I had a DLink 942L that was excellent and ticked all those boxes.

I have one of these (actually the non HD version of it).

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Y-cam-HomeMonitor-HD-Monitoring-Recording/dp/B00H8OE9V2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425216130&sr=8-1&keywords=home+monitor

Ticks all your boxes - works really well.

Whats the most cost effective way of getting something like the 2 cams listed to auto trigger and send a video file off site if activated?

EDIT: looks like the Amazon one does - any more experience?

@iamsporticus - that exactly what the Home Monitor one does (Amazon link above). You can set it up to send notifications straight to your phone via the app and/or email when motion is detected. Has a night mode too so works ok in the dark.

I have a Y-cam, but an outdoor one, works well with the [url= https://www.cammy.com/ ]Cammy app[/url], I did have a Foscam that was set up to send email alerts on movement (sensitivity adjustable) but it gets very boring having a 1000+ emails a day when it rains.
HTH.

The D Link records to itself and sends snaps via email if required.

I used to have it recording to my NAS.

I got some from [url= http://m.lightinthebox.com/index.php?main_page=mobile_advanced_search_result&inc_subcat=1&search_in_description=0&q=wanscam+ip+camera&currency=GBP ]HERE[/url] which you can monitor from your iPhone/iPad/anything with Internet access.

Also you can connect externally using the IP address or dynamic IP if yours isn't static.
