Having Trouble Signing Up and Logging in to the Nexar Connect App?

Check our help guides below in case you encounter issues logging in to the Nexar Connect app.

What to Do if I Didn’t Receive the SMS Verification Code?

You should get the SMS verification code not long after you requested it, but if you did not receive one, please check the following:

1. Ensure that your country code is entered before the phone number

2. Make sure you are using a phone number that is registered in a supported country and is currently located in a supported country. You can check out the list of supported countries here.

3. Make sure you’re in a location with good cellular service, as the verification code will be sent via SMS message.

4. If your phone has VPN, security, or antivirus software enabled, it may interfere with the message containing your SMS verification code. Make sure to disable them while we send you the text message.

5. Make sure your cellular service provider is not blocking short codes from Nexar. If they are, please ask them to unblock it for you. This will ensure you will get SMS verification codes from Nexar whenever you need to log in to the app.

You can only make a maximum of 5 requests within a 30-minute period before the system locks you out for 24 hours. If you haven't received the code after a couple of attempts, please email our support team at support@getnexar.com for assistance.

What if I Received the Verification Code, but It’s Saying It’s Not Valid?

If the verification code you received is not working even if you're sure you've entered it correctly in the Nexar Connect app, please do the following:

1. Check the verification code you entered and make sure all the digits are correct.

2. Request a new verification code from the app.

3. Try logging in again using the new code.

Note that the SMS verification code expires 5 minutes after it is requested. It’s best to enter the code as soon as you receive it.

If the issue persists, please reach out to our support team for further assistance.


How to Navigate the Nexar Connect App?

Map Screen

The Map is the main page of the Nexar Connect app. It is the first screen you will see after logging into the app.

When entering the Nexar Connect app, the map will display the last known location of your dash cam. If you own more than one dash cam, they will all be shown on the map with their location.

While driving, the map view will follow the selected dash cam’s route, centered in the middle of the screen.

Dash Cam Status Bar

The status bar indicates the dash cam model, the camera's connectivity state, and the serial number of the device (which you can change to your car's name).

Nexar Connected Dash Cam's Statuses

  • Driving - The Driving status appears when you are connected to your dash cam and your car is on the move.

  • Parked - When the status is Parked, it means the Nexar Connect app is not connected to the camera and your dash cam has entered parking mode.

  • Idle - The Idle status indicates that your car has not moved for a certain period, but you are still connected to your dash cam.

Dash Cam Location Indicator

The dash cam location indicator has three colors signifying the status of your car:

  • Driving - Purple with ring

  • Parked - Gray

  • Idle - Purple

Live Button

Tapping the Live button initiates the Remote Streaming Feature for Nexar Connected dash cams. To stop the stream, simply tap the End livestream button.


Activity Screen

The Activity tab is your dash cam’s video library. Full drives, clips, and incidents captured by the dash cam are displayed here in chronological order, showing your latest drive at the top and clips labeled by their type.

By entering a card, you can easily play, save, and share important moments with your loved ones.

Clips and Drive Cards

Drives are the videos of your entire trip, whereas Clips are short videos that have been either automatically created or that you have manually created.

Manual clips will be labeled as Clip in your timeline, while incidents your dash cam detected automatically are labeled by the incident type: Hard Brake, Acceleration, Parking, Collision, etc.

Clips are backed up on your Cloud account permanently unless you choose to delete them manually.

Access Button

We understand that sometimes you would need to view and download the drives recorded in your dash cam's internal memory. To do this, tap the Access button on the Activity tab and connect to your dash cam's wifi. Once connected, you'll see a list of all your drives.


Incidents Screen

The Incidents screen lists all segments of a drive where an incident was recorded. These incidents are saved in the cloud server so users can play them in the Nexar Connect app as long as their phone is connected to the internet, even when they are away from the dash cam.

Incidents reflected in the cards include the following: Hard Brake, Acceleration, Parking, Collision, etc.

In the Emergency contacts screen, you can add contacts you wish to be notified in case of collision. They will receive an SMS alert and a link to live stream your dash cam's view in real-time. They will also be able to track your vehicle’s location and contact you.

Add an emergency contact by clicking on the Add emergency contact and supplying the required information. Remove an emergency contact by clicking on the trash icon next to the contact’s name.

On/Off Sounds

You can use the On/off sounds toggle to enable or disable sounds when powering on or turning off your dash cams.
