A:AnswerHello,
Thank you for your great question! Yes, the camera is designed to automatically start recording when the vehicle is powered on, connected to the 12v cigarette power cable or through the Hardwire kit. This feature ensures that the camera begins recording as soon as the ignition is turned on and stops once the vehicle is powered off.
Alternatively, if you prefer more control, you can also start and stop recording using voice commands for added convenience.
We hope this helps, and if you have any other questions, please let us know, we're glad to help!

Thank you for your questions!
The app is designed to connect to one camera at a time. However, you can absolutely use both cameras—simply unpair the first camera from the app before connecting the second one. This allows you to switch between cameras when needed.
Regarding Android Auto, there should generally be no issue connecting your phone to both the dash cam and Android Auto. However, since both use Bluetooth, there is always a slight possibility of interference, as with any Bluetooth devices. If you encounter any issues, we recommend trying to disconnect one device temporarily to ensure smooth operation.
We hope this helps, and if you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We're always here to help!

A:AnswerHello,
Thank you for your question! We do not recommend mounting the camera upside down or in any direction other than its intended placement. Mounting it in an unconventional way, such as behind your front media tablet, could potentially lead to overheating or other performance issues. The camera is designed to function optimally when mounted in the recommended position, ensuring proper airflow and preventing any potential damage.
For the best performance, we suggest following the installation guidelines provided in our support page https://nextbase.com/help-and-support/dash-cams/piqo-support/. If you have any further questions or need assistance with installation, feel free to reach out.

Thank you for reaching out! The PIQO doesn’t come with a magnetic mount like some other models. Instead, the camera has a built-in mount that’s installed directly on your windshield using a strong adhesive pad. However, if you ever need to remove the camera, it can be easily detached from the adhesive plate, allowing you to take the camera off the windshield without any hassle.
We hope this helps clarify things, and if you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out. We’re happy to assist you!

Thank you for your question! The unit comes with a 12V cigarette lighter power cable. If you decide you prefer to use the hardwire kit you can purchase this separately.

A:AnswerHello,
Thank you for reaching out! You won't be able to remotely access the camera from far away, as the Piqo dash cam connects via Bluetooth. This means you can only access the footage when you're in close range. If someone else is driving your car, you won't be able to monitor them in real time through your phone. However, you can review recorded footage later if needed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! - The Nextbase Reviews Team
