Floodlight Cam Notification preview is from before the event

Archonite

I'm having issues with the Nest Cam Floodlight and it's event notification previews / snapshots.

The preview that comes in on the notification and in the app as a snapshot, are all from right BEFORE the event. E.G. if a car is detected, it'll send me a picture of the place as it was before the car passed... completely defeating the point of the snapshot.

 

I have multiple other nest cams without this issue (2 doorbells & another gen 1 outdoor).

 

Is there a way to add a delay to the snapshot? Why is it behaving this way specifically for this cam?

Sometimes this happens with our older cameras and doorbells.
