If your phone's android there are apps that control other apps based on triggers. I had near field tags on my car phone holder and at work. Placing the phone in the car holder or work cradle triggered a mode specific to that location. Other apps trigger on location so you could have it start recording when you left home, and finish when you arrived at work. Back then I used "Trigger" - I've been IOS for years.
On android or IOS, you might be able to
use IFTTT to do something similar.
