About this APK

Dashcam is an app by droidPerception in the Video Players & Editors category. It includes native code only for x86 32-bit, ARM 32-bit and MIPS, so it won't run on 64-bit-only phones such as recent Pixels.

Since version 1.10, the minimum Android version rose from 3.0 to 3.1. It asks for 6 permissions, 3 of them sensitive: camera, read shared storage and modify shared storage.

Description

From the listing uploaded by “foosty666”.

New Dashcam-Beta is public now http://droidperception.wordpress.com/2014/11/10/dashcam-beta/ - No more Root required - All Resolutions the Camera supports IMPORTANT - Android 4.4 Users will require rooted devices for the Play store version. Dashcam allows you to attach a USB webcam to your phone or tablet and record videos or take pictures. Dashcam is one of the easiest ways to install a dashboard camera in your car and record videos. The app requires that your device is USB OTG capable and has webcam support enabled. Please check if your webcam is on the list of supported devices ( http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/ ). Starting with Android 4.4 superuser (root) rights are required for this app to work. Some Android 4.3 devices may already need this, too. Several of the most common video resolutions are supported. Videos and photos are saved on the device and can be viewed in the gallery. If Motion Jpeg is not selected videos will be saved as mp4 files. It is recommended to use Motion Jpeg for faster video displaying. When Motion Jpeg is selected videos will be saved as mjpg files. MX Video player is recommended to view them. Troubleshooting: We recommend to use a powered usb hub to attach the webcam. Webcams may require a lot of current which can cause your device to reset as the Webcam is turned on.

Dashcam APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Dashcam APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 208d6a2887abd7dee0021df5740054b9.
