Nextbase - 4K 622GW Dual Channel Front & Rear Cam with 32GB SD, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth & Night Vision, Image Stabilization, SOS - Black

I'm very happy with the ease of use and video quality. The only drawback is it doesn't keep charged for long but that is to be expected with 4k. This is my second Nextbase and I like the ability to plug in the rear view or cabin cam into the main unit. Installation at Reading, PA was also top notch.

Everything you need and more is in the box minus any tools you need if you’re hard wiring (like wire strippers). I like that it gives you the option to hard wire as well as having the 12v accessory power option. I personally went for the 12v accessory option just because I am actively planning on updating my transportation and want to be able to remove it easily when the time comes. Installing it was pretty easy, I just slid it underneath the trim and fed it through the different holes to get the front down to the power and the rear camera to the back. I had about quite a bit extra (maybe around 5 feet or so) to the back but my current ride is a compact hatch back so depending on your vehicle your extra length may vary. It comes with an extra piece of tape for the front and rear cameras which is awesome for switching cars, but I definitely didn’t need it for the inability for the first set of tape not to stick, I wiped off the surfaces and it stuck perfectly and has remained in place without an issue. I did need to restart the camera to get it to recognize the rear camera, so just be aware of that. For the usability of the camera. It has Alexa built in, I’m not sure I really understand the purpose of it, you can ask her to start recording and stuff, but I really just have the camera on and let it run anytime I’m driving, that way if anything ever happens it is for sure recorded. The included SD card is large enough that I’m not worried about any event getting lost before I download it from the camera. Your phone can connect directly to the camera versus having to unplug the SD card from the camera and put it in a laptop. I thought at first it was auto transferring but it wasn’t, just showing you all the videos available. It’s nice to be able to connect to it with the phone in a pinch but I don’t mind the SD approach at all. The video quality is great and it auto turns on whenever I get in my card and starts recording. It has been running seamlessly since I installed it. Overall, it does it’s job and I can kind of just forget it even exists until I need it and it is already working for me at that point.

The Nextbase 622GW is great dash cam that has everything you need to get set up, right inside the box. The 622GW can be hardwired using the included wire kit, or if your car has a 12v port then you can use the included 12v power cord. The main unit can attach to the windshield using the GPS mount, the rear camera connects to the main camera with an HDMI mini cable. The main dash cam has only 1 physical button, everything is now controlled by the touchscreen. The one button that’s on the front of the main camera is perhaps one of my favorite features, and that the ability to lock and save the current clip being recorded. To me this is an essential function that needs to be in every dash cam. Lastly, the dash cam comes with a 32gb SD card to store video clips manually on the device. The Nextbase app is a very useful app for the dashcam, as it allows you to connect directly to your camera via WiFi and Bluetooth and transfer videos, edit videos, or even get a live view of your camera. The app looks good and is very user friendly, best of all it’s all free. The 622GW is capable of filming 4K video up to 30fps, which looks pretty impressive when playing back on a compatible device. There are plenty of useful features that the cam has built-in which can be toggled on/off…The ability to use Amazon Alexa, I could see how this would be useful for some, but I didn’t need it so I never used it. The image stabilizing, (which is turned off by default) is a great and useful feature that makes your videos a lot less shaky. Extreme weather mode makes it easier to see video in extreme weather. Intelligent Parking Mode is another feature that I really like, this allows you dashcam to detect if something hits your car while its parked and automatically starts recording. Luckily, I haven’t had to test this out yet. Overall, I really like the Nextbase 622GW dashcam. I think Nextbase makes some of the best dashcams on the market, they video quality is great, they are very user friendly, not to mention they are jammed packed with amazing features. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a premium dashcam.
