DailyRoads Voyager for Android

DailyRoads Voyager is a free application for Android-powered mobile phones, allowing for continuous video recording from vehicles. Essentially, the application acts as a video black box, recording everything, but only keeping what the user is really interested in. The user is usually the driver of a car, who can now quickly and safely capture video sequences of important road events.

Typically, on an average journey of a few hours, only a handful of video files (5-10 minutes) are worth keeping. Additionally, photos can also be automatically captured at specific intervals.

Video and photo files are timestamped, geotagged, and even uploaded according to the user's pre-set options. The accumulated files can be easily managed, played back, and grouped in selections.


Features:

Continuously records videos of a certain (user-selectable) length, and saves the video files on the SD card.

A certain storage space (with user-selectable size) is defined on the SD card. When this space is beginning to fill up, the oldest video files are automatically deleted, to make room for new files.

When an important event occurs on the road (as considered by the user), a button press is enough to allow the application to place that recorded video sequence into a safe zone. This zone is protected from automatic cleanup, and recording can continue, basically allowing the user to accumulate video files of interesting events during the whole journey.

Photos can also be automatically captured at user-selectable intervals. Because of their smaller size (compared to videos), photos are not automatically deleted.

Photos/videos can be captured even while the application is in the background. This means you can receive and place calls, receive SMS, use your GPS navigation or radar detection software, and rest assured that everything what happens in front of your vehicle, is still being recorded.

The accumulated files can be easily managed through the application. It is possible to view photos and play videos (individually, or in a sequence), upload, delete, view on map, bookmark, view details, and select the grouping option which is better suitable for what you want to see.

Selected (or all) photo/video files can be automatically uploaded to various servers. Currently only upload to DailyRoads.com is possible, but uploads to YouTube, Picasa, Flickr and others will be available soon. You will be also able to define your own server details, to automatically upload the files to.

The date/time and geographic coordinates are embedded into the file names, making this info available for further processing outside the application. If these files are uploaded to photo/video sharing sites, the geographic coordinates can be easily extracted, and thus properly marked on a map.
