Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam Front and Rear Camera with Class 10 U3 64gb SD Card Recording- 1440/30fps Full HD- Wi-Fi Bluetooth GPS- Alexa & Polarising Filter Built-in, G-Sensor – 280/ 360° Angle

Front and back camera with time stamp , location, and speed you can not really ask for more. It has already saved me just after fitting I was at a set of lights when let’s just say for now a young man decide to blaze through a junction on red and then when he realised what he had done proceed to stand on his brakes as the police were on the opposite side of the road further back. They were just out of sight of what had just happened needless to say when he stepped hard on the brakes and for what ever reason clipped the front end of my car ” to be honest not a great deal of damage mostly paint” the problem was that he said I run the red light and it was my fault , not noticing the dash cam which I had just fitted. I was able to give the police the account of what had just happened and they were able to watch what had just took place and prove my side of the story. The police man told me that dash cam where the best and cheapest witness you could ever ask for and proceeded to watch the footage. During this time I was in doubt of how good they where and next base did not let me down it had locked the accident because of the impact and to be fare saved me a load of hassle with my insurance company who requested a copy of the accident. This could have ended in court with a knock for knock outcome my car insurance taking a hit and me having to explain to a judge why I run a red light. I am a HGV driver so a professional driver and this would certainly not look good for me with work and a conviction for careless driving. All I can say is thanks next base you saved me a load of time and money and guess what all my other cars now have them as well including my truck. So for anyone looking a easy fit system fitted mine in under 30 mins front and back with ease this is the system for you. Oh one more thing the night time vision system is great , if your thinking of buying don’t think just do you won’t regret it. One last thing you can easily remove and refit to another vehicle it’s very simple to do or sell it with the car and buy a new system , because we are heading to a age of insurance company’s demanding them to be fitted to all cars soon to keep your premium down and for a few hundred pound it is a no brain idea. Oh tip wait a till it’s on offer I managed to buy my system for 145 at the time coming up to Christmas so it pays to shop and save at. Good luck and I hope you never have to use it but remember your little eye tells no lies nor does it favour another person it only shows what exactly happened.

I spent hours and hours looking at dash cams and which one to buy etc. I’m glad I bought this one as it’s very easy to use and excellent picture quality. The footage downloads to your mobile phone via an App without having to remove the SD card. The dash cam clips in and out of the cradle easily if you don’t want to keep it in place permanently. Again after a lot of research I bought a SanDisk EXTREME 128mb SD card which works very well, and not had any of the problems that other users have had using different grade SanDisk cards. Format the SD card every fortnight to keep it working at it’s best.

The camera was working just fine for over a year, (1 year of warranty I’m afraid), screen stopped working, then started flickering. I did update the firmware, the issue is not with the LCD itself, might be the OS. There is a delay when you press the Settings button, try to replace the SD card and reset it to default. Will log a ticket with Nextbase.

The much vaunted SOS function is not an inclusive feature of the webcam but a subscription service that must be paid for; currently 2.99 monthly; say 30p.a.; this is not mentioned in the product details as far as I can see. ALSO although the description states the mount is magnetic this only relates to the connection between camera and base unit. The mounting to the screen is by a sticky pad and this can be very hard to remove. The optional suction-cup screen mount is no longer included in the package but is described in the downloadable user manual and was one of the reasons I chose this model. In fact a quick call to customer support secured an immediate promise to dispatch one to me the next day, and the explanation given was that so many people just discard these mounts that they were withdrawn. This caused me some inconvenience as the item was needed that day; the service could not however have been better. The SOS pricing info was also provided by the supprt worker. The claim that the camera can be easily fitted and removed with one hand seems unlikely to work for me. The magnetic connection is exceptionally strong and even with the unit in both hands requires considerable force to seperate them. All other ratings are without the benefit (yet) of use on the road but build quality appears very good, set-up screens are simple and clear and pictures appear to be of reasonable quality. The polarising lens might be a mixed blessing as my experience from photography is that the effectiveness of these depends upon the direction of the light and so they need adjusting each time the camera is moved relative to that. This cannot be done while driving.

This is literally a black box for your car, especially if you have front and rear cameras connected together, the camera keeps recording a high-quality audio/video as long as you are driving, also can start recording once something happens to the car (hit by something). It was easy for me to install it even though I have a hatchback car.

strongly recommended

It was pretty easy to install neatly and sofar the image quality looks very good. I would recommend this rear camera over the add on one of you are planning to hide the dash cam behind the wing mirror.

Wie die Saugleistung der Kamera ist kann ich leider nicht sagen , was Amazon hier will erschliesst sich mir nicht. . Mit der Qualitt der Bildaufnahmen bin ich zufrieden wenn auch in den bewegten Bildern nur die nheren Nummernschilder lesbar sind, ob es hier Kameras mit besserer Qualitt gibt wei ich natrlich nicht. Halter und Aufnahme sind top und mit der Rckkamera super. Einzig das Herunterladen der Videos per App knnte besser werden . Die Bedienung der Kamera selbst ist per Touch klasse.

The product was initially shipped without the 64GB SD Card, however, this was promptly rectified without any problems.

Alles funktioniert sind Top, aber optisch fr meine Bedrfnisse zu auffllig.
Schade sonnst wre es genau das was ich suche.

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.

This is our third Nextbase dash cam and our second 522GW. We have one in each car now.

The quality is excellent hence our repeated purchases. I hardwired the most recent one (mk3 Focus) took around half an hour.

If you’re thinking of doing the same (Mk3 Focus RHD), use fuse number 85 (moon roof) in the passenger footwell and trace the wire around the passenger side door seals for the forward facing camera.

If you have the rear camera as we do, trace the wire towards the drivers side door seals (the connection for the rear camera is on the right hand side of the front camera) as this will make it a neater job and won’t double up the wires in the door seals. (Saves using a 12v socket which may not be in a good position for powering the dash cam).

The camera includes a small plastic tool for helping to tuck away the wires in the headlining and door seals.

Other car makes and models, just use a fuse that is on a system that only works when the ignition is turned on.

The cameras are really easy to use presuming you know how to download an app. If you don’t have a smart phone, don’t worry, your camera footage is saved on the dash cam micro sd card and can be viewed on the camera itself or plug the camera into a pc/mac with the cable provided. The camera software should download the first time you plug it in (it did for me, Mac user)

Would recommend the camera, 522GW, and the seller. Prompt delivery too.

10/10.

Product works fine.
Easy to setup.
Was delivered within 24hrs.
Undamaged.

So I bought this for my new car. Bought a hardwire kit also. Easy to use and setup. The fact I can use one cable from the rear cam to connect to the front camera saves hardwiring to the back of the car somewhere.
Only thing I dont like is I was having difficulty connecting to the camera with my phone via bluetooth and wifi direct for downloading and reviewing footage on the Nextbase app. In the end I had to use almost all the default settings.
It does say this in the instructions etc but any previous dashcams I’ve used are 3 min cycle recording. This is currently set at 1 min cycle recording. For now I also have the G sensor switched off as I found my dashcam to be saving the footage more constant on protection protect file.
