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.

r/TruckersDash cam for delivery trucks, what works best?
4 months ago

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 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.

r/BMWWhat dashcams are you guys running?

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?

r/phoenixAffordable car dash cams that can survive the Phoenix heat?

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.
