I’ve had forward facing dashcams in the past that have initially done a pretty good job for the short time I’ve had them.
However, although these might be pretty well priced and do a decent job for sub 100, they’ve never lasted that long.
My last one managed 2 years before starting with problems with its suction mount, causing problems with my 64Gb SD card, and finally its charging connection started falling apart.
So having read up about several makes/models, I took the plunge with buying this 622 4K, with the optional rear facing camera.
Impressed is a bit of an understatement.
It’s excellent.
The image quality at 4K is stunning. The forward facing camera can record at various HD settings, upto 4K 30fps.
Because this bundle includes the rear camera, I bought it.
The rear only records at 1080p, full HDand to be honest, it’s good enough to see what’s going on behind, including those dangerous drivers who insist on tailgating.
The software from Nextbase to view your recordings, is also very good and both camera recording can be viewed very easily.
I particularly like the strong magnetic mount connections, meaning that you can leave the mounts permanently in place, and just attach/detach the cameras with ease.
Installation was easy. Only took 20 – 30 minutes to connect both.
Just take your time in hiding the wiring. It’ll be worth it in the end.
One final thought.
As the camera does record in 4K, not only do you need a large capacity micro SD card (I’d advise at least a 64Gb one), but you need to follow Nextbase’s advice on the type.
And don’t be tempted to buy a cheap unbranded one. It’s false economy.
The seller was very good to deal with.
