Droid Dashcam - Driving video recorder

Stop Losing Critical Dashcam Footage to App Crashes

Most dashcam apps fail when you need them most—battery drain, storage errors, or sudden background termination. Droid Dashcam - Driving video recorder solves this with a dedicated recording engine that survives Android memory management, even on devices running Android 12L and above. Your driving evidence stays intact, frame by frame.

Core Recording Tools & Modes

• Loop recording with smart overwrite – Automatically manages storage by deleting the oldest unlocked files first, never touching your saved clips.
• G-sensor event detection – Triggers automatic file locking when sudden acceleration, braking, or impact is detected, protecting that footage from overwrite.
• Resolution and bitrate controls – Choose from 480p up to 4K recording, with adjustable bitrate to balance quality and file size per your SD card capacity.
• Background recording with persistent notification – Continues capturing video even when the app is minimized, with a persistent notification to prevent Android from killing the process.
• Manual save button & emergency mode – Tap to instantly save the last 30 seconds of footage as a protected file; activate emergency mode for continuous saving until manually disabled.
• Night mode with exposure compensation – Automatically adjusts ISO and shutter speed in low light, with manual slider for fine-tuning brightness.
• Speed overlay & GPS data embedding – Records your current speed (from GPS or OBD) directly onto the video, along with coordinates and timestamp.
• File manager with built-in player – Browse, play, delete, or share saved clips without leaving the app; supports slow-motion playback and frame-by-frame scrubbing.

Key Advantages for Daily Drivers

• Minimal battery drain – Uses hardware acceleration (MediaCodec API) instead of software encoding, reducing power consumption by up to 40% compared to generic recorders.
• Automatic start on power connect – Configure the app to launch and begin recording as soon as your phone detects a charging connection (cigarette lighter adapter required).
• Storage health warnings – Alerts you when your SD card is near capacity, failing, or formatted incorrectly (exFAT required for 4K clips).
• No root access required – Works entirely within Android's standard permissions; no device modification needed.
• Customizable recording segments – Set clip duration from 1 to 10 minutes, with automatic gap-less stitching between files.
