“Aproximate lag time for motion detection Hi Everyone, Reading the reviews, the motion detection lag seems to vary from 6 seconds down to 2 seconds. What is the lag time that you have personally experienced? Is it closer to 6 seconds or closer to 2 seconds? Thanks”

I have found it to be anywhere from 1 to 6 seconds based on how cold it is outside, in the summer it averages 3-5 seconds. Since these cameras use heat-based motion detection, the colder it is outside the quicker the cameras will pick up a warm body moving in front of it. Now that it's getting colder they trigger in 1 to 2 seconds. But for me even ten seconds would be fine to alert me that someone or something is moving around in front of the camera and then allow me to take action if needed. Hope that helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you set the sensitivity to high the lag time is less. I've not had much of a problem with that. If you focus the camera on an entry point the lag time becomes irrelevant. If it's focused on somewhere where a person walks through the field of vision it may not detect in time. Proximity to the entry point is important too. The closer the camera, the better, but it works well at distance with the sensitivity turned up to max.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.after 2 months of ownership and 5 cameras, 2 seconds.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.6 seconds is closer to what we have encountered
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've ran into upwards of 10 seconds and as fast as no lag. This is dependent on the movement, lighting, and of course your router. I plan updating my old router here shortly, hopefully this makes a difference.
