Rideshare Cabin Camera for Maryland Drivers: Hawk
Hawk by MRVL is a phone dashcam app with optional cabin camera for rideshare drivers in Maryland. The Rideshare Pro tier adds cabin recording, shift mode for multi-trip sessions, and passenger recording notice compliance.
What is Hawk's cabin camera for rideshare?
Hawk is a phone dashcam that turns your iPhone or Android into a court-ready driving recorder. The Rideshare Pro tier unlocks cabin camera functionality so you can record both the road and the interior of your vehicle during rideshare trips. This is particularly useful for Maryland Uber, Lyft, and Bolt drivers who want video evidence of passenger interactions, claims, or disputes. Every clip is locked with SHA-256 integrity hashing, so footage cannot be edited or disputed in court. You mount your phone on the dashboard, start recording, and Hawk handles the rest. There's no subscription needed to start, and no cloud upload required unless you choose iCloud sync on Pro plans.
Rideshare Pro features for Maryland drivers
Rideshare Pro is Hawk's dedicated tier for drivers who work multiple shifts. It costs £8.99 per month or £69.99 per year. The tier includes cabin camera recording, shift mode so you can log multiple trips in one session without restarting the app, and a built-in passenger recording notice feature to comply with Maryland's two-party consent laws. You also get biometric-locked evidence storage, one-tap dispute export for insurance or police, and GPS overlay with speed and timestamp data. Pro clips sync to your own iCloud account, not MRVL's servers, so you retain full privacy and ownership. Optional Siri voice commands let you save clips hands-free while driving.
Maryland rideshare compliance and evidence
Maryland requires two-party consent for recording audio, which means passengers must be informed if they're being recorded. Hawk's Rideshare Pro includes a built-in passenger recording notice feature to help you comply. All footage is evidence-grade: every clip carries an SHA-256 integrity hash that proves it hasn't been tampered with. If a passenger files a dispute with your rideshare platform, you can export your evidence as a ZIP file containing the video, GPS trace, timestamp, and integrity manifest. You can submit this directly to Uber, Lyft, Bolt, or to Maryland police if needed. The evidence locker is biometric-locked, so only you can access it.
How Hawk differs from dash-only apps
Many dashcam apps record only the road. Hawk is built for rideshare, which is why Rideshare Pro adds cabin camera, shift mode for back-to-back trips, and passenger notice compliance. You don't need to buy a separate hardware dashcam or subscribe to a fleet management service. Hawk runs on your existing phone, mounts on your dashboard with any standard phone holder, and works offline. All the heavy lifting is on your device. Continuous loop recording means old clips are automatically deleted to save storage, but you can manually lock any clip to the evidence locker to preserve it permanently. As of June 2026, Hawk supports both iOS and Android.
Free tier vs Rideshare Pro
The free tier gives you 10 clips per month with 7-day retention. This is fine if you drive occasionally, but rideshare drivers typically need more. Rideshare Pro at £8.99/mo removes clip limits, adds cabin camera, shift mode, and passenger notice, and lets you lock clips indefinitely in the evidence locker. There's also a Local Pro tier at £3.99/mo if you only need road dashcam without cabin recording, or a one-time lifetime purchase at £49.99 for Local Pro features. All paid tiers include biometric-locked evidence storage and one-tap dispute export.
