Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got this camera to use with my Nextbase 322 GW Dash Cam. I chose this model because I wanted to have rear video coverage, but did not want to install a stand alone unit in the rear of my car. Installation was as simple as snapping it into the port of the dash cam. I had to reboot the camera for it to recognize, but once restarted I was immediately up and running. After installation the touch screen layout changed to include an option to toggle to the rear view and back. I have attached photos to show what it now looks like. When joined both the front and rear cameras are limited to 1080P 30FPS. I did not find this to be a problem because the video quality is sharp and clear. Vehicles, people and even license plates are easily captured. The rear facing camera captures video that is similar in perspective to what is seen when looking into the rear view mirror. It uses a telephoto lens with a 30 degree field of view that leaves some gaps in the side. After I connected both cameras I received a message that the SD Card I was using was not a U3 card and could not be used. It now requires a SD Card that is UHS Speed 3 and SD Speed 10. I am using it with a 128 GB SD Card and am getting 8 hours of front and 8 hours (16 hours total) of rear recording time. So remember that since there are two cameras and it only takes one SD Card, the normal recording time is half since the cameras are sharing the SD Card. This companion unit to the Nextbase Dash Cam suits my needs perfectly. Even though the rear recorded image is not as complete as a stand alone camera because of the side gaps, the convenience and simplicity is more than worth the trade off.

Great addition to a great dashcam. Added it to my 622gw, and works as expected. No fussing, just attached it and aimed it and it works. Very small footprint (see pics)

I recently purchased a Nextbase 322GW dash camera, and a large part of the reason I chose it was due to the availability of this rear-view camera module. No other dashcam (that I am aware of) offers this type of option and I wanted to be able to monitor traffic behind me as well as in front. The problem is that I drive a convertible, and most dashcams with a rear camera attach to the back window - obviously not an option when you have a convertible. There are some dashcams that offer a rear camera that can mount outside (like off the license plate bracket) but those require a lot more tricky wiring through the trunk, etc. This Nextbase solution is so much easier! Pros: Simple to install. Worked right away. Some users report having to restart the dashcam to recognize the camera, but that's not a big deal. Good picture. The lens is telephoto, so it does not capture the driver or passenger - it aims directly out the rear window. The lens itself is on a swivel - You can make fine adjustments to the angle of view without repositioning the camera. Cons: Makes the dashcam physically larger. It's not huge, but you will have to fiddle with the location to make sure the front camera has a good view, the rear camera has a good view, and the camera itself does not block your forward view or mirror. If you think you might add a camera module to your Nextbase, do not install the adhesive mount until you test it with the module! Otherwise you might end up having to unstick it and move it. Rear camera resolution is not identical to the front camera resolution - With my 322GW, I get 1080p from the front camera but only 720p from the rear. With the more expensive Nextbase dashcams, you can get 1080p from the rear camera but I assume it's limited by the write speed to the microSD card. Expensive - Although I really like this rear-view camera, it seems pretty pricey for what it is. I feel like a better price point would be no more than $50. In fact I've read that in Europe it sells for closer to that price. Nether Pro nor Con: Compatibility: The rear camera modules do not work with every single Nexbase dashcam. Basically the 322GW is the least-expensive model they work with. In short - I'm very pleased with this rear-view camera. It does exactly what I wanted it to do and works well. My biggest knock is the price, but I'm not aware of any similar product out there that gives you a rear view without the installation issues.

Great video quality but no option to zoom in or out. Note: you can’t record at 1440p if you add this on but you can still do 1080p 60fps front view and 1080p 30fps for the rear facing cam. Very simple, just plug and play.

Excellent camera. Takes up little space and gives decent view behind my vehicle. Easy to set up and use.

Added this unit a year after purchasing the base. The app is horrible but I do love the fact that I can just download what I need from the SD card or patiently waiting for the app. Crystal clear will record cars from behind and can capture back seat action if need. But not much. Will be purchasing another one when my kid turns 16 and start driving.

This works great as a simple to add rearview camera without doing additional wiring. The field of view is a little distant looking through the back rear windshield, but the picture is very clear.

We have Nextbase dashcams in both my wife's car and my car. I wanted to add a rearview camera, but was balking at running wiring under the headliner to a camera mounted on the rear window. Having a camera mounted on the rear window also seemed like one more thing to distract me while driving. I was a bit skeptical of a plug in telephoto rear camera, but it's worked well in my car. My wife's car(small hatchback) has the small, constrained vision rear window that's become stylish in these cars and it does limit the field of view for the rear camera - something to consider. One thing to note, although the rear view shows up in a corner of the on-screen display, the front and rear recordings are separate.

We go the rear facing telephoto view camera to add-on to the 522GW so we can see traffic issues behind the car and if there is an incident, to get the license plate of any car that might be involved. This little extra can do that and makes it easy to identify other vehicles behind our car. It is nice to know we are protected in case of an accident, or other issue where identification of a vehicle is involved. 30 seconds to connect to main camera, works right out of the box... Cool!

It works exactly like it supposed to. The installation was very simple and it works well. The quality of the camera is pretty decent for the size.

Great back view camera attached to the lateral side to the front camera. Very easy to set up. High-quality video.

This is the attachment that is a must when you purchase the camera I was involved in a accident and the police reviewed it and found me not at fault. If I did not have it it would of been my word against his

Plug and play. And easy to set up. Nextbase good job.

Great quality for the size. Easy to use, install and very convenient. I highly recommend it as an add on for the camera.

Good camera for rear view protection. Super easy to install.

This rear facing camera is good to have, because it also picks up what you are saying in the cab of your car, so maybe if there also some road rage incident and they come to your car the whole conversation will be picked up.

This nextbase rear view camera is great. Easy to install and very clear.

Nextbase makes 2 different 'rear facing cameras'. with 2 different lenses. This one is recording the cars behind you, not the cabin. Also, the adapter/plug is for the newer cameras and it won't connect to older models.

So this thing zooms to focus out the back window clearly. Cool touch is that the lens is adjustable within the module housing. Allows the ability to aim the front facing cam where you want then point the lens of the rear facing cam module accordingly. Picture quality is great.

This rear-facing camera is plug and play and had a great picture.
