I like the feature on the Floodlight Cam and the Video Doorbell Pro where you get about 10 seconds of video before a event. Does the spotlight cam or stickup cams have that feature as well? I can not find it in the specifications. Thanks

The non-battery cams do that, use every chance you get, then battery if you have to. battery, or plugged in battery, still suffers a 3+sec delay to record *after* the event

It was explained to me by a Ring representative that the wired Ring devices are continually sampling video for motion in 5 second snippets. If motion is detected, the snippet is saved and recording starts. Battery devices do not. They use a different motion detection system and start recording when motion is detected.

The latest Stickup cams Plugin/Solar and of corse the battery cameras all can use a battery and unfortunately do not pre-record and also have the more limited “Adjustable Motion Detection”
