With one tap of the home screen widget, the app activates both front and rear cameras simultaneously, securely locking the screen to prevent interruption while displaying a persistent recording notification.
Key Features:
Triple-Redundant Storage
Recordings are automatically saved to three locations: locally on the device, uploaded in real-time to a designated Google Drive folder, and backed up to secure cloud servers. This ensures footage is preserved even if the device is confiscated or damaged.
Instant Emergency Notifications
When recording begins, designated emergency contacts receive automatic notifications via email and SMS (where available), including GPS coordinates, timestamp, and device information. Keep trusted friends, family, or legal representatives informed in real time.
Screen Lock Protection
Once activated, the app locks the device screen while maintaining a full-screen recording notification. This prevents unauthorized access or attempts to stop the recording, ensuring continuous documentation until the user unlocks the device with secure authentication.
Dual Camera Recording
Capture both perspectives simultaneously with front and rear camera recording. Document what's happening in front of the device and the surrounding environment at the same time.
Google Drive Integration
Seamlessly connect to Google Drive during setup. Recordings automatically upload to a folder that can be shared with trusted contacts, providing instant access to footage for legal representatives or family members.
GPS Location Tracking
Premium and Professional tiers include GPS coordinate capture, adding critical location data to recordings and notifications for complete documentation of incidents.
Privacy and Legal Compliance:
Police Encounter is a recording tool. Users are solely responsible for complying with federal, state, and local recording laws, including consent requirements where applicable. The app does not provide legal advice. Recording laws vary by jurisdiction, and users should consult legal counsel regarding their right to record in specific situations.
