once motion is detected , is there a lag before it starts recording the video? Hypothetically speaking could someone run up to your porch steal a package and be gone before the video starts recording even though the motion was captured? null

Yes, there is lag, I have several all around so what the one misses the other catches, but they are slow.

It could happen. I have checked ours for accuracy by monitoring how it responds to when a car pulls in the driveway or when I have come into
the house. It does have a delay and sometimes it just doesn't record the motion. I'm not sure if this is the camera, the color of clothing that one
is wearing or what the issue is. I have learned not to depend on it for anything very important but just as a comfort that at times our home is protected.
If you have a chance I would monitor what yours is doing with some practice tries of your own so that you can better understand how it handles the movement,
placement and how it is recording. We have had better luck since we have done some monitoring to see where it is best placed for the most accurate recording of
movement.
