Customer Ratings & Reviews

I did a lot of research and settled on this dash cam based upon review sites that had published prior model reviews. I should have looked at forums and purchase reviews more closely as it's clear that Nextbase dash cams have had freezing issues for a while. Based upon several multiple page postings on various dash cam related forums, they have freezing issues that in the past may or may not have been fixed with software upgrades depending on what forum you visit. My initial problem was that the camera appears to work normally until the SD Card gets full or at least has a decent amount of space used. Then it will simply freeze after 2 to 3 seconds of recording until you format it again. I was told by support that my non dash cam approved SD cards were the problem so I purchased an SD card that was rated well above their stated rates which is specifically for professional video recording. BTW, they only state on the box that you need a U3 rated card. Not a magical unicorn SD card that only they have been able to find and determine to be worthy of their devices. That high end SD card still had the issues so I asked for a return as my return period with Best Buy had now passed and they offered to send me a NextBase unicorn SD card that would surely fix my issues. Well it did change my issue, now instead of working for a day or two and then freezing up every time it will just randomly freeze every third or fourth time it's turned on. I have wasted two months with this device and their only answer is that I can't buy the right SD card when even their own card doesn't work. I'm done, I have again asked for a return for the full purchase price and will report back here if Best Buy allows edits of reviews as to whether or not they grant me this or I've been cheated out of 400 dollars.

It's great little camera Has a good picture and is easy to use

Not what I expected. More hype than actual features that work. Camera has locked up several times. I have a $25 Dash Cam in another car that is more reliable than this one. The high resolution camera is good if you need to read a license plate. Other than that... Don't buy this one

This 4k dash cam have great videos quality and easy to set up

The camera is great. I have had no problems videos are incredible just uploading to social media is a little hard.

Having 4k its the best, with some new add-ons. But it also kept freezing up and I had to reset it every 10minutes or so, super annoying!! I returned it since I got fed up with it and hated it, I ended up buying the 522gw, and its amazing! :) no issues anymore.

This thing is so glitchy! The software or maybe I have a bad unit. If I do anything on the app while connected I have to reset the camera because it freezes. Not sure if it the app or the hardware. I’ve had for a week and have had to reset it at least 6 times. And yes I have a next base mini sd card in it. I would highly recommend going a different route. For the price of the unit find something cheaper and more reliable. I think it’s shameful a company would release something with this many issues. I’ve looked at other reviews and noticed I’m not the only one with these problems. I really want to like this unit.

Quality is good nice camera overall. Occasionally freezes up Slight red tint in some lighting conditions

Great. 4K is amazing and is super easy to use. Would for sure recommend.

I started off with a cheaper dash cam, a Garmin, which I had all kinds of problems with. I then decided to splurge and get this model. It is worlds better then the first one I bought. Very happy with it, the video is crisp and clear. The software to view the video on the computer is also top notch. Recommended

Good dash cam but it does freeze up occasionally. Good 4K video and great features. Mobile app could be better.

Great Dash Cam, easy install. Only issue was the hardwire kit was for foreign cars only and not american.

Best buy told me that the NextBase 622GW was the # 1 dash cam so I tried it. at 1st it was real easy to set up but after I plugged it in it started to get hot and even so hot I could not touch it. I returned it for a full refund. There sure are a lot of the same reviews on the dash cam getting so HOT..

It works great. Clear pictures. It was easy to install.

Good clear image. Easy to use. Best price at Bestbuy.

Great Dash CAM and much better than Garmin and Rove units I've tried. Easy setup and control. Phone app works good but a tab bit slow, but very usable. Easy to transfer or delete files. Was able to use a 128GB SIM Card. 622GW does not require polarizing filter since built in. Using the 422GW in other vehicle which I like and reason I wen with the 622GW version.

Good quality but it freezes up pretty often and then you got to hit reset button. Still a good camera.

I'm coming from the older model 522gw I believe it was. I also have the 422gw in my girlfriend's car. Those cameras work great with no issues. But I was excited for this one. I made sure to have a fast sd card. But this camera kept freezing on me right after it would boot up when I start the car. It did it maybe 50 percent of the time. It would be stuck on an image it was last looking at. I had to hit the reset button because it wouldn't turn off. I got tired of dealing with that issue. Not worth 399 I can tell you that much. That issue makes the camera useless and if I have to use their sd card, It should have came with it. It's a pain to even find the nextbase sd card. I think the camera has potential. But that issue was a deal breaker for me. I did love the video quality and how fast you can transfer the videos to your phone. That was the best part of this camera. Their older model cameras take forever to transfer the full quality videos to your phone wirelessly.

So far so good, but had to remove the polarization filter because I have a tint on my windshield that caused rainbows on the video. The image stabilization seems to work pretty good. My primary use will be recording my travels. I'm hoping the NextBase 256GB micro SD will work with this model. Got it on order.

Works great. Nice picture quality. App is a little confusing.
