Dashcam Pro

About Dashcam Pro Android App

Version 2.4.8
For Android Mobile and Tablet

This app records your journey in multiple video files format mp4. These files integrate GPS location data, which are stored in SQL database. GPS data is used when replaying video or when reviewing the route on MAP.

This app can capture normal photo, captures photo while recording (Android OS 4.3 and newer)

When reviewing video you can retrieve any frame of it by taking Snapshot.
All photos taken by this app contain Exif information (GPS data) if GPS is available. Exif data is used for locating photo on Google map later.

This app uses the way of looped recording on multiple video files, oldest file will be removed and replaced by newest file (for saving the space of device's storage)

When you start the app for the first time, the app will calculate the duration and number of video files for the queue to perform the looped recording. This calculation depends on free space storage and file size per minute (FSPM). FSPM is very different on different devices and with different video bit rate and varied from some Mega bytes to about 20 Mega bytes/minute (see statistics)

By this way of calculation we have a new recording session with the following parameters
Min number of files: 2
Max number of files: 6
All the files has the same duration of 1 to 10 minutes
Min time : 2x1=2 minutes and Max time : 6x10=60 minutes (an hour)

If your device does not have much space storage and you want to start new recording session, so you must remove all files of prior session to get free space storage
