What's different to its parent App "DashCam Recorder"? • The PiP version records video from both camera's, front and back, simultaneously • Both videos are merged into one video for easy playback, with optional watermarking • The video quality is automatically selected based on the hardware capabilities of the iPhone Why DashCam PiP is different: • High-quality video – stabilised recording at up to your device’s maximum resolution and frame rate • Complete metadata – GPS location, speed, altitude, date and time and accelerometer. Embed in an invisible track or as a watermark • Replay and explore – view your drives on a map with the free macOS & iOS DashCam Player app Key Benefits: • Easy and reliable – start recording with one tap, auto-start, loop recording, and Driver Focus mode (screen off) • Seamless integration – sync videos with iCloud and save directly to Photos. Works with Siri, Navigation, and Music in the background • Adjustable recording – set video length (1 to 15 minutes) and buffer size (for infinite loop recording) Why choose DashCam PiP over a physical DashCam? • High-quality video recording – with advanced stabilisation • Enhanced privacy and security – recordings are protected with Face ID or Touch ID • Easy access to your videos – via iCloud or AirDrop • Use navigation and music apps in the background while recording • Free to use – perfect for giving older iPhones a second life Technical Highlights: • Automatic and superb video stabilisation • HEVC video compression, same quality but 40% smaller file size • Embed GPS, speed, altitude, time, date and accelerometer as metadata • Add a Watermark to the video (overlay) • Select Front Camera as main camera • Save videos to daily trip albums • Save a video instantaneously to Photos with Siri (iOS16+): "Save Video", start the App with "Start DashCam Recording" • Display a Map with your current position (use a Navigation App in the background for verbal instructions) • Infinite loop recording with automatic saving of crash events • Parking sensor – pause and resume recording automatically • Thermal and battery monitoring to protect your device • Autostart - Start/Stop recording with your car (when plugged in) • Stable App, top rated crash free score Tips and Notes: • Use flight mode for uninterrupted recording • Check local DashCam laws before use • DashCam Player for iOS & macOS displays route, speed, and other metadata If you do not need Picture in Picture, or your iPhone can't record with two camera's simultaneously, please check out "DashCam Recorder" instead.
