Picture Quality, spectacular!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Upgraded from Viofo A129 Plus
||Posted .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.

Good unit
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.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.

Posted .Hello Tim,
Thank you for your review, we do not currently have a way of flipping the rear image using our MyNextbase Connect or MyNextbase Player app. The best thing I can recommend is downloading the footage onto a computer and using third party software to flip the footage. I've passed on your feedback to our Development Team to consider adding onto the app. Thanks for your time, if you need any help with anything please give us a call on +1 800 2805 178.

Waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.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.

Posted .Hello Yani, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We really appreciate your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed after opening the camera's box.

YouTube POV
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.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.

Q: QuestionI live in Phoenix AZ. Even with my windows cracked, I expect that the electronics will become fried during the summer. Can these be quickly removed and installed?
Asked by decipherit.
- A:Answer Nextbase's answer was not consistent with their user manual which states: - Do not leave the device exposed to a heat source or in a high-temperature location, such as in the sun or in an unattended vehicle. To prevent the possibility of damage, remove the Dash Cam from the vehicle or store it out of direct sunlight, such as in the glove box. - Do not operate the Dash Cam outside of the following temperature range: from -20° to 45°C (from -4° to 113°F).

Q: QuestionIn my friends car I have noticed when the car is still on but not moving the camera automatically shuts off. How to keep the camera running if the vehicle is also running ? If the car is on but not moving camera should also stay on how to fix.
Asked by JJ.
- A:Answer Hello JJ, The camera has Parking Mode activated. For Parking Mode, if the camera is completely still for five minutes (the car is parked), then the camera will 'hibernate' in Parking Mode. If your car is bumped and the G Force sensor registers movement then the dash cam will automatically turn on, record for 30 seconds and then shut back down again. If you are unlucky enough to be hit twice in a row then the dash cam would automatically record again and capture both events. Here's some more information about Parking Mode: https://www.nextbase.com/en-gb/dash-cam-features/parking-mode/

Q: QuestionHow many rear cameras can be connected to one front camera? Asking for a semi driver-wanting to attach two rears to side mirrors. Is this possible?
Asked by zoomies99.
- A:Answer No. The NextBase dash cam only accepts ONE rear camera. For what you want to do, look at the HaloView RD7 and the HaloView CA112 camera system for RVs. It will give you a REAR camera and two SIDE cameras with exceptional video quality. The side cameras replace side marker lights, so you remove the original side markers and install the CA 112 left and right cameras in their place. We put these on a 38 foot motorhome and are VERY pleased with the results.

Q: QuestionCan you disable the Emergency SOS feature? I plan to purchase this for someone who’s not technically savvy, and I’m concerned they won’t know how to interact/respond to this feature if it’s mistakenly triggered.
Asked by J.

It goes through a system of 3 sperate warnings before contacting the emergency services. This feature can be turned off/disabled via the menu settings option though if not needed. Thanks, Nextbase

Q: QuestionI own a 2020 Ram 1500 with the fuse block under the hood. Can the hard wire kit be used on my truck? Will the Geek Squad install the hard wire kit for me?
Asked by Doc701.
- A:Answer Hi Doc, The hardwire kit contains all the components required to easily “piggyback” from a fuse box of any vehicle. Simply plug the required fuse tap cable into the vehicle’s fuse box,to provide the camera with its own power supply. This allows the Dash Cam to be installed in your vehicle without the need to use the 12V outlet (car cigarette socket). The cable also includes a blue LED indicator to show when there is power available and also when a Dash Cam is connected. If fitted to a "permanent live" supply, the inbuilt minimum voltage limiter will protect the vehicle's battery from going flat. With the Hardwire Kit installed on a "switched live" supply, the Dash Cam will power on and start recording automatically when the vehicle is opened or starts. Compatible with 12-24V for car or truck installations You'll have your choice to tap a fuse which dependent on the ignition for power, or an independent fuse which will provide 24/7 Dash Cam security when your car is off and in park. The Hardwire kit includes a voltage meter, so that it quits drawing power from a low car battery, this way you never arrive to a dead car. Includes: 5V Mini USB power cable, 2 Amp ATO/C fuse (standard), 2 Amp ATM fuse (mini), Fuse tap table (standard), Fuse tap cable ATM (mini) and Ferrite core to remove DAB interference. Geek Squad is available to install any dash cam for the price of $59.99. This includes installation of a Front Camera, Rear Camera (optional), and Hardwire kit (optional). If you choose to install yourself, the new model 2020 Ram 1500 requires a new mini2 fuse, which is not currently included inside the box, but Nextbase will ship you this item if you email: Sales@nextbase.com. Alternatively, the geek squad will have a dongle in their possession.
