Motion detectors proposal

Idea suggestion.

Could you release a motion detector only?

If they could be small, battery operated, and outdoor ready. That would help with delay in recording on cameras as it would help trigger recording much sooner than the camera could detect on its own.

For example, on my long driveway, I could place the motion detector on the beginning of the driveway to trigger recording of the camera on the end of the driveway. This way, I catch the subject as they are walking up the driveway. Otherwise, this camera currently serves the purpose of motion detection to trigger recording on back door.

This would make the Arlo system awesome.

(We've) been there, done that.

There are numerous identical suggestions to yours in the Arlo Idea Exchange, for instance:

• Motion detectors separate from camera,
• Motion Detection,
• Decouple motion sensor from camera,
• Sell "tripwire" motion detectors,
• Neeeded: External Sensors w/o Cameras.
