Does this not take a shapshot whenever motion is detected?

Does this not take a shapshot whenever motion is detected? By the time I get a video to start playing 10 people could have kicked the door down. Is there a setting that can accomplish this? Thanks

Only for email notifications or when viewing the library. Of course, the email is only sent when the video is uploaded while push notifications are immediate.

How do I turn this on? There's no way currently for me to see who is at the door without a huge delay. Thanks

Email notifications are enabled by default in your Armed mode. You would have had to edit that mode in the first place or have created your own custom mode to not have email notifications. Use the Mode tab and edit your modes to see what's up.

Note that if you use a 2 minute recording you'll only get the email once the video has uploaded. Use of shorter recordings would be useful for this sort of need.
