These have the camera sit in a stand by mode, triggering to record when it detects motion or the accelerometer detects movement.
Handy if somebody is eyeing up something in your car...or in my case the Tesco home delivery truck taking my passenger mirror off for the second time.
Id be extremely wary about one of these unless it has its own power supply. This would murder your battery quick smart unless the car is being driven quite regularly and has a decent battery in it.
