Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

DriveGuard is designed to work with the Nextbase NBDVR300W Dash Cam only. (For other Nextbase Dash Cam models please use Cam Viewer or MyNextbase Connect) DriveGuard will allow Live View from the Dash Cam in addition to viewing video / photo files stored upon the camera and also downloading to your connected device for viewing later. DriveGuard can also be used to quickly submit video footage of incidents to your insurance provider. For your own safety do NOT operate DriveGuard or your Dash Cam whilst driving.
