A next-generation dash cam that provides 24/7 vehicle surveillance for security and safety.

The Challenge

The previous Owlcam app had low ratings in the app store and was not meeting the needs of customers, overall. The challenge was to create an app that seamlessly integrates with dash cam devices to provide users with more features and an enhanced UI.

The Objective

To re-imagine a connected device app that feels good to use and delights with every tap.

The Solution

The re-imagined version of the app needed standard features that worked for basic users with advanced features that let more seasoned drivers get what they wanted. By prioritizing intuitive UI features and design,
we created an app that felt easy.

Video Playback with GPS Map Tracking

Video playback for all video types is better than ever. It now includes interactive GPS map tracking that plays simultaneously with the video.

AI Real-Time Alerts

When movement, impact or broken glass are detected, Owlcam instantly sends a video alert to your phone.

Enhanced Event and Video Clip Filtering

Filter your video events from ‘driving’ to ‘parked’ to everything in between.

The Result

With an updated, more intuitive UI and a range of new and enhanced features, the result is an app that meets the needs of drivers at every experience level.
