Good to know the "lens-capping" works correctly.
You've found yet another untried possibility with the Mobius, good job 
I would probably have never thought of that!

I'm sorry to report it doesn't work I'm afraid. The battery just can't take it even when it's capped and not recording in motion detect.
Tried a few times now, switched to mode 2 (settings at 720p low data rate, low light, 15sec motion time out,) disconnected external power so it went to motion detect, and popped cap on. After a few hours battery just died so I'm guessing current drain even when not recording is just too great.
So even if Mobius had the option to set motion detect at power off in modes 1 or 2 it would not be usable on battery only, battery will not sustain for long enough.
Now if you could switch to motion detect on the camera, without connecting to a PC, and keep it externally powered, so you could use the capacitor, that would do the job. .... any chance developer? ................... Can you do this with the phone app. I wonder ??
Only thing I can do now is either run constantly in motion detect, which would be a pain because it will only record 60sec max vid clips, I think, and it'll not keep the battery in good order either. Or buy another few G1Wc's (cheaper but still with good HD quality vids) constantly powered motion detect for night time parking security. (far too many cameras and someone would definitely be tempted to nick em, my 2 mobius cams are quite well disguised). OR just give up and fit a security camera on my property! .... Best way really. Pity I was hoping the Mobius cams would help protect my Jeep (and me when wild camping) wherever I parked at night.
