Once the vehicle is turned off and you access live view on your phone, it may take a few seconds to load as the camera remotely wakes up, but it will be available anytime. If there is anything else we can help you with, please let us know!
A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us. Yes, with the IQ models, once you subscribe, your plan includes cloud storage for your videos for either 30 or 180 days, depending on the option you've selected.

Depending on the size of your SD card, videos may be stored for 1 to 16 hours before the camera starts overwriting older files.

Some jurisdictions regulate or prohibit use of this device.
This advanced model offers 4-channels each w/ 1080p resolution, which is a unique advantage not many dash cam owners can boast. You can eliminate all blind spots by setting up your camera to record your front, rear, left and right view as you drive. Or, you can choose to point the left and right cameras w/ built-in IR lights to capture your cabin view, making for a fully customizable experience. To take your camera to an even higher level, we recommend using our CPL filter to reduce the glare caused by street lights and headlights. ***If a hardwire kit was not included wih your purchase, please contact [email protected].

Decent dash cam
The dashcam is decent. I'm able to look at some clips of events that occurred on the app, but I am not able to review full drives from the app. I would need to remove the SD card and review on a computer. The video on the app looks choppy, but it looks fine on a computer. I purchased this after having a Ring dashcam, where I was able to review entire driving events from within the app, but this does not do this.

Advanced Dashcam and With Outstanding Features
This unit has technology far advanced from my other dashcams. I have used several brands including an earlier Nextbase unit. Nextbase units do have a higher quality construction, so a tip of the cap to the engineers for their use of excellent materials as well as their functional design features. The innovation in this unit is extensive. Your initial step is to install the Nextbase IQ app. I did view the video that is linked when you scan a QR code that is included inside the box. Although this install video did say Nextbase IQ app, I installed the Nextbase Connect app instead. The old app does not work with this smart dashcam, so be sure you use the Nextbase IQ app as the video says – my bad. Actually, I did call Nextbase support and in 10 seconds the technician resolved my issue – great support. I simply uninstalled the old app and installed the correct one, just a few seconds. The setup was super easy. There are several subscription levels to select with different levels of functionality. There is a trial period for free, you can also select a free subscription level but I’d recommend one of the pay levels to get access to many very powerful and very useful functions. Installation was simple. This device has its own sim card as well as a 64 GB micro SD card. The app will walk you through the easy setup. Nextbase included a wired connector to install into your OBDII port under your dash to obtain power. They also included three different fused connectors if you prefer to hard wire the system into your vehicle’s fuse box. I chose the OBDII connector, which is the most simple way. A tip I will give is to go buy a splitter for the OBDII port; this will give you a port to connect the dashcam power and will also allow the dealership to still have an open port for their diagnostic testing if needed. Each install will be unique as to attaching the dashcam to your windshield. The unit uses a 3M adhesive which is super strong – the dashcam won’t fall off as sometimes happens with suction mounts; so smart design point from the Nextbase engineers. I’ve attached a photo of where I decided was the ideal spot for my Toyota Highlander. In my case There was very little restriction of my road-view as it was placed next to and behind the rear view mirror on the passenger side of the vehicle (see my photo). When you first drive you will see status codes displayed on the small circular screen of the dashcam. If you see a nice red dot, you are recording and all is well.This type of dashcam does not have a screen to view the front or back facing camera images. This is not a problem since you can use your cell phone to display the live stream for both cameras inside the app when you want to. There is a short delay. My previous dashcams had a viewable screen but I never watched the screen while driving of course. This system gives you the ability to view the live stream in the car if you like but more important, when you are away from the vehicle you can ‘wake’ the system up (magic) and view the front and rear facing cameras live while the vehicle is parked somewhere. Giant tip of the cap to the engineers, what a great feature. The images from my 1K version is very sharp. I did remove the micro SD card and watched the MP4 files play perfectly on my laptop. This dashcam can follow voice commands, has night vision and a great 140 degree field of view. There are many advanced features this device is capable of. One such feature is “Witness Mode”. You can simply say “Start Witness Mode” and the device will record everything and also live stream it to a contact you name when you set this feature up – this is truly a smart and innovative safety feature. One other feature I’ll mention is that the smarts inside this device can be used to measure the speed and location of several vehicles in case you need that info to protect you if there is an accident - amazing. The dashcam can update its firmware over the online connection via 4G. Depending on your choice of monthly plan some features are not available. I do recommend you check the plans and features all out, and then decide on the right protection and information you desire. The plan levels are very well thought out, another tip of the cap to the Nextbase designers. I plan to add the rearview camera which connects into a port on this unit to supply power. You will need to run the cable. Now you would have ‘over’ 360 degrees of view relative to your car at any time which can be viewed from anywhere via your cell phone. I can attest to the fact that Nextbase has an excellent customer support structure. I highly recommend this state of the art, innovative, high quality and very smart dashcam.
