A DashCam Recorder App to continuously record video (non-stop recording).
The video contains an embedded track with date & time, GPS coordinates, speed, altitude and accelerometer data.
What's different to other DashCam Recorder Apps?
● Embeds GPS location metadata in the video for simultaneous playback on a map
● Has a free macOS companion App to play and browse dash cam videos ► DashCam-Player
● Truly free iOS app, no ads, no in-app purchase, no signup, no 'pro' version
You're not supposed to use your iPhone while driving, so why not use it as a DashCam?
Or even better, give your old iPhone a 2nd life by using it as a DashCam !
► Advantages over other DashCam Apps

● Continuous recording in adjustable fixed minute video intervals
● Embeds data as ISO6709 or "DashCam-Player" (macOS App) format
● Embeds date, time, GPS coordinates, speed, altitude and accelerometer data
● Saves videos directly to Photos (possibility for iCloud sync)
● Optionally saves videos within the App as an infinite loop

► Suggestions
● Switch your device to "flight-mode" for uninterrupted recording and safe driving

► NOTE
To visualise the embedded GPS data on a map you need an App which supports the ISO6709 format or the macOS App "DashCam Player". When you use DashCam-Player you can visualise the GPS route with date, time, speed, altitude and accelerometer data. If you need an App that supports earlier iOS versions (from 9.0) please look for "Movies And Maps Recorder".
Keep your eyes on the road, enjoy!

What's New in DashCam Recorder
2.0
November 6, 2024
- Record from back or front camera
- Fixed bugs in infinite loop recording
- Keep sending your feedback & requests !!
Very good free app my friend. 2 suggestions I'd like to make.
#1 Give us an optio to lock the exposure. This is very useful when recording from the inaide of the car but the camera exposes for the interior of the car maybe because of the lights, making the outside scene super dark.
#2 It would be great if we can have both the front and back camera recording simultaneously. And let us choose the format. Wether it's be recorded sperately, or together side by side or picture in picture etc.
Bonus: If you ever decide on adding a premium paid feature to your app, you can add the functionality of allowing a different smartphone or tablet to be added as a multi cam.
Goodluck and best wishes to you. I hope you can keep the app free for us poor people lol

Response from developer
Many thanks for the kind feedback!
If you tap on the screen it should focus and lock focus on that area, will check if improvements can be made. On the multicam recording, will look into it for the next version!
The App stays free, just spread the word :)
