## What is TripREC Dash Cam?

A simple, dependable dash cam for iPhone.

TripREC is built for drivers and road-trippers. It turns an iPhone into a dash cam and records your route, location, mileage and speed along the way.

Features
------------------------------
· Loop recording rolls over the oldest clips at the retention length you set, so hours of driving never fill your storage
· Live time, speed and current street on the recording screen; the time watermark can be turned off
· High, medium and low video quality
· Screen off while recording, tap anywhere to bring it back
· Impact detection: a sharp jolt stops and saves the current clip, then resumes recording
· Hide the map on the recording screen while the route keeps recording
· Audio toggle, focus lock and torch
· Trips filed by date, with playback and the full route on a map
· Distance, duration and average speed kept with every trip
· Save videos to Photos or open them in another app; share routes by email
· Videos, audio and routes stay on your device, never uploaded to a server

## Key features

- Real-time map and data display
- Multiple video resolutions
- Loop recording
- Automatic video saving on calls

### 5/5 — Simple and easy to use

*2026-01-08*

This dash cam is the best way to record from your phone. It is clear to see.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2025-09-24*

Funciona muito bem e cumpre o que promete

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2024-05-17*

Не работает деньги на ветер

### 4/5 — 广角支持

*2024-04-06*

超广角

### 3/5 — H W

*2024-03-11*

I would like to see continuous 90 second videos for every trip.  Saving the last 90 second video isn’t productive.  Allow the app to save all videos at 90 second intervals and l will gladly give the app 5 stars

### 3/5 — why he not recording

*2024-01-31*

does not record in the background

### 2/5 — Not work on iPhone 7

*2023-10-11*

Works on my iPhone 13 pro, but not on iPhone 7 Plus. The screen is not rotated to landscape while the camera did. You can only see half the screen. Contacted the developer but no response at all.

### 5/5 — 样子货

*2023-05-23*

用不了多久就不行了，打开画面像透视片，白天黑夜模式调不了，该录的视频录不了。钱白花了，差☹️👎

### 5/5 — 半屏

*2023-02-27*

手机打开半屏怎么回事

### 4/5 — Works but…

*2023-02-11*

This is great for a true cordless front facing dash cam.  
Lots of people have old iPhones that are no longer being used.  The older iPhones work great as a free dash cam with better video than most current cams.  
You can use the magnetic smartphone window mounts to convert your old iPhone to a window mounted dash cam in a few minutes.   
The only real issue is this video recording app eats batteries fairly fast.  However, I don’t leave any smart phone in the car or parked somewhere so nightly charging is not a problem.  
A great reuse for your old iPhones, especially the smaller iPhones!
