Pre-Roll and Advanced Pre-Roll

Pre-Roll and Advanced Pre-Roll enable you to view more complete motion events. A Ring device with Pre-Roll or Advanced Pre-Roll will capture the few seconds before a motion event is triggered and attach it to the event clip. This provides you with a better look at what's happening outside your door.
