Main screen

On the main screen of the application, the Video and Photo buttons allow you to start and stop the sequence of recording videos and capturing photos, while the Files button takes you to file management. The GPS signal status, and automatic uploads situation are also displayed in the corners.

It is worth noting that while the main screen is visible, the display will not turn off. If you turn it off manually, the video/photo capturing will not stop, but you may encounter camera-related issues upon returning to the main screen. If you want to use the application with the display screen turned off, you'd need to first place Voyager in background mode (e.g. by pressing your phone's Home button).

Between 2 presses of the Video button (to start/stop), not just one video file is produced. Instead, a whole set of video files is recorded and saved in that session. If you specify the length of video sequences to 1 minute (in the Settings), then during an hour the application saves roughly 60 video files.

These files usually contain ordinary road events, so the files are marked as temporary, and will be deleted during the automatic cleanup. Only when the accelerometer detects a possible crash, or when you touch the screen to retain a video, you indicate that something interesting happened, and the latest recorded video sequence is stored into the safe zone.

The Photo button works much in the same way, except the photo files are not automatically deleted. You set up a snapshot frequency in the Settings, and once you start the capturing sequence, photos are continuously being captured and saved on the SD card.

The Video and Photo functionalities use the same camera exclusively. It takes a few seconds to focus and capture a photo, during which time video recording is paused.

During automatic capturing, video recording has priority over photos. But, you can force an immediate photo capture if you press the Photo button to begin or end a session. It is assumed you saw something worth capturing in a photo, so the currently recording video file is saved, the photo captured, and then video recording resumed in a new file.
