I understand the notification delay after the clip is recorded, but not the delay for the bulb. If you want the bulb to trigger on motion, there is a reason you were doing that. It should come on as soon as it does when using a motion sensor or door sensor, or at least as quickly as possible, for a couple of reasons. 1, as a deterrent to a possible intruder, and 2, to give extra bulb (at night of course) to the area so the recording could possibly be better then what you would get with the IR LEDs by themselves. if you have to wait till after the 12 second clip is recorded for the bulb to come on, it kind of defeats the whole purpose of catching somebody in the act I’m doing something wrong and having the best chance of seeing or scaring them away sooner.
