These events are triggered using either the camera’s accelerometer or audio detection capability.

- Broken Glass (Loud sound of a particular frequency)
- Potential Impact
- Movement
- Voice-Activated Custom Videos (Sound)
These are generated by saying “OK Presto”. Once “OK Presto” is said, the camera will pull footage from 10 seconds before the command and 10 seconds after to create a custom video clip. You can also say another phrase after OK Presto is initiated to name the video. The name of the video can be changed in the portal as well.
