This document describes the Nexar dash cam system, focusing on its setup, features, and maintenance. Nexar aims to enhance road safety by providing a smart dash cam system that records and connects drivers, offering real-time information and incident protection.

Function Description

The Nexar dash cam system is designed to record driving footage, identify incidents, and save clips to the cloud. It works in conjunction with the Nexar app, which connects users to other Nexar drivers to provide real-time road information. The system automatically turns on and off with your car, ensuring continuous recording during your drives. Its primary function is to reduce the chance of collisions and make roads safer for everyone by leveraging a network of connected drivers.

Usage Features

Getting Started (Setup): The setup process involves several steps to get the Nexar dash cam ready for use in your car.

1. Download the Nexar app: Available for iPhone (nxr.cm/ios) and Android (nxr.cm/android).
2. Enable settings: Open the app and grant all necessary permissions when prompted.
3. Select your mount: The system offers two mounting options:
   • Mount with sticker disk: This option uses an adhesive disk for attachment.
   • Mount with suction cup: This option uses a suction cup for attachment.
4. Align and secure the mount:
   • For the suction cup or sticker disk, align it to the notches at the bottom of the mount docking base and slide to secure it.
   • For the docking base assembly, align the 3-notch into the open slot at the top of the camera. The USB-C power input should face the rear of the vehicle when mounting.
5. Connect the USB-C cable: Plug the provided USB-C cable into the base.
6. Choose an installation area: Select a clean spot on your windshield, ideally behind the rearview mirror.
   • Mount with Suction Cup: Unlock the lever to create suction, apply pressure to the desired location, and then lock the lever to secure the mount.
   • Mount with Sticker Disk: Apply pressure to ensure the adhesive attaches firmly to the location.
7. Align the camera: Remove the adhesive backing from the selected mount and align the camera to face the front of the vehicle.
8. Power on and pair:
   • Start your car. The dash cam should show a steady green light (on & active) and a blinking blue light (waiting to be paired).
   • Remove the sticker from the camera's lens.
   • Follow the in-app instructions to pair your phone with the dash cam and check the camera's view.

Light Indicators: The dash cam provides visual cues through its light indicators:

• Steady green light: Indicates the dash cam is on and active.
• Blinking red light: Indicates an upgrade is in progress.
• Steady red light: Indicates a faulty camera.
• Blinking blue light: Indicates the dash cam is waiting to be paired with the app.
• Steady blue light: Indicates the dash cam and app are paired.

Hiding the Cable (Fine Tuning): To ensure a neat installation and prevent interference, the cable can be hidden:

1. Sit in the passenger seat.
2. Gently pull down the edge of the fabric at the top of the windshield.
3. Use two fingers or the installation tool to push the cable behind the ceiling fabric. (Alternatively, provided cable clips can be used.)
4. Open the passenger-side door.
5. Insert the cable into the door's seal.
6. Hide the remaining cable under the passenger's floor mat.
7. Bring the cable as close to the power socket as possible and connect it to the USB charger.

Important Note on Cable Hiding: This method is intended only for vehicles where curtain airbags are NOT installed in the window frame. It should NOT be used in vehicles with curtain airbags, as it could interfere with their operation and be extremely dangerous. If unsure about airbag locations, do not use this method.

Shared Car Feature: If multiple drivers use the same car, ensure all drivers download the Nexar app and pair it with the dash cam to utilize its full functionality.
