# Recording Data

The GIZO SDK can automatically detect trips and start recording them if `autoStart` has been enabled in the GIZO SDK options described in the [Intiallization](/usage/react-native/initialization.md) section. However, if you intend to allow the user to manually record a trip, the method below can be used to achieve this:

```jsx
import * as GizoSdk from "@gizo-sdk/core";
```

```jsx
GizoSdk.startRecording({
  mode: "NoCamera",
  stopRecordingSetting: {
    stopRecordingOnLowBatteryLevel: 10,
  },
});
```

#### Method Parameters

**mode:** a string indicating the sensors used to for recording the trip.

**stopRecordingSetting:** this parameter contains a set of conditions for forcefully stopping the recording of a trip:

**stopRecordingOnLowBatteryLevel:** a number indicating the battery level (in percentage) below which the recording of the trip must be terminated. For more information, see the [Power Saving Process Overview](/appendix/power-saving-process-overview.md) page.

GIZO SDK can automatically determine the end of a trip and terminate the recording if `autoStop` has been enabled in the GIZO SDK options described in the [Intiallization](/usage/react-native/initialization.md) section. However, if you want to allow the user stop a trip manually or alternatively programmatically under certain conditions, the following method can be used:

```jsx
GizoSdk.stopRecording();
```
