Show start of video when motion triggered
motion-settings

When I get a motion alert, the default setting starts the live video, but 99% of the time the event that triggered the alert has moved. Was it something moving left past the camera? Moving right? I dont' know, and I have to wait until the video stops recording and I can review the motion alert from the beginning. Instead, you should have an option where when an alert is responded to on my phone, it takes me to the beginning of the recorded video. Then I can see what caused the alert and if it's worth pursuing. And if it's someone who went to the right, I know to look on that side of the house. Obviously ring the doorebell is a different situation; I'm just talking about alerts.

    Device Settings \> Video Settings \> Tap Camera Preview for Live View you should keep this on as it will show you real time first. If nothing there than it was light from a car or something like that. You still need to wait for record to finish to be able to see what happened as notifications was sent to you at the same time as it's recording, Not after

        Please remove that dark background for the play controls when reviewing ring recordings. It covers most of the footage and doesn't disappear if pressed/clicked.

          The control bar doesn't disappear in a timely fashion. The motion that triggers the camera will still be on screen the first few seconds and then go off screen. The first few seconds of motion-triggered footage is super important.
