        I will consult a lawyer soon but need to get a rough idea from you people first. Strictly looking for legal advice.

        I think we will all agree that Dashcam for cars have solved a lot of problem for us. We can record any attack or false framing and provide evidence to police.

        I want you bring the similar level security to women in India. Obviously this is going to be a unisex product but making it considering women’s safety.

        The product is the following –

        – It’s going to be a small head device. It will have camera both in front and back side. If anyone coming to attack or Eve tease, there will be proper evidence for it.

        – Also there will be a watch. Which will track and update the location of the user. In time of distress it will send a SOS call to a family member or directly to police (need to think about it).

        – user can delete the data after reaching home safely. There will be passcode and OTP system to delete the data.

        – we are also thinking of syncing these datas with remove google drive for safety purpose, in case the attacker force the victim to delete the data there or if they break the device, it will still immediately sync the last video and location with this remote drive.

        ###My actual question:

        These devices will constantly record other people around the user. Is it legal?

        But this will surely increase more safety. We still have to figure out how to implement the tech in it. We are working on it. But need to understand the basic legality of such product first.

          Legally valid, but damn the privacy concerns because of it. You already know people are going to use it for nasty things.

            Read DPDP act and the consequences once it becomes a law.
