DuiCam
Detailed App Info:
Application Description
DuiCam is a simple video recorder app for mobiles phones that:
- Keeps only the last 3 clips of a given length (e.g., 10 minutes) to avoid filling up disk space.
- Has a simple interface for viewing screenshots, panning/zooming, saving, and sharing.
Purpose
Our goal is to empower people who report drunk drivers ("Dui" -- Driving under the influence, of alcohol or other substances). A user may place the phone in a dashboard mount and press record to capture activity happening in front of the car. Upon witnessing a vehicle possibly with a drunk driver, the user can stop recording, scroll back to a scene showing the vehicle, pan/zoom to get a good view of the vehicle make/model and hopefully license plate, save the screenshot or video, and share them via email or MMS, and then call authorities to report.
The key feature distinguishing DuiCam from the normal video recorder is that DuiCam only saves the last X minutes, where X is configurable by the user, e.g., 30 minutes, reducing the chance of the app filling the phone's storage.
