The low cost wired Ring doorbell (aka 'Graham Cracker') cannot take snapshots whilst recording which leads to a ~15sec delay in the HomeKit notifications. This patch bypasses the snapshot load for these devices only. See issue #933.

@dgreif What do you think? My gut says that, while this works, I'm not sure if this is the ideal place to fix this, for one camera model, OK, but my guess is there will be more.

I feel like a better approach is to impement some type of capability flag (not sure of the name, maybe hasSnapDuringRecord) in ring-client-api that can be checked here. This would cover any operatingOnBattery() mode and any camera models that don't have this capability could be explicitly added to the list, assuming we can't find a better way to identify them.

I do have a suspicion that any camera that can't do this will have a "run_mode" of "low_power", but I don't have access to enough models to prove that. Some cameras, mostly stickup cams I believe, but maybe spotlight cams too, support different run modes based on if their power source is battery, solar, or plug and based on settings in the app.

@townsen Any chance you could provide a data discovery of this camera to see what run mode it reports?

@tsightler I agree that a capability flag would be more elegant and generic, but I'm not sure how to check that. I've looked at the Data Discovery (I did one way back in #933, and repeated it today - see below) and I see nothing obvious, but I'm no expert. So although this is hardcode perhaps it's the only way. I do see an argument to move it further back into the ring-client-api as you suggest. Let's see what @dgreif thinks. I did this now as I'm off on vacation (which is what pushed me to make this fix!) so won't be able to refactor the PR until September.
