About Automatic Recording
Automatic recording allows you to secure your drive recording to your phone so you can create clips even when you are not connected to your NEXS1 or NEXC1 dash cam. As soon as your Nexar app detects the dash cam over Bluetooth and WiFi, Nexar streams video directly from the NEXS1 or NEXC1 dash cam to your phone.
