The "gunshot" detection aka always on mics and Bluetooth tracking still work until the battery dies but yeah that's a cheap and easy solution.

    Quite true, but it's not really possible to disable that without destroying the camera. And that's quite illegal so you definitely wouldn't ever want to do that. Especially since when you drive up the camera can record the BLE data from your tire pressure sensors and use that to identify you.
