Rodi is a smart dashcam for your everyday drive. Mount your phone, hit record, and Rodi captures the road while burning the key details — license plate, speed, address and time — right onto the video. Every clip is automatically organized into trips, so your drives are easy to find later. WHAT RODI DOES • Real-time recording with on-screen overlay — speed, current address, time, and detected license plates baked into the footage. • Automatic license-plate recognition while you drive. • GPS trip tracking — every drive gets a route map and stats (distance, duration, average speed). • Navigation companion — a glanceable mini-map on the recording screen, so you can follow your nav app's guidance and keep the camera rolling at the same time. • Smart trips — clips are grouped into trips automatically by time and location. • Edit afterwards — fix a plate, address, or timing on any clip before you share. • Share with the overlay baked in, or export the original. • Import existing videos and add trip info to them. • Hands-free control — pair over Bluetooth and your car's steering-wheel media buttons start/stop recording and zoom, with an audio confirmation, so you never take a hand off the wheel. • English and Chinese, with localized addresses. PRIVACY FIRST Your videos stay on your device and in your own photo library — Rodi never uploads them. Location is used only to draw the overlay and map your trips; it never leaves your device. The only data Rodi collects is anonymous, app-usage analytics to improve the app — not linked to your identity and never used for tracking. Keep the shape of every road you take.
