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/)

I have/had a Nexar Beam in my Sierra, until last week. [https://imgur.com/H6OneyK](https://imgur.com/H6OneyK) Waiting to get a new vehicle to put it right back in. [https://www.getnexar.com/the-dash-cams/](https://www.getnexar.com/the-dash-cams/)

Have been using NEXDIGITRON 2k camera(front) and 1080(back). It is a good option and the app is also great no lags and no fuss. Also in budget 8k.

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

I've enjoyed my Nexar Beam

I have a Nexar Beam in my 2018 718 base and in my daily (2024 Hyundai Santa Cruz), and I am able to switch back and forth pretty much seamlessly with the Nexar app on my phone. Drives automatically start when the car is started, but I still usually open the app just to confirm it worked if switching back from the other vehicle. I use the console cigarette lighter port and ran the wire under the dash and along the windshield. Actual camera hides nicely out of view behind the mirror. Very good video quality. Available in either 32 or 64 GB, but Nexar allows for free unlimited cloud storage. You can also create a group in the app to alert family if you have an incident while driving (this came in handy a few years ago when someone drove into my daily- my girlfriend was alerted before I even pulled onto the shoulder). Also, it does create clips for hard brakes, hard cornering, and hard acceleration, so I sometimes enjoy watching those after a fun mountain drive. Amazon almost always has a sale running as well. Only downside to me is no rear view capability.

Nexar Beam isn't bad. I've had it for about 3 years & still going strong. If this kicks the can I may go with the more expensive version which records in 4k although 1080p is honestly good enough.

Nexar Beam. I have 2 and no complains about them [Nexar Beam](https://www.getnexar.com/the-dash-cams/beam/)

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