pretty useless in both products"however this neos camera does not have the ability to define the motion trigger area but instead it reacts to any movement anywhere within its field of view so you constantly get false triggers and loads of video of random people walking by in the street outside and random cars driving by which makes the motion sensing pretty useless"
