A spare smartphone mounted inside a parked car with its flashlight blinking

Free feature · No subscription required

Turn your spare phone into a car security light.

BlackShisa - Parking Dashcam App can turn your phone’s flashlight into an adjustable blinking security light for your parked car, without using the camera.

Available now for Android. iPhone version coming soon.

A useful second life

One old phone. One visible signal that your car is not being ignored.

Place a spare phone securely inside the car, point its rear light where it can be seen, and start the Security Light. The feature runs independently of the paid monitoring tools in BlackShisa - Parking Dashcam App.

Set it in minutes

Choose the signal. Protect the battery. Start blinking.

The controls are deliberately simple, so a phone you already own can become a visible car security light without extra hardware or wiring.

1

Open the free Security Light.

Use it directly from the subscription screen or the app settings. A paid plan is not required.

2

Tune the blink pattern.

Adjust how long the light stays on, how long it stays off, and—on supported devices—its brightness.

3

Set safeguards and run it.

Choose a battery stop level and maximum duration, optionally ignore the battery limit while charging, then dim the screen.

Use it thoughtfully

A visible deterrent, not a guarantee.

The Security Light is designed to help discourage unwanted attention. Its visibility depends on the phone, placement, glass, ambient light, and surroundings. Secure the phone so it cannot interfere with driving, avoid directing the light at drivers, and follow local rules.
