Works well and have not had any issues. screen quality is great

I have had an earlier version (522) for several years. Aside from some software frustrations the camera has been great. I bought a sports car as a retirement splurge to myself a few months ago. Even though I have never had to use the cameras recordings as evidence in an accident, I feel safer with the camera recording. I was involved in the soft drink industry most of my working life and saw many instances of police at the scene of an accident wrongly declaring the vehicle belonging to the party most likely to have great insurance as the guilty party. The 622 GW is very similar in appearance to the 522 that I have had for a while. At first glance I was disappointed that the new version had a permanent adhesive mount instead of the suction cup mount that the previous mount has. It was nice to be able to relocate the camera periodically. The downside to the suction cup mount is that it let go and fell down periodically. The 622 has tons of features including image stabilization, extreme weather mode, super slow-motion mode, SOS emergency response capability, Alexa, up to 4k recording, GPS and three words capability. While all of the features are nice, my major concern is having a great recording in case of an accident. Since my main concern is having recordings, I haven't explored many of the features yet. Like so many other things, I wish I could rate the hardware and software separately. The camera performs flawlessly. I have gotten a great 4k picture in all circumstances I have been in, rain, sunshine, darkness, rain, fog and sleet. I forgot to try the severe weather function in the rain and fog. I really like the time lapse setting; it is especially fun to use in a scenic area. I give the hardware 5 stars. The camera is all it should be and performs flawlessly. Then there is the software. When setting up the camera I was almost immediately informed that a firmware update was required. I followed the instructions only to receive an error message. I tried again several times and then followed the alternative method instructions. I found a couple of variations on the instructions, and all were met with failure. I went around and around trying to install the update, enough to exhaust the battery and still couldn't make it work. This was send it back if not throw it against the wall frustrating. After many tries, I gave up. When I turned the camera on the next day it showed that the firmware had been installed. I'm not sure what happened. If I could rate that part of the software separately, I would give it a 0. The computer app seems to work just fine. For me, the camera is the main thing, and this is a great camera, so I only deduct 1 star for the initial software/firmware setup.

The app is completely terrible. It takes forever to sync up with the phone most of the time. The whole unit will freeze up at least every couple of days. A lot of times you want even notice it right away. Try a different brand.

Its a great product worth the buck that you spend. Love the product

Best dash cam in the entire industry, nothing beats this dash cam.

Best dashcam on the market, full features and easy interface.

Excellent so far. Easy to install. Clarity. Easy navigation.

Expensive and unreliable. The screen is prone to freeze ups and thus require dismounting, resetting, and remounting

Excellent dashcam. User friendly. Quality is awesome .

i am very disappoint in this camera. I purchase this camera in Sept of 22 and i had to reset a couple, no big deal , I had to replace the tape 2 times because it won't stick to the windshield, my major problem is for 3 months it did not record anything on the card it shows on the screens it is but it wasn't and know i don't have the proof I needed for the bogus ticket i received. Also i never could get the app to work

I had own the previous 1080p version of this camera, and when I saw the new 4K version came out, I just had to get it! Not that there was anything wrong with my old camera, I had always loved it, but the ability to record in 4K made me want to upgrade. These cameras are backed to the brim with features. They have GPS so they can always track your exact location and speed. They have Amazon Alexa built right into the camera, and they also have the SOS feature that will get help for you if you were involved in a accident and were unresponsive and couldn't call for help on your own. Another thing i love about this camera is that even when your car is parked, it can detect if someone bumps into your car and will automatically turn on and start recording so you might be able to catch that small hit and run in the parking lot! The video quality on my old camera was great, the new 4K version is amazing! It makes it so much easier to pick out plate numbers and road signs and things like that. It also looks like they improved the quality of vides at night as well. They are not as dark and hard to see as they were with the previous model. I also read in the manual that there is a special setting for fog that improves the video quality on really foggy days, although I have yet to get a chance to test that. I have owned a few different brands of dash cams in the past and this one has blown every other brand out of the water by a landslide! They think of everything in the functionality and the design to make it easier for the end user. Right down to the magnetic mount so you can easily pop your camera out and take it with you without having to fumble around with any wires. You literally just grab it and pull it off the mount and stick it in your pocked. Then when you get back in the car, just pop it back on the mount and you are ready to go! I cant say enough good things about this brand of cameras, and especially this camera in general. If you are looking for a dash cam. This is the brand and this is the camera you want!

In a world where our iPhones can shoot 4K video, our televisions can play 4K content, having a dash cam that only records in 1080p seems antiquated. In the past few years, I have had a 720p dash cam and a 1080p dash cam. Not that I ever needed to see any particular details in the video but if something happened, it would be nice to know that I could blow up the video and see the details clearly. That's why this Nextbase 622GW dash cam is so good. It shoots a very clear 4K video that could be used as evidence in the event of an accident. Also, with my previous dash cams, I would have to eject the Micro SD card in order to put it into my computer. Have you ever tried to eject a Micro SD card from a dash cam attached to the windshield? The card is so small and is spring loaded so inevitably it will pop out and fall on the floor. With this dash cam, you can access all the files on the camera using the My Nextbase app on your phone. Each clip is saved as a separate file with the date and time on the bottom of each clip so you can find the exact moment you need and take a screenshot with the touch of a button and share it to the MyNextbase Cloud or to any device or person using your standard share screen. Each clip can be locked so you can't accidentally delete it or as the SD card fills up it will delete old files but not the locked ones. The 622GW can also be controlled by voice using the Alexa App but you have to install the Alexa skill for that first. The app will walk you through setting up the dash cam and provide you with all the help you need. There are additional features that the app will provide for the cam such as Emergency SOS and Incident Aware that will upload the video to someone or your insurance company. There is a Nextbase Drivers Club that you can sign up for to receive product news and software updates and special offers as well. The dash cam uses GPS and gives you the coordinates using What3Words which is a great concept for locating your exact location within a 10 square foot area. They have mapped the entire world into 10 foot squares and gave every square 3 words unique to that square (like hat,river,boat) that will pinpoint you in the event you need assistance and there are no streets or landmarks to tell someone where you are at and using the What3Words app and inputting those 3 words, it will show your location on their map. It's a great concept that I'm glad someone finally implemented into a dash cam. The cam itself is very well made. It's made of metal as compared to other dash cams that are made of cheap plastic. The dash cam mounts to your windshield using a 3M sticker which you know will never fall off even on a hot day. I did have one problem but solved it by Googling the issue. When I connected the dash cam to my iPhone and clicked on Live View, all I got was a black screen. Before searching for a solution, I tried deleting and re-installing the app, checking all the settings, rebooting my iPhone and still I got a black screen. The solution that I found was to turn on Airplane mode on the iPhone and then the video appeared on the screen. I'm sure this is an issue that will be resolved with a future firmware update but for now, I will have to use the Control Center to turn on Airplane mode. All in all I am very pleased at the quality of the camera and the video it produces. Like a home generator, you like to know you have it in the event of an emergency but hope you will never really need it.

One month after the one year warranty it stopped working and Best Buy says it can’t be fixed. $450 for one year of use??!!! Dont waste your money.

Do not buy. This unit freezes, Next, the compartment camera doesn’t have a night mod. Video comes out dark at night. Also, the tape used for hanging on your window fails. Finally, the screensaver jumps form camera view to screensaver.

This item is hard to use, and freezes constantly. Also way too many steps to follow and keep it working. Not easy to use friendly.
