beatCam 6.1 turns your iPhone into a practical situational camera for drives, walks and moments where the important footage often happens before you press record. Start rolling capture and let beatCam keep the recent video buffer ready. When a relevant g-force event, scene detection or manual trigger happens, beatCam protects the clip and keeps the surrounding evidence together. Drive Sessions and Evidence Timelines make it easy to review related incidents in order. Core capture remains available without a purchase. Lifetime Pro is one non-consumable purchase—not a subscription. One-time unlock for custom capture timing, power and performance controls, storage choices, enhanced incident context, on-device scene analysis and evidence-package exports. The six advanced capabilities are: - Custom capture timing for buffer length, post-trigger delay and trigger sensitivity. - Power and performance controls for quality, frame rate, motion sampling, preview behavior and auto-dimming. - Storage choices for automatic cleanup while protected reports remain preserved. - Enhanced incident context with timestamp, peak force, location, speed, heading and route details when enabled. - On-device scene analysis with selectable responsiveness and automatic hazard saves. - Evidence-package exports with photos, PDF and text summaries, route data and annotated video. beatCam is designed for local capture first: start the camera, keep the buffer running and save the moments that matter with the context you need later.
