LyfeLens dash cam pushes live video to your iPhone and doubles as a hotspot

With a series of built-in smart features, sensors and cloud support, on-top of your basic surveillance capabilities, LyfeLens is attempting to be much more than your typical in-car camera solution.

Head below for more details and a video of the system in action:

Affixed to the inside of your windshield, LyfeLens boasts dual-facing HD cameras capable of keeping an eye on both the inside and outside of your vehicle. It is also equipped with a series of motion/sound sensors and GPS allowing it to track unsafe conditions (speed, locations, more) as well as bumps and accidents whether you are in the car or not.

All of this data is connected to the cloud and the included iOS/Android apps, providing users with video/data storage, remote access and viewing, security based notifications for unsafe driving or accidents, vehicle location (for that time when you lose your car in the parking lot) and mileage-based expense data.

Along with a built-in rechargeable battery, mic, speaker, Bluetooth, WiFi and a microSD card slot, LyfeLens will also double as a 4G and WiFi hotspot to keep itself and all of your devices connected while on the road.

While LyfeLens will “provide superior functionality as a dash cam” without a subscription, many of these features will require one including LTE services like “push notifications, WiFi hotspot, automatic cloud storage, live video feeds, and speed and location monitoring.”

The new all-in-one dash cam is set for release in the Fall of this year, with preorders already open on the official site for $199.
