PlugCam
Your vehicle's cameras, backed up and easy to watch.
Your vehicle's cameras on its screen. Every drive and every camera, ready to watch when you're parked, backed up to PlugLog's cloud on its own, and on the web at plugcam.app.
What it does
Like a streaming app, for your own drives
Your latest drive, up top
Open PlugCam and your newest drive is waiting front and center. One tap on Play and you're watching.
Front, Rear, Left, Right
Switch cameras and stay on the same moment. All four views of a scrape in the parking lot, one tap apart.
Keep the clips that matter
Back up the clips that matter: every camera of that moment goes to PlugLog and is kept until you stop keeping it, never deleted to make room.
Backed up on its own
A vehicle's camera drive fills up and starts over. PlugCam copies your clips to PlugLog's cloud on its own, so the moment you need is still there next month.
- ●Automatic: nothing to remember, nothing to plug in
- ●Front and Rear by default; add Left and Right, or back up any camera's clip on demand
- ●Over Wi-Fi, or over the vehicle's data if you allow it
- ●A dropped connection picks up where it stopped, not from the start
Watch when you're parked
Video stops the moment the vehicle moves, as Google requires of every video app in a car, and PlugCam shows an Available when parked screen instead. The backup isn't playback, so it keeps going while you drive.
Your clips are yours
What your cameras recorded is private. PlugCam keeps it in your vehicle and in PlugLog's cloud, under your account, and nowhere else.
- Stored in PlugLog's cloud, under your PlugLog account
- Nothing is shared unless you share a link to a clip
- PlugLog never sells your data or your videos
- Delete a clip, or your whole account, any time. Privacy Policy

FAQ
Common questions about PlugCam
What does PlugCam cost?
PlugCam is free to install. Backing up to the cloud takes PlugCam storage: $39 a year per 50 GB, shared by all your vehicles, up to 1 TB. It's sold on its own, with no PlugLog Pro needed, at plugcam.app/upgrade or pluglog.app/upgrade. New accounts get 50 GB free for 30 days to try it.
What happens when my storage is full?
Clips you back up yourself are kept for good: Kept clips are never deleted to make room. The rest can be overwritten, oldest first, when a new clip needs the space, like your vehicle's own loop recording. Without storage (after the trial, say), what's backed up stays to watch and new clips stop backing up.
How much data does backup use?
About 5 GB for each hour of driving with all four cameras backed up, and about half that for Front and Rear alone. Over Wi-Fi it doesn't touch the vehicle's data plan. Over the vehicle's data only if you turn that on.
Which cameras does it back up?
Front and Rear back up automatically to start. Add Left and Right in Backup, or back up any one clip from its page whenever you want. Tap Back up on a clip and every camera of it backs up and is kept for good.
Where can I watch my clips?
On the vehicle's screen when you're parked, and anywhere on the web: at plugcam.app, signed in with your account, and on pluglog.app's Videos page. Every camera, with your drive's speed and power alongside.
Does it back up my drives too?
Only if you want it to. With the Drives switch on, each drive's route and speed, and an EV's battery power, go to your account, so they show alongside the video. Leave it off and only the clips back up.
What happens while I'm driving?
Video and its sound stop as soon as the vehicle moves, as Google requires of video apps in cars, and PlugCam shows an Available when parked screen. Video plays only while you're parked. Backup keeps going in the background.
How do I sign in?
PlugCam signs in on its own: scan the QR code on the vehicle's screen with your phone, or get an email, and approve it at plugcam.app. It's a PlugLog account, so if the PlugLog car app is already signed in on the same vehicle, PlugCam can use that instead.
Will it work in my vehicle?
PlugCam is for vehicles with Google built-in (Android Automotive), EV or gas, 2017 on, whose cameras record clips PlugCam can read. Pick your vehicle in PlugCam's vehicle step. It's tested on the Chevrolet Silverado EV, with more vehicles coming.
