Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam Front - 1440p 2K Car Camera Dashcam - WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, Night Vision, Parking Mode, Emergency SOS, G-Sensor, IPS Touch Screen - Includes Hardwire Kit, 64GB Micro SD & Case

The media could not be loaded. Really good dash cam.Fair price for what you get.I did purchase the hardwiring kit but being a new BMW X3 2021 it ended up being a nightmare and I didn’t want to pay someone to do it. I ended up just using the USB. This was actually so simple simple and you can only see the cable at both ends and nowhere else if you tuck them away.Quality is good.The only pain is the app for it. JustLiterally A pain to use. But after a while and of owning it you forget about it all anyway. I purchased the plug and play for the rear camera as well which it literally plugs into the side of the camera. I put a lot of camping stuff in the boot so didn’t want the wired option incase it got damaged.

Always good quality.picture. Very good package all in. Very good mount on windscreen this is the 2nd next base as I also have the 412he all good.

The camera is good and comes with everything you need to install a basic setup in the car, including getting wires out of sight. I additionally bought adhesive hooks to run the cable across the top of the passenger footwell to reach the “cigarette lighter” power socket. I made my own life difficult by also buying the rear camera and therefore needing to do its wiring, the setup could come with better instructions for hiding the wiring but YouTube to the rescue.The front camera is very good generally. I use the suction cup to attach it to the windscreen, and in very hot weather sitting in the sun for long periods it has twice fallen off. No problem, I just stick it back on. I’d rather that than use the adhesive version that also comes with it and then find I can’t easily move it.The internal battery is very weak, and discharges a full charge very quickly. In the car that isn’t a problem as it draws power from the car. But if the car sits undriven for a long time, the camera may take several minutes to fire up when the engine is started as the camera battery has drained even in standby. A small problem unless you are concerned about coverage from the very start of a journey.It also works well with the rear camera.Biggest gripe is the app that comes with it which is total hogwash, doesn’t work at all. After the first connection to the camera, forget ever getting it to connect again — not going to happen. Given the app is how the manufacturer expects you to download video, edit it etc, this is a serious flaw and has lost the camera a star from me. Instead you are talking about either removing the camera from the car To plug into a computer or removing the SD card from the camera if you have a reader in a computer you can plug it into. Overall the app looks great but just doesn’t work, and Nextbase don’t seem to be doing anything about that.

There's not a lot to say really other than it really is easy to install although be careful sticking the base into position if you've never installed one before as you only really get one chance and once it's on it doesn't easily come off. The wiring is the usual threading long wires under the head lining and in and out of rubber door trims, under and through panels and so on. Not a pleasant job and always worrying with plastic clips breaking but slowly does it and you'll get there.The picture quality is great and way better than the 720P unit we had last time.The software is easy to use and you can set it to store either HQ and SQ videos or just HQ along with setting the duration of each video too. You can stitch together three or four videos to make one long one but remember it's 4K and the file sizes get very big very quickly. We also bought the rear window camera and it seamlessly saves both feeds with ease.Be warned though the magnet used for holding the front camera in place is really strong and not so easy to remove the camera and replace it without messing up it's aim at the road ahead so you may have to check that every time you put it back in. One irritating thing is that once you've removed it the "shock detector" in it continues to work when it's in your pocket or bag so don't be surprised if you have lots and lots of black or blank videos if you take it out at the end of every journey.The polarising lens is really good and if you follow the instructions with the bit of paper setting it up you get so much better results in bright sunshine with little or no reflection off the dashboard.I suppose it depends on your vehicle but ours gave no vibration of the picture at all and I think some of that is the magnetic mounting but mostly the vehicle.Overall definitely worth the money

A breeze to use and setup, so long as you can work out the fuse to connect this to in the box an absolute ease to install too, just take your time and use a bit of common sense with the cable routing it will only take about 30 minutes to install, just get the biggest SD card you can afford.

Great quality camera. I have purchased three nextbase dashcams. Easy to install using the hardwire kit purchased separately. Easy to set up and attaches securely to the windscreen.

The dashcam is very good, picture quality is decent & more that up to the job.My only gripes are how dated it feels, for nextbase being a market leader I would have hoped for some nice modern UI and a decent app.But, the mobile app is finicky at best and transfer speeds from camera to phone over the "High Speed WiFi Connection" that took longer to connect than I am comfortable living my car idling in the driveway, then took 5-10 minutes or so at 2Mb/s to transfer a single 200mb file.Nextbases great remedy when I informed them of this was telling me to enable low resolution downloads, useful. /sarcasmSo if you ever really need the footage just pull the SD Card and copy it manually it's really not worth the effort to do anything via the app.But for a tidy looking camera that can sit in position and just record any potential disaster it's definitely upto the job & while I paid full RRP for the app etc I have to say that was painful considering the dated app/speeds erc - but if its was in a sale I would absolutely grab it again.
