## What is Dride?

Dride 4K is a dashcam with 4G built in, and this app is how you use it. Check on your car from anywhere, find the exact moment you need from any drive, and know the second something happens, on the road or in the parking lot.

CHECK ON YOUR CAR FROM ANYWHERE
• See the road and the cabin live over 4G LTE, with your car on the map
• Wake your parked car's camera and look around in seconds
• No signal where you are? Connect straight to the camera over Wi-Fi

KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
• Get an alert the moment a crash is detected or someone bumps your parked car
• Every drive is saved as a ride: where it started, where it ended, how long and how far
• Play a ride and watch your car move along the route with the video
• Zoom in on a plate or a street sign in sharp 4K

FIND THE MOMENT YOU NEED
• Pick a day and scroll its timeline to the minute
• Press the button in the car to keep a clip the moment you see something
• Switch between the front and cabin view, HD and full 4K

TRIM IT, SHARE IT
• Cut just the seconds that matter, mute the audio if you like
• Save the clip to your phone or keep it in the cloud
• Send it to your insurer, the police or a friend in a few taps
• Share your cameras with family through an invite link

PROTECT YOUR PARKED CAR
• Parking mode keeps watch with motion radar
• A battery cutoff stops your car's battery from draining
• A parking reminder shows where you left the car
• Warnings for low car battery, high temperature and a removed SD card

MAKE IT YOURS
• 4K recording, cabin camera, G-sensor sensitivity, sounds and more, all from your phone
• Updates for the camera and its modem install from the app
• Built-in diagnostics and in-app support when you need a hand

Requires a Dride 4K dashcam. Add a Dride Mini rear camera for a second view. Live view and alerts away from the car use the camera's data plan.

### 1/5 — Obsolete

*2025-12-14*

Unfortunately this Kickstarter project seems to have bitten the dust. The hardware can’t be found anymore and their website is sparse. What started out as a promising technology just never got off the ground.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2024-12-10*

For those wanting a refund, contact Yitzhak Zino or Avi Zeno at SerVision.

### 1/5 — Reprehensible.

*2024-07-22*

There is no way to describe how terrible this app, this product, or the combination of the two are in words. This is coming from a Kickstarter backer who still hasn’t received all of his parts from 3 years ago.

Avoid this abomination to your bank account by buying a real product like a blackvue. Honestly, duct taping a go-pro or a 1990s Kodak to your hood would be more reliable than this product in 2024. 

I receive at least 10 false alarms every night from rain drops on the lowest sensitivity setting. We cannot connect to review footage. It also rapidly restarts when I get in the car and drive. 

All accounts are associated with the first device that pairs with the WiFi and not an email or universally acceptable account so you cannot allow family to join… you know like family members who might use an automobile and experience issues with your dash cam. 

All customer service occurs on a forum. You will not receive a response unless you message repeatedly and then they direct you to check a forum without a search function. The forum uses your real name and will misdirect while you talk in circles since apparently, all development and technical experts have exited this company. 

Avoid at all costs. Broken trash with broken, trashy customer service. A complete cash grab by people who don’t care at all about their product.

### 2/5 — I mean it’s okay at best

*2024-05-27*

I’ve had the Dride 4K for a while and seems like the camera works half the time and almost no time that it actually matters. The only time it got once was when I was driving and I hit the button. But the parking feature is pretty much useless as some hit my car tonight and nothing to show for it. Only recorder a few seconds after the hit. What is the point of park feature if it doesn’t record. And also night vision also not working…

### 1/5 — Scam

*2024-04-26*

This product does not work at all as it was promoted nor does it even work based on what the instruction manual that comes with it. No actual customer support whatsoever. Company has horrible reviews all over the internet. Owner of the company bans customers who speak up in the forum about how truly awful this product is and they are telling the truth. Owner of the company should be in jail.

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-02-28*

I luv my Dride

### 5/5 — Great

*2024-02-09*

I luv my Dride

### 1/5 — Total trash

*2024-02-08*

The app doesn’t work, it constantly disconnects from the camera. What a piece of junk.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-01-10*

Do not buy this product. Absolutely useless

### 1/5 — Interface and functionality is rrly bad

*2023-12-07*

Interface and the functionality along with limited feature of this app is really bad. It demotivates me to use it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 20.57.0 — 2026-10-20

iPad
• The app now uses the whole screen on iPad: rides, cloud videos and search sit in a grid, the trim page puts the description and options side by side, and settings and notifications sit in a centered column.
• The car between a ride's start and end addresses is no longer squashed flat.

Also
• Coming back to the app after a while now opens the main page instead of live view.

### 20.56.9 — 2026-10-19

Share your cameras
• Share a dashcam with family or friends: on My Devices tap the people icon, pick the cameras and send the invite in a chat. They tap the link and the camera is added to their account. Invites work once and expire after an hour.

Live view
• When the camera gets hot it lowers the live video quality instead of losing the connection. "Reduced streaming quality" shows on the video while this is on.
• The map finds your car right after you wake the camera, shows where it's parked while GPS reconnects, and stays zoomed in on the car instead of jumping around.
• A sleeping camera opens the wake-up screen instead of an "unstable connection" warning, and live view tells you clearly why it couldn't start.

Rides
• While a ride plays, the car on the map stays where the video is.

Camera update (drideOS 2.4.0, installed from the app)
• A camera that hangs while parked now recovers by itself, and parked cameras no longer shut down mid-drive.
• A remote wake sent right after parking is no longer lost.
• The rear camera no longer loses footage after a wake, and sound stays in sync with the picture after a wake or a restart.
• Clips no longer lose seconds of video after the camera starts or wakes, and they start playing within about a second, also remotely.
• Live view: closing it on one phone no longer cuts off another viewer, and the camera stops streaming when you leave.
• A hot camera pauses its cellular radio until it cools instead of overheating, and the app shows when it runs hot.
• The camera's Wi-Fi comes back reliably when the car starts, and phones joining it get connected right away, even without cellular service.
• Restarts no longer crash the camera.
• A new watermark: date, name and GPS on a small rounded label, with a parking badge while parked. It no longer shows an old GPS position.
• Rides keep their route under an open sky, and keep their start time across a restart.

Also: updated Firebase and WebRTC libraries, and many smaller fixes.
