## What is Dashcam?

Dashcam turns your iPhone into a focused, dependable driving recorder. Videos, photos, and optional driving data are stored in the app sandbox on your device by default. No account is required.

Included for free

- Segmented loop recording that removes the oldest unlocked clips when needed
- Manual clip locking to protect important recordings from loop deletion
- Optional audio, smart screen dimming, and charging or motion auto-start
- Photos during recording, chronological history, and video export
- Multiple quality settings, including the existing highest 4K option on supported devices
- Optional location, speed, and heading recording with a basic synchronized playback HUD

Dashcam Enhanced — optional one-time purchase

- View the full route and current playback position on a map
- Export SRT, GPX, CSV, and a separate video with a telemetry overlay
- Automatically lock the current clip when a significant impact is detected
- Pay once to unlock permanently; this is not a subscription

Location recording is off by default and is used only while recording after you enable it. Files containing telemetry may include precise location and time, so review them before sharing.

Dashcam is a recording aid, not a driver-assistance or accident-prevention system. Follow local laws, mount and configure your device before driving, and do not operate your phone while driving. Results vary with device model, storage, temperature, power, location signal, and system limitations.
