The DRIFT Ghost XL camera may not turn off after programming if it is connected to an external power source, such as a car or motorcycle. In Dash Cam Mode, the camera automatically powers on when it detects power and stays on as long as the power supply is active. It turns off only when the power is cut off. If the camera remains on, check if it is still receiving power from an external source.
