DashCam: Mobile Drive Recorder1.9 - App Store

Your iPhone can do more than navigate. It can help protect every drive.

Battery & GPS Usage

DashCam Drive Recorder may use your iPhone camera, GPS, and motion sensors while recording to capture video, speed, location, and driving context. Continuous camera and GPS usage can use more battery than normal apps.
For longer drives, keep your iPhone connected to a charger and use a stable windshield or dashboard mount for the best recording experience.
Designed for Simple, Safe Use

The app is built with a clean interface so you can start recording quickly and focus on driving. Controls are large, simple, and easy to understand.
