Is there a way to activate a "pre-roll"? The recordings often capture only the end of the action.

Most of my recording capture only the last half or less of the action. I have another brand that has a "pre-roll" so it actually starts recording 10 seconds before the action starts so you get everything. Does Arlo have such a feature or am I to be content with half? I'm hoping its buried in the settings somewhere.

Hi.. Essential series of wire-free cameras do not have a pre-roll feature. However, we do have other cameras in our extensive portfolio that support Arlo Foresight, a feature which let's you capture additional few seconds prior to the motion activation, when setup in a wired configuration.
