Nobody presses record before the crash.
So it keeps the last 45 seconds, always. Double tap to save them — or let it save by itself after a crash (beta).Beta
23 seconds, all real.
Shot with the glasses. No actor, no CGI, nobody identifiable.
How it works
01It watches
45 s in memory, never on disk.
02Double tap. Or not.
The last 45 s go to Photos. After a crash, it saves by itself (beta).
03Show it
To the police, the insurer, the other party. Not to social media.
Good moments count too: double-tap to keep the last 45 s of a ride, without saying a word.
What it actually saves.
A real clip from the app, at the default 360p, 24 fps. Low on purpose: it's the most reliable setting over Bluetooth today, and it keeps plates unreadable on this page. 504p and 720p (experimental) are in the settings.
It keeps. It doesn't watch.
No recording. A ride without incident leaves no trace.
The white LED is our ally. Never hidden, and shown in the app.
The clip stays on your phone. Video goes straight from the glasses to your phone and stays there. No cloud, no account, no server of ours. Public code.
A clip is evidence, not content.
The clip shows what the camera saw, like any dashcam. Dashhound itself never identifies anyone: no face, voice or plate recognition. Ever.
Honest about limits. See right below.
Work in progress.
Honest about what doesn't work yet. Updated as we fix it.
- Waiting on platformAny app using the glasses microphone (a WhatsApp call, a voice message) pauses the camera. Dashhound keeps what it filmed and resumes about 4 s after.
- Waiting on platformBluetooth music and GPS voice are cut while the camera streams (platform issue #256).
- Waiting on platformVoice launch — the platform doesn't expose the permission yet.
- Hardware limitThe glasses last roughly 35–45 minutes of dashcam: about one ride.
- Developer previewDeveloper Mode required. Not on the App Store.
- PlannediPhone only for now.

Julian Salaun is a service & product designer and AI consultant. He co-founded Serendyme, an AI product studio, runs Façonner.ai, where he helps companies put AI to work, and teaches UX and service design at Gobelins in Paris. Trained at Central Saint Martins, 13 years in London, now between Paris and the South of France. He built Dashhound in the days after the glasses SDK 1.0 shipped, documenting every blocker along the way — because the fastest way to make a platform buildable for designers is to build on it.
