Camera Features:

Your LEXUS DASHCAM features 5 unique recording modes: 3 automatic modes and 2 manual modes activated using the “ACTION” button:

1) Continuous recording – automatically records when vehicle ignition is on. Never worry about turning on the camera to start recording. When SD card is full, oldest files are automatically overwritten.
2) Automatic Incident recording – if an abnormal shock is detected when driving, camera automatically locks and protects the video file from overwriting for review at a later time. Sensitivity can be adjusted. Maximum of 10 event videos can be protected from overwriting.
3) Parking surveillance – when vehicle is parked with vehicle ignition off, camera automatically wakes up and starts recording if an abnormal shock is detected. Parking surveillance files are locked and protected from overwriting. Sensitivity can be adjusted. Maximum of 10 parking surveillance recordings can be protected from overwriting.
4) Manual Flagged Event recording – capture interesting moments by pressing the “ACTION” button on the camera. The current video segment(s) 12 seconds before and 8 seconds after button activation will be protected. Maximum of 5 manual event recordings can be protected from overwriting.
5) Adventure Mode recording – capture your driving adventures. Press and hold the “ACTION” button on the camera for 1 second to start protecting the recorded videos. The Adventure Mode recording will stop protecting files after maximum time is reached, or when the “ACTION” button is pressed and held again for 1 second. Maximum of 1 hour of Adventure Mode videos can be protected from overwriting.

Ratings and reviews

The app is okay (at best) with regards to layout. Functionality and controls are basic but it's impossible to view events from the SD card on a computer because the file naming convention/storage is random (doesn't relate to the date time of the event). File transfer speed from dashcam to app is PAINFULLY slow. Camera quality is below average (720). Overall a painful experience using this oem dashcam and app. Wouldn't recommend.

I spent an unbelievable amount of time trying to get the dash cam to connect to my A32 Samsung smart phone (purchased new in September 2021) The phone connects for anywhere between 1 minute to 3 minutes before disconnecting and once this happens it will not reconnect until you go out of the app and start the connecting procedure again. I had the phone checked and rechecked and everyone concluded its the App. This does not meet the quality that everyone expects from Lexus, it needs to be fixed.

Problems with playing the videos inside the app. After downloading the video, error message that says 'can't play video' keeps coming up on the app. Able to download the video and view in a different player on my phone or can view from PC software, but being able to play the videos shuttle be a basic function of this app.
