An owner-controlled event record that builds on the cameras and sensors already in the car.
Footage helps. A trusted record settles it.
Carkenny is building a time-stamped record of your vehicle's speed, location and cabin events that you control and can retrieve by the minute.

The gap
When a traffic stop, a collision or a steering failure happens, the data that explains it is often not recorded, not time-aligned, or hard to retrieve. Owners are left with a screen recording or their word against someone else's.
Cameras are now arriving in mainstream cars. What they record is only as useful as the record around it: when, how fast, and who decides who sees it.
How it works
Record, retrieve, alert. Try each one on an example drive. See how Carkenny connects to the car.
Record
Sensors log vehicle status with a time field on every entry: speed, location, braking, and cabin events from camera and audio.
Retrieve
Pull exactly the window you need by time range. Speed can be read from the vehicle bus and cross-checked against a second source.
Alert
Set your own conditions, such as speed or a geofence, and get a notification with live status on your phone.
Record: drag to any moment
Five minutes of an example drive. Pick a posted limit, drag the slider, or press play.

Retrieve: try a time range
Choose a window of the example drive. The record returns only that slice.

Carkenny
You decide what is recorded, how long it is kept, and who can see it.
Where a trusted record matters
Pick a moment. Each example shows what the record would capture and how the owner stays in control.
or select any event on the timeline
All scenarios are illustrations of what a record could capture, not recordings of real events. Whether any record is accepted as evidence is decided by the court or the insurer involved.

Automobile status recorder. Filed June 2021, priority August 2020, granted 2025.
- What the claims cover: time-stamped vehicle statuses retrievable by time range, passenger positions from camera data and actions from audio, correlating a malfunction with abnormal driver hand behavior at the wheel, and owner-set notifications with a live status stream to a phone.
- What the specification describes: time-stamped speed from the vehicle bus cross-checked against the speedometer image, owner-set speed and geofence alerts, QR-code access for shared vehicles, and use of stored data as evidence.
