Product Information

Please turn Parking Mode off and turn Screen Saver off as these could interfere with the test results. Putting cheaper cards in a Canon 5D DSLR for instance would affect performance so logic would dictate getting the best because the hardware is so hi-tech. The alternative is a hard-wired wiring set up; hooking the power mount into the ignition circuit and keeping the wires out of sight. From there, you can navigate through the options and make adjustments to settings such as video resolution, loop recording, and other preferences. It’s far quicker and easier to simply plug the dash camera or SD Card into a computer, rather than connecting via a smartphone.

Whether you wish to send footage directly to your insurance company, share on social media or back it up elsewhere, the app provides a fast and secure connection to your smartphone over wi-fi using improved chipset technology. It is essential that you format your SD card every 2-3 weeks to delete the Protected filed and free up space on your memory card for new recordings. Neither the 122 or 222 are compatible with the rear or cabin view add on modules, however there is a 222X version which includes a rear window camera with a telescopic lens that records the rear window through the cabin. The software suite includes full editing capabilities, allowing you to find that important section of footage without the need to download separate editing software.The internal hardware and software are where you’ll find the major differences as it’s the first in the series that features WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity, that’s where the GW comes from. All slightly confusing, but more importantly the new app is much better for reviewing video directly from the dash cam. The new interface is simplified, with far fewer confusing icons on screen and presenting four main options when you tap on the settings cog.

This means you have four videos for each recorded minute: two for the front camera and two for rear. Microphones in the 422GW pick up your voice, and the dash cam uses Bluetooth to communicate with your phone. This enables you to quickly provide evidence to authorities or insurance companies, simplifying the claims process. If you upgrade to a Series 2 Camera, there are 3 different Series 2 Rear Cameras that are all compatible with the 322GW, 422GW, 522GW and 622GW.To benefit from these improvements and updates, please check your Dash Cam's firmware and update it if there's an update available. There is a new GPS system which runs at 10Hz, so it means your position is recorded 10 times per second. The 412GW records in high definition 1080p, ensuring clear and crisp footage, even in low light conditions.

With its sleek design and compact size, it can be easily installed and positioned on your car's windshield, offering a discreet and unobtrusive look.When I bought the 412gw I understood that 32gb and 3 hours recording were the max and I was happy with that so 32 or 64gb are fine with me, its rare that I drive for more than 2 hours at a time anyway. Please check in your phone’s settings that all the app permissions are enabled for both the MyNextbase Connect and Alexa apps. Compatible with the following Nextbase models: 222, 322GW, 422GW, 522GW and 622GW, including Rear Cam Modules.

I think you should always get the best you can when it comes to any camera be it a dashcam or a DSLR photography camera. b) Stop it recording by pressing the red circle in the bottom left hand corner of the dash cam's screen. The Hard Wire Kit will allow the camera to draw nominal current from the car's battery, preventing the cam's battery from being drained. This can be a bit sensitive when driving on a rough road, but the function can be disabled or its sensitivity reduced. The GPS allows you to see where the footage was filmed which can be seen side by side with the footage itself, it also records speed which could help in any accidents or insurance claims.

In our early testing, there was a bug which meant the SOS became disabled in the app and we had to enable it each time we got into the car. Please check that your Camviewer app is on the latest version available and that your phone has Wi-Fi turned on. If good video quality is really important to you, or you what features such as slow motion playback, then opt for a higher tier device.
