Nexar - beam2

For some reason, he didn't test Nexar. My problem with all these Chinese brands and they never last. My Nexar, their first model, has been in my truck since 2019 and have been near faultless. They have models the same price as VIOFO. [https://www.getnexar.com/the-dash-cams/](https://www.getnexar.com/the-dash-cams/)

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

I've enjoyed my Nexar Beam

Nexar Beam has worked well for me.

I use a Nexar Beam records to SD card and can stream to your phone or tablet which can save to the cloud. Only records the road but can have audio from cab if you want. I think the newer version has lte connectivity though.

I’ve had a Nexar beam since 2020. I’ve replaced the sd card once, the usb power cable once. The suction cup with the gps component stopped working once between then and now and Nexar mailed me a replacement at no charge. Also I was slip seating from 2020 so I was taking it out every day which probably caused the issues with the cable and gps component (the wire got shorted from disconnecting every day).

I have the nexar beam 2, and it has exceptional quality.

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.

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.

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?
