USB Power Trigger

The camera can use the switching on of USB power to boot the camera, and auto capture upon boot.

End capture after seconds after USB power is off.

Note: A battery is required, as the camera needs close captured video when power is removed. Unfortunately this means your battery will eventually discharge, so it is best to have a spare battery if you intended to used this feature as a dedicated dash-cam.

Enable for newer Cameras: MAX, HERO10, 11, 11Mini, 12 & 13

Once scanned, power off the camera. Now the camera will start with USB power, end capture and shutdown with USB power off. You can temporarily cancel any capture with the shutter button, power on with USB power, full manual camera control is restored.

Enable a faster Labs boot.
Disable the USB trigger.
