So what, exactly, is the legitimate purpose of having it sound-activated?
Wouldn't that make it useful for setting up in a room as a security monitor ? You wouldn't want it running constantly, and if the noise of someone opening a door is enough to activate it, it seems you would just be recording when there was actual activity. Otherwise, you get an hour-or-so long still shot before using up the microSD.
Great way to find out who's snooping around your gun safe or personal pc while you're at work.
