Hi I'm very pleased with my cameras except there's too much delay in capturing motion....
For example... I exit front door, turn and lock door then leave via 2 steps and about 4 more feet that is seen on camera. Yet none if this is captured. Please suggest issue/resolution. Thanks much

unforunately this is part of the tradeoff you make for the advantage of battery operated.  I also have a competing cam, same thing.

 

A trick I use which might work for you too.

I have a cam A set pointing to earlier in the motion I really want to capture, Cam B

and set a rule, when cam A detects motion to start recording cam A and cam B

gets posted regularly.   read threads and you'll learn a lot.

On page 3 of the FAQ you'll see a video about modes.

Modify the armed rule, or better yet create your own mode and use it.

say cam A is the cam on your walkway and cam B watches your door.

create rule that when cam A detects motion start recording cam A

when cam B dtects motion start recording cam B

when cam A detects motion start recording cam B
