Record videos in the background while using other apps. Dashcam & security cam.
Record videos seamlessly in the background while you use other apps, take calls, or lock your screen. Background Camera Recorder turns your Android phone into a reliable dashcam, security camera, or discreet recorder with just one tap.
Whether you need a hands-free dashcam for your daily commute, a home security monitor, or simply want to record without keeping the camera app open, this app has you covered.
KEY FEATURES
Background Recording
Start recording and switch to any other app. The camera keeps capturing video reliably using a foreground service with a persistent notification, so you always know when recording is active.
Front & Back Camera
Choose between rear or front-facing camera. Set your preferred default camera in settings so it's ready every time you open the app.
Multiple Resolutions
Record in 480p, 720p, or 1080p Full HD. Pick the resolution that best balances quality and storage for your needs.
Pause & Resume
Need a break? Pause your recording and resume when ready without creating multiple files.
Smart Auto-Stop
Never worry about running out of battery or storage mid-recording. Set automatic stop triggers based on:
- Recording duration (30 min, 1 hr, 2 hr, 4 hr)
- Storage usage (500 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 5 GB)
- Battery level (5%, 10%, 15%, 20%)
Scheduled Recording
Automate your recordings by setting daily start and stop times. Perfect for overnight security monitoring or routine dashcam use. Choose camera and resolution per schedule.
Built-in Gallery
Browse all your recordings with video thumbnails. Play videos instantly with the built-in player. Organize recordings by folder, select multiple files, share to any app, or delete in bulk.
Auto-Cleanup
Keep your storage under control. Automatically delete recordings older than 7, 30, or 90 days, or set a maximum storage limit of 1 GB, 5 GB, or 10 GB. Run cleanup manually anytime from settings.
