Is there a way for me to run sentry mode when the dash camera is disabled? Doesn't seem like it?

Whenever I try to save sentry mode videos when the dashcam is not red(running) it doesn't save anything.

I turn it off by long pressing the camera icon or then unplug and plug without turning it on.

But for whatever reason sentry is not saving videos when the dashcam is off.

I think the dashcam is using too much energy as it runs 24/7 as opposed to only when sentry is on, fills up my recents and I think it adds a bunch of random saves in saved clips. In those random saves I don't see sentry front lights which means sentry did not activate itself.

So is there a way to run only sentry mode without the dash cam ON or is my software bugged and it can?
