Hopefully a quick question, but is the overall responsiveness of the Arlo Pro 2 Camera/Ecosystem better when camera is wired? Currently it takes an Arlo Pro 2 roughtly 9 seconds for the camera to send an alert on motion then another 4-10 seconds to get the video rolling to interact, for example, with someone at the door. Microphone interaction has a huge lag of 4ish seconds. 

 

Is the lag better with a wired camera? If so, how much? Thanks!

 

I really want to love the system, but dont love the lag. Thanks in advance!!

The lag doesn't seem to change. The length of lag is somewhat dependent on your internet connection as the video has to go from the camera to the base to the arlo servers back down the internet to your device.
Full time AC power does, however, give you the 3 second Lookback (pre-recording) feature and also activity zones
