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.

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.
