Papago! GoSafe 110 Motion detection samples (Parked tractor trailer)


I've been leaving the cam on in the truck overnight, while parked and in 'motion detector' mode.
The Papgo! GS110 easily triggers when another truck moves within the field of vision and by pedestrians.
The GS 110 appears to continue recording for about one minute after it is triggered by motion, meaning there is a moving object in the frame for ten seconds, the resulting file is around 1:10 minutes long.

Motion dection mode on a dashcam may be a solution for long term, unattended parking coverage. Most truckers do leave the truck parked, and unattended for a day or more. Vandalism, break ins, or damage from other vehicles is not unheard of. A cam file from a dashcam in this mode may give some clues to who was responsible, as long as they moved within the field of view of the camera.

Mobius Wide Angle Motion detection mode





I thought I'd play with the 'Motion Detection' mode on one of my spare Mobius, wide angle cams.



You have to configure this via the software program, and the sensitivity and video clip length are variable.



It works 'OK', but doesn't seem to pick up foot traffic.   These are just 3 clips of many.   The cam will continue to record as long as it has power, and will overwrite the oldest clip when full. This mode may be of some use if you park your truck in a remote area, unattended for a days. While it won't detect somebody moving around the truck on foot, it will pick up vehicles. In this use, the limits are card size, and power. Power should not be a problem in a big truck for a few days. You would probably fill the card up, and loop over the older files if you park for a few days in a busy area, like a truck stop.
