How to Protect Your Car from Hacking

Modern cars are connected — and vulnerable. Thieves today don’t need to break a window; they hack wireless keys and connected locks to access your car in seconds. RECAM helps you stay one step ahead.

We all have an old iPhone lying around — or can easily find a refurbished one compatible with RECAM. Place it discreetly in your garage or near the driveway where your car is parked, and it instantly becomes a vigilant camera equipped with encrypted streaming and smart AI alerts.

How RECAM Works as a Car Hacking Shield

  • 📱 Repurpose any iPhone: Set up a spare device as your CCTV camera and connect it securely with another iPhone as the viewer.
  • 🧠 AI-powered detection: RECAM detects when someone approaches your vehicle, identifying motion and suspicious patterns with precision.
  • 🔔 Instant notifications: You’re alerted instantly with a push notification and a video proof of what’s happening.
  • 🔒 Encrypted, peer-to-peer streaming: No cloud servers, no data leaks — everything stays private between your devices.

Once you receive the alert, you can open the encrypted live stream to verify the situation in real time and, if needed, alert local authorities or take immediate action to scare off intruders.

Real-World Scenarios Where RECAM Excels

1. In your garage: Detects unexpected movements or the sound of a door opening, helping you intervene before damage is done.

2. In your driveway: Get notified if someone lingers near your car at night — RECAM’s AI can detect footsteps, knocks, or even the faint click of a key fob hacker device.

3. On vacation: Keep peace of mind when you’re away. If someone tries to approach your garage or carport, RECAM instantly notifies you with video evidence.

Why Choose RECAM Over Traditional Car Cameras

  • 🚫 No subscription traps: RECAM works without any expensive cloud service.
  • 🔐 True privacy: Peer-to-peer encrypted SRT streaming ensures no third party can see your footage.
  • 💡 AI intelligence: Detects motion, sound, and human or vehicle presence directly on your device.
  • Quick setup: No tools or installation — just two iPhones and RECAM.

Unlike traditional car cameras that record passively, RECAM actively alerts you before theft happens. It’s not just surveillance — it’s prevention.
