There are all kinds of reasons why you might want to set up a dash cam in your car: Everything from settling insurance claims to capturing footage of passing meteorites. And if you’re taking your smartphone along for the ride anyway, then you may as well get it to take over dash cam duties too.
There are quite a few apps out there ready to meet your dash cam needs. The selection is more limited on iOS, where Car Camera and CamOnRoad seem to be the best of the bunch. The latter is free and the former has a Lite version available if you want to test it out before you buy.
CamOnRoad is also available on Android, along with DailyRoads Voyager, AutoGuard Dash Cam and CaroO, the last of which can also monitor your car’s vital statistics at the same time. All of these are free (or have free versions) so you can see which one suits your device best.
