Request for additional doorbell functionality

[Pixelight]

I have a wire free doorbell. It happens very regularly that I can't access the video stream when someone rings the doorbell. Especially if I'm on 4G (not at home).

Instead of sending the full video stream when someone rings the doorbell, it would be great if Arlo could take a picture of the person to get faster notifications with an instant visual (picture).

This way, you can get a quick overview of who's ringing the doorbell, and if you want, you can click on a button to display the live video.

For me, this would be a great feature for the end of 2023 ✌️

I think you can do it by setting up rules/automations.

You can't trigger on someone pressing the doorbell, so I think you are incorrect on this.

It would be very nice if you could trigger on it (either taking a snapshot or recording a video).
