Does not fix to windscreen or dash and fell off😢
It will be great if we could TURN OFF THE SCREEN while recording to save battery
There is apps that run in the background and the screen can be turned off
@@sersolo3112 definitely nothing like that for iPhones
@@RoadHogMD always buy android phone..😅
Yes it happens in Xiaomi redmi phones my personal experience
You can on Android.
buy a drone that follow you. No one would dare to hit you.
Thank you so much. This is really good, especially because it's practically free & the quality is even better than most "normal" dashcams! ♥️
How about an app that records with both cameras ,?
Director mode on Samsung s21 records both cameras
Samsungs have that feature
But is there any app for Android that record from both cameras?
@@splendiddwarf509 build in? How?
I use an "retired" phone. And I have made a free Google Account just for this phone.
It means that every time I park my car near my house, the phone will automaticly connect to My wifi, and the recorded video is saved in google photos.
How did you do that?
Very good idea. I’ll do the same when I have spare phone. So basically download google photos and give access to Photos on iPhone. Sync it in such a way that new videos are uploaded to Google Photos when connected to WiFi. When car is parked at home it will be within your WiFi range and start uploading. Once upload is complete you can either set it to delete that video from phone or keep it. Set the video resolution to 1080p for unlimited uploads.
Love it.
This is brilliant. I should have searched youtube before spending money purchasing an expensive dashcam I never used. I am an Engineer but I hate those annoying cables.
Does this software supports following features
- vibration reduction
- automatically overwrite oldest video if storage exceeded
- recording in background, turn screen off while recording
?
Why even bother with an app? Just hit record...
Thanks, this was really helpful. Have paid for 2 dash cams for my two cars, neither work anymore and I cant figure out wth is wrong being a bit tech challenged! 😉 But THIS I can handle. 👍
Glad we could help! 😉
I'm done with dashcams they all go bad and without warning which sucks, if you get in an accident and think you have recorded evidence :-(
Why do you need to use an App when all you need to do is press Record on your phone?
Might want to place it out of your field of vision. As shown in the video, the placement puts the phone in your way and could cause you to have an accident.
I have been using this product as a dash cam mount for my old iPhone it’s pretty awesome I ordered two extra ones just to have I always catch all kinds of random things on video.
the only problem is u can use this for short commutes but if you are travelling more than an hour the phone heats up and also gets clogged with full memory.1920 is recommended format
Well thats your phone problem and your stupid buy a 512 gb 256gb storage phone
Or an sd card
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 that I would like to use as a dashcam in my car.
To avoid having to run a charging cable, I have attached a power bank to the back of the phone using velcro.
The total weight of both comes to about 600 grams.
Dimensions of the power bank is as follows: Length = 13 cm. Width = 7 cm. Thickness = 3 cm.
The mount will have to grab onto the power bank.
Will this mount hold such a combination.
If not, do you have something that will do the job.
Thanks.
The one I use is Droid DashCam, it's quite good.
The word good is a understatement 10/10 practicality is better
Great video I do hope that you guys could do more repurposing/lifehack videos for your smartphone just like this one.
yes best app using for awhile now, it records speed time and location much clearer than those ridiculous dashcam that fails after one month. only thing the phone gets hot in summertime and shuts off after awhile if left on guard when away from your car. but i work around that 2 thumps up for this app
What app?
most smartphones have miles better cameras than most expensive dashcams
I just passed the return date of stupud expensive dash cam f8000 over $500. I have s8+ . Impulsive buy! Want to
Sell it after seeing ur video! That immediate viewing is what I needed and this bs dash cam has a f... Process and that annoying lady speaking each time u start the engine. How I did not think about this is beyond me. Good work eventhough u reminded me my $500 wound!!
Do you still use your smartphone instead of a dash cam? I wonder if specialised dash cams are more appropriate on a long run than smartphones.
Capable but not really advisable for your smart phone especially in sunny day, too much exposure in sun light could damage your phone cameraa and some parts of it, heat exposure may cause overheating, battery damages and shorten its life, it may leak, explode or cause accidents. So better to put the right device and avoid hassle or sorry for your smart phone.
Just buy a smartphone with active cooling: eu.redmagic.gg/pages/redmagic-5s-specs
Does this software allow the phone to be turned off whilst recordings...otherwise will cause damage to phone
Eh? What damage?
I should definitely try using the app. Thank you for the superb video!
Is there a way to set up a camera in the back of the car on the cheap?
Is this still available ? I don't see it on PlayStore...
Can you record to an SD card & will the card self delete & re start when full ?
Thanks for the video... just bought the camera holder... I hope it will work fine 👍🏻😊
I have an Asus Zenfone 6 that I never use. I have 1tb storage, and the camera is great. Has really sweet specs too. I think I may give this a go. I hate seeing this phone go to waste by only serving as a dust collector.
I wonder is it possible to get a Mount for the rear window to use my iPhone as a Dash cam.
Good video, I will use my old s10e as dashcam. It is on factory reset, have lots of memory, good camera.Thanks
God thanks i have old phone with 4K back camera so yeah second live for my old phone
Thanks for sharing this helpful video. 🤝 Keep up the excellent work! 👍👍
Thanks, would you know an app for Android, Thanks
I used my S10+ as dashcam and GPS at the same time.
How did you achievev this? Using the software suggested?
How?
Jose J. Eduardo Samsung phones have a feature in which you can you 2 apps simultaneously on a split screen basis. Gps takes the upper half of the screen, and the dash cam takes the lower half.
DashCam application able to record both cams would be briliant
The app you recommended cannot ne found on Apple store.!
Could you use an otg adapter to attach a webcam to your phone and then use the app with that instead?
What is as important or moreso than recording the video is having the recording live uploaded to the cloud. How do you do that?
Google drive.
If it can only record with both the rear and the front facing camera at the same time
Is there a camera that you can see a live dash cam thru your phone while being away from your car & park mod, For instance while being at home?
does it auto loop record or not?...do i need to free my memory card all the time or does it do it for me?
OMG Thank you for the phone holder car mount😊
Really good helpful video I have a camera mirror but it's to heavy on my car mirror and drops so its frustrating
So I'll have a look at this idea 👍🇬🇧
Why do you need an app ?
Could you not just use the video camera on the phone ?
a good app lets you have record of speed - handy if pulled over for speeding and you weren't
You can but you will end up with loooong video and what you want it many short clips, so you don't have to scroll and cut the lengthy video to find the event you're looking for. Plus you need an app to erase old videos otherwise your fill up your memory pretty fast.
Video camera oh u phone only work for max 10 mints
I need a dashcam app which can record the video in background while I can use the google map and make phone calls and choose podcast I want to listen to. Is there a solution for this???
Can we connect this app to car screen via Bluetooth
Is there dashcam app that runs in background or minimized?
Night time/low light recording ?
Well these mobile dash camp apps is truily handay a specialy in an car accident and for insurance purpose really helps
Only problem is that this will drain the battery empty incredibly quickly.
Lowest brightness, connected to car USB to charge. Shouldn't be a problem at all.
@@Edvardas96 the phone will for 99% hot as f..... it want be chargeing fast enough
@@tomast9034 yes, which is why dedicated cameras are better
Can you continue to make calls, listen to iTunes etc?
Now I can catch insurance scammers in the act.
were do you store in your phone ?????????
If you have 2 old phones sitting somewhere in the house collecting dust, you can use them as dash camera. Of course you have to remember to remove the camera or hide it in a place.
I have one. Works pretty good.
If you phone battery was swollen for overcharged for long time?
this is amazing! thank you so much!
Her: install a dashcamera App the default camera 📷 app on the iPhone 📱 and Android 📱: ima joke to you
Is this available in America
Thank for the video
Thank you 🙏🏿
Does this method use a lot of your data?
Thank you..!
You could not believe me but I have the Dashcam and the phone so I'm sure at 10000%!!
great video.
Bloody hell good show
How can I get dash cam please
Can you do this with a old phone that isn't active? 🤔
Yes, providing you can get the app onto your phone, it's managed locally so should work fine
Why would you download camera when you can use your own camera in phone?
Ur camera video only record for 10 mints max that is why u need 3r party app to go longer to 1h to 2h ✌
I think the app you download records with GPS location, time stamp and speed
And probably light. Without another app, my phone shows nothing but headlights cause of lights. Im downloading this.
Auto boy app crash 10 times today while recording. What a crap app :( I found another one that is working properly . But hey thats great idea using phone as dash cam.
Its not the same as having dedicated hardware thay you can just fit and forget. You have to manually switch it on every time
My old smart phone’s screen is broken that’s why it’s an old smartphone.
I wish I can convert it to a dash cam without having to use the screen!
It must just record when power is on
WHERE CAN I BUY?
But there's no speed time after save the video
Nice 👍
The app is not available for downloading
How do I install this app on a phone without a network carrier (older Android phone)??
my guess would be to use wifi to download app and then try using it
Man buy a new smartphone. Are you so poor? Sorry to be this rude but everything cannot be free.
Good app
The thing is that some phone holders are moving while driving and that's annoying
No need memory card ?
Is this legal in the UK
Not in the app store no more
The only and biggest drawback is if you have those video apps recording or recording in general you can no longer do anything else on the phone, ie no bluetooth music, etc.
Do you have a spare smartphone?
@@sytron3912 Ah. Excellent suggestion!!!
Wrong
THIS IS THE WAY
curreenttly looking at dash cams and reading reddit dashcams hearing problems in amazon reviews about faulty cams sdcard problems etc , f all that , old cell phone an done
Nice
will be going this way after giving up on the useless apps for top brand dash cams.I had a thinkware f800 and it was fine initillaly but the app now does not work,read reviews on dash cam apps before spending good money..
Sucks you gotta keep turning it on. With a actual dash cam it turns on and records by itself
why wouldn't it be recommended?
Can we see license plates clearly
My phone gets very hot
How can i fix that.
Use ac
NOT PRACTICAL FOR A LONG RUN THO....
£500 on dash cam...you must be joking...what about a call during recording? what about sensors on the rear? dash cam normally cost less than £40 I just installed..
Fair enough , but if you need number plate recognition you may be disappointed .
Im new friend
I was going to spend €200 on an actual dash cam until I saw this video 😉
why dont you just use your existing video recorder already on the phone????
anthony rose not compressed :/
doesnt loop recording, uncompressed, and doenst give relevant information
Max 10 mints of recording
👍👌

You'll get burn in from using that on your s10 or any phone with oled.
No you wont because only still images cause burn in.
