What you actually get when you put a CarStream unit in your car.

See your car live, from anywhere

RPM, speed, fuel level, coolant temp, throttle position, intake, MAF — streamed live to your phone or browser over 4G. If the car has cellular signal, you see what it’s doing right now, with sub-second latency.

The dashboard hides what your car doesn’t expose. Older car with a basic ECU shows fewer gauges; a newer one with 30+ supported PIDs shows everything. No setup, no configuration — the system asks your engine what it can report and only renders those.

Every drive, logged automatically

Trips start and end on their own. A 60-second gap in motion ends one trip and starts the next — no app to open, no button to press.

Each trip gets a full route map you can scroll and zoom, with distance, duration, average speed (idle excluded), top speed, and a timestamp timeline. Refuels are detected automatically and pinned on the timeline. Tap any trip to open it in fullscreen, or send it to Google Maps with one click.

Speed-camera warnings

The unit ships with the Ukrainian speed-camera database baked in. As you approach a camera, it picks the right voice cue for the road’s speed limit — 50, 70, 90, or 110 — and warns you a kilometre out. Once you’re clear, you get a short “passed” cue so you know it logged correctly.

A 60-second cooldown per camera means you won’t be spammed if you loop around. The database updates with the firmware — no separate subscription, no map app to install.

Find your car, anytime

Live GPS location, heading, current speed, and satellite lock. Open the dashboard and you see exactly where the car is on the map.

Useful when someone else is driving, when you forgot which floor of the parking deck, or when the car shouldn’t be moving and is. Cold-start GPS is around 10–15 seconds thanks to a warm-cache the unit keeps between drives — most other systems take 3+ minutes from a dead start.

Read engine trouble codes yourself

When the check-engine light comes on, the actual diagnostic code shows up on the dashboard within seconds. Look it up before the mechanic tells you what’s wrong (and before they charge you for the diagnostic scan).

Both stored codes and pending codes are surfaced, with timestamps so you know when each one first appeared.

Fuel and refuels tracked

Every refuel event is detected from the fuel-level jump and pinned to the trip timeline. See average consumption per drive, per week, per month, alongside your actual driving — so you can tell whether that hard week of city traffic actually cost you what you thought.

Tank size is configurable per car so the litre/percent math is accurate.

Custom alerts on what matters to you

Set rules per car and get a push notification the moment one trips. Three kinds today:

Speed alert

Pick a speed in km/h. The moment the car crosses it you get a push and the event is logged with the location, the actual speed, and your threshold.

The rule “arms” only when the car drops back under the threshold — so a single highway trip at 130 fires once, not every second you’re above 130. Each rule has a configurable cooldown so even repeated short trips don’t spam you.

Good for: teen drivers, fleet drivers, knowing if anyone touches your car while it’s parked, or just keeping yourself honest.

Geofence alert

Pin a location on the map, set a radius in metres, and choose which transitions you want notified about — entering the zone, leaving the zone, or both.

The unit tracks whether the car is currently inside or outside that circle on every GPS frame. The instant it crosses the boundary you get a push with the exact location and a violation log entry for history.

Good for: knowing when the car gets home, when it leaves work, when it crosses a city limit you care about, or when a teen takes the car outside the area they’re allowed to drive in.

Camera-speed alert

A specialised rule that only fires when you actually trip a speed camera. Set how much over the camera’s limit is acceptable (default: +20 km/h) and you get a push only when the car’s speed at the closest-approach frame exceeds limit + offset.

Unlike the generic speed-camera audio cue (which warns you ahead of every camera regardless), this one logs only the times you would have actually been caught — with the camera ID, your speed at capture, the limit, the road class, and the GPS point. That history sits next to your trip log so you can review which cameras you’ve blown past at what speed.

Good for: knowing whether you actually got flashed, and how badly.

Every alert is also a record

All three rule types log every trigger to a violations table you can scroll back through. So even when you miss the push, the event is there with the speed, the position, the timestamp, and a map pin.

Share the car with family

Give your spouse, your kid, or your driver their own login that sees the same car. Multi-car and multi-user, with per-car sharing — share one car without exposing the rest of your garage.

Mobile app on iOS & Android

Same dashboard, same trips, same gauges as the web. Pair the unit over Bluetooth right from the phone — scan, connect, and configure, all without touching the car or a laptop.

Email-verified accounts, paginated trip history with infinite scroll, and SVG arc gauges that match the cockpit style of the web dashboard.

Look back at anything

Every metric for every drive is saved indefinitely. Pull up last Tuesday’s commute and see exactly what the engine was doing minute by minute. Long ranges auto-downsample so a year of data is still readable without crashing your browser.

Five chart groups — engine, motion, fuel, electrical, environment — each filtered to only show series your car actually supports.

Your data stays yours

End-to-end encrypted between car and server. Public share links for individual trips and violations are opt-in only — nothing is public by default.
