Genuine new product, well packaged with prompt delivery. I’m always wary of 3rd party sellers but no complaints here. Not had cause to interact on regards return or warranty claim so cannot comment on this aspec
Got this Nextbase front and rear dashcam for friend who has had recent close calls with inconsiderate drivers. Very well designed and thought-out dashcam, I believe it to be high quality, only downside got caught out purchasing wrong SD card, didn’t absorb instructions properly, make sure you purchase a U3 card. But very impressed with this product.
Nice cam works fine lens covers both sides of road long cable does not have suction mount,which was in picture on amazon but stick on ones are good just put in right place as it is hard to move.
Easy to set up, installation was harder as my power supply is live all the time so had to get a hard wire kit which was pretty easy with a yeti. Wiring ran neatly behind the trim and the camera works great.
My grandson just passed his test so I bought him the same dashcam I have. Not the cheapest but great quality camera and excellent VFM. When movies downloaded you get good quality pictures from both front and rear cameras.
Dashcam was easy to install and simple to use. Imagine is clear and picture quality is good. If you have an older Nextbase dashcam you will need a new SD card as older ones aren’t compatible.
Easy to install and set up, and gives added peace of mind while driving and parked up.
This is a great little dash cam with added benefit of rear view attached camera. only 3 stars on easy to install as it is tricky to position on windscreen exactly using the sticky pad mount. It would have been nice if the product included the suction pad mount as well, then you could find the best position and switch to the sticky pad mount if necessary.
It was easy to install and works perfectly. Loving the product.
Already have a top range nextbase but wanted a more basic dashcam for our runaround. Decided not to chance a cheap dash cam as the 222 bundle came with everything for not much more than the “unbranded” models with a half decent review. No bells and whistles (no app or GPS) but it records a decent video and you should be able to rely on nextbase.
Very easy to install
Picture quality is very good
Thanks
BE AWARE THAT THIS CAMERA DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY OTHER CARD THAN NEXTBASE CARD
Nextbase do a wide range of Dashcams, each better than the one before but for simplicity I found the 222 perfect for you job. Simple set up, turns on when the engine starts, turns of when the engine stops, good picture quality. Like the clever connection, snaps on and off to the windscreen holder leaving the power cable on place, no unplugging necessary. Fix and forget, or snap off and tuck in the glove compartment.
Easy to set up and easy to install. Even comes with a trim tool to make life easier hiding the wires. Image quality is good and hasn’t failed to switch on or record so far.
Good price for front and rear recording only gripe is cable length supplied for rear camera is too short I fitted it to Hyundai Tucson and it wasn’t really long enough.but yes I still recommend this produc
This is a brilliant little dashcam. I’ve bought 3 now for cars in our family. Quick and easy to install/set up and the magnetic mount is excellent for easy/quick removal.
A great camera with good features. As a first time driver reversing can be a little bit of a pain especially when the mirrors on the car make it look like the car behind you is inches away when in reality it’s a few feet still so the reversing camera is a massive help
Dash cam is great but it should be supplied with a suction cup mount. The mount supplied won’t say on the sticky pad and just keeps falling off.
I bought the 222XR and 322GW dashcams, so this review covers some advanced points with hits and tips.
The 222XR pack comes with the ‘Rear WINDOW Camera’ which connects to the front dashcam via a proprietary connector. The rear camera mount uses a 3M pad to affix to the window with the camera affixing to the mount using a strong magnet which makes angling it simple. Pro tip: this rear camera is compatible with 622GW, 522GW, 422GW, 322GW, it is NOT compatible with the 322GW which instead uses the ‘Rear VIEW Camera’ or ‘CABIN View Camera’ models. 222XR does not have GPS so it doesn’t overlay your location or speed on its recorded video.
Picture quality of both camera is excellent and identical as far as I can see. Both take pictures as well as video and protect files automatically.
Both come with two 3M adhesive pads affixed to small plastic ‘plates’, these are useful if you want to move your camera and mount between vehicles as you simply slide the ‘Click & Go Mount’ out.
Pro tip: Although the ‘Click & Go Mount’ looks the same on both cameras the 322GW one additionally contains the GPS chip so for GPS to work you MUST use the 322GW with its mount.
The dashcam itself is attached to the ‘Click & Go Mount’ using a strong magnet which makes removing the camera from the vehicle quick and simple, it’s also helped by the power going into the mount and not the camera so no fiddly reconnecting wires. You also get a tool to help you fit the cables and a ‘ferrite power cable attachment’ to stop electronical noise from your vehicle interfering with the camera. It’s these little touches of thought that makes you appreciate Nextbase.
Pro tip: The MyNextbase Player from Nextbase is free and works with both dashcams, for the GPS data it additionally shows the speed, G forces and Google Maps overlay, it also has a video editor.
If you are the person who just wants to plugin and go – the Quick Start Guide in the box is good enough, but if you are going to use features such as Parking Mode, Dual Files, Alerts etc. you will be scratching your head on what exactly these are. Go on to the Nextbase website’s Support page and download the much more details (60 pages) User Manuals.
Only had this a few weeks so bear that in mind. Once out of the box it is IMPERATIVE that you charge the dashcam for a couple of hours so that it can retain the internal date/time. Then you connect the bits together which, even without instructions would be fairly obvious, and then position it in your car. This has a sticky pad, rather than a suction pad (which I absolutely don’t like), and so it’s very easy to stick it in the position you want. Mine uses the USB connection in my car and it’s working great. It feels real quality in the hand and I’m hopeful it will prove to be a long-lasting quality purchase. The instructions that come with it aren’t the best but like I say, it’s so simple to set up. It’s very small in size but that’s a good thing – you don’t want it dominating your windscreen. I haven’t viewed any recordings yet so can’t comment on those. I’m very happy that, several weeks in, it shows the correct date & time when I start the car. My previous dashcam (from China) stopped doing this after only a few days.
This is a simple Dash Cam with very good quality video. It doesn’t have GPS and some of the more sophisticated functions but it is easy to use, simple to fit and does the job for a very competitive price.
Only problem is that the magnetic coupling system is very strong and makes it tricky to remove from the mounting system. If you are going to remove the camera every time you use it then you may want to look elsewhere. Recommended
Pros
Very simple to use. Easy menu system and buttons for all the main functions. Just start the car and it automatically starts and then stops (default setting) when the car ignition is turned off.
Good quality video for day and night driving with good wide angle view.
Easy to fit. I am not very practical but I fitted the camera within five minutes.
Very stable and reliable mounting system with very little camera shake.
Has a parking mode allowing the camera to be left on when the car is unattended.
Has a quick save button, so that vital video is not lost during an incident.
USB lead supplied to connect to PC.
Good quality piece of kit for the price.
Cons
Difficult to detach from the mount so if you need to remove every time you use it then look elsewhere.
No GPS so position and speed not recorded.
