detect my presence. I have
set the motion sensitivity to max but the
same thing happens. I received a 100 emails
one day and all the picture looked the same.

Ideas?

what camera? where is it located? how far
from the ground and what direction is it
pointed. beisdes email, can you check it on
a video monitor to see if the problem is
email or the motion sensor of the camera?
