This guide will teach you how to setup Nexar One's recording resolution.


Recording 4K Videos

4K resolution produces ultra-high-definition videos that enable you to capture even the smallest details, such as license plate numbers, in both day and night conditions. This level of detail is crucial for preserving evidence in the event of incidents and capturing the beauty of sunsets.


How to Change Nexar One's Recording Resolution

Nexar One offers flexibility in recording resolution settings, allowing you to adjust the video quality based on your preferences or storage needs. By default, the Nexar One dash cam records and streams videos to your phone in Standard quality.

Here's a detailed comparison of the recording resolution of Nexar One dash cam:

Here's a simple guide on how to change Nexar One's recording resolution:

To change your dash cam's recording resolution on the Nexar Connect app, go to More > Settings > Recording quality > choose the quality you prefer. The next time your Nexar Connected dash cam reboots, the new settings will apply and your drives will be recorded in that resolution to the internal memory.

How Video Resolution Affects the Dash cam's Recording Capacity

Recording in 4K resolution will use four times as much storage in your dash cam. Recording a 1-minute video at 1080p uses 63MB of storage, while the same clip at 4K uses about 300MB of storage in your Nexar Connected dash cam's internal memory.

If you want to record more premium-quality videos, please choose a higher internal memory during checkout.
