The best just got better with the new Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam. With an abundance of new features and world’s firsts, the 622GW is the most accurate, powerful and highest image quality Dash Cam in the market today. Ultra-clear 4K recording at 30fps captures those all-important finer details, with recording at 1440p HD at 60fps or 1080p HD at 120fps for super slow motion available. An improved sensor ensures enhanced night vision on even the darkest roads. Image quality is at the forefront of the Dash cam revolution, with Image stabilization reducing vibrations from your vehicle and improving footage clarity. Another first for Nextbase is Extreme Weather Mode, to provide a clearer image in misty conditions using special defogging algorithms, crucial for winter and night-time driving. The 622GW is the world’s first Dash Cam to include what3words. This provides your exact location to a 3m square location without the need for a data connection, crucial for emergency services to precisely locate you. Coupled with Emergency SOS and Alexa Built-In, the 622GW shows its further ahead the field with technology advancements. Increased connectivity for transferring footage to your mobile phone is key with new built-in Bluetooth 5.0 and Hyper-Sync Wi-Fi 5GHz speeds are up to 10x faster. This ensures syncing times with the MyNextbase Connect app (IoS 12.1 or later and Android 5.1 and up). The 622GW is compatible with any Nextbase Rear View Module, to offer-all around protection, whilst crucially maintaining front 4K image quality, with 1080p full HD rear recordings. The 622GW features all the much loved Nextbase features including Intelligent Parking Mode, high accuracy 10x GPS readings, a 3” HD IPS touch screen and the fully patented Click&Go PRO mount design, for the ultimate Dash Cam user experience. Note- For this product a U3 class Nextbase microSD card is required (Not included). The ability to maintain a high WRITE speed consistently is what Nextbase SD cards are designed to do better than any other SD card. Any drop/fluctuation in WRITE speed within the SD card causes the Dash Cam footage to buffer, and in some cases will stop the recording entirely. Our Nextbase SD card controller and Firmware on the SD card achieves the requirements from our Dash Cam, where other SD cards cannot. Due to the continuous recording and overwriting of the card, the SD card needs to be a high-endurance card, otherwise the card may develop faults after a period of time; if a lower-capability card is used, certain features on the camera will not fully function due to being unable to re-write and record. Nextbase has over 3 million dash cams sold, 115 unique patents, custom designed processors and improved sensors which record fast moving objects in perfect picture clarity for day and night time driving. Auto adjusts contrast and brightness to further improve the footage details in the event of an accident. Save time, money, and ease with Nextbase Dash Cams.

After watching their advertisement for this IQ cam I guess I was hoping for it to work as advertised. Not at all, it doesn't even read license plates of cars that are literally in front of me, I decided to buy another IQ but this time I went with the 4K, I thought this would resolve my issues of clarity and quality. WRONGGGGG, I have both IQ cams, 1k on my wife's car and the 4K on my truck, LET ME TELL YOU GUY'S, THEIR IS NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER IN VIDEO QUALITY. I WISH I CAN ADD THE VIDEOS HERE AS PROOF. To make things worse, I've been trying to contact customer service that doesn't exist, thru phone the line is always busy and it hangs up after 5seconds, thru chat it's a bot that doesn't answer any questions and thru email, well I'm still waiting for a response....... I'll we wait one more week before I return this 2 junk cams. I have it to 2 ⭐ because you do get notifications if you subscribe to a $10 or $20 per month.

Adds a rear-facing, rear-mounted camera to the iQ’s two built-in cameras. Now your iQ will record all three views so you always know what’s in front, inside and behind your vehicle. Plus, it adds a rear-facing motion sensor for all-around parking awareness. Easy to install and fully integrated to enhance your dash cam’s capabilities and your peace-of-mind whether driving or parked. Highlights: * Records in 1440p (same as the iQ 2K’s front camera) * Wide 140 degree field of view. * Has a built-in motion sensor. * Has subtle status lights that match those on the main dash cam. * Easy single-cable installation. * Flexible mounting with a ball-joint. * Long enough cable (7.5m/24.5’) for even the largest vehicle. * Includes extra mounting adhesive disc if needed. * Includes trim tool and wire mounting clips for a clean installation. Room for Improvement: * The right-angle USB-C plug on the end could make it more challenging to thread through tight spaces. * Cable cannot be detached from the rear camera. Setup: Installation of the Rear Window Camera (RWC) is relatively easy to wire up. As is typical of additional cameras like this, the most time-consuming part of the installation is in cleanly hiding the wire that connects the camera at the rear of the vehicle to the main dash cam at the front of the vehicle. In my case, it took me less than 5 minutes to wire up the camera and another hour to neatly thread and hide the single USB-C cable that connects the dash cam to the RWC. The single USB-C cable provides data and power between the dash cam and the RWC. Threading that single cable made it easier than if there were several cables. I positioned the RWC loosely on my rear window in the general area but didn’t stick it to the glass yet. I then started working the wire from the back to the front and tucking it behind headliners and other panels. Once the cable made its way up to the front, I plugged it in to the dash cam and started the setup in the iQ app to add the RWC and use the app’s live video feed to assist in framing the video before doing the final attachment of the RWC to the glass. Setup with the app was fast and easy. After plugging in the cable and telling the app to add the RWC, the iQ quickly recognized the RWC and showed me a live video feed so I could frame up the video and position the RWC while looking at my phone’s app. There is a lot of flexibility in the ball joint on the RWC’s mount so it wasn’t necessary to perfectly position it - just get it close and then move the camera around on its mount until the framing is perfect. That ball joint is firm enough to hold the camera in position through the roughest of driving. In my Polestar 2, there was quite a bit of excess cable so I just tucked it in behind a panel in the trunk. Most likely there is more than enough length for even the largest vehicle. Now that the RWC is plugged in and the cable is hidden and looking clean, I can start checking out the app’s new third camera feed and settings. Usage: The iQ dash cam has 2 built-in cameras; a front-facing and an interior-facing. There are also motion sensors in the main dash cam to detect things near your vehicle or inside it. The RWC not only adds a third camera but also adds another rear-facing motion sensor toward the back of the vehicle. Once you connect the RWC, you can adjust the dash cam’s settings and motion sensitivity to accommodate this additional camera. The two main settings to update once you get the RWC connected are the Exposure and Proximity settings. I generally don’t have the Proximity set to very far away from the car so I don’t get a lot of false alarm push notifications when parked. You can now set the rear-facing proximity with the RWC installed, and adjust the exposure of the video for that camera if needed. On the main screen, all three video thumbnails now show images whereas only two had content before the RWC was installed. When viewing “live” video from the iQ, you can also now toggle between all three video angles, and when viewing Events, Library or Downloaded video, all three cameras are now available. The only thing to consider when you have the third camera (the RWC) installed is that your storage card will now be saving video from three rather than two cameras, so it might be worth considering a card storage upgrade to keep more recordings from all three cameras. Overall: Easy to install and adds a third camera view and additional motion sensor to the iQ dash cam. No complaints and everything has been working great since installation. The parking security feature now has views out the rear as well as motion sensing back there.

Stay away for the moment Nextbase needs to workout ALL the bugs. Sometimes it records and sometimes it doesn't. When it records the video quality is good. Combined this with the price of the front windshield camera all the current bugs aren't worth the hassle. Hopefully Nextbase will get this together in the future. But for the moment let this bake a bit longer.
