Try the smart dashcam for free. CamCarDer Lite (say "Cam-Car-Der") turns your iPhone into a dashcam that records every drive with GPS location and speed, reads speed limit signs and guides you turn by turn. Mount it on the dash, tap Start Recording, and drive. Why drivers love it: • Proof when you need it. After a fender bender, show exactly what happened: video stamped with date, time, speed and a map of where you were. • Catch the unexpected. Wildlife, wild drivers, a meteor across the sky: if it happens on the road, you have it. • Built for the car. A dark, glanceable design you can read at a glance, day or night. ALL-NEW DESIGN A completely redesigned app with a modern glass look, big clear speed numbers, a real-looking speed limit sign and one-tap controls. SPEED LIMIT SIGN DETECTION • Reads speed limit signs while you record, right on your iPhone • US and Canada (rectangular signs) and Europe and the UK (round red-ring signs) • Picks the right sign type and units automatically from your location • Shows the current limit on screen and warns you, with an optional voice alert, when you go over RECORD • Four quality levels from Low to Ultra, with optional audio and image stabilization • GPS location, speed and g-force recorded with every frame • Take photo snapshots without stopping the recording • Turn-by-turn navigation on a floating map card while you record • Dim the screen to reduce heat and save power REPLAY AND SHARE • Drives organized by day, with thumbnails and place names, or browse them on a map • Ride details: your route colored by speed, distance, top speed and average speed • Play back video next to a map that follows your position • Export to Photos with date, time, speed and an animated map built into the video WHAT'S IN LITE CamCarDer Lite is free and shows ads (never while you're recording). It keeps up to 3 clips at a time; delete one to record another. Exported videos include the first 30 seconds of a clip. GO UNLIMITED WITH CAMCARDER Love it? Get the full CamCarDer on the App Store and unlock: • Unlimited clips, with optional automatic recycling of old ones • Full-length video exports • Protected clips that are never deleted • Start recording automatically when the app opens • Custom speeding warning threshold • No ads GOOD TO KNOW • Continuous GPS use drains the battery quickly. Keep your iPhone connected to power while recording. Details: https://oxigenator.com/products/camcarder/ • If a call comes in or you switch apps, CamCarDer Lite saves the current clip and stops recording. • Speed limit detection is a driving aid. Always follow the actual road signs and traffic laws.
