    Hold up, so I can just stand still in a room for >30 seconds to sync the timing, then spin in a circle for 32 seconds, then sprint right up to the camera and rip it off the wall?

      They only record when they see movement, so no need to stand still. The spinning is what gets caught on the recording. Then if you can rip it off within ten seconds, all that gets recorded is your spinning.

        You’d have to determine when the camera turns on in order to determine when it shuts off. If it’s 30 on 10 off, you stay still for >40 seconds to ensure the camera is idle and ready to record, and then you spin, you can ensure camera turns on at your spinning, and then you know it’ll shut off on your 30 seconds, and you’re totally synced to the 40s cycle

        The 30 seconds is a buffer between entering the space and spinning, so it doesn’t catch you running up. Like if it starts recording as you enter the room, how do you know when it started/stopped recording
