Rideshare Cabin Camera for Virginia Drivers
Hawk by MRVL is a smartphone dashcam and cabin camera app built for rideshare drivers in Virginia. It records both road and cabin footage with evidence-grade integrity hashes, passenger recording notice, and one-tap export for insurance or legal disputes.
What Is a Rideshare Cabin Camera?
A rideshare cabin camera records what happens inside your vehicle while you drive passengers. In Virginia, rideshare drivers operating for Uber, Lyft, or Bolt face liability claims, aggressive passengers, and theft disputes. A cabin camera provides a record of passenger behaviour, damage claims, and disagreements over fares or conduct. Hawk's Rideshare Pro tier adds cabin camera alongside road recording, so you capture both angles in a single app. As of 2026, rideshare drivers increasingly use dual-view dashcams to protect themselves legally.
Hawk Rideshare Pro: Cabin Camera & Shift Mode
Hawk's Rideshare Pro tier (£8.99/month or £69.99/year) adds cabin camera recording and shift mode, designed for drivers who work multiple trips per day. Shift mode groups all recordings from a single shift into one session, so you can review a full day's work in one playback. Both road and cabin footage are recorded with SHA-256 integrity hashes, meaning every clip is cryptographically signed. You can lock them with biometric authentication, sync to your own iCloud, and export them as a court-ready ZIP file with a manifest for use in insurance claims or small-claims court.
Virginia Recording Laws & Passenger Notice
Virginia is a two-party consent state for audio recording, meaning you must disclose to passengers that cabin recording is happening. Hawk's Rideshare Pro includes a built-in passenger recording notice you display when riders enter the vehicle. This notice satisfies Virginia Code section 19.2-62 requirements for consent disclosure. Check with your rideshare platform (Uber, Lyft, Bolt) for their own dashcam policies; many now permit or require cabin recording for driver protection.
Evidence Export for Disputes & Insurance Claims
When a dispute arises, Hawk exports a single ZIP file containing all clips from a specific trip, plus a SHA-256 manifest that proves the footage hasn't been altered. You send this file directly to your insurance company, local police, or Virginia traffic court. The integrity hash is written to every frame, so no editing tool can change the evidence without breaking the signature. This makes Hawk recordings admissible in small-claims and traffic proceedings.
No Subscription Required to Start
Hawk's free tier records up to 10 clips per month with 7-day retention, so you can test cabin and road recording before upgrading. If you want unlimited recording, local Pro is £3.99/month or £39.99/year. Rideshare Pro (£8.99/month or £69.99/year) unlocks cabin camera, shift mode, and passenger recording notice specifically for multi-trip drivers. No hardware to buy, no fleet contracts, no mandatory cloud upload.
Works on iPhone & Android with Dash Mount
Hawk runs on any iPhone or Android phone mounted on your dashboard. You don't need a dedicated dashcam device. Continuous loop recording keeps only recent footage; older clips are automatically deleted to free space. GPS overlay shows your speed and timestamp on playback. Trip map replay traces the route of any dispute clip on a map, adding context for insurance or police reports.

Frequently asked questions
Is Hawk cabin camera legal in Virginia?
Yes, but you must display a passenger recording notice due to Virginia's two-party consent law. Hawk's Rideshare Pro includes a built-in disclosure you show riders. Check your rideshare platform's dashcam policy as well.
Can I use Hawk cabin footage in court?
Yes. Every clip is stamped with a SHA-256 integrity hash that proves it hasn't been edited. You export a ZIP file with a manifest and send it to the court, insurance company, or police as evidence.
What's the difference between Hawk Pro and Rideshare Pro?
Local Pro (£3.99/mo) includes unlimited road recording and dispute export. Rideshare Pro (£8.99/mo) adds cabin camera, shift mode for multi-trip sessions, and passenger recording notice.
