7. Frequently Asked Questions
- Is there a monthly subscription fee?
- No, the purchase of the dash cam covers your lifetime use of
the Nexar app, cloud storage, and network.
- How does the camera connect to the phone? Will the app consume
my data plan?
- The dash cam connects to the Nexar app using a Wi-Fi signal,
without interrupting your data plan usage. If there's a dangerous
event, like a crash or a hard brake, the app uses a bit of your
data plan to immediately save the footage to the cloud.
- Will the app drain my phone's battery?
- Like any app, Nexar uses some juice from your battery, but not
a lot. The Nexar app runs in the background, only during an ongoing
drive, so the battery consumption is minimal. You can use any other
app while driving, it won't interfere with Nexar.

can help you record while your vehicle is parked at night. However,
our NEXC1 and NEXS1 units would be an ideal choice for this
situation since both have a parking mode feature. You can check
them out from here: (us.getnexar.com).
Q: Do you have to erase what is on the SD card? What is the purpose
of the SD card if it backs up to the cloud?

goes into loop recording so it overwrites on top of the old footage
once the SD card is full. The purpose of the SD card is to provide
additional storage for videos when cloud storage is
unavailable.
Q: Is there something wrong with the Nexar app? I just got my dash
cam on Friday, and as I’m signing up, it never sends me a code.
A: Your phone has to be compatible with Nexar. Please check if your

automatically start when it detects that your driving. It doesn’t
interfere with your phone.
