Nexar Beam GPS Dash Cam - 1 Year Nexar App Subscription Included - Unlimited Cloud Storage, Drive Recordings, Parking Mode, Night Vision, All Inside the Nexar App - WiFi HD Front Dash Cam (64 GB SD)

Great dash cam. Simple, no frills. Perfect for an 89 year old !! I got it to sync with my phone so I can review my trips. I love it !!

I purchased this as a gift for my fiance, and he cannot stop raving about it. I saw an ad about this camera on Facebook, and decided to take the plunge. Someone recently hit my fiance's car, and having a dash cam offers a bit more peace of mind in case something like that happens. He was able to get the camera set up quickly, and link it to his phone without issues. The video quality is amazing, day or night, and he's able to record long periods of video without needing to clear out the camera memory. The camera will also overwrite old footage if it runs out of storage, without needing to be manually cleared. He is absolutely obsessed with this, and is so happy with this camera so far. Hoping to get one for myself when it finally comes back in stock! Update, July 2022: I ended up buying myself a dash cam, and it paid itself off earlier this year by catching a hit and run driver! My car was parked in a parking lot and hit, and the person drove off. There was very obvious damage to my door and it ended up being an expensive fix. My dash cam turned on and caught the license plate, car color, and car type clearly during the night. We were able to find the driver and they were held responsible for the damages they did to my car. I also bought one for my dad, who is very excited to learn how to use his. This little dash cam is great, and I am so happy we have them for our vehicles!

First, this camera works seamlessly with my iPhone. There is a setting where it AUTOMATICALLY starts recording when the vehicle begins moving, I do not have to turn it on or start anything. 2nd, it does NOT have to be on my screen for it to record what is happening, it kept working in the background with no problems with any of the other apps I used on my phone including Waze for directions, audiobooks, Spotify, etc. I could open the Nexar app anytime and have the screen show the view/recordings as they were happening, but I didn't feel like I needed to. EXPERIENCE: Used it on our 21 hour drive to Florida. In stop and go traffic we had a hard breaking incident and a notification came up that it felt the hard breaking event and it was automatically saving the clip (it obviously turned out to be nothing), but it was great that that it was automatic and I wouldn't have to worry if something bad would happen because the clip would automatically be saved. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is it comes with a dual plug to go into the charging port in my car. Very thoughtful of Nexar, right? That way the camera always stays plugged in and there is another port for charging a phone. HOWEVER, for some reason every time someone tried to plug another charger into the 2nd outlet port, it would blow the fuse on my car. It took me a while to figure out the problem the first time. (Camera setup was like 5 minutes and everything worked great, then I plugged my phone charging cord in and was going for a drive then nothing worked. Like WTH???). By process of elimination figured it out (had a spare fuse) and all was good (and the fuse was only for the cig lighter/charging port so nothing else was affected.) Until hubs decided to charge his phone in the spare port and same thing happened again. No spare fuse, so had to wait to go buy a new one. I bought a couple, which was good cause child then plugged in phone for charging and there went fuse again. So now there is duct tape over the spare charging port and we had to get a longer charging cord to use the back seat charger (which is a minor inconvenience). Unfortunately, only 1 phone can be charged at a time then (we have not tried to see if dual charger in the back would work for 2 phones at once without blowing the fuse), but that is literally my only criticism of the camera. And I do not know if this is a problem with my car (20 amp fuse is standard for these ports) so somehow the camera and phone together overloaded the fuse, but not sure if it is the camera's fault or charger or my car.) Otherwise, it is VERY easy to read the instructions and set the camera to automatically turn on when a drive starts and to also run in the background so your phone works 100% normal while recording what is going on while driving (the exception could be if you want a different wifi in the vehicle since it uses it's own wifi system to connect with a phone, but we don't have car wifi or anything so had no issues with that either.)

GREAT PRODUCT.

I hate this thing. It's totally frustrating. I get it working and recording and I can view videos, than I forget about it. But when I call it up, there are no videos and it wants me to re-pair. Screw it. I've done that 3 times now and here it is again with no videos and wants me to pair again. All it is is an obstruction of view in my way. I spent $300 to have it professionally installed so that there are no wires. It looks great but was a total waste of money.

This is my first dash cam, so I can't compare it to others. I chose Nexar based on reviews, the app, and free cloud storage. Setting it up was very easy. Suction cups usually don't hold, but this one is sturdy and tight. They provide ample cord length to snake it around the windshield and seat and provided some clips to keep the cord in place. After downloading the app and turning the car in, the device paired itself practically instantly. Videos are clear, day or night. If you want audio in your drive videos you must manually enable it in settings. One major disadvantage is it doesn't have motion detection or shock sensors so if you are hit while parked, it won't catch anything. It's only on when the car is on. Others have mentioned it only starts recording 5 minutes into the drive, but I haven't experienced this. Mine is already recording while I'm still taking stuff out of my pockets before I pull out of the driveway. So far I love it, but if I were to get another, I'd definitely choose a dash cam that will turn on and record from motion/shock.

The icy roads in Texas and massive car pileup made me so anxious. I like to think I’m a wonderful driver, but I can’t control everyone else’s vehicles... so I decided “as an extra layer of protection on the road, I’ll buy a dash cam.” I did some research and decided Nexar was the product I wanted. Shipping was fast. Setup is *very* simple; practically everything is done in the app on your phone - just need to make sure the camera is plugged into the power supply and that it’s connected to the app. The camera quality is said to be 1080p. The ads make it seem like you’re going to get crystal clear picture quality and that’s not quite the case. The picture quality is not as sharp as the advertisements, but you can still make out most details (can’t read license plates, but you can make out just about anything else). I do really enjoy that the picture quality is still as good at night as it is during the day. I *highly* recommend buying some heavy duty double-sided mounting tape though. The camera does not suction well to the window AT ALL. Outside of that, I’d recommend this as a good purchase! I managed to convince a friend of mine to buy one, and she loves it!

When I first got the camera, it was pretty good however, the floss begin the show up soon after and I mean very soon. Sudden Glitches The recording quality can be very terrible one time I was driving on interstate 19 and the camera decides to glitch out half the time and it’s not like a couple seconds. It’s like a couple minutes that was glitching. 🔼 and when I went to record at the time the new 6th St., Bridge in downtown Los Angeles as soon as I went in the bridge, it decided to glitch when I come back One year later to drive on the bridge, the video glitched out again. The camera can skip Frames When my drives are longer than a minute, the video can start skipping frames, which is really concerning because if this wasn’t an accident, I would have no way of knowing who is at fault for the accident And the dash cam would not help at all. God awful audio I don’t know what to say To describe the horrible audio The dash cam recording quality at the very least it’s garbled. The quality of camera is like having a phone from 2008 but even more inconvenient. Side note: I wish that the camera would save onto the SD card as a recording because when I do go to the website to grab a recording of my drive, it’s only available in snippets of 10 seconds and I much rather have one large file At the end of the day, the camera can be good. It does record fairly good nighttime recording and also the video quality Of the camera when it works it is Very clear minus the audio And I like the fact that I get unlimited cloud storage, however I’m thinking of getting another dash cam because this did not satisfy my expectations.

Great little camera. Clever use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to talk with your phone and upload drives and key moments to your phone and the cloud. However, this can use your battery power and if you don’t charge your phone as you drive, this might be an issue. My only other issue is that sometimes drives don’t appear on your phone. They’re all saved on the Micro SD card, so it’s not a major problem. Overall though, it’s neat and discreet, which is what I was after.

Pros: The video quality is really good. The Nexar app is very user friendly and records all the trips automatically once you sync your phone with the dash cam. You also have an option to select memory space on your phone to store the videos. This buy is spectacular value for money. GPS an added bonus in case your car lacks Apple CarPlay or Anroid Auto. Cons: Not sure how useful is the parking feature since it records the car front once collision or disturbance is identified. Overall an amazing product , Cheers

This is a great Dashcam, was super easy to set up and haven’t had any issues

Devuelvo el articulo porque me interesaba tener un almacenamiento en la nube como se anuncia en la descripción, sin embargo, el artículo es de excelente calidad, pero el acceso a la app Nexar es imposible ya que no hay cobertura en México para el almacenamiento en línea de los videos que va grabando el dispositivo, solo se grabarán las imágenes y video de manera local. El código SMS que se requiere para acceder a la aplicación no es generado, el servicio al cliente es súper rápido, contestan en inglés, pero solo confirmaron que México no tiene la disponibilidad de almacenamiento online, este era para mí la justificación de la compra y lo que marcaba la diferencia con otras cámaras disponibles en el mercado.

I looked at a lot of reviews before buying this and a lot are negative to say the least. But I have had not problems with connectivity between camera and iPhone. The app is clear and easy to use. The video and sound quality are very good. I like the fact there is not screen on the camera less distracting.
