5 Star….Once You Get it to Work
So i read a number of reviews before i purchased tbis camera. I wanted the best camera out there, and i also wanted access to the features that Nextbase offers in the iQ. I was disappointed that the reviews were so wishy-washy. The price point is high, obviously. But once you get this thing working, BOY is it worth it!! I have the 4k with the rearvew camera as well. The install was easy, but the setup was a bit of a challenge. To setup, initially you scan a QR code on the camera. It downloads a firmware update and then finishes the install. Only, the update would ‘download’ and then fail to complete. After a bit of frustration and headache, I had to remove rhe sd card and format it as the manufacturer instructed. Once i did that, the setup was a cinch. I’ve had no issues with the pairing of the rearview camera, as others have stated. It all works great! I’d give it 5 stars of the setup wasn’t a bit of a challenge. BUT you do get what you pay for here. Of course, there is a fee to use all of the features…$20/month. But for the security, peace of mind, and reliability i think it’s money well spent!

Worth Ever Penny
I went from a Garmin Live to the 4K IQ, hands down, the best purchase. Not only the quality of the video is crisp and clean all the features are amazing. Between Witness Mode, etc you are getting what you pay for. Also, i love the perimeter protection. It was with the OBD port and various size fuse taps which allows you to decide how you want to install the camera.

It’s ok but could be much better
A month review, I have own owlcam and raven very good dash but owlcam is now garbage after they sold the company and raven is good but the dash only lasted a year then customer service Told me they only cover a year. So I give This dashcam A try, in my opinion is not worth almost 700 I mean the video Quality is good but is not wow, there’s times where I can’t see the video is just buffering and one more thing this cam is super sensitive some might like some might not. Another thing I live in San Diego and this cam DOES NOT work in Tijuana witch that’s a thing I didn’t like might consider returning just because of that
