Mobius with PIR Sensor

[Jean-Philippe Encausse]

Hi,

Following a previous question,
https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/mobius-very-long-standby-mode.11606/#post-149987

is there a hack to add an external PIR detector to a Mobius ?

Some camera like this one claim to keep < 3mA in StandBy mode

The idea is to quick power on Mobius on PIR motion this will save battery. But it may be a bad idea ?

plenty of outdoor pir devices on ebay that use a battery for power and could be used to switch your Mobius on...

Its not rocket science !

Off course and it will be a crapy result.

I was thinking of a small PIR like this one

Bind to the Mobius PCB to quickly trigger start/stop
