Why isn't there an option to record when sound is detected on the Essential camera, like there is on other Arlo cameras with sound?

Hi

Essential Spotlight Camera only supports motion detection. It does however have a speaker, so you can have a 2 way conversation or activate a loud 80dB siren via the Arlo App (or upon motion detection if you optionally enabled a custom rule during a desired time frame).
