## Description
SafeCam - SOS Background Screen, Camera, and Voice Recorder
SafeCam is a quick, discreet personal safety recorder that unifies a screen recorder, background video recorder (front and back camera, no preview), and a voice recorder. Start in an instant, capture clear evidence quietly, and keep recording with the screen off (device-dependent). Use SafeCam to document unsafe rides, harassment, accidents, or any moment where trustworthy proof matters.
What SafeCam can record
• Screen recording with system audio when allowed by your device/OS; otherwise microphone audio
• Back camera video: quick background capture with no camera preview
• Front camera video: quick selfie-view recording without preview
• Audio-only: lightweight voice recorder for long sessions
Fast, discreet SOS triggers
• Quick Tile in the notification shade
• Home-screen Shortcut for your preferred mode
• Long-press volume up/down to start/stop
• Shake to start for pocket or one-hand use
• Floating icon (single/double/long touch)
• Tap on notch actions on supported devices
Configure triggers per mode so your muscle memory gets you recording immediately.
Reliability when it counts
• Screen-off & background recording to reduce attention and save battery
• Time-stamped filenames for credibility and quick retrieval
• Auto-save & crash recovery to preserve files if interrupted
• Quality controls — choose resolution, frame rate, and bitrate (device-dependent)
• Orientation lock and front/back camera chooser
• Local-only saves by default; share securely via Android’s share sheet
Designed for safety, privacy, and the rules
SafeCam is a personal safety tool, not a spy app. It respects device policies and does not attempt to hide required system indicators. Recording laws vary by country and state, only record where legal and with consent when required. Do not use SafeCam for harassment, stalking, or any invasive surveillance.
Where SafeCam helps
• Rides and commutes: capture surroundings and route info with screen + camera
• Disputes and incidents: document interactions using front/back video
• Online issues: record on-screen messages and reports with the screen recorder
• Field work and deliveries: time-stamped video notes and audio memos
Why choose SafeCam?
Most apps handle only one job. SafeCam combines screen recorder, background video recorder, and voice recorder with instant SOS triggers, so you waste zero time in emergencies. Pick a mode, press a tile or button, or just shake—and your evidence is recording.
