About OverWatch Dashcam (Beta)
Utilize your old and unused Android phone or device to record your driving!
Current Features:
- Auto Recording
-- Automatically starts recording when the application is launched. Great to use with Tasker to launch the app when your car is started!
- Loop Recording
-- Records video in short chunks of 1 - 10 minutes. Keep the videos short for uploading to the web and easier editing
-- Also automatically deletes old videos when free space gets low, so you never have to manually clear space. (User definable)
- Select your recording resolution and framerate
-- Record at a high, HD resolution for better clarity, or at a lower resolution for better space utilization
-- Smooth 30fps video, or space-conserving 20fps
- Live video preview so you can see where the camera is aiming
- Live updating storage space indicator
The app places recorded videos in /sdcard/OverWatch/Videos
Coming soon:
- Automatic detection of your device/camera's supported resolutions and framerates.
- GPS and sensor logging
- GPS based speed overlay
- "Flag Recording" button, which will flag the currently recording, or last recorded video as 'Do Not Delete'
- More!
Known issues:
- Viewfinder changes aspect ratio between preview and record mode.
- Text size can be different on various pixel density and resolution devices (Please report issues, which include the device model).
- Recording stops or app ANRs when app loses foreground focus.
- Video becomes unplayable if app force closes or is forcefully killed.
Please understand that this app is new, and built from the ground up. I will be working on adding new features and bug fixes whenever possible. If you run into any issues, please contact me with information, including what device you are using it on, what went wrong, and what were you doing when it happened.
