Confused with proximity sensor

[Ralph2]

Can someone explain the function(s) of the proximity center. Off/on make sense but what are the differences between manual and voice recording. I would like.. the recording is normally off but, toggles of and on by touching the proximity switch.

Manual recording is when you want to save the current video as an "event" with a type of "manual". The audio on/off is to toggle the audio recording on or off.

Thanks, so will set it to voice recording.. but then ? Does it turn on by default when the Blackvue powers up, or is it off until turned on/off with the proximity probe. Unclear to me.

The default audio recording mode is defined in the camera firmware settings. When the proximity sensor is configured to turn on/off the audio recording of the front camera, it acts like a simple on/off toggle switch but with the default of on/off being taken from the firmware settings at power up of the dashcam.
