Question about Creative Labs CardCam PD-1070 Digital Camera

Security Camera with Green Light?

So I bought the notebook webcam for the main purpose of motion detection. Maybe I am not seeing it but it is hard to conceal that I am doing that with the bright green light always on. Is there any way to disable?

No real way to disable this light, however you may be able to just cover it with a small piece of cardboard paper or something similar. Often a low tech solution will work as well as a high tech one.

Hi there, my Motorola Hubble is pointing out of my window to my car and front door but it’s not sending me notifications of movement ie when postman put mail in letterbox ?

Change Cameras' Placement or Pointing Angle Security cameras with built-in PIR motion sensor, such as Arlo cameras could see cameras do detect motion but fail to record or capture movement. Or cameras can't detect or record motions through glass or window glass panel.
In such cases, avoid placing motion detection security cameras behind the glass window especially cameras with a PIR motion sensor; do place wireless motion sensor security cameras closer to a WiFi router or hotspot.
The object from afar is relatively easier to be miss out, so don't expect security cameras to pick up every movement within its field of view. Focusing on strategic areas for motion detection helps achieve maximal peace of mind as well as reducing unwanted false alarms.

How to Turn Your Webcam Into Streaming Motion Detecting Surveillance System

Yes is the answer to your first question. Maybe, it the answer to the second question. Motion sensors can affect schedulers. For instance, some schedules turn the lights off five minutes after they came on due to a detection. And that is irregardless of whether the scheduler is due to keep the lights on during a scheduled time. And they do it after five minutes every time. That is simply an example from real life. But only you know how your particular setup is acting. I'm only confirming that they well may interact. As to how you "find the sweet spot" of getting them to act in concert just the way you want, only the manufacturers or experienced security professionals would know, probably from some grid matching particular scheduling software with particular motion detectors. (Yes, I made that up, the software manufacturer probably well knows what works with what because they tested it on something!)
