Droid Dashcam - Video Recorder

Turns an Android phone into a dashcam

Droid Dashcam - Video Recorder records journeys through a phone’s camera, making it a fit for drivers who want road footage without buying a separate dashcam. It can capture GPS location, speed and timestamps in the video, with vehicle registration details also available as an overlay. That makes the footage easier to interpret later, rather than leaving important context in a separate app or file.

Useful when the phone has other jobs

The app supports background recording, so navigation or music can remain in use while recording continues. A floating control window provides access to recording controls without requiring a full switch back to the app. Automatic start options can be linked to events such as Bluetooth connection, charging or system boot, which suits drivers who do not want to begin every recording manually.

Storage and impact protection

Loop recording helps manage limited phone storage by replacing older footage as space is needed. An impact or G-sensor option can protect recordings associated with a collision from being overwritten. The app stores recorded data on the device rather than relying on server-side synchronisation, a relevant detail for users who prefer local handling of driving footage.
