Get started with an Open Dashcam device
One of the primary ways to contribute to the Hivemapper Network is to collect quality imagery as you drive. These contributions help increase coverage and freshness for the map tiles in the decentralized mapping network. To contribute and earn HONEY, you need a compliant Open Dashcam ("ODC") device and a supported vehicle.
- Currently supported devices include the Hivemapper Dashcam or Hivemapper Dashcam S.
- Only vehicles with at least four wheels are stable enough to produce consistently high-quality images.
Below are the Open Dashcams currently available for purchase.
- The Hivemapper Dashcam S ("HDC-S") is available for purchase here. This model provides additional functionality that may be useful for some contributors.
- Hivemapper Inc. has partnerships with resellers around the world to deliver a quick and convenient buying experience. To ensure you are buying from a legitimate reseller, please check this list of authorized resellers.
Additional dashcams will be manufactured by other companies in the future. Please contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in building an ODC-compliant device.
