## What is dashcam.bike?

dashcam.bike is built for bicycle commuters to record every ride.

Why buy a separate camera when you already have an iPhone? Our in-app "Cinematic Stabilization" and our anti-shake phone mount work together to create high-quality footage with just your iPhone.

"Live Link" lets you share your live video feed & GPS location with loved ones so they know you're safe.

Use your smartphone's camera to record your rides. Our low-power standby mode uses close to zero battery, and our power-saving features let you record up to six hours on a single charge.

In standby mode, you're ready to record any hazard you encounter with a single tap of the screen.

The average commute uses just 5% of your battery. We recommend you record every commute or short trip, and leave the app on standby mode for longer rides.

Stay safe on the road with these features:
- Report hazardous conditions to your city officials
- Have video evidence in case of a crash
- Feel safe knowing that aggressive drivers can face consequences
- Create compilation videos to share group rides and give your friends FOMO
- Share cars parked in bike lanes with 311, or whoever deals with this in your city

Features:
- Doesn't disrupt your music or podcasts: Record video while playing through phone speakers or bluetooth headphones
- Super-low-power: automatically enters low-power-mode
- Gesture-based controls so you can start and stop recording without looking at your phone
- Records GPS tracks and overlays footage on a 3D map
- Export timelapse videos, up to 32x speed (nobody wants to watch your 10 minute ride at 1x speed!)
- Export videos to social media or save to your phone
- Export compilation videos
- Uses loop recording to automatically manage your storage
- Works in portrait or landscape mode
- Rain mode to ignore taps from raindrops

Premium features for subscribers:
- Cinematic stabilization (available on iPhone X and newer phones).
- Remove the watermark
- Multiple dashboard themes, including our new "Driver's Seat Perspective" overlay to show the absurdity of what commuters can encounter
- More scrolling on our 311 Feed, which lets you see what users in select cities have reported.
- Live Link video feed sharing

Privacy and Security:
- Your videos and GPS tracks are stored locally on your phone, not on our servers
- Exported videos can hide select addresess

Hardware:
- We recommend you use our app in combination with our footage-stabilizing mount: https://dashcam.bike/mounts
- No external cameras are needed. We use your smartphone camera.
- You can mount your camera on your handlebars to record in front of you, or on your seat post to record behind you.


FAQs:

>> How do you keep my data private?
Everything we do centers around your privacy! Your videos and location are stored locally on your device, not on our servers.

>> When can I use the app?
We recommend opening the app on every ride around town. You can leave it on standby to save battery power.

>> Can I play music while riding?
Yes! When you launch the app, your music will be paused. Just hit play again.

>> Can I use my maps app while riding?
Yes! Our phone mounts are designed to tilt upward so you can switch apps, check maps, then switch back.

>> How do I find my ride's highlights?
All you have to do is tap the screen while it’s recording. When you reach your destination, every tap will be visible as a purple marker in the timeline.
    
>> How do you make those cool 3D flyover videos?
Just hit Share > Video Clips and select multiple clips. The app will create a flyover video between each of the clips you selected.

>> How do I report hazards?
Use your city's 311 system. In select cities, our One-Tap 311 Reporting can do this for you. This includes Boston, Washington DC, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh.

>> When is One-Tap 311 Reporting coming to my city?
See https://dashcam.bike/311 to bring 311 reporting to your city.

### 4/5 — Good for android phones

*2026-01-24*

Due to Apple’s own internal policies, this app is unable to do background recording on iPhones

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-05-01*

Very useful and works well.  My own phone mount isn't great so it's a little shaky but I'll look into their mount.

Would recommend a more SEO searchable name (impossible to look up from Google), better graphic design on the app (looks a little outdated), but these are such nitpicky things.

Am very happy to not have to buy an expensive dash cam that I need to remove and charge, the ease of using the phone as a dash cam is so nice.

### 5/5 — Quick tips to make it even better

*2024-10-19*

I haven’t even used this app on a ride yet but I’m already in love. I wish I had two phones one for my handle bars and one for my rear!

 At first the video quality was subpar and I noticed when I went into my camera app the quality was much higher. 
 So I went into the dash cam app’s settings and changed the video quality to dvd and my camera to back camera (alternate).  This is such a good touch on the software developers side. 
I didn’t realize how much higher quality my “alternate” camera is! This will work great as a dash cam so long as you have a high quality camera!! But even subpar video quality is better than none.

### 2/5 — Submit to 311 disappeared

*2024-08-21*

The share  to 311 randomly disappeared in my app.

### 5/5 — Life changing. And will probably save lives.

*2024-06-30*

It used to enrage me to see cars casually
Blocking the bike lane, making me half to risk getting run over by traffic. Not anymore. I can report them in seconds. Favorite part of my day.

### 5/5 — Finally!! Yes!

*2023-11-04*

So happy to have an easy way to report bike lane violations. This is a game changer.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2023-10-15*

This app, especially paired with the accompanying mount, is super easy to use. It takes me a few seconds before each ride to start recording and it’s fun to watch clips from recent rides.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-09-21, version 2.3.1*

Amazing app!!!  I love how they even not only take suggestions to improve the app but they actively respond and take them seriously with feedback. Not to mention they let us rate the suggestions too. I believe if something isn’t being fixed it’s because they just can’t for a reason because they even let us know why they can and can’t do it. Best one hands down!!

### 4/5 — Great app, horrible theme

*2023-09-02*

All of the other reviews are correct: this app is a godsend! However I do not get the peculiar choice to engineer a horrible theme instead of using the system theme. It looks cheap and awful but the UX is still clear. The design for the low power mode screen is incredible though.

**Developer response:** We've refreshed our UX and would love for your feedback on our updated design!

### 5/5 — A great utility app

*2023-08-28*

Downloaded this app a few months ago, but hadn’t been able to use it until recently. 
With just the included tutorial in the app, I quickly learned the basic functions to Record, Mark, and Stop recording multiple times mid-ride.  
Paired with their latest mount, it worked perfectly.  Contacted support for a mount question, got a prompt response, and additional tips to practice.
When in Standby, it indeed uses minimal power.  Started with a fully charged phone, and after a 4:00+ hour ride (which also used navigational app and messaging app) the battery was only down to 52% remaining.
Great for capturing POV ride perspective (and narration if you wish) and also potential unpleasant encounters with other vehicles.  The video provides a time/date stamp as well as speed indicator.
