2 1/2 years ago my wife was struck in her drivers door while attempting a left hand turn. She was leaving an entryway for a McDonald’s onto a 2 lane road with a center turn lane. Since it was a red light at the corner, a car stopped to let her out. As she was competing her turn another car went into the turn lane to go around the stopped car and struck my wife. My wife was held liable because it was “he said, she said”. After that accident I bought Nexar dash cams for both our cars. Recently I was attempting a left turn. As I was entering the intersection the light turned yellow. Before I could complete my turn I was struck on my drivers side by an oncoming car. I was found at fault for not yielding to oncoming traffic. After I was able to, I checked my footage since I couldn’t remember the details of the crash. My video showed the other vehicle enter the intersection on red, not yellow. I also pointed out the fact that the drivers headlights never dipped which happens when there is a sudden deceleration. Just something to look for. The driver later admitted that he was accelerating to beat the light. Because of my dash cam footage the other driver was found 100% liable. Thank you Nexar for a quality product that saved me thousands of dollars.

I’ve had the Nexar dash camera now for about 6 months. It’s great when it works. The camera records and transmits the video your phone. There’s even a feature that allows it to back up to cloud storage for free. The primary issue we’ve been having is that even with the auto-record feature, the feature that automatically starts the camera recording when you start your car, works about 25% of the time. Not great odds if you think you’re recording and get into an accident and find you have zero footage. It really is hot or miss. Seems to be an issue with the camera over time. Bought this Nexar dash cam for my wife’s car as well as my car and we both have iPhone 12 Pros. She experiences the same issue. I guess if you’re willing to to manually turn on the camera with your phone every time you start a drive this could work, but you might be better off with a cheap $30-$40 dash cam recording on an SD card that will automatically start recording when you start your car. At this price point $125-$130 for this Nexar dash cam, the spotty reliability in terms of recording when you start your car is a major disappointment. Last thing you want is to go days or weeks thinking your camera has been recording your drives and then come to find out you have a fraction of what you expect. I can deal with the camera not starting to record 30 seconds to 5 minutes after you start your car, but to miss trips in their entirety every 3-4 trips is inexcusable.

I have to start off with how great this camera is, I’m super happy that I have it. I have already had a close call with another driver who wasn’t paying attention. This is probably the best camera that I have gotten my hands on, and it’s perfect for my work. Plus the app is super helpful when it comes to those close calls, because it detects my hard breaks, and it’ll clip that exact situation, and in a insurance claim, having footage of the accident taking place, vs not having footage is your word against their word. I’m super happy with my purchase, and will recommend it to friends and family. With that being said, there are so flaws with getting this camera. For starters you can only connect to it with your phone is if your cell service is good, if not you can’t connect to it. On top of that I can’t say for certain but the camera doesn’t start recording till you connect to your phone, which is the opposite of why I bought the nexar camera. It’s kind of a backwards process as far as having a dash cam. My camera also broke on me, which is unfortunate but I’m still standing behind this company, I just hope they fix the whole needing cell service in order to start recording. If I get in a accident and the camera didn’t catch the accident taking place, because of poor reception, then I have lost money with this camera, and lose even more if I lose the insurance claim.

I have owned dashcams and mirrorcams before, but this one beats them all.... Hands down!!!The clarity is totally amazing as is the sound. So many great features. I tested the hard brake feature and it worked like a charm. Came up ready to send to the issuance company or to share, or both.I live up north and the drives are incredibly scenic, I have sent clips of my drives over the mountains to friends and family all over the world. And everyone said it was like they were right there on the drives! I also love the fact it's not going to die in the heat or the cold (which has killed my previous cameras) because of the wide variants in the temperatures. Great call!! I can see me owing and enjoying this camera for many years!Now for the customer service... It can't be beat either! The team answer any questions very quickly and professionally, they are also like your new best friend! I've only had a few questions, and they were answered in no time and in full. You get to know each team member, not like other companies with so many different people. They make sure you're happy with the Nexar cam at all times and nothing is too much trouble.The best camera, the best customer service. Win-win. You won't be disappointed!!!
