I purchased 2 of these cameras and the Insteon hub 2 years ago and was able to use it remotely watch live feed of my home. I remember wanting to to set up an alert, preferably with an image, if it had sensed motion. I can't for the life of remember why I couldn't but I vaguely remember that I either needed a DVR or a motion sensor. I now have a landlord who believes they have the right to enter my home without notice whenever they please and would like to set something up that would notify me in the event that they do.
In doing some research, the specs seem to indicate that the camera is capable of sensing motion but the Amazon reviews contridict each other on whether this is the case or an alert with or without an image can be sent. Can someone confirm if my current system is capable? Can it also be used to snap a pic and/or send an alert if I purchased and set up a scene with the Insteon open/close door device?
As for storing captured content, could I use a PC as a DVR? This camera doesn't appear to have an SD card slot based on the specs (I haven't dug it out of storage yet to visually confirm). What other options do I have here?
Any info would be greatly appreciated!
