AyniCam

Dashcam footage usually matters for a few seconds around a near miss or a bump, not for hours of ordinary driving. AyniCam is built around that. While the camera view is open, the app holds a rolling buffer, and saving an incident clip keeps the recent footage on your iPhone. The free version saves up to 20 seconds at 720p, video only, with an AYNI watermark. Pro raises that to 30 seconds at 1080p, drops the watermark and can record microphone audio if you allow it.

The site is plain that actual clip length depends on what's in the buffer, and that recording needs the camera workflow running in the foreground. It isn't a continuous archive of the trip.

Detection runs on the phone's Neural Engine and labels supported objects such as vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and traffic lights over the live image. Other views reuse those detections: a simplified 2.5D scene, a 3D map with destination search and weather, and a Parking View with proximity beeps. Version 2.0.1 was the App Store release on October 24, 2026. The site marks its demonstration loops as simulator captures rather than road tests, so the published material doesn't show how detection performs on real roads.

Emergency Mode has to be switched on in Settings before you drive. If the app detects a possible severe crash, it starts a countdown you can cancel, tries to preserve the available footage and location, then opens the emergency call prompt and prepares a message to contacts you picked. iOS still asks you to confirm before it calls or sends anything. The site calls it an optional aid, not guaranteed crash detection or automatic dispatch, and that's the right way to treat it.

According to the privacy policy, the camera feed isn't sent to AYNI servers, and recordings stay on the phone unless you export or share them. No account is needed. Some features do go online. Map tiles come from OpenFreeMap, place search and directions from Apple MapKit, and weather from MET Norway, which receives your coordinates truncated to four decimal places along with your IP address. The App Store privacy label lists location and other data that may be linked to you.
