Dashcam video is AI-redacted before it ever surfaces, a home's exterior history stays owner-only, and you moderate everything on your map.

Two ways to patrol

Drive it, or help from your phone.

Pick the commitment that fits you. A driver runs the whole patrol as their own thing; a volunteer lends an extra set of eyes. Either way, you're looking out for the street you live on.

Owner-operator

Driver

Patrol your neighbourhood by vehicle with a provided hazard-aware AI dashcam. You own the route, set your own price, and run your community map as your own small business — keeping a generous share of every subscription plus 100% of tips. Drive on a schedule, log what you see with one tap, and dashcam clips (AI-redacted) surface on your map.

  • You define the routes and an expected schedule range
  • You set your price and keep a generous share + 100% of tips
  • You moderate the whole map

Best if you can commit to a regular schedule. One or more drivers can serve the same area.

Lower commitment

Volunteer contributor

Help your street without running a full route. Contribute observations straight from your own phone — no dashcam needed. A local driver moderates every submission and decides what actually posts to the map. Think of it as being an extra set of eyes for your block.

  • Contribute from your phone — no equipment to install
  • A driver in your area curates and moderates every post
  • Drivers can allow or block volunteers on their map

Best if you want to help your street without running a full route.

How it works

Your patrol, in four steps.

This is the driver's loop — the rhythm of running your own neighbourhood patrol.

  1. Define your coverage & schedule range

    Pick the routes you'll cover and an expected schedule range — say, twice daily, dawn and dusk. The actual route varies day to day; homeowners know the range, not a fixed track.

  2. Drive & annotate

    Run your route and log what you see with one tap — a loose dog, a speeder, dry brush, a parcel left at a door. The provided dashcam auto-captures as you pass, and every frame is AI-redacted.

  3. It lands on your community map

    Subscribers get your read of the street every pass, with redacted clips attached. You moderate everything that appears — including volunteer submissions — so the map stays trustworthy.

  4. Build your subscriber base

    Set your price and keep a generous share plus 100% of tips. Special requests — an evening pass, a specific street — often turn a neighbour into a recurring Home View subscriber.

How you earn

A few evening passes can become a real monthly income.

You're the owner-operator. You decide what your patrol is worth to your street, and the earning grows as the neighbourhood signs on.

Subscriptions

Neighbours subscribe to your patrol, and you keep a generous share of every subscription. Final rates are set in your patroller agreement.

100% of tips

Subscribers tip for special trips — an evening pass, the back alley, a specific street. Every dollar of it goes straight to you.

Special requests → Home View

A tip-funded special trip often turns that neighbour into a Home View subscriber — recurring revenue you helped create.

You set the price

Charge what your patrol is worth to your street. It's your business — you own the pricing.

Earnings framing is illustrative — there are no guaranteed amounts. Final rates are confirmed in your patroller agreement.

Time-of-day & special requests

The little asks are where the loyalty — and the revenue — grow.

Subscribers can set a time-of-day preference and tip for special trips. These little asks are gold: they deepen loyalty, and they convert into Home View subscribers and extra income for you.

🌅 "Prefer the dawn pass, please" 🌆 "Can you do my street on the evening drive?" 🔦 "Can you check the back alley?" 🐕 "Extra pass — new puppy keeps escaping!"

Your own community page

A custom DriveByView-hosted neighbourhood page where you publish your daily routes — so homeowners in your area get a daily view of their home for better observability, and an easy place to subscribe.

You're in control — and it's built to be trusted

You run the map. The system keeps it honest.

A patrol only works if the whole street can trust it — subscribers, neighbours, and non-subscribers alike. So the rules are the same for everyone:

Common questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

What's the difference between a driver and a volunteer?
A driver runs a full vehicle patrol with a provided AI dashcam and owns the map — the route, the price, and the moderation. A volunteer contributor submits observations from their own phone; a local driver moderates those submissions and decides what posts. Drivers earn from subscriptions and tips; volunteers are lending an extra set of eyes.
What can I earn?
As a driver, you set your own price, keep a generous share of every subscription, and keep 100% of tips. We don't publish guaranteed numbers — a patrol's earnings depend on your area, your cadence, and how many neighbours subscribe. Final rates are confirmed in your patroller agreement.
Do I need special equipment?
Drivers get a provided hazard-aware AI dashcam plus the patrol app — we supply and maintain the camera. Volunteer contributors need nothing but their phone.
Is the video private?
Yes. Dashcam video is AI-redacted — plates and faces blurred — before anything surfaces, including on your own map. A home's exterior history is visible only to that address's verified owner, never public or browsable. And you moderate everything that appears on your map.
Do I control what gets posted?
Completely. You moderate all observations, including volunteer submissions, and you can allow or block volunteers from contributing to your map. Nothing posts that you didn't approve.

Be a hero to your street — and earn.
