Gesture control

— the ability to control the device using gestures.

Note that the possibilities of such control in video recorders are very limited: usually, a sensor is used for this, which reacts to the movement of the user's hand in front of the device and is capable of performing only one specific action. Nevertheless, even this possibility provides additional convenience and safety (compared to pressing buttons and, moreover, working with the menu): the movement of the hand takes a fraction of a second, while the driver is practically not distracted from the road. As for the specific functions implemented through gesture control, they may include protecting the recorded video from being overwritten, saving a photo, turning off the sound signal from the radar detector (see "Driving assistants"), etc. In some models, this function is hardcoded in the settings and is not reconfigured, in others it is possible to choose one of several options.
