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 sensor data 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
- Stabilized G-force while the phone is mounted
- Handheld HUD: GPS-based performance metrics for recording without a fixed mount (Pro)
- GPS-based performance metrics through the Handheld HUD when there is no fixed mount
- Session Details and Session 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, recorded G-force telemetry, 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
TrackAddictMotorsports timing, telemetry, and analysis with video — road course, autocross, rally, drift, 4x4, and drag racing.
VelocityCamTelemetry-enhanced video capture, review, export, and sharing across multiple activity types.
Android support
TrackAddictAndroid application.
VelocityCamAndroid-native application, distributed through Google Play. Both products run on Android, so this is not a difference.
GPS speed
TrackAddictUses GPS for speed, logging, and timing features.
VelocityCamGPS-derived speed shown live in the HUD, stored with the recording, and reproduced in playback and export.
G-force
TrackAddictLogs G-force alongside GPS and vehicle data.
VelocityCamStabilized G-force telemetry recorded from the phone's own motion sensors while mounted. The Handheld HUD uses GPS performance metrics instead.
Video and telemetry
TrackAddictRecords video and pairs it with logged data, including data overlays and RaceRender workflows.
VelocityCamRecords video and telemetry together in one pass and keeps them synchronized through playback and export.
Lap and circuit timing
TrackAddictA core strength: GPS lap timing, predictive timing, sector timing, run and lap comparison, and driving-line analysis.
VelocityCamVelocityCam is not built around circuit lap timing and does not provide lap, sector, or predictive timing.
OBD-II vehicle data
TrackAddictDocumented support for OBD-II logging and external OBD-II adapters.
VelocityCamNo OBD-II support and no external sensor hardware of any kind. VelocityCam uses only the phone's own camera, GPS, and motion sensors.
External GPS and sensors
TrackAddictDocumented support for external GPS receivers and external OBD-II devices.
VelocityCamNo OBD-II or vehicle-bus hardware, and no external sensors of any kind. Core recording, including G-force telemetry, works with the phone alone.
Session analysis
TrackAddictMotorsports-grade analysis: statistics, run comparison, and driving-line review.
VelocityCamSession Details plus Session Analytics summarising the recorded telemetry. This is session review, not circuit analysis, and the two are not equivalent.
Route visualization
TrackAddictTrack and driving-line oriented visualization tied to its analysis tools.
VelocityCamOffline 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
TrackAddictVideo plus data workflows, including export toward RaceRender for overlay rendering.
VelocityCamExports 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
TrackAddictSharing follows its own export and rendering workflow.
VelocityCamHands the finished file to the Android share sheet for any compatible app, and Quick Share for compatible nearby devices. VelocityCam does not integrate directly with any social platform's SDK.
Best fit
TrackAddictDrivers whose priority is timing, circuit analysis, vehicle data, and motorsports-first tooling.
VelocityCamPeople 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 recording workflow travels with you. Mount the phone securely, or record handheld when a mount is not practical, and the app captures the session the same way.
- 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
Mount or go handheld
For speed and phone-derived G-force telemetry, mount the phone securely, or choose the Handheld HUD for GPS performance metrics without a mount. Recording starts once GPS is locked.
- 2
Record video and telemetry together
One tap records both streams in a single pass, with automatic G-force centering at record start. Never operate the phone while driving; set it up before you move.
- 3
Review, export, share
Open the session in the Library for synchronized playback, Session Details, and 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). Handheld HUD profile requires Pro
- Synchronized playback and Session Details
- 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
- Offline Route Trace (Mini Inset and Full-Screen Ghost)
- Handheld HUD profile plus premium HUD themes (Marine Blue, Minimal White, Cyber Green)
- Advanced session statistics
- 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 recorded G-force 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 session telemetry and produces analytics from it after the fact.
Does VelocityCam support OBD-II?
No. VelocityCam reads no vehicle bus data and works with no OBD-II adapter. Telemetry comes entirely from the phone's own GPS and motion sensors, with no external hardware supported.
Can VelocityCam record GPS speed and G-force with video?
Yes. Speed and G-force telemetry are recorded alongside the video and stay aligned during playback and export while the phone is mounted. Recording handheld uses GPS-based performance metrics instead.
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.
Install VelocityCam and start recording
VelocityCam runs on any Android 10+ phone with a rear camera and GPS. Record a session, review it with synchronized telemetry, then export and share it.
