- In this episode I turn an old iPhone 4, a GoPro3 Hero+ and a Ricoh Theta S 360 camera into a daily dash cam. We all have that drawer that's filled with tech treasures of yesteryear, why not elevate their job description from paperweight to dash cam? Learn about the benefits of using a smart phone dash cam app to record your daily commute. I'll discuss setting up power, configuring the app, how to keep the sun off your dash cam to prevent overheating and how to use wide angle lens adapters to see more of the road in front of you.

I’m 0:58 seconds into this video n I like your style. You seem like a genuinely good person. Instant sub.
Great 👍🏽 video. Surprisingly it doesn’t have more views. Easy to follow. App you recommended is still available for the old 5SE.
Good video mate.
Thanks ever use a old windows phone for a dash cam the burst works great !!
You saved my life!
Great video 👍😎
I need an app for over night with motion detection any suggestions?
GoPro, at least the 3 has loop recording.
seriously man, you have tablet on the stereo dash? if yes then its not only me! thanks for detailed tutorial
Ha! Naw but the screen on the Clarity looks like they literally stuck a tabet on the dash 🤣
For the zip tie bracelet, please tighten it 1 click for each new subscriber. You will get a lot of people watching for updates. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Ha! OMG I wore that thing for like a month and a half! Tightening it would definitely up the stakes, I’ll let someone else take it there. Thanks for the view and comment!
Why is it so hard to find a good dash cam with great night settings :/ I don’t like the poor resolution on them
+Alex Miranda it likely has to do with auto exposure, the camera boosts its sensitivity in an attempt to reach proper exposure, destroying the image with noise in the process. My Ring uses IR leds to get a better image at night, maybe dash cams will follow suit? I think dashcams will be standard issue on future vehicles like GPS is now.
its not hard if youre willing to pay $4-500 for a dash cam.
Hi , could you please suggest best app by which I convert my spare iPhone as dash camera ? Thanks 😊
This is the one I used in the video: apps.apple.com/us/app/smart-dash-cam/id1019175347
I have been thinking about using a 360 camera but on the roof, would be nice if there were a way to program it to act like a dashcam.
The footage would be amazing, but there’s a lot of issues. Mounting it securely is at the top of the list. You might want to just be comfortable with the idea of losing it at any moment. Once mounted, you’ll be reliant on the battery and you’ll have to keep it charged. Some of the newer 360 cams might have DVR or continuous recording, otherwise you’ll have to manage the video files manually. Not out of the question but it’s risky and a bit of work. Let me know if you give it a shot.
Yeah, exactly, 1 is to getting it to stay there, but I would like to have a quickrelease so no one can grab it during the night. 2 is to get it to power from the car and 3 is to get the dashcam overwrite videofiles feature.
If someone release a 360 you can mod on your own would be good.
Where can I get the clips on the iPhone? Thank you.
Are you referring to the video files the dash an app saves? I believe the videos are viewable in the app and you can choose to save them to your roll (photos).
I was using a smartphone as a dash cam but the only problem is i left the charger connected for long time and the battery was swollen
That and sitting on a hot dash in direct sun probably didn’t help. Definitely going to want to unplug and remove from the dash when not driving. Thanks for the recommendation,
@@DIWHYDOTLIFE No is when im driving for long period of time
You can't have anything above the dashboard and below the rear view mirror
Legally speaking? Good to know. 🤙

zip tie
@UCMm3_VgfTu7RnOe_tEbJeWw If you install a 360 camera how do you use it at the time you make a lane change as a side view camera? That's what I'm interested in. I have a rearview camera. Front facing are cheap.
SIDE VIEW. I want left turn or right to eliminate my Kia blind spot. How would a 360 camera do that?
Thanks.
A 360 camera records in all directions all the time. When you playback the footage you control what you’re “looking at”. If the camera is mounted on the dash, you’re limited to what the camera can see out your windows which is definitely not as good as an external camera, but you’ll see something.

"Sticky bottoms" is the name of your tape.
Good band name too 🤪
Can you do another zip tie bracelet challenge but this time put a wider one on until you get to 2.5 k
