Record Motorcycle Video with GPS Speed and Telemetry
VelocityCam turns a securely mounted Android phone into a motorcycle telemetry camera. GPS-derived speed is captured with the video, and exports render the HUD directly into the file. A pillion passenger who isn't operating the bike can also use the Pro Performance HUD to record GPS-based speed and distance. Never interact with the phone while riding — mount it, start recording before you set off, and review afterwards. VelocityCam is not a speedometer, navigation system, or safety device.
Ride-first recording
The Minimal HUD keeps the frame clean and is free; Pro's premium HUD themes and Performance HUD profile add more options for any rider, mounted or riding pillion. Vertical and landscape exports make it easy to publish the clip you want.
- GPS speed while riding

Commutes, rides, and canyons
Riders record commutes for reference, canyon runs for review, and clips for social. The same session drives all three: the HUD stays synchronized, and Pro adds Performance Analytics and route export for follow-up.
Rider-friendly workflow
- 1
Mount securely and start before riding
Use a vibration-tolerant motorcycle mount. Start recording (tap Record or long-press for a three-second delay) before setting off — do not interact with the phone while riding.

Ride with a GPS speed HUD
The Minimal HUD shows speed; Pro's Performance HUD adds Max Speed, Best 10s, Best 30s, and more, all derived from GPS.

Frequently asked questions
Can VelocityCam record motorcycle speed?
Yes. GPS speed is captured continuously while the phone has a GPS lock, and the reading appears in the HUD in MPH or KM/H.
Can telemetry be included in the exported video?
Yes. Exports composite the selected HUD directly into the new MP4 file so the numbers stay with the clip.
Does the app support landscape recording?
Yes. Full-sensor orientation is supported, including landscape and portrait. Screen and orientation are locked during recording.
Can I create vertical social videos?
Yes. Vertical 9:16 exports are available, and the Android share sheet hands the finished file to compatible apps such as TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Does it work without an account?
Yes. There is no account and no sign-in. The Android app is entirely local.
Can I compare two rides on the same road?
Yes, with Pro Run Comparison. It aligns compatible runs and shows splits and time deltas — GPS-estimated, not certified timing.
