start video record on view load in ios

Question

I've looked through the Apple documentation but have seen no mention of how to do this, nevermind if it's even possible or not. I'd like to make it so that an iPhone/iPad begins video recording automatically when a certain view is loaded, and stops and saves when the view is dismissed. Is there any way that I can do this or am I just going to have to use the normal UI for video recording?

Use AVCaptureSession
