    Isn't that a bit after the fact though? wouldn't the round impact prior to the camera turning on? Even the guys who post youtube videos of hunts and self video turn on their cam before they shoot...
    The videos I’ve seen show clays busting, so it appears to give the desired result

    How does it know when to record?
    The ShotKam uses a gyroscope and accelerometer to know when to record video. In simple terms, the camera detects your barrel movements to know when to begin recording video, then only saves video when there is a recoil. This is a patented memory-buffer system that is unique to ShotKam. Once the action of your gun is closed, the ShotKam will buffer 20 seconds of video. If there is a recoil during that time, then it will save the time before, during, and after the shot. If you move your gun but do not shoot, then the video is deleted and not saved onto the internal memory card. When shooting clay targets, all shots taken within 5 seconds of each other (true and report pairs) will be saved on the same video.

    From the FAQ.
    So if the gun moves it's recording, but only writes to the SD card if it detects a bang associated with the motion
