Arlo Doorbell now has ESP

[ArloWatcher]

Well it seems starting yesterday 1/28 my Video Doorbell has gotten ESP because now it starts recording before any movement is seen. This is a great feature because before it would always start recording too late after it should have

Has anyone else noticed this change?

Can you confirm that something changed yesterday that this now happens?

Didja check the Firmware Release Notes section here to note that a new feature was added to allow this?

Is this a configurable setting?  If so where do I find it?

It's not configurable.  It's always enabled in the video doorbell, and is automatically enabled in cameras that support it when they are connected to AC power (not the solar panel).

It had disappeared again due to the rollback of the firmware.
When will there be a new firmware available so the foresight function will be added again?

[JamesC]

Firmware support Arlo Foresight for the Arlo Video Doorbell should be available again soon. I will provide an update when we have more information.
