Description:

Unleash your dash cam’s full potential! Your dashcam captures more than just video. Dashcam Viewer finds, decodes, and visualizes the navigation data hidden within the video itself. Play your videos and watch as your vehicle’s position, speed, distance, and other data animate on graphs, widgets, and maps. Tag points of interest, export clips and data, combine multiple videos into one, and much more.

Dashcam Viewer is recommended by many dash cam manufacturers and vendors. It is compatible with over 120 camera models and is available for both macOS and Windows.


What Dashcam Viewer can do for you:

• Watch your dashcam videos as your vehicle’s position, speed, distance, and other data is displayed on graphs, widgets, and maps.
• “Geotag” points of interest along your route. Export these to a file. Or import them back in.
• Export your GPS tracks to common file formats such as comma-separated value (CSV), Google Earth KML, and GPS-exchange (GPX) for further data analysis.
• Export portions of videos to new clips.
• Combine multiple videos into a single video.
• Use audio event detection to find key moments in your videos.
• And much more!


Features

The Main Window

The Main Window controls movie selection, playback, and data export.


Dashboard Display

The Dashboard Display shows the current position, speed, direction, and time. For dashcams that support enhanced GPS data collection, Dashcam Viewer displays the elevation, number of satellites in view, and signal confidence:

1. Speed, distance, and time display. The speed units can be toggled between mph and km/h by clicking the mph button.
2. Three-way display showing current compass heading, calendar, and weather at the time of the drive.
3. Latitude and longitude. For dashcams the altitude, GPS signal confidence (HDOP), and number of satellites in view is also displayed.


See Your Tracks in the Map Window

Maps Displays: The Map Window animates to show the current position of the vehicle against a map background.
The route line is color-coded based on the vehicle’s speed.

You can geotag points of interest with custom markers. The marker locations can be exported (or imported)

You can click on the route to jump to that point in the movie sequence.

You can toggle between street map and satellite imagery map backgrounds.

Choose either Google or Mapquest maps to get the views you like. PRO users can also select OpenStreetMaps.


Multiple Plot View

Data Plots: The Plot Views show the time history of vehicle speed, distance, and compass direction. For dashcams that record additional GPS data, the G-sensor (shock), vehicle altitude, number of GPS satellites in view, and horizontal dilution of precision are also displayed. The HDOP, or Horizontal Dilution of Precision, is a measure of GPS accuracy at the receiver. Lower numbers are better and indicate higher confidence in the positional fix. Higher values indicate a poor dispersion of satellites in view and/or a low number of satellites in view.


Create Geotags along your route

Geotags: Create markers anywhere along your route. The markers show up on the Map and in a List view.
The default title is the street address of the marker location. The time, date, speed, latitude, longitude, movie name, and movie time are also displayed.

Double-clicking a geotag in the Geotags List will instantly jump to that point in the route. The geotags can be exported to a text file, and imported back in.


Display Video Info

Movies List: all loaded movies are displayed in the Movies List. Movies that are uninteresting can be toggled off so they no longer appear in the movie sequence and their data is no longer displayed in the Map or Graphs.
Users can double-click a Movie in the List to immediately jump to the beginning of the video. Meta information about each movie, such as file size, maximum vehicle speed, date/time, is displayed in the list item.


Find Key Audio Events

Audio Event Detection: Important events in the video series are often characterized by sudden changes in volume. For example, the sound of a collision or the sound of a horn can be heard against the normal driving noise background. Dashcam Viewer’s Audio Event Detection can assist in locating key sound events in a series of videos.


Export Video Clips and Image Sequences

Export Video: Use this feature to export a portion of a video to a separate movie file or series of images.
When exporting to movie file you have the option to change the playback rate and remove audio track.

When exporting to an image sequence you control the image frequency (up to 4 Hz) and output format (JPG, PNG, or BMP). PRO users can also export all frames of the video.


Export Your GPS Tracks

Export GPS Data: Dashcam Viewer allows you to export your GPS track data in a number of formats, including comma-separated value (CSV), GPX, and Google Earth KML (shown on the left).
