Nextbase 222G GPS Car Dash Cam – 1080p/30fps HD 140° Recording Car Camera Dash Cam with Intelligent Parking, Loop Recording, G-Sensor – Includes GPS Mount, Polarising Filter, 32GB SD Card, Carry Case
For the price, I’m really happy.
I wanted a forward/rear facing camera for my slk and this does the job perfectly. Had it fitted professionally (and glad I did as it wasn’t easy, even for someone who does it for a living) which nearly doubled the price.
I was looking for a while for a dash cam I can use in parking mode without hard wiring it. I have it charging on the lighter plug and it lasts whole night not draining the battery. I do drive every day though, so battery is getting charged a bit day after day. Easy to install, working brilliantly
Bought this one for our car bought previous ones and been using ordinary micro did cards but this one had to have the nextdase so card which was x5 more expensive so if I would have known I wouldn’t have bought i
Easy install and directions clear.
Couple of weeks after install someone ran into the back of her and rear camera caught the lady looking at the floor of her car at time of impact.
She tried it on with my daughter in getting home and downloading the footage it was evident who was at fault and saved any arguments over payment etc.
Some toe rag stole my last camera this one arrived next day delivery, so easy to set up, I think that the polarising lens is an essential addition clear pictures even in the stormy wet conditions in the U.K. just now.
The only very minor niggle the size of the SD card, 32 really is not enough when you do a lot of mileage.
Over all a very good investme
Easy to fit and the video quality is great. A lot more compact then the old 212 camera. The rear camera is easy to adjust so you get a good rear view. The video quality is really good and having a 128gb card is great. If you are already hardwired for the series 1 don’t worry, my camera is working perfectly with existing wiring kit.
I have not fitted the one I bought for my wife however I have fitted the same unit into my grandson car .
So all fitted with both front and rear cameras the pictures are very good not that you want to watch them
as it is a dashcam to record any problems but the recording should be excellent should they be needed .
Wire hiding is fairly straight forward but one has to remember to leave slack to enable opening of the boot.
All in all seems a nice compact and well priced bit of kit .
This dash-cam does not show the vehicle’s speed on the video. And the stick on mount has to go with the car when you sell it. Okay, it comes with two mounts, but I modified the old Nextbase mount, which had a sucker mount, and stuck the new one to that – works fine.
I bought it to replace a cheap foreign one that went wrong. I’m really glad I bought one with two cameras because sometimes the danger approaches from behind. The only negative thing I can say is very occasionally the rear camera view on the two image screen appears to have a purple hue. This rectifys itself next time it’s turned on.
Excellent dash cam, it’s easy to set up and use, small enough to sit next to the rear view mirror without the sun visor blocking the view for rear cam. Well worth it.
I would give this 5 stars but if you have it in motion detection mode, so it springs to life when the engine is off and something happens in front of it it will keep coming on and off all the time. Although, in theory, a great feature it can be a bit annoying as there doesn’t seem to be a way to pause this when you are in the car or even if you take it out of the car. The magnet which attaches it to is base is incredibly strong and can make separating them tricky.
A great car cam all the same – easy to set up and use.
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.
