Phones have continued to evolve since they first entered our lives. The phones, which were originally only for communication, have now started to gain very different features. Over the years, phones that host new features seem to have a more important place in our lives in the future.
Android phones will now be used as dash cams
Having a very important place in the world of smartphones with its Android operating system, Google also wants to compete with companies such as Apple and Samsung with its Pixel branded phones. Continuing to add new features to its phones in this regard, Google is preparing to offer a new security feature that can turn Android phones into a dash camera.
The new Personal Safety feature uploaded to the Google Play Store reveals the company’s new plans. This feature, which is thought to be published by Google by mistake, appears with the test version of the Personal Safety application. Smartphones will start to be used in a new area with the new vehicle camera feature offered in the ‘Be Prepared’ section of the Personal Safety application.
Thanks to this feature, which can be set to activate manually or automatically when connected to a device, the phone can be used comfortably while the camera is active. In addition, the dashcam mode will allow videos to continue recording even when the screen is off.
It is stated that the videos captured will take up 30 MB of space per minute, and there is a maximum recording limit of up to 24 hours. We see that users also have the option to record only video in dash cam mode. Google also has an option to automatically delete recordings after three days.
Considering that dash cameras mostly have low resolution, we think it is quite logical to use smartphones for this purpose. So what do you think about using smartphones as dash cams? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
