We have this in our living room and have it set to detect motion at night and when we are gone. We have cats and so you can set it to only detect human motion which is amazing! It sends an alert to my phone and you can turn on the camera if motion is detected. The camera quality is amazing—you can see the entire room in great detail. You can’t move the camera remotely but that hasn’t been an issue so far. You can turn the camera on and off remotely which is great. It really makes me feel more secure at night and I can also see when my kids are home from school each day. Fantastic camera!!
