DGTeens isn't about watching you — it's about helping you. Get a real driving score, coach yourself with video, and compete with friends to become the safest driver in your group.
Not a surveillance tool. A skill-building program — with real video, scores, and friendly competition that makes safe driving genuinely rewarding.
The AI dashcam mounts on the windshield and powers from the car's OBD-II port. No tools. No installer. Most setups done in under 10 minutes.
After every drive, your safety score updates automatically — 0 to 100, based on your real behavior behind the wheel.
Watch video of any flagged moment. You see exactly what happened and why it was flagged — and decide how you'd handle it next time.
Track your score week over week. Invite friends on DGTeens and see who builds the best driving habits this month.
DGTeens gives you your own score, your own video, and your own progress. Nobody's judging — the data helps you understand your own driving so you can make it better, on your own terms.
A 0–100 score calculated after every drive based on real behavior — smooth braking, following distance, avoiding distractions. It's yours. Watch it climb.
When a moment is flagged, you see it first — road-facing and driver-facing. Understand what happened and decide how you'd handle it differently. That's self-coaching, not surveillance.
Week-over-week score trends show your improvement over time. Weekly improvement streaks and score goals give you concrete targets — not vague reminders to "drive safely."
If another driver causes an accident and blames you, your road-facing video clears you. Studies show dashcam footage exonerates drivers in approximately 63% of disputed incidents. That protection is yours — not just your parents'.
📹 Dual-lens AI — records road-facing AND driver-facing simultaneously. You see both views when reviewing any event.
If your friends are on DGTeens, share scores and see who's improving. The best kind of bragging rights.
Most teen programs only talk to parents. DGTeens talks to you. Invite friends who are on DGTeens and turn safe driving into something you actually want to compete at.
Friend leaderboards are opt-in. You choose who to share scores with — it's always your call.
Scores reflect real behavior — smooth braking, good following distance, phone down. No luck involved. Just skill.
Weekly improvement streaks and score goals give you concrete targets — not vague reminders to "drive safely."
Your video is always private. Only you and your parents can view clips. Friend scores are summary only — no footage shared, ever.
When teens own their score and compete with friends, they improve faster and with less friction. DGTeens gives parents full visibility and gives teens real agency — the combination that actually changes behavior.
Conversation starters tied to specific video moments. Scripts for common incidents. What not to say. Monthly coaching guide based on your teen's actual data.
Most programs tell parents what happened. DGTeens tells teens how to improve — and gives them the tools to do it.

Most families install the AI dashcam themselves in under 10 minutes — it's genuinely easy. But if you'd rather have a professional handle it, we connect you with our network of trusted local handypeople.
Mount on windshield, plug into OBD-II port. No tools needed. Step-by-step guide included. Most installs: under 10 minutes.
We connect you with a vetted local handyperson from our installer network. You contract directly with them — we just make the introduction.
Prefer to do it yourself with someone on the line? Our team will walk you through the install step by step via phone or video call.
💡 Important: Professional installation is arranged directly between you and the installer. DGTeens connects you but is not a party to that agreement. Installer fees vary by location.
No tiers. No confusion. Permit through graduation.
💡 Some insurers offer discounts for documented teen safety programs. Ask your agent about the DGTeens Safety Certificate.
Teen drivers are 50% more likely to crash in their first month of solo driving. DGTeens gives you the tools to build good habits from day one — and the score to prove it.
Yes — because it's built around them, not just for parents. Teens get their own score, their own video review, and the option to compete with friends. Many teens check their score after every drive and work to improve it week over week. That investment comes from ownership, not obligation.
Life360, Bouncie, OtoZen, and TrueMotion are primarily parent-facing tools — they monitor and send alerts. None of them give teens a personal score, video for self-review, self-coaching tools, or a friend leaderboard. DGTeens is built around teen improvement, not just parent notification.
Opt-in only — you choose who to share scores with. Both teens need to be active DGTeens members. Shared data is the 0–100 summary score and weekly trend only. Video footage is always private — only the teen and their parents can view clips. No footage is ever shared through the leaderboard.
The DGTeens program is $38/month with no contract. The AI dashcam is a separate hardware purchase. When your teen finishes high school, return the camera and receive 50% of the hardware cost back. Or pass it to another family — they sign up for $38/month and the camera is already paid for.
The learner permit stage. AAA Foundation research found teen drivers are 50% more likely to crash in their first month of solo driving than after a full year of experience. Starting before the license means building good habits before problematic ones can form — and getting a baseline score to track improvement over the full program.
Adding a 16-year-old costs families an average of $5,740 per year in additional premiums — roughly a 90% increase (Bankrate, November 2025). Some insurers offer discounts for teen drivers with documented safety programs. Ask your agent about the DGTeens Safety Certificate and monthly score reports. We can't guarantee a discount, but it's worth asking.
