Recording using an external power supply
With the Mobius Mini2, it is possible to charge the battery and record at the same time using a
standard external USB 5V DC power supply. The power supply may be mains driven (normal
household wall plug), or run off batteries, including the car charger USB plug (optional
accessory) and cable supplied with the camera.
External USB power supplies usually only use the +5V and the - (Ground) wires. The 2 data
wires are normally not used. However, some USB power supplies designed for a specific USB
device may use different wiring schemes and thus may not work with this camera. To avoid
possible problems, always use a generic power supply.
For recording video or taking pictures using a standard external power supply connection, the
USB power supply can be connected at any time, i.e. before the camera is turned on, before the
recording is started, or after the recording has been started.
►Only use a quality chargers capable of supplying at least 1000mA (1A) and a stable voltage of
5V. Low quality chargers may not be able to supply enough current and can lead to premature
battery failure or, in the worst case, even destroy the camera.

Additional information

The following functions/parameters need additional explanation:

Loop Recording

Loop recording can be enabled or disabled.
By default, Loop Recording is disabled meaning the camera will record clips until the card is full.
The camera will then stop recording and enter standby mode.
If Loop Recording is enabled, the oldest clips will be overwritten when the card is full. As such,
the camera will never stop recording and only the most recent clips will be available on the card.

Motion Detection

Motion Detection only works in video modes. It does not function in Photo Mode.
When Motion Detection is enabled, the Power-Off Standby timeout setting will be ignored. The
camera will, therefore, not turn off unless there is no power left to keep the camera running, the
memory card is full or the camera is manually turned off.
When Motion is detected, the camera will start recording and the selected Motion Timeout
counter will be started. If no further motion is detected by the time the counter runs out the
camera will save the recording and return to standby mode where it will wait for new motion
detection.
If motion is detected while recording the timeout counter will be reset to the selected timeout.
The camera will continue recording until no more motion is detected and the timeout counter
runs out or the 4GB file size limit is reached, or the memory card is full.
When the 4GB file size limit is reached the current recording will be saved and a new one will be
started. There will be a 3 second gap between clips.
