You can change your reserved space at any time, and if there is no more room, older footage is automatically deleted to make room for new footage.Īll recorded drives appear in the Nexar app as "Full Drives." You can review the footage and even see where the drive took place on a map (this is why the app requires location). It will also tell you how much storage is already in use by Nexar video footage. The app will tell you how many gigabytes of space is reserved on your phone, which equates to hours of footage. The Nexar app allows you to delegate a certain percentage of your available phone storage just for Nexar video, and this can be 20, 50, or 70 percent of your remaining storage. Since the Beam connects with your phone and saves footage to your phone in addition to the memory card, you'll want to make sure that there is space on your iPhone for video. Nexar App Drive Summary (Image credit: iMore) I do this each time to make sure that I don't miss a thing, plus Nexar states that the auto-start can take up to four minutes, though they're working to improve that in the future. To ensure that this always happens, you can manually connect it each time you drive by connecting to the "Direct-Nexar" network in your iPhone's Wi-Fi settings. You'll want to make sure that the blue LED light is solid, though, not blinking, because that confirms that it's "paired" with your phone and recording has begun. The whole process takes no more than a few minutes, and once it's set up, the Nexar Beam should always automatically connect to your phone as long as the Nexar app is running in the background. You just need to select the Nexar Beam in your iPhone's Wi-Fi settings, input the password (12345678), set the Location use to "Always," allow Bluetooth when requested, and then it's paired. The setup process for connecting the Nexar Beam to your iPhone is pretty easy and straightforward.

The length of the cable is nice because you can string the cable around the edge of the windshield, passenger door, and under the dash and floor cover. Nexar also includes a nice, 3-meter long micro USB cable with a car charger, which you can plug into your car's cigarette lighter port. The mount slides into the top of the camera and clicks in place, so you know it's secure. With the Beam, it includes a suction cup mount that easily sticks to your windshield and locks in place. Along the left side of the camera is the power button, as well as a slot for a microSD card, which is included for free (32GB). There isn't anything on the back of the camera except the Nexar logo and two LED lights to indicate that it is recording (green) and paired to your smartphone (blue).
