•Every minute we split the video and also store when anything interesting happened (from the record button) a little while later we discard minute long files when nothing interesting happened (possibly keeping 5 minutes before and a few after each button press).

in my opinion I think we should make it so it stays recording until we tell it to stop because if anything interesting is happening after 5mins (or however long) it will not be recorded

Had to switch to a ring buffer. Now we are constantly taking video but not always saving it when the button is pressed the last 15 seconds gets saved and video is streamed to file.
