I'm running the latest copy of HS4 and have been using HS for 4 years now. I'm pretty experienced with things (have written plug-ins, scripts, etc.) but I have never used a camera on HomeSeer or any other system. My wife wants me to add some cameras to monitor outdoors and not knowing anything about them, I figure the HS-CAM-O is probably a safe bet to jump into video camera usage.
I plan to run CAT5 cable to each camera location and I will add a POE switch so that I can power the cameras via POE.
My main question is this: It is my impression that the main benefit of adding outdoor security cameras is that they can be setup to record video when any motion is detected. Does this HS-CAM-O camera provide that motion detection capability so that I can setup events to capture video, or will I need to also use something like the HS-FLS100 motion sensor or some other motion sensor device?
Any other suggestions or advice would be most welcome!
