## What is DashCam Recorder PiP?

Keep your eyes on the road while DashCam Recorder PiP turns your iPhone into a private, high-quality dashcam.
Continuously record video with GPS, speed, altitude, accelerometer and date/time metadata.
Replay your drives on a map with the free iOS & macOS DashCam-Player apps.
Truly free – no ads, no subscriptions, no signups, no "pro" version.

What's different to its parent App "DashCam Recorder"?

 • The PiP version records video from both camera's, front and back, simultaneously 
 • Both videos are merged into one video for easy playback, with optional watermarking
 • The video quality is automatically selected based on the hardware capabilities of the iPhone

Why DashCam PiP is different:
 • High-quality video – stabilised recording at up to your device’s maximum resolution and frame rate
 • Complete metadata – GPS location, speed, altitude, date and time and accelerometer. Embed in an invisible track or as a watermark
 • Replay and explore – view your drives on a map with the free macOS & iOS DashCam Player app

Key Benefits:
 • Easy and reliable – start recording with one tap, auto-start, loop recording, and Driver Focus mode (screen off)
 • Seamless integration – sync videos with iCloud and save directly to Photos. Works with Siri, Navigation, and Music in the background
 • Adjustable recording – set video length (1 to 15 minutes) and buffer size (for infinite loop recording)

Why choose DashCam PiP over a physical DashCam?
 • High-quality video recording – with advanced stabilisation
 • Enhanced privacy and security – recordings are protected with Face ID or Touch ID
 • Easy access to your videos – via iCloud or AirDrop
 • Use navigation and music apps in the background while recording
 • Free to use – perfect for giving older iPhones a second life

Technical Highlights:
 • Automatic and superb video stabilisation
 • HEVC video compression, same quality but 40% smaller file size
 • Embed GPS, speed, altitude, time, date and accelerometer as metadata
 • Add a Watermark to the video (overlay)
 • Select Front Camera as main camera
 • Save videos to daily trip albums
 • Save a video instantaneously to Photos with Siri (iOS16+): "Save Video", start the App with "Start DashCam Recording"
 • Display a Map with your current position (use a Navigation App in the background for verbal instructions)
 • Infinite loop recording with automatic saving of crash events
 • Parking sensor – pause and resume recording automatically
 • Thermal and battery monitoring to protect your device
 • Autostart - Start/Stop recording with your car (when plugged in)
 • Stable App, top rated crash free score

Tips and Notes:
 • Use flight mode for uninterrupted recording
 • Check local DashCam laws before use
 • DashCam Player for iOS & macOS displays route, speed, and other metadata

If you do not need Picture in Picture, or your iPhone can't record with two camera's simultaneously, please check out "DashCam Recorder" instead.

### 4/5 — Works right, but can’t save videos

*2025-09-07*

I can’t stop the recording because the manual focus covers the start/stop. Make it so pressing the volume button saves the video automatically

**Developer response:** Thanks for reporting ! Will get fixed in the next update.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2025-08-12*

Worked for about 5 minutes and then shut down. Restarted about 10 times and never worked again.

**Developer response:** Problems have been fixed in the new version, try again ;)
