It's decent
I recently moved out of state and wanted to get a cheap little dash cam just in case anything happened. As previous reviews have said, the 322 isn't going to get you license plate numbers or fine details but you'll be able to get the basic idea of what was happening. The time stamps are in day/month/year sequence on the videos. When it records, it's in one-minute increments and it creates two final recordings- one labeled FL at about 20,500 KB and one labeled FH at about 150,000 KB (for each minute recorded). I bought a Samsung ProEndurance 64 GB SD card to go with it and it was when footage got to around 6 hours 15 minutes that it started to go back and delete the first recordings to make room for the new ones. I'm not sure if the screen flashed or notified of the SD card being full, because I was driving, but luckily nothing happened so it wasn't too much of a loss that the first five hours of the drive are gone. *The screenshot I took from a video is tinted blue because I positioned the camera right at the top of my windshield.

Just as good, half the price
Was unhappy with the 622. 422 and 522 wasn't available so I got the 322. Depending on how it will be used, this provided good enough images

Next base dash cam
Great quality for how inexpensive it is. Already saved another driver by sending them a video of an accident they were involved in. Easy, affordable great product. Audio is great, video is great. (Photos are screenshots of a meteor falling to earth that I got on my dash cam)

Another Home Run From Nextbase…
I am already using an earlier model Nextbase dash camera, so I was very excited to give this new model a try in another one of my vehicles. I am happy to report that Nextbase has once again, Nextbase has rolled out a top notch product. If you are wanting a high performance 1080P dash camera, look no further than the Nextbase 322GW. My personal preference is to use a 1080P camera over a 4K one because of the reduced file size of 1080P. While 4K provides sharper videos, the higher resolution comes at the expense of much larger file sizes. 108P provides more than adequate resolution to capture detailed video recordings that can clearly make out numbers and letters of a license plate when zoomed. At some point compression technology and SD card improvements will make 4K the current 1080P, but for right now I prefer to use 1080P. Regarding video quality, the video recordings it captures are outstanding. The 1080P videos are very detailed, clear, and sharp.The 140 degree wide angle lens records with a somewhat fish bowl effect of course , but very effectively captures most everything in front of and slightly to the side of the front of the vehicle. The dash camera is straightforward to set up and operate. Simply connect it to the 12V car charger and the camera will do the rest. Just make sure that you have it angled optimally to capture the biggest sight picture. The camera has such a small footprint, that I mostly forget that it is even there.. Included are most of the accessories needed to use and mount the dash camera, except for a memory card. A high speed U3 memory card is required. I am using a 64GB card that holds about 8 hours of recording before earring over older footage. It is compatible with 128GB memory cards, which can hold 16 hours of footage. The camera records on a loop and when the memory card gets full, it automatically writes over older footage. The camera can be mounted to the windshield using either a suction cup or an adhesive attachment mount. Both mounts attach magnetically to the camera and make for an easy and strong attachment method. I prefer to use the suction cup mount because it gives me the flexibility to move the camera very easily from vehicle to vehicle. I like this flexibility since I often drive rentals. The suction mount creates a suitably strong connection, but I recommend removing and reattaching it at least once a month since the suction vacuum will lose force over time and eventually fail. Instead of the adhesive strip provided, I would use heavy duty double sided velcro, so it would be easier to remove the camera from the windshield and mount in other vehicles. The settings menu can be used to configure many of the camera's features such as video clip length, video resolution, time/date stamp on or off, GPS coordinates stamp on or off, speed stamp on or off, and audio on or off. I personally keep the audio turned off most of the time for my privacy, and the privacy of my passengers who don't appreciate having their conversations recorded. For myself most of the benefit of a dash camera is derived from recording what is going on on the road around my vehicle. This dash camera is compatible with other Nextbase modules that can expand the capabilities of this already capable camera. I am using it with an optional Rear Window Camera module that snaps right into the camera and can be controlled by this dash cam and share the same memory card. The camera can be used with or without the App and is Bluetooth and Wi-Fi capable. I tested the App and it functions well, but you don’t have to use the App unless you want to use the camera wirelessly. The App somewhat reminds me of the Ring App in form and function. I don’t need to access the camera wirelessly, so I won’t be using the App and when I need to copy the footage I remove the memory card and transfer the files that way so I can have the highest resolution. The wireless connections only allow lower resolution transfers in the App. This camera creates files in the universal MP4 format, which makes it simple to transfer files from the card to a computer. Whatever your reason for wanting a dash camera, I can highly recommend the Nextbase - 322GW Dash Cam. It has greatly impressed me with it’s high quality video recordings and reliable operation.
