Doorbell camera takes a long time to start recording

Hello,

I am observing a really long delay between the time motion occurs until the camera begins recording.  I recently had a grocery delivery and the person twice dropped off bags on the porch, they then rang the doorbell and stepped back to take a photo of the items.  My recording only shows them as they were leaving.  I did set the sensitivity to high.  I also performed another test by jogging up to my porch, picking up a package and jogging off. None of this was detected by the camera.  Have other users experienced this?

Thanks,
Matt

Same problem here. Is there some sort of update we need to push or is WiFi signal a consideration? We have stucco so have a signal but not always super strong — and for past 2-3 months has beware ok but now noticing a serious lag before it starts recording, the person is usually totally gone/back on the sidewalk when it starts now.

@ambrecaye​ troubleshooting the WiFi connection is a great idea. You can use the Connection Check tool in the Camera Settings to test the connection for the Video Doorbell in that position.
