Dashcam App for Delivery Drivers: No Hardware, Just Your Phone
Hawk is a dashcam app that turns your iPhone or Android into evidence-grade recording equipment without buying hardware. Delivery drivers use Hawk to record trips continuously, lock footage with biometric security, and export dispute-ready evidence in seconds.
Why Delivery Drivers Choose a Phone Dashcam
Delivery drivers face unique risks: disputed pickups, accident claims, customer allegations, and road incidents that need proof. A dedicated dashcam unit adds cost and complexity. Hawk solves this by using hardware you already carry. Your phone mounts on the dashboard, starts recording when you do, and creates court-ready evidence files with SHA-256 integrity hashes on every clip. No subscription required to start. As of 2026, drivers choosing app-based recording over hardware cite cost savings, simplicity, and the fact their phone already has GPS, cellular data, and a camera they trust.
How Hawk Delivers Evidence-Grade Recording
Hawk is built for drivers who need proof that holds up in disputes. Every clip is stamped with GPS coordinates, speed data, and a timestamp overlay, then cryptographically hashed so you can prove no frame was altered. The Evidence Locker locks your most important footage behind face or fingerprint unlock, preventing accidental deletion. When you need to file a claim or report an incident, one tap exports a ZIP file containing your video, GPS map replay, and a manifest signed with SHA-256 hashes. You can send this directly to your insurance company, police, or a small-claims court. Rideshare Pro tier adds a cabin camera for recording passenger interactions and shift mode so you can log multiple delivery rounds in one session.
Free to Start, Paid Plans for More Control
Hawk's free tier records up to 10 clips per month with 7-day retention, so you can test it on your route at zero cost. Local Pro is £3.99 per month or £39.99 per year and unlocks unlimited recording, permanent clip storage, and the evidence export ZIP feature. Rideshare Pro is £8.99 per month or £69.99 per year and adds cabin camera, shift mode for multi-trip sessions, and voice-save shortcuts so you can tag important moments hands-free. All paid plans sync your locked clips to your own iCloud, not MRVL servers, so your evidence stays private.
Recording That Fits Your Delivery Schedule
Delivery routes vary: some drivers do a single long shift, others make multiple short trips throughout the day. Hawk's loop recording runs continuously when your phone is mounted and the app is active, using optical-flow video stabilisation to smooth out road bumps and turns. The shift mode in Rideshare Pro lets you pause and resume without losing the thread of your day, tagging each trip separately so you can review exactly which delivery had an incident. GPS data overlays your speed and timestamp so there's no ambiguity about when or where something happened.
One-Tap Evidence Export for Disputes
When a delivery goes wrong, you don't have time to figure out video formats and metadata. Hawk exports evidence as a single ZIP file containing the video clip, a replay map showing your exact route, and a manifest file with SHA-256 hashes that cryptographically prove the footage hasn't been tampered with. Open the ZIP on any computer, attach it to an email, and send it to your insurance adjuster or police report contact. The manifest acts as a technical certificate of authenticity, which is increasingly accepted in small-claims court and by major insurers as proof of integrity.
Privacy and Local Control
Hawk does not auto-upload everything to the cloud or a fleet-management platform. Free clips stay on your device. Pro clips sync to your own iCloud account, under your control. GPS overlay is optional and respects GDPR; you can turn off speed and location tracking if you prefer a simple video record without metadata. Biometric lock on the Evidence Locker means only your face or fingerprint can access sensitive footage, and the lock is fail-closed, so if authentication fails, the app denies access rather than defaulting to open.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to buy a dashcam device to use Hawk?
No. Hawk runs on your existing iPhone or Android and turns it into a dashcam. Simply mount your phone on the dashboard, open the app, and press record. No hardware purchase or subscription required to get started.
Can I use Hawk evidence in an insurance claim or court?
Yes. Every clip is cryptographically hashed with SHA-256, and Hawk exports a ZIP file with the video, GPS map, and a signed manifest that proves the footage hasn't been altered. This format is increasingly accepted by insurers and small-claims courts as evidence-grade proof.
How much does Hawk cost for delivery drivers?
Free tier includes 10 clips per month with 7-day retention. Local Pro is £3.99/month or £39.99/year for unlimited recording and evidence export. Rideshare Pro adds cabin camera and shift mode for £8.99/month or £69.99/year.
Does Hawk upload my video to the cloud automatically?
No. Free clips stay on your device. Pro clips sync only to your own iCloud account, which you control. Hawk does not upload to MRVL servers or any fleet-management platform.
Can I record multiple delivery trips in one session?
Yes. Rideshare Pro includes shift mode, which lets you pause and resume recording throughout your day so each trip is tagged and logged separately, making it easy to find the right footage if an incident occurs.
Does Hawk record GPS speed and location?
Yes, by default. Hawk overlays speed and timestamp on every clip and creates a replay map of your route. You can disable GPS metadata in your GDPR profile settings if you prefer a video-only record.
