I hope it has motion detection feature so that it doesn't record unnecessary wasting storage space.

Simple to use, reliable, only problem is it needs to sort the delete function. On my phone, it will only delete oldest files in order, which means you can't skip and save one, if you need to save one, you must save all which follow.

I thought it works fine... I recorded 21 minutes but when I try to play it, it stopped at 4:42 even when I try to play it on my OWN files app, and a video editor to fast forward it. Why would you intentionally destroy the video? This could be of great help but... I guess money always comes first 🤷‍♀️
