Dashcam App with Cloud Backup for UK Drivers
Hawk is a UK dashcam app that records your journeys and automatically backs up footage to the cloud, protecting your evidence in case of accidents or disputes. All recordings are encrypted and accessible from any device.
How Hawk Cloud Backup Works
Hawk records video continuously whilst you drive, capturing high-quality footage of the road ahead. Once you reach wifi or your configured mobile network, footage automatically uploads to encrypted cloud storage. You can access, download and share clips from any device without needing to retrieve your phone. The system only keeps the footage you need - shorter emergency clips are prioritised, and older recordings are managed automatically. This means you always have proof of incidents without managing storage manually.
Why Cloud Backup Matters for UK Drivers
If your phone is lost, stolen or damaged, cloud backup ensures your evidence survives. UK insurance claims and disputes often hinge on dashcam footage - having it safely stored in the cloud means you're never one accident away from losing critical proof. Automatic uploads also remove the risk of accidentally deleting important clips. For rideshare drivers, couriers and fleet managers, cloud backup provides accountability and protection against false claims. Emergency footage is flagged automatically so you can find it instantly.
Security and Privacy
All Hawk recordings are encrypted during upload and storage, meaning only you can access your footage. Cloud storage uses UK-compliant servers with industry-standard encryption. You control who sees your clips - share privately with insurance companies, solicitors or police when needed. Hawk does not sell or monitor your data. The app respects your privacy whilst keeping your evidence safe and recoverable.
Features Built for UK Roads
Hawk is optimised for British driving conditions, recording in HD even in low light and heavy rain. The app runs silently in the background and works with any UK mobile network. You can set custom backup triggers - for instance, collision detection will prioritise emergency uploads. Trip history shows where and when you drove, helpful for insurance claims. Footage can be shared as timestamped links, and the app integrates with law enforcement reporting if required.
Getting Started with Hawk
