Roader Time Machine Camera
Roader Time Machine Camera
The Roader Time Machine Camera captures moments that occurred before you touch the record button. It is storing footage in its buffer memory for 10 seconds and flushes it constantly. Once you touch the camera, it creates a clip that stars 10 seconds before you touched it, till 10 seconds after. The 20 seconds clip is then automatically uploaded to your phone. Easy as that!
"I wish I had a video of that!"Most cameras give you only two options: record everything and spend hours editing the raw footage; or worse, miss that special moment because you can’t grab the camera fast enough. Not anymore.
Roader is storing video in a short time memory and does not record anything until you press the camera. When you press it, a video clip is saved that starts 10 seconds back in time. Using the 10-second video that is stored in the short time memory and adding 10 seconds after you pressed the camera.
You can even broadcast your experiences Live using Youtube Live or Facebook Live and keep your phone in your pocket.
How Roader works
When Roader is powered on, it starts buffering video in its RAM memory. The image is stored for 10 seconds and it refreshes constantly. Only when you press the camera it saves a file out of its RAM memory (10 seconds) to the internal flash memory and it adds 10 seconds after the press.
Another recording of the same moment is stored on the camera in HD (1280x960) and ready to upload to your phone via WiFi when you choose to do so.

Working with the App
After a clip is created and sent over to your phone, you can easily select the moment you would like to share. Review it and when you want, simply use the editor to trim or enhance it. When ready, just press share and select the Social Channel from the screen. Ready and GO!
Pre-order your Roader now and become one of the first Roader enthusiasts. Enjoy being an early bird and get a Roader cam before anyone else.

An HD (1280x960p) version of your clip is always stored in the camera's memory. When you want to download the HD clip, simply choose the appropriate SD version and press HD.
