They only record when they see movement, so no need to stand still. The spinning is what gets caught on the recording. Then if you can rip it off within ten seconds, all that gets recorded is your spinning.

The 30 seconds is a buffer between entering the space and spinning, so it doesn't catch you running up. Like if it starts recording as you enter the room, how do you know when it started/stopped recording

You can just look at the status light on it that shows whether it’s recording.
