VelocityCam
Record the action. Keep the telemetry.
Turn your Android phone into a telemetry camera for drives, trails, boat runs, track sessions, motorcycles, and bicycles. Record video with synchronized GPS speed and session telemetry, use the free Minimal HUD or the Pro Handheld HUD, then replay, analyze, export, and share with the HUD intact.
Requires Android 10 or newer with a rear camera and GPS. No external sensors or extra hardware required.
No account · No cloud uploads · No ads · Original recordings stay untouched
Action video with the data built in
VelocityCam records your video and telemetry together, keeping the live HUD synchronized during recording, playback, and export.
Live Telemetry
GPS speed and the readouts for your chosen HUD profile respond while you record — Minimal GPS speed or Handheld GPS performance.
Automatic G-Force Centering
VelocityCam automatically centers the recorded G-force reference when recording begins, so acceleration, braking, and cornering values stay usable.
Synchronized Playback
Review the footage with telemetry aligned to the moment it was recorded.
Export and Share
Create original, landscape, vertical, or square videos with the selected HUD included.

- GPS Status — Live indicator during use.

Recorded telemetry (stored with the session)
- G-Force — Recorded with the session — acceleration, braking, and cornering — and used for session highlights and advanced statistics rather than a live gauge in the current HUD profiles.
