Body cam app for your phone

One camera, or front and rear at once.

For when you're on foot, on a bike or giving rides. Dashivo^™ records the camera facing out and the camera facing you at the same time, with sound, each into its own video. Touch protection keeps a pocket, a strap or a stray hand from stopping anything.

What it records

2 cameras: Front and rear at the same time, on iPhone XS and XR and newer. On Android it depends on the phone; the app checks yours.
Sound: Recorded with the video from the phone's microphone. You can turn it off.
Its own file: Each camera saves its own video, named with the date, the time to the second and the camera.
1080p each: Two cameras at once can't go higher. Record just the front or the rear camera if you'd rather.
On the stamp: REC with the quality and frame rate, then BODY CAM, with the time, the place and your speed. The file name says which camera.
Your view: One camera fills the screen and the other shows in a small picture: tap it to flip them. Both keep recording either way.

Body cam mode records one camera, or front and rear at once. Driving? Dash cam mode records the road and the cabin at once and keeps the HUD, speed limits and loop recording. Which phones can record both cameras: see which phones work. On iPhone, Dashivo stays on screen to record: don't press the side button, because Apple stops the camera while the iPhone is locked. Screen off gives you a black screen instead.

How it works

01
Tap BODY CAM beside the record button, or set Mode and Cameras in Settings › Dash & body cam: Rear, Front, or Front and rear.
02
Tap record. It records with sound, each camera into its own file.
03
A few seconds after REC appears, Dashivo offers Touch protection, or turns it on by itself, or never asks: your choice.
04
Hold the pill for a second and a half to unlock; on iPhone, then your app PIN if you've set one. Recording never stops.

With Dashivo Cloud

Copies of the clips that matter, locked on your phone first

Hold to
unlock.

This screen works like the one in the app: hold the pill for a second and a half to unlock. A tap anywhere else only wakes the pill; nothing else happens.

Try it: press and hold the pill on the screen.

When recording starts

In a pocket, on a strap or on a vest, the screen gets pressed by accident. Touch protection keeps recording, turns the screen black and dim, and ignores every touch until you hold the pill.

Ask
A few seconds after REC appears, so you can see the camera first, Dashivo asks whether to turn it on.
The default
Always
It turns on by itself after a 3-second countdown you can cancel.
Never
It never asks. Tap PROTECT beside the record button when you want it.

Screen off goes fully black at its lowest brightness while recording carries on. Hold a finger anywhere on it for a second and a half to bring back Touch protection.

Worn, held
or mounted.

Pick the camera that faces what matters. Front and rear together suits a handlebar mount or holding the phone.

On your chest
In a chest harness, on a strap or in a vest pocket with the camera clear. The camera facing you sees only your shirt, so choose the one facing out, or record both and sort it out later.
On a bike
On a handlebar mount, record front and rear: the rear camera sees the road ahead and the front camera sees you and what's behind.
In a rideshare
Body cam works, with one camera or both. For driving, the Dash cam's road and cabin records both cameras too and keeps the HUD, the speed-limit sign and loop recording. Either way, tell riders they're being recorded: some states require everyone in a conversation to agree before sound is recorded.

Audio consent laws vary by state. Read the recording laws overview and check the law where you are. This isn't legal advice.
