Rideshare Driver Passenger Recording Notice App
Hawk by MRVL is a dashcam app for rideshare drivers that includes a passenger recording notice feature in its Rideshare Pro tier, letting you record cabin footage with legal disclosure built in.
What is a passenger recording notice app?
A passenger recording notice app is a tool that helps rideshare drivers comply with two-party consent laws by displaying a clear notice to passengers that recording is in progress. Hawk is a dashcam app that turns your iPhone or Android into a court-ready dashcam with continuous recording, SHA-256 integrity hashes on every clip, and evidence locker with biometric lock. The Rideshare Pro tier adds cabin camera functionality and shift mode for multi-trip sessions, allowing drivers to record inside their vehicle with passenger awareness built into the interface. This is essential for rideshare drivers working with platforms like Uber, Lyft, or Bolt who operate in states requiring consent-based recording.
Rideshare Pro: cabin camera and shift mode
Rideshare Pro (£8.99 per month or £69.99 per year as of June 2026) adds two features designed specifically for rideshare drivers. Cabin camera lets you record inside your vehicle alongside external dashcam footage, capturing interactions with passengers. Shift mode groups multiple trips into a single session, so you don't create separate recording files for each ride, making evidence management simpler across an entire shift. Both features work with Hawk's core evidence infrastructure: every clip gets a SHA-256 integrity hash, GPS overlay with speed and timestamp, and one-tap export as a ZIP file containing video, manifest, and hashes ready for insurance claims, police reports, or small-claims court.
Court-ready evidence for dispute resolution
Rideshare drivers often face passenger disputes, false accusations, or insurance claims that require video evidence. Hawk's Evidence Locker stores your recordings with biometric lock (fail-closed security), ensuring clips can't be deleted or altered after an incident. When you need to submit evidence, one-tap dispute export creates a ZIP file containing your video, SHA-256 manifest proving file integrity, GPS data, and timestamps. iOS users can submit reports directly to police via NDSP integration. This evidence chain is admissible in small-claims court and accepted by most insurance companies, giving you protection beyond your word.
No subscription required to start recording
Hawk's free tier lets you record up to 10 clips per month with 7-day retention on your device, with no subscription needed. This is enough to test whether the app works for your phone mount and workflow. Local Pro (£3.99 per month, £39.99 per year, or £49.99 lifetime) unlocks continuous loop recording, full GPS overlay, Siri Shortcuts, and voice-save commands. Rideshare Pro (£8.99 per month or £69.99 per year) adds cabin camera, shift mode, and iCloud sync for locked clips. Continuous recording means you're capturing footage the entire time your phone is running, and loop mode automatically overwrites old clips when storage fills up, so you don't have to manually manage files.
GPS overlay and trip replay for evidence
Every recording includes GPS speed, timestamp, and location data written to your video file. This is especially valuable for rideshare drivers contesting speeding accusations, proving you were at a specific location during a dispute, or corroborating your account of an incident. Trip map replay reconstructs the route you took during a recording using MapKit polyline data, giving insurance adjusters and police a visual record of your journey. GDPR and privacy controls let you decide whether to include GPS data in exported evidence, so you can share video without revealing your home address or routine.
Works on your existing phone
Hawk turns your iPhone or Android into a dashcam without requiring a dedicated hardware device. Mount your phone on your dashboard or windscreen using a standard phone holder, and Hawk runs in the background recording video with optical-flow stabilisation to smooth out bumps and vibration. The app works on both platforms and syncs Pro clips to your own iCloud account (not MRVL servers), keeping your evidence private and under your control. Daily commuters and rideshare drivers use Hawk because it combines professional-grade recording and evidence integrity with the convenience of a phone-based solution.

Frequently asked questions
Does Hawk include a passenger recording notice for rideshare drivers?
Yes. Rideshare Pro tier includes cabin camera mode which is designed with passenger awareness in mind for rideshare drivers. You should always comply with local two-party consent laws by informing passengers they are being recorded, as Hawk is a recording tool and not a legal notice system.
Can I use Hawk on iOS and Android?
Yes. Hawk works on both iPhone and Android. Features are broadly the same across platforms, though NDSP police-report submission is available on iOS.
Is Hawk evidence admissible in court?
Yes. Hawk's SHA-256 integrity hashes on every clip, GPS overlay, and one-tap ZIP export with manifest are designed to be court-ready. The evidence chain demonstrates file integrity, making it admissible in small-claims court and accepted by insurance companies.
Do I need to pay for a subscription to start recording with Hawk?
No. The free tier lets you record up to 10 clips per month with 7-day retention. Local Pro and Rideshare Pro tiers unlock continuous recording, cabin camera, and additional features.
What is shift mode in Rideshare Pro?
Shift mode groups multiple rideshare trips into a single recording session, so each trip doesn't create a separate file. This makes it easier to manage evidence across an entire shift of driving.
Does Hawk upload my footage to MRVL servers?
No. Hawk stores recordings locally on your phone. Pro tier clips can sync to your own iCloud account for backup, keeping your evidence private and under your control.
