My other outdoor battery cameras I use have the option to set a determined length of recording and turn OFF , End clip early if motion stops, some of them I have set to 25 or 30 seconds This means that the camera will record the entire set amount of time every time motion is detected.
Most of the time the WCO’s stop recording before the motion even stops.
They should have set this up this way from the start , but it could be added very easily
