How does motion detection work?
Our mobile phone App allows for authorised WiFi spy camera users (remote access can be
shared) to select motion detection recording on or off. If this feature is armed, each time the
camera detects motion, it will record real time audio and video to the concealed micro memory
card from 5-60 seconds non-stop. This is commonly referred to as Alert or Alarm recording. It
also allows the user to search recordings by calendar time and date or by Alert.
If motion continues beyond 60 seconds, the WiFi smoke detector hidden camera will continue
to record in 30 to 60 second increments until motion ceases. For this reason, there's probably
no need to set constant recording. Provided the dummy spy camera is continually detecting
motion, other than short pauses between recording files, it will continuously record anyway.
Furthermore, with phone push notifications on and with the camera in WiFi mode, user/s can
elect to receive mobile phone motion triggered text or push alerts. By tapping on the App alert,
playback recordings without the need to search. The internal calendar allows authorised users
to search motion time and date recordings by day, week & month. The App also support multi
camera access and live listen in.
If constant recording is enabled or preferred over motion detection, the device will constantly
record when App armed and stop recording when disarmed. It can also be scheduled to start
and stop recording and pre-defined times. A constant recording is a much larger data file
compared to motion recording so remotely downloading a large file can be difficult. To view
constant recording files, best to switch the camera off, remove the SD card and connect it into
PC USB using an SD card reader.

plate allows the camera to be fixed to a ceiling or wall. Some customers use double sided tape
to avoid drilling ceiling holes and quickly move the camera from one location to another.
