Connecting and Onboarding Your Nexar beam2 with the Nexar Connect app
To connect or onboard your Nexar beam2 with the Nexar Connect app, read the steps below.
Important reminder
The Nexar Connect app supports all devices operating on Android 10 and above, as well as iOS 15.4 and above. The app also works best with a phone number that is registered in a supported country.
1. Download the Nexar Connect app and sign up
The Nexar Connect app is available for both iOS and Android devices. Click the appropriate link below to download and sign up:
Please note that only Nexar dash cams with LTE capacity are compatible with the Nexar Connect app. This includes the Nexar beam2 and the Nexar One.
Standard Nexar dash cams without LTE capability, such as the Nexar Pro, Nexar Beam, NEXS1, NEXC1, and NEXC2, use the Nexar Classic app.

2. Connect the cable
Plug the power cable into the power port on top of the mount.
3. Power on the Nexar beam2 dash cam
Connect the Nexar OBD power adapter to the OBD port or insert the charger into the power outlet, making sure they fit securely. If you have chosen the Nexar hardwiring kit, we recommend seeking professional assistance with the installation.
4. Open the Nexar Connect app
After your Nexar beam2 has been turned on, open the Nexar Connect app and follow the on-screen instructions. Make sure that the phone's cellular data, WIFI, and Location are enabled when setting up the Nexar Connect app.
5. Mount the Nexar beam2
Remove the protective film from the camera lens, including the cabin camera, if available. This will improve cabin video recording and enhance night vision.
After removing the protective film from both cameras, check the camera view on the Nexar Connect app. Position the camera to ensure a full, clear view of the road and cabin. Peel off the backing plastic from the adhesive, then firmly attach the camera to the windshield.
6. Hide the cable
Use the installation tool and cable clips provided with the Nexar beam2 dash cam to hide and secure the cable around the windshield.
You're all set! Start driving safely!
