Development of a Background Continuous Recording Safety and Evidence App

Users often face situations where they need to record undisputable evidence of incidents without actively engaging with the device during emergencies. Existing solutions rely on manual activation, which can lead to hesitancy or delay, and lack secure, unalterable storage options to prevent evidence tampering or deletion. Additionally, users require seamless, background recording capabilities that do not interfere with their routine device usage while ensuring data security and legal admissibility.

A technology startup focused on personal safety and digital evidence solutions, aiming to empower individuals with reliable, background recording capabilities for personal security and legal use.

• Implement a mobile application that continuously records high-definition videos in the background during user activity.
• Integrate GPS-based location tracking with video recordings for contextual evidence.
• Securely store recorded videos with enforced retention policies to prevent deletion before a specified period, enhancing evidence integrity.
• Enable automatic cloud synchronization of videos with secure encryption to ensure data availability and privacy.
• Design a user-friendly interface aligning with modern material design principles to facilitate ease of use.
• Support sharing of videos via multiple channels including email and social media platforms.

• Continuous HD video recording in background mode during all device operations
• GPS geolocation tagging of video evidence
• Secure, lockable storage for videos with a retention period (e.g., 10 days) to prevent unauthorized deletion
• Automatic synchronization of videos to a cloud storage system with encryption for privacy and security
• Video encryption to prevent unauthorized access
• User interface designed with Material Design standards for intuitive usability
• Real-time access to emergency contact numbers based on current location
• Options for sharing videos through email, social media, and messaging platforms
• Support for subscription-based features including automatic cloud sync and enhanced security protocols

• Cloud storage provider APIs for video synchronization and management
• Emergency number APIs based on geolocation
• Social media and messaging platform APIs for sharing functionalities
• Encryption and security protocols for data integrity and privacy

• Ability to record high-definition videos continuously in background without significant battery drain
• System should support thousands of concurrent users with scalable storage
• Data encryption both at rest and in transit to meet privacy standards
• Compliance with data storage retention policies
• Minimal impact on device performance and usability

By developing a background continuous recording safety and evidence app, the project aims to significantly enhance personal safety and legal evidence collection. Expected outcomes include increased user confidence in incident reporting, improved legal admissibility of evidence, and a scalable solution that can support thousands of users. The implementation of secure retention and encryption protocols will ensure data integrity and privacy, fostering trust and encouraging broader adoption of personal safety technology.
