Nexar - Beam

Nexar is actually a good one if you don’t use wireless CarPlay/AA. It maintains a WiFi connection with your phone and videos are stored there as well as the camera. Makes it easy to review the footage.

Nexar Beam , just get a USB C to USB A adaptor

I use Nexar and the video quality is good. Way cheaper than that. Cheapest I believe it $80.

Yup, I’ve had a regular Nexar Beam since 2021 and it’s been working fine. Very very rarely it disconnects and doesn’t record a drive but it’s so simple to fix. Literally just open the app and let it sync up to the camera and you’re good to go. It’s definitely good for a budget. My biggest con for Nexar is there’s no rear camera option other than buying another Beam and paying for their subscription service to be able to have both front and back cameras recording at once.

I like Nexar. Uniden r8 for the radar detector, you’re gonna want that too. With our cars it pays for itself after one use lol

Absolutely man! If you pull the trigger on the r8 I believe it’s on sale on Amazon for around $600 right now (the extra few hundred is worth it for the added range and arrow/multiple bogey features so you know what direction the radar is from and if there happens to be two cops driving half a mile apart, it’s a tactic they do so you think you passed the radar source but then there’s another), and you’ll want to download a companion app on your phone too so it can learn all the K-band along your usual routes and auto-mute them for you. On Apple it’s “r8 companion” on the App Store. As far as the dash cam Nexar has ones that also detect “movement” (aka someone hitting your car) and records that event even if you’re not driving.

VIOFO is one that a lot of people get and I've fitted one on another car our family has. I currently use Nexar but I'm also thinking about getting another VIOFO cam. Idk if VIOFO make dashcams using other sensors but just make sure you get one with the Sony sensor. Video quality is really good on all of their cams and there are plenty of videos showcasing the quality too. Just be aware (idk if this is for all dashcams), if you want to hardwire it to use the Parking Mode, you will have to purchase the hardware for that separately. When we bought everything it came up to £115 or £120?

I used Nexar for years. In multiple cars as well, I had bought it in 2018. Still holding up excellent but I wanted a higher quality video and a rear view as well so I just recently got REDTIGER. Check in with y’all in a few years haha

That’s what it took for me to get a dash cam. Getting hit from a person making a wrong turn and then lying about it to both of our insurance companies. Nexar one recorded front and cabin but you def need that rear one for more protection.

I got a Nexar and a uniden

I use a nexar, super easy to install and use. Worth ever penny. It has saved me twice with insurance and assisted police with hit and runs as well a other people with I witness and they dont have a cam.

Nexar on my 25 civic so far no issue

Yeah but it doesn't appear that they have lte. You have to connect to the device through wifi when sitting in the car which sucks. The best camera I could find was the Nexar. Great picture quality. I get front and rear footage. I can livestream from anywhere in the world and get events like a home security system. Tracks the car in the app and ties location and speed with the footage. You can actually read license plates. It also holds up very well with 8k watts rms of bass in the GLC. Doesn't fall off. Even the rear cam doesn't budge and it's sitting right above the subs.

No. Get a Nexar dash cam. You can track the vehicle and it's clear enough you can read license plates. Plus you can connect a rear cam to it. Everything is in the Nexar app and the cam is 4g connected. I wouldn't rely on MB.

Nexar detects motion and starts automatically when you drive or vehicle gets bumped.
