App Description
BlackBox Digital Witness automatically sends your audio, video, and GPS information to our secure server where it becomes a permanent record of threatening situations. Video cannot be deleted from the device, preventing an attacker from forcing you to delete an incident against your will.
Features:
• One-button streaming of audio, video, and GPS – Our simplified camera interface is designed to be easy to use in emergency situations. Press record, and your video and GPS location are automatically uploaded to our server.
• In-app 911 dialing, with auto-notification to your emergency contacts – If you need to contact 911, this app does more than just dial, it sends your video and location to your emergency contacts by text or email, automatically.
• Review and Share Videos – If the recording is not a 911 emergency but you still wish to send it to someone like law enforcement or school officials, you can easily send the links by text or email.
• Videos cannot be deleted within the app – This is to protect you from being forced to delete the video during an incident. Remember, this is like having a silent witness that won’t back out.
