About

Live Speed Camera

Features
Read full description

Free speed radar for your iPhone: point the camera at a moving car, dog, runner, horse or bike, tap it once and watch its speed appear live in km/h or mph. No calibration, no measuring tape, no account — and your camera images never leave your phone. GREAT FOR • Checking how fast cars really drive past your street • Timing sprints, runs and football drills • Measuring your dog's zoomies at the park • Horse training, cycling and everyday curiosity HOW IT WORKS • Choose what you are measuring: Car, Dog, Runner, Horse or Bike • Tap the object on screen — a tracking box locks on • Read the speed live as it approaches or passes by • When it is gone, a summary card shows max, average and min speed BUILT FOR HANDHELD USE • Gyroscope stabilisation compensates for hand tremor and panning • Works best on objects coming toward you or passing at an angle • Auto mode sees whether the object is coming at you or crossing from the side (you can still pick Head-on or Side) • Too far away? The app tells you to wait instead of guessing SAVE, SHARE AND REPORT • Every result gets a photo card you can save to Photos or share • Street report: share a PDF or CSV with the number of cars, speeds over a limit and the 85th percentile speed PRIVATE BY DESIGN All recognition and tracking runs on your device. No video, photo or measurement is ever uploaded. The app is free with ads from Google AdMob: three free measurements every day, then watch a short ad for 3 more, or remove the limit and all ads with a one-time purchase. It also shares anonymous usage statistics, such as which features are used, to help improve it. IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, Türkçe, Español, 中文, हिन्दी, العربية, Português, Русский, 日本語, Deutsch, Français — with automatic km/h or mph based on your region. GOOD TO KNOW Speed is estimated from the camera image and the typical real-world size of the chosen object. Expect a margin of roughly 10–15% depending on distance and angle. Live Speed Camera is made for fun, training and curiosity — it is not a certified measuring instrument and must not be used for legal, official or enforcement purposes.
