This guide will help you understand the parking mode for your Nexar Pro, Beam, and NEXC2 dash cam and how to ensure it's working.

Your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam is designed to go into a state of hibernation for utilizing its sensors when your vehicle is parked and detect impact while you are not nearby, to provide around-the-clock protection.

The Nexar Pro, Beam, and NEXC2 dash cams are equipped with sensors designed to detect impacts (such as a collision with your vehicle) and unusual movements that occur when your vehicle is parked. Nexar utilizes these sensors to activate your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam in the event of a hit-and-run incident while your vehicle is parked or an attempted car theft. When such events are detected, your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam automatically powers on and captures a 30-second clip of the incident. This ensures that you have the necessary evidence you need.

The Parking Mode feature will be activated automatically as soon as your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam is paired successfully with the Nexar Classic app. When the Nexar Classic app detects a drop in voltage by the end of each drive, your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam will enter the Parking Mode state and be on alert for impact.

Parking mode is enabled simply by onboarding your dash cam to the Nexar Classic app. Make sure that your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam is up to date with the latest firmware.

Enter the Drive tab, to view the last saved parking location on the map. A single tap on the dash cam’s location pin triggers the Last Seen tooltip that indicates the last known location and the timestamp detected by the Nexar Classic app. For viewing the most up-to-date location of your dash cam, make sure the Bluetooth is enabled regularly during your drives.

On iOS, an additional tap will open the Last saved parking spot screen that triggers footage of the last 10 seconds of your drive to remind you where you parked.

You will be notified about a parking incident that occurred overnight as soon as you connect to your Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 dash cam over Bluetooth. Following the notification, your Nexar Classic app will start to transfer the video file of the parking incident from your dash cam to the phone.

The video file transfer is done over WiFi and Bluetooth, therefore it requires you to stay near the Nexar Pro, Beam, or NEXC2 for a couple of minutes, so you can view the parking incident by the end of the process.

Parking incidents will be saved directly to your Videos timeline and labeled with Parking label. After the clip was transferred and uploaded you will be able to view it.

We do not recommend connecting the Nexar Pro, Beam, and NEXC2 dash cams to a continuous power source because they are not configured to support it.

To test if Parking mode is working, disconnect your dash cam from power, then shake your dash cam gently, and wait for the dash cam to turn on.

In case the dash cam does not turn on after doing the shake test, it might indicate that the battery drained. Connect it to power overnight and try again.
