Get Dash Cam Travel on Google Play

Long story short – from driver to drivers

I often drive with navigation displayed on my phone, mounted in a windshield holder. One day I realized I could use it as a dash cam by enabling background recording. I searched Google Play for a stable, easy-to-use app that could record in the background—but none met my needs. So I decided to create my own. Dash Cam Travel is a user-friendly app that turns your phone into a reliable dash cam for everyday driving. Dash cameras are the most objective witnesses on the road.

Real reviews

"Best of DashCam apps on Google Play market 👍 Interesting feature is Sport mode. 🏎️ Auto-start works very well after enabling it in the Xiaomi Android system settings of autostart applications. 🎉"
"Great app, everything you want. Went through several apps before this one."
"I am very happy with using DashCam. Combination of Autostart by GPS, loop recording and background recording is best for me. 😍 Good work 👍 Good options, good stability, simple user interface. Nice."
"Works really well, and great that it has infinity focus, so you don't get a closeup video of what birds leave on the windscreen! Recording in the background is very useful. A great app to have onboard. Thanks, Mark."
"The video is absolutely sharp and smooth, with outstanding colour detail (on my Samsung S8). I'm very impressed."
"Perfect car camera for everyday use 😎 I purchased the full version. Works better than other dashcams. Nice UI. 👌Nokia Android One."
