You will get some delay depending on the upload speed of your internet.
If the cameras are powered from mains supply then the camera will remain running in the background and you will get the previous 3sec in your recording before the detection had triggered.
If you use live view the delay gets compounded by the additional download speed and delays playing it back on your phone.
Up to 2s delay is not unusual for the setup I’m using when live viewing at 40mbs down and 20mbs up and using 5G wifi for the iPhone.
