Shutdown Pi/Stop Recording about dashcam

[RT3K]

You can add a Power button to the pi and write a little script to shutdown when pressing the Button.

A power button could work but, in essence, it would be accomplishing the same thing as an unplug.

From the README:

The recordings are initially recording with an .h264 extension and once the designated video length is reached the script convert the video to .mp4. This works pretty well but if the Pi is turned off mid-recording, then the latest file will still have that .h264 extension, so take note of that.

If you are using a USB drive, as the project outlines, then simply unplugging the USB drive from the Pi will have the video files there - the only exception being they may be in a .h264 format. This isn't a big deal, since you could use FFmpeg, VLC, or some other converter to get it into a .mp4 format for convenience.

Oh, I misread @RT3K's comment. Yes a script would be a smart way of doing this.
