IceyU 0 Posted April 17, 2013 I want to get an IP camera that has user-programmable motion detection areas, preferably with memory card slot and between $100-500. I'd like to point it out the window and only have e-mail image alerts when motion is detected near the bottom of the frame where the front gate is, I don't want it to go off every time a car passes by at the top of the frame. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any suggestions? Lots of cameras allow for motion detection trigger areas to be set by the user. Be aware that you will likely get a LOT of false alerts, especially at night as things like the headlamps of cars driving by will often set motion detection off. Having said that, on decent model cameras there is a lot of tuning you can do such as the sensitivity, etc. BTW, putting a camera indoors and pointing it out a window is one of the worst ways to set it up. Bite the bullet, run the CAT5 cable to the outdoors, seal it properly and put a real outdoor camera there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
