If he gets so many emails that his gmail is overflowing, does he really look at all of them in the first place.

While motion detection does not work well outside, unless you're using the crappiest NVR, things like leafs and shadows should not trigger motion alerts.

Now, leaves blowing into the camera CCD, blocking FOV, or sand/snow blowing at night making infrared light up like a blizzard, that's a different story.

I tried to use my front door camera's motion detection to trigger lights (at night) and music at portico. After that failure, I've installed outdoor rated PIR (3-4 years ago), and except for very hot days, where body temperature is below ambient one, I have not had any issues or false alarms.

+1 Outdoor motion is the way to go.

Im confused on why Dakota wouldnt work. Doesnt matter the layout of his land, shop or butthole. Put the sensor where you want and the NVR can be trigger by the signal WIRELESSY from several miles away if need be. Whats the issue again?

The issue is where the cameras are located. The Dakota alert would send the trigger but the cameras would be taking a picture of nothing. Unless there is a way to delay the camera a few seconds from the time the recorder gets the signal from the sensor (which I have not seen) then this isn't a solution.

555 timer

Or:

Delay Timer Module
ELK-960
The ELK-960 Delay Timer is designed to be an economical and flexible solution for any general-purpose timer application. The unit can be configured for use on 12 to 24V systems, with positive or negative trigger logic. Positive triggers can be as low as 4.5V. Setup is quick and easy with thumbwheel adjustment between 1 and 60 seconds. A quick jumper setting converts the time from seconds to minutes. The Timer can be configured to activate once for each trigger, or free-run as soon as power is applied. Relay can be configured to be normally on or normally off.
