dashcam.bike is built for bicycle commuters to record every ride.
Why buy a separate camera when you already have an iPhone? Our in-app "Cinematic Stabilization" and our anti-shake phone mount work together to create high-quality footage with just your iPhone.
"Live Link" lets you share your live video feed & GPS location with loved ones so they know you're safe.
Use your smartphone's camera to record your rides. Our low-power standby mode uses close to zero battery, and our power-saving features let you record up to six hours on a single charge.
In standby mode, you're ready to record any hazard you encounter with a single tap of the screen.
The average commute uses just 5% of your battery. We recommend you record every commute or short trip, and leave the app on standby mode for longer rides.

- Report hazardous conditions to your city officials

FAQs:
>> How do you keep my data private?
