I think a helpful feature would be when motion is detected, Arlo will send me a snapshot once that was detected along with the notification on my phone.  That way I can see immediately who is at my door or something without having to open the app and load up the library.  Is this somethig I can do now or can it be implemented in the future?

The email notification gives you the snapshot used in the library.  However, it only occurs after the video has been uploaded.  Not to big a deal if you use 10 second recordings but much more so if you use 2 minute recordings.  The push notifications are like any other push notifications on your phone - no idea if a snapshot could somehow be attached.  I'd think you'd also have to wait for the video to be uploaded to get that snapshot.

That makes sense, I just wish there was a way that when I got the notification of movement, it included a snapshot so I can decide if I need to go into the app and view the video/live feed or if I can ignore it.
