Your iPhone is already the best camera in your car. Drivercam+: Dash & PiP turns it into a full dual-camera drive recorder — road and cabin captured together, with your speed, route and GPS burned into the story of every drive. Mount it, tap record, and drive. Everything else is automatic. RECORD BOTH SIDES OF THE STORY • The rear camera captures the road ahead while the front camera records the cabin as a picture-in-picture window • Live Apple Maps overlay shows exactly where you are as you drive • Big, glanceable speed readout with live GPS coordinates • One tap hides the PiP and map for a completely clean view — telemetry keeps logging in the background A REAL DASH CAM, NOT A CAMERA APP • Continuous loop recording in 1–30 minute segments — storage manages itself, so you never fill your phone • Impact auto-lock: a g-force spike locks the clip so critical moments survive the loop • Record up to 4K at 30 or 60 fps, with stabilisation and exposure lock • Audio Priority: record silently while Spotify, Apple Music, podcasts and CarPlay keep playing — or flip to mic mode and capture cabin sound EVERY DRIVE, FULLY LOGGED • Speed range, average speed, top speed, heading and distance saved with every clip • Full GPS trail recorded point-by-point and mapped on Apple Maps • Journeys tab plots every recorded route on one map with aggregate stats — total distance, drive time, top speed and your longest run EXPORT FOOTAGE WITH THE PROOF BURNED IN • Stamp speed data, GPS location, date/time and the Auto Culture Society watermark straight onto exported clips • Add your own custom logo watermark • Generate a GPS Journey Report PDF — route map, speed range and the complete coordinate log, ready for insurers or the group chat • Share Cards turn any clip into a branded social image with route stats • Export in High, Medium or Low quality, or Quick Share the raw clip instantly YOUR FOOTAGE STAYS YOURS • Everything is stored on your device, in the Files app — no account, no sign-up, no cloud upload • Lock the clips that matter; browse, export and share the rest • Delete everything with one tap whenever you choose FREE TO BROWSE, FAIR TO OWN Your library, exports and journeys are always free. Recording needs a plan after the free trial — every option unlocks every feature, with no tiers and nothing held back: • Monthly with a 3-day free trial • Annual — best value • Lifetime — pay once, keep it forever Built by Auto Culture Society, for people who love the drive.
