Q: QuestionIs the night vision clear

Asked 6 years ago by msd.

• A:Answer The night vision is the typical black and white exposure, but it is very sharp and smooth. Keep in mind that the night vision only engages in complete or near complete darkness. If you are driving with your headlights on, or on a well lit road, the night vision does not engage because there is enough light to record in the normal exposure.

Asked 5 years ago by Jeepgal.

• A:Answer Yes you will need it if you want a clean install without wires hanging all over your vehicle. Also, you need an SD card that does NOT come with the dash cam.

Q: QuestionDoes this have to be installed professionally? Is it easy to do without help? When the car is off is it using your car battery to record or can it be charged?

Asked 5 years ago by Lb.

• A:Answer I installed 2 of these myself with no problems. It can be set to record when your car is parked, but needs to be plugged into a live outlet while parked. The camera's battery doesn't last long, so it needs to be plugged in.

Q: QuestionDoes the camera STAY on the windshield? We have one that constantly falls off.

Asked 6 years ago by Twoautrys.

• A:Answer That's my fav thing about this one. The bracket on the window uses some great industrial tape so it stays well attached. Yet the camera pops off if you pull on it just right due to a clever magnet design. We've been off roading a couple of times with no issues. Also it's the base that stays plugged into the power supply so popping off the camera and tossing it in the glovebox is easy.

Q: QuestionDoes this device do time-lapse recording?

Asked 5 years ago by DanF.

• A:Answer Hi Dan, Yes, the 322GW does have a Time Lapse setting. Time Lapse recording is a technique whereby the frequency at which file frames are captured (frame rate) is lower than that used when playing back the recording. Time Lapse recording can be considered the opposite of slow motion, as when the recording is played back time appears to be moving faster. For example, a recording taken over three minutes would be played back as a 30 second movie. More information is available in the manual on page 23: https://cdn.nextbase.co.uk/manuals/237B9134-BE28-471E-AD5C-151404336B5A/NBDVR322GW%20User%20Manual%20(English%20R9)_compressed.pdf Regards, Nextbase

Q: QuestionIs a polarizing filter needed or recommended for this cam?

Asked 4 years ago by Dennis.

• A:Answer Hello Dennis. Yes, I would recommend an add-on polarizing filter for the 322GW. This can be clipped onto the lens for the Dash Cam. It will help to dramatically reduce windscreen glare and reflection. Thanks, Nextbase

Q: QuestionI see this has wifi, Bluetooth and an app I can download to my phone. If someone is using my car without me in it, can I check the videos from the app on my phone while I'm away to make all is well with the driver? If not, is there one that allows this?

Asked 2 years ago by MEBoss1.

• A:Answer Hello, Nextbase 322GW dashcams are not remotely accessible for customer privacy reasons. This means that you can not access the camera, footage or GPS location when away from the camera. We are developing a new car security camera at the moment called the Nextbase iQ- this will be able to be accessed remotely as it's 4G compatible. I'd recommend checking our website nextbase.com for further release information. If there's anything else that we can do to help, please don't hesitate to get in contact at [email protected] or +1 800 2805 178.
