Nextbase - 622GW 4K Dash Cam - Silver

I like it, but I’m not sure if I love it. The picture quality is amazing, the integrated rear camera option works perfect. I wish it was capable of a higher capacity micro sd like a Terabyte. I can not get a full day with the 4k setting, so I lose a lot of good clips on long trips. The app is okay, but I use the player app on my MacBook for the best user experience. I would recommend, but understand that technology is never perfect.

This replaced a Viofo A129 Plus. That was a 2K camera. I didn't go with the 4K then because I was worried about Texas heat and how hot 4k cameras can get. I'll have to see how this holds up come summer. The picture is very good on this. Definitely a step up from the Viofo. Both daytime and night quality is better. The touch screen control is easier to use than the Viofo's buttons too. I used the same hardwired kit I was using for the Viofo, but there is a problem there as it has a low voltage cut off. So when my vehicle stops the engine at a light and then starts it back up there is a voltage drop that makes the hardwired kit shut off power for just really short period. This makes the Nextbase wake up the screen because it switches back to battery like it was powered off. This is strictly an issue from the hardwired kit. I need to find out if the Nextbase kit has a low voltage cut off as well, or some other one out there. And it's only a real issue if you use the screensaver in either off or speed display. If you don't have the screensaver off all you see is the little power icon go from plugged in to battery and back. I docked a star because it no longer comes with a suction cup mount nor the plastic dust cover for the front of the camera. There is now only a cardboard throw away piece there for shipping. I wish I had received both of these, as I prefer not to use a 3M adhesive pad on my windshield. I ordered some static cling clear windshield stickers that you put on the windshield first, then stick the camera mount to the sticker. So far it's holding up fine, and keeps me from having adhesive on the windshield. I also don't like to leave the camera on the windshield when I park in certain places, so the dust cover would have been nice. It does have an extra 3m adhesive mount though so you can move the camera between two cars. The app works fine except for live view, if a bit slow when transferring. In fact the camera will want to save both a high quality and lower quality video file so that you can transfer the lower quality to a phone much faster. On my iPhone 14 I have to turn off cellular to get the live view to work. I have to put the phone in Airplane mode and then turn back on only wifi and then I can see the live view. If I don't do that it's just black. For copying videos I prefer to just take the whole camera off the mount and carry it to a computer. The magnetic mount makes that a breeze. Overall I'm very happy with this. Definitely better than the Viofo, and even better than the BlackVue DR650 I had a while back.

Very reliable unit. The only drawback I find is that it will NOT send a mirror image of the rearview camera to a secondary monitor, i.e., to another smartphone, iPad, etc.

First off the app is terrible, it hardly works with iphones. The live cam only works if you put your iphone into airplane mode. When the camera activates, it somehow prevents iphones from connecting to CarPlay, it also randomly turns your vehicle speaker off. The orher major problem is the camera is so big, when it gets hot the camera just falls off of your windshield. Ive been to geek squad audio installers 4 times, but they just put double sided tape. On the 4th attempt i was forced to go buy gorilla glue tape so the geek squad installer could try something stronger. I dont think i should have had to pay $11 for a roll of tape! The camera still falls, so now i have a useless dash cam.

I’m upset I open this box and the cover has. Alexis of card board which advertised shows a hard plastic clip with the name nextbase. Instead this cardboard piece is protecting the magnetic part? Horrible for $399 you call the customer service says you’re number 1 in place for the longest.. smh doesn’t seem this company is based out of USA. Smh

Decided to go with the 622GW and it does not disappoint. The video quality is amazing, setup is really simple, menu is clear and easy to understand. The sticky pad is extremely strong so make sure you have the exact spot where you want to put it. Audio playback is also high quality. Overall an amazing product.

Unit delaminated in under a month. I was out of town and could not return. I have a 322gw that is a couple of years old and has had no issues.

Got it for a $100 discount & I believe it’s a good product. Switched from the 320xr. As far as video quality it’s much superior, but one thing that I noticed is that the videos have a shake in them, compared to the 320xr which has no shake, even when going over bumps. Also the 320xr camera doesn’t fit into this device. If you’re looking for smooth high frame rate quality videos & very clear license plates, then I suggest this camera, otherwise get the 320xr if you can find it for $100 like I did. It records great footage at 1/5th of the price & includes a back camera. Otherwise you have to spend an extra $100 when getting this. The videos also don’t sync well on this dash cam so if you’re doing YouTube videos you’ll have to do a lot of time tuning for the front & back edits, the 320xr doesn’t have this problem, but again this camera has superior video quality.
