Capture frame prior to motion capture on short captures where subject exits frame

[Nonia]

Hi All,

I've been doing some testing with Arlo Pro 3 motion capture and I see the capture is triggered when the motion is almost entirely out of the frame on very short captures.

I am wondering if it is possible to place a 20-30 second video capture RAM in the camera which is always being recorded to.  This would have to be a very low power component and it would have to be ongoingly checked to confirm it is functional and recording properly.

The idea is when motion triggers a capture there is already a 20-30 second capture in the memory which is automatically pinned to the motion trigger sequence and saved as a single video.

This would make it possible to capture very short motion sequences before the moving component is completely out of the frame.   Ideally you would then choose how much of the pre-footage you would want to attach to the saved video - maybe in 5 second increments?  Say choosing 5 seconds, 10 second, 15 seconds, 20 seconds depending on how much context you want to the motion.  There is probably an optimum which could be determined for very short motion captures.
