Well, seems my Dashcam ask, was quite limiting -- but seems I've figured it out.
The app is finicky, but I was able to adjust when it records (parking), and the sensitivity to movement.


Anyhoo, random car thought:
I believe starting in the MK6 generation, VW introduced the Soundaktor. Basically, they found a way to amplify the exhaust note into the cabin of the car. Lots of purists hated it, calling it artificial etc; On my Mk6 R (2013), it was removed and swapped with a performance exhaust. Louder, more aggressive etc;

Then on my Mk7 (2017), I left the car stock except for rims, and same goes with my Mk7.5 (2019). And ya know what, I'm totally cool with the Soundaktor now. I feel exhausts and their noise, are really only for the driver/owner of the vehicle. It's almost narcissistic to apply one's own loud sounding exhaust note, and forcibly (obnoxiously) apply it to the masses (those nearby), to "enjoy" also.

Where'as, the Soundaktor only amplifies inside the cabin, for myself - the driver.

Perhaps this is coming along with age, as well as living in Mission, but almost ALL loud exhausts are gross sounding, and annoying.

tldr
Exhausts; Used to be all about them. Now, I think you're a d!ck for forcing it upon others.
