Looking for a TrackAddict Alternative?

TrackAddict and VelocityCam are both Android applications in the broad telemetry-video space, but they are built around different priorities. TrackAddict is a motorsports-oriented app centered on timing, session analysis, and vehicle data. VelocityCam is centered on quickly capturing telemetry-enhanced video, reviewing the session afterwards, exporting the footage with the HUD baked in, and sharing it. Neither is a substitute for the other, and this page exists so you can decide which one actually matches the job you have in mind. VelocityCam is a separate product, is not TrackAddict, and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by HP Tuners.

What VelocityCam captures

VelocityCam records video and GPS telemetry together and keeps them aligned, so the readouts you see in playback match what actually happened during the session.

  • GPS-derived speed in MPH or KM/H
  • Free Minimal HUD, plus Pro Telemetry, Performance, and Boat Racing HUDs
  • Performance Analytics: GPS/GNSS-estimated speed and distance tests, deceleration, and sustained-speed tests, with attempt history and run comparison (Pro)
  • Session summary and analytics generated from the recorded telemetry
  • Exports with the HUD composited into a new video file

Different tools for different goals

TrackAddict tends to make more sense when your priority is serious motorsports work: circuit and sector timing, predictive timing, run and lap comparison, driving-line analysis, vehicle data through an OBD-II adapter (which VelocityCam does not read), external GPS or sensor hardware, and RaceRender workflows. VelocityCam tends to make more sense when your priority is telemetry-enhanced video you can produce quickly: GPS speed visible with the footage, GPS/GNSS-estimated performance testing, activity-oriented HUDs, straightforward session review with analytics, exports that already carry the overlay, and easy Android sharing — across road driving, off-road and 4x4, ATV and UTV, boating, motorcycles, bicycles, and similar activities, with no dependence on a defined race circuit.

TrackAddict and VelocityCam, side by side

Two independent products from two different developers. TrackAddict capabilities below are described conservatively at the concept level, based on what HP Tuners publicly documents; they are not a feature-by-feature audit, and no parity claim is made in either direction. Check the TrackAddict listing for its current, exact capabilities.

  • Primary focus

    TrackAddict

    Motorsports timing, telemetry, and analysis with video — road course, autocross, rally, drift, 4x4, and drag racing.

    VelocityCam

    Telemetry-enhanced video capture, review, export, and sharing across multiple activity types.

  • Android support

    TrackAddict

    Android application.

    VelocityCam

    Android-native application, distributed through Google Play. Both products run on Android, so this is not a difference.

  • GPS speed

    TrackAddict

    Uses GPS for speed, logging, and timing features.

    VelocityCam

    GPS-derived speed shown live in the HUD, stored with the recording, and reproduced in playback and export.

  • G-force

    TrackAddict

    Logs G-force alongside GPS and vehicle data, per its own documentation.

    VelocityCam

    The selectable HUDs and Performance Analytics use GPS-derived speed, distance, and time data; no current selectable HUD exposes motion-sensor gauges.

  • Video and telemetry

    TrackAddict

    Records video and pairs it with logged data, including data overlays and RaceRender workflows.

    VelocityCam

    Records video and telemetry together in one pass and keeps them synchronized through playback and export.

  • Lap and circuit timing

    TrackAddict

    A core strength: GPS lap timing, predictive timing, sector timing, run and lap comparison, and driving-line analysis.

    VelocityCam

    VelocityCam is not built around circuit lap timing and does not provide lap, sector, or predictive timing.

  • OBD-II vehicle data

    TrackAddict

    Documented support for OBD-II logging and external OBD-II adapters.

    VelocityCam

    No OBD-II support. VelocityCam records with the phone's camera and uses phone GPS or supported external GNSS for positioning.

  • External GPS and sensors

    TrackAddict

    Documented support for external GPS receivers and external OBD-II devices.

    VelocityCam

    Phone GPS or a supported RaceBox external GNSS receiver. External GNSS is optional for normal recording and Performance Analytics; RC use relies on it. No OBD-II support.

  • Session analysis

    TrackAddict

    Motorsports-grade analysis: statistics, run comparison, and driving-line review.

    VelocityCam

    Performance Analytics summarising the recorded GPS telemetry: speed and distance tests, attempt history with median and spread, and run comparison with splits and time deltas (Pro). This is session review, not circuit analysis, and the two are not equivalent.

  • Route visualization

    TrackAddict

    Track and driving-line oriented visualization tied to its analysis tools.

    VelocityCam

    Offline, GPS-only Route Trace (Ghost Route) drawn from recorded GPS points, available in playback and export with Pro. It is a path trace, not street or satellite navigation mapping, and is not drawn on the live recording screen.

  • Video export

    TrackAddict

    Video plus data workflows, including export toward RaceRender for overlay rendering.

    VelocityCam

    Exports directly from the app in Original, vertical 9:16, square 1:1, and landscape 16:9 with the HUD composited in. No desktop rendering step, and the original recording is never modified.

  • Sharing

    TrackAddict

    Sharing follows its own export and rendering workflow.

    VelocityCam

    Hands the finished file to the Android share sheet plus Quick Share for compatible nearby devices. VelocityCam does not integrate directly with any social platform's SDK.

  • Best fit

    TrackAddict

    Drivers whose priority is timing, circuit analysis, vehicle data, and motorsports-first tooling.

    VelocityCam

    People whose priority is recording telemetry video, reviewing it, exporting it with the overlay, and sharing it quickly.

TrackAddict is a product of HP Tuners and is named here only in plain text to describe the search intent this page answers. VelocityCam uses no TrackAddict branding, artwork, screenshots, or marketing copy, and the two products are unrelated.

More than track days

VelocityCam was not designed around a race circuit, so the same capture-first recording workflow travels with you. Position or mount the phone securely and the app captures the session the same way every time.

  • Road driving and scenic routes
  • Off-road trails and Jeep / 4x4 runs
  • ATV and UTV rides
  • Boating and other on-water sessions
  • Motorcycles and bicycles
  • Snowmobiles and similar seasonal activities
  • Track days, where telemetry video matters more to you than timing

A shorter path from recording to sharing

VelocityCam takes a different approach to the same raw material. Rather than treating video as one output of an analysis pipeline, it treats the finished, overlaid clip as the goal: record, review the session, export with the HUD already composited, and share it from the phone. If your priority is producing watchable telemetry footage soon after the session ends, that shorter loop is the main reason to look at VelocityCam. If your priority is analysis depth, a motorsports-first tool will serve you better.

How a VelocityCam session works

  1. 1

    Position the phone

    Position or mount the phone securely, choose the free Minimal HUD or a Pro HUD, and start recording once GPS is ready.

  2. 2

    Record video and telemetry together

    One tap records video and synchronized GPS telemetry in a single pass. Never operate the phone while driving; set it up before you move.

  3. 3

    Review, export, share

    Open the session in the Library for synchronized playback and Performance Analytics, then export with the HUD baked in and hand it to any app through the Android share sheet.

Free — record, review, and export

  • Video with a synchronized GPS speed HUD and recorded telemetry
  • Minimal HUD profile (free). Telemetry, Performance, and Boat Racing HUD profiles require Pro
  • Synchronized playback and session summary
  • Searchable Library with filters and sorting
  • Original, vertical, square, and landscape exports with the HUD composited in
  • Android share sheet plus Quick Share for nearby devices

Pro — one-time lifetime unlock

  • Telemetry, Performance, and Boat Racing HUD profiles plus premium HUD themes (Classic, Adventure Amber, Marine Blue, Minimal White, Cyber Green)
  • Offline, GPS-only Route Trace (Mini Inset and Full-Screen Ghost)
  • Performance Analytics: GPS/GNSS-estimated speed, distance, deceleration, and sustained-speed tests, custom tests, attempt history, run comparison, and performance history
  • CSV telemetry export
  • GPX and KML route export
  • Watermark control, session notes, and activity types

Local-first recording and storage

VelocityCam keeps recordings and telemetry in app-private storage on the phone. There is no VelocityCam account, no automatic cloud upload of your video, no advertising or analytics SDKs, and no background-location permission. Exports are created only when you ask for them, and sharing happens only after you choose a destination. This describes VelocityCam only — for any other app's data practices, read that app's own privacy policy.

Device requirements

  • Android 10 or newer
  • Compatible rear camera (front-camera switching before recording, where supported)
  • GPS hardware
  • Free storage for recording and export

Frequently asked questions

Is there an alternative to TrackAddict for Android?

VelocityCam is another Android telemetry-video application, built around a different focus: capturing video with synchronized GPS speed and telemetry, reviewing the session, exporting with the overlay, and sharing. It is a separate, unaffiliated product rather than an official alternative.

Is VelocityCam a replacement for TrackAddict?

Not in a feature-for-feature sense. If lap and sector timing, circuit analysis, OBD-II vehicle data, or RaceRender workflows are what you need, TrackAddict is likely the better fit. If your priority is telemetry-enhanced video you can capture, export, and share quickly, VelocityCam may suit you better.

Does VelocityCam have lap timing like TrackAddict?

No. VelocityCam does not provide lap, sector, or predictive timing and is not organised around race circuits. It records GPS telemetry and produces Performance Analytics from it after the fact.

Does VelocityCam support OBD-II?

No. VelocityCam reads no OBD-II or CAN bus vehicle data. GPS speed and Performance Analytics use phone GPS or a supported RaceBox external GNSS receiver. External GNSS is optional for normal recording; RC use relies on it.

Can VelocityCam record GPS speed and performance data with video?

Yes. GPS speed and telemetry are recorded alongside the video and stay aligned during playback and export. Pro adds Performance Analytics such as speed and distance tests and run comparison.

Can VelocityCam be used outside a race track?

Yes, and that is the point of it. Road driving, off-road and 4x4, ATV and UTV, boating, motorcycles, bicycles, and snowmobiles all use the same recording workflow.

Can VelocityCam export telemetry data?

Video export with the HUD composited in is free. CSV telemetry export plus GPX and KML route export are part of the one-time Pro unlock through Google Play.

Does VelocityCam require an account?

No. There is no sign-up or login in the Android app, and nothing is uploaded automatically. Google Play handles the Pro purchase and its restoration.
