Compatible dash cams: Nexar Classic is the operational app of Nexar's WiFi dash cams: Nexar Beam, Nexar Pro, and other compatible models. For nexarOne and beam2 LTE dash cams, look for the Nexar Connect app. Nexar is not just any typical dash cam app. When paired with a Nexar dash cam and an active Nexar subscription, it transforms into your car's safety hub. Nexar automatically records in sync with your driving sessions. Videos are streamed to the app, and significant events, such as hard braking and accidents, are automatically detected using an advanced AI algorithm. These events are immediately saved to your phone and backed up to your private, unlimited cloud storage, allowing you to access evidence whenever needed. Joining Nexar means becoming part of a community of drivers who prioritize safety. The Nexar app is constantly being enhanced, and we are dedicated to developing a service that not only improves your driving experience but also has the potential to save lives. \--- FEATURES Records as you drive When paired to a compatible camera, Nexar starts recording automatically, whenever you start driving, and streams video to the app. The app works in the background, so you can use other apps while driving. Detects dangerous incidents Nexar uses AI algorithms and sensors to automatically capture dangerous incidents like hard brakes, sharp turns, and harsh accelerations. Protects your car even when parked Nexar senses impact and starts recording, even when your car is parked. Watch parking incidents when your phone connects to your dash cam. Provides instant evidence In case of an accident, the footage is automatically displayed on the Nexar app, and can also be accessed directly from the dash cam’s SD card. Backs up to the cloud All driving incidents and clips that you are creating are automatically uploaded to your private unlimited Nexar cloud account. View & share your videos After every drive, you'll be able to see its summary, including the route and any incident clips that were recorded. Share these clips and other data with friends, family, or your insurance provider, directly through the app. \--- 5 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW Nexar saves what matters most. Your drives are saved to your phone based on available space. Dangerous incidents are automatically uploaded to your Nexar cloud, where they are never erased. Nexar lets you control how much storage the app uses. The dash cam connects to the app using its own WiFi signal. You'll still be able to use your data plan. Nexar won't drain your data plan. The app uses data only after an incident was detected, to back up important evidence to your Nexar cloud account. You own your data. We never share any individual's data unless they authorize it. \--- 24/7 SUPPORT Need help? We're always here to assist. Reach us by email at support@getnexar.com or by in-app chat. \--- KEEP YOUR PHONE CHARGED Any app that uses GPS can deplete your phone battery faster, and Nexar is no different. That's why we recommend that you keep your phone charged while using Nexar - a charged phone is a happy phone! \--- Nexar subscription Full access to all features of the Nexar app is enabled with an active Nexar subscription.
