How it works

A clear path from field capture to review.

OliveCast connects the device in the field to the people responsible for reviewing what happened.

01

Capture in the field

Turn an Android phone your team already carries into a focused recording tool.

02

Sync when connected

Move footage to the cloud over Wi-Fi, with transfer behavior your team can understand.

03

Review with context

Give authorized people one place to find, review, and share the right clip.

Platform capabilities

The essentials for responsible field video.

Capture, transfer, and access are connected without treating labels as performance promises.

Field capture

Keep recording in the background

Capture continues when the app is not on screen or the phone is locked, subject to Android device behavior.

Reduce accidental stops

A long-press stop control helps keep an active recording from being ended by a stray tap.

Footage transfer

Move footage over Wi-Fi

Automatic synchronization is designed for Wi-Fi-connected workflows, so teams can plan transfer around their environment.

Share when it matters

Send a clip directly from the device when an incident needs to reach someone quickly.

Organizational control

Control who can review

Role-based access keeps footage available to the people responsible for it.

Fit the way teams work

Use familiar Android devices in a workflow that can grow from a field team to a wider organization.

The App in the Field

Every Screen, Built for the Field.

OliveCast began as a body-worn camera app that turned any Android phone into reliable recording equipment. That field-tested capture experience is now the foundation of the OliveCast platform.

View Finder

See exactly what your body cam is capturing in real time. Stopping a recording requires a long press, so footage can’t be cut off by accident.

Background Recording

For a security tool, capturing everything matters. OliveCast keeps recording even when the app isn’t on screen or the phone is locked.

Every clip is tagged with a timestamp automatically. With Mobile Device Management enabled, footage in the built-in player can be locked from deletion or editing.

Quick Start

When incidents happen, reaching for an on-screen button can take too long. Auto-start works best paired with a phone’s programmable hardware keys.

Where It Started

Built on OliveCast's Body Cam Roots.

Before it was a platform, OliveCast was a body-worn camera app for police, security teams, and personal use — turning any Android phone into an always-on recording device. No dedicated hardware, no per-unit cost, just a smartphone your team already carries for comms and guard tours.

Officers and guards could send footage out the moment it mattered — over email or WhatsApp — or sync it automatically over Wi-Fi to apps like Google Drive or Dropbox, without the recurring cost of a dedicated body-cam vendor's backup plan. This platform carries that same philosophy forward: capture on the device people already have, and back it with the visibility, access control, and audit trail that growing field organizations need.
