This article explains how to access Nexar Connected Dash cam recordings on the Nexar Connect app.
Your Nexar Connected dash cam recordings are stored in two locations known as "Residencies." However, no matter where your videos are saved, you can easily access them through the Nexar Connect app as long as they exist. Here's how you can get your videos:
Get High-Resolution Clip
The 'Get High-Resolution Clip' button lets users trim high-quality clips from full Drive recordings, with a maximum duration of up to 5 minutes.
Important Note: If the app is not connected during Clip creation, your clip will be automatically saved to the app when your dash cam is powered on and in an area with cellular reception.
Follow these simple instructions to create a Clip:
1. Open the Nexar Connect App
2. Under the Activity tab, choose the drive you want to save
Optional: Tap Cabin in the preview screen to switch to interior facing camera view
3. Tap Get High Resolution Clip
4. Adjust the trimmer to select the part of the drive you want to save
5. Tap Get clip
6. Tap Got it to return to the drive’s timeline
Watch Full Video
This option will require you to do Direct Camera Access, which allows you to connect to the camera directly over WiFi, stream full-quality footage to your phone, and trim the parts you want to save to your camera roll. Unlike the Get High-Resolution Clip button, the Watch Full Video button lets you download the entire video, including both road and cabin views, with no duration limit.
1. Open the Nexar Connect app
2. Under the Activity tab, choose the drive you want to save
3. Tap Watch Full Video
If not connected during the session: Follow the on-screen instructions:
a. Turn on the dash cam and the phone’s WiFi
b. Plug the dash cam to power
c. Double tap the power button
d. Tap Power button tapped in the app
Optional: Tap Cabin in the preview screen to switch to interior facing camera view
4. Adjust the trimmer to select the part of the drive you want to save
5. Tap the Download both views checkbox if you want to save both road and cabin views
6. Tap Download clip
7. Remain connected to the dash cam WiFi network until the video transfer is completed
8. Tap Done to go back to the Activity tab screen or Open Camera Roll to play the video
Overwritten by New Recordings
Drives that have been deleted from the Nexar Connected dash cam’s internal memory are indicated by a greyed-out viewer with a slashed-out play button in the middle, with a message below that says “This video has been overwritten by new recordings. “Learn more“. In this state, the Watch Full Video button will be disabled.
