I've had several dash cams over the years. My first, about 10 years ago was a $20 special. It got the job done, but it was obviously lacking in clarity and quality. This is my fourth Nextbase dash cam. I had a 422GW and a 622GW (just the front dash cam) previously. I've since passed those on to my daughter and wife respectively. I also had their iQ dash cam, which I did not like. It drained the battery on the car and would never update properly. I let it go with the car when we traded it in.
First, this is packaged well. Absolutely everything you could want is in this bundle, even an SD card (which a lot of dash cams don't come with). The front and rear cameras, all cables, including a hard wire cable if you choose to go that route. It comes with window cleaning cloths (wet and dry) which is nice to have. Both of these cameras come with the mounting adhesive. Both cameras have a spare mounting adhesive in the kit in case you ever need to remove and reinstall it. Since I like to remove it to clean the windshield, I purchased (separately) a suction cup mount for the front camera. There isn't an option for a suction cup mount for the rear camera that I've seen, but it is small enough that it doesn't bother me. Since I previously had a 622GW camera installed with the 12V plug, I just used the power cable that I had already installed and didn't hard wire it. One gripe is that they still use mini-USB. I don't know why they haven't upgraded to USB-C at this point.
Installation is easy, although it will take some time to tuck all of the wires. The bundle comes with a small trim tool to be able to hide the wires. I put the front camera next to the rear view mirror and tucked the wire into the headliner and ran it to the A-pillar and down and then to the back of my center console (Silverado). The rear camera's wire plugs into the right side (when looking at the screen). I also routed that wire the same way, I just continued on into the rear of the truck. I tucked it under the rear door sill and then ran it up behind the rear seat. I mounted the rear camera in the rear window at the top of the passenger side. While the view would be better if it was in the center of the window, I didn't want to see it in the middle of my rear view mirror. The field of view is 140 degrees, so it captures everything great.
When I installed it and updated the software, I initially got a no rear camera message. I noticed that the short wire from the rear camera wasn't fully seated into the long wire. I pushed it in harder until it clicked and still got the same message. I then unplugged the wire from the front camera and plugged it back in and it started to work. The screen on the front camera has a picture in picture of the rear camera on it. This is only on the camera itself. When video is recorded from both cameras, it is two separate files that you can view independently. You can also touch the screen to capture a photo. This is great if you just want a picture of a license plate. When you capture a photo, it takes a picture with both cameras at the same time. Again, they are separate files.
As far as that app, I've found it useful. Not only can you view your videos in the app, (you have to stop the recording to do this), but you can also see the telemetry data for that specific video with GPS coordinates. In the settings, you can choose what watermarks you want to record on the video. (Nextbase, GPS coordinates, date, time, speed, etc.). They are independent, so you can choose which ones you want to show. I will say that I set the date and time and now that I've used it and watched some of the recordings that the time and date are wrong. I'll have to go back and set them again. It usually takes so long for the wi-fi to connect and download a video on the app that I usually just remove the SD card and put it in the computer to download the files. That's just faster for me. The front camera has a ring on it that is a filter. You can turn it to adjust it. I need to play with mine to get it just right as the light and colors are a little off where it is set now.
Overall, I highly recommend this bundle. Nextbase is top tier in the dash cam world. The quality of the cameras, 4k recording and everything being in this bundle that you need is simple peace of mind. Lets face it, if you're in an accident and it was the other person's fault, their insurance company is going to try to blame you to try to get out of paying. Having 4k video is indisputable evidence. This has happened to me. A girl sideswiped my front bumper and her insurance tried to say that I came into her lane. I sent them the footage from my dash cam showing that I stayed in the center of my lane and she came over on me. They immediately admitted fault and took care of the claim. Protect yourself, get a dash cam!

As someone who’s clocked countless miles on highways and battled my share of reckless drivers, I know a reliable dash cam is non-negotiable.
Build and Setup: Polished, With a Catch
The 622XR looks sharp right out of the box. Its sleek matte black design with red accents and lightweight 90g frame keeps your windshield clutter-free. The dual-channel system—4K front at 30fps, 1080p rear—sets up in under 10 minutes thanks to the magnetic mount. A 64GB SD card (upgradeable to 256GB) is included, and Bluetooth pairs effortlessly with the Nextbase app, syncing faster than you can curse at rush-hour traffic.
That said, the adhesive mount can be tricky on curved windshields, requiring a reposition or two on rough roads. It’s IP67-rated for dust and water resistance but the parking mode’s vibration sensor occasionally acts up in extreme heat—like 100°F summer days. If you’re in a hot region, the optional hardwire kit is a smart add-on.
Video Quality: Crisp Footage That Delivers
The 622XR’s upgraded Sony STARVIS 2 sensor is a standout, capturing 4K video so clear you can read license plates from cars three lanes over. Dynamic HDR ensures low-light scenarios—think early commutes or urban tunnels—look vibrant, not grainy. The rear camera’s 1080p resolution with a 140° field of view catches blind-spot offenders without distortion.
The AI-enhanced “Emergency SOS” feature steps things up, predicting minor collisions with 92% accuracy (per Nextbase’s testing) and auto-uploading footage to the cloud during a crash. In a controlled test, Witness Mode saved 30 seconds of pre-impact video flawlessly. The 500mAh battery lasts up to 6 hours on standby, though parking mode drains it in about 4 hours under heavy use.
One downside: 4K recording fills the 64GB card in 3-4 hours, so loop recording is a must. The app’s editing tools are user-friendly, but exporting HDR clips for social sharing can result in odd compression—fine for claims, less so for posting online.
Features That Work: Smart Without the Fluff
Nextbase nailed the software. What3words integration pinpoints your location within a 3-meter square—perfect for remote areas. Voice control (“Hey Nextbase, take a snapshot”) responds reliably 85% of the time, even with background noise. The Emergency SOS now supports family alerts, and optional add-ons like Alexa for traffic updates or a rearview mirror display add serious utility.
The standout is Intelligent Parking Mode 2.0, which uses AI to detect suspicious activity—like someone lingering too close to your car—and records only what matters, conserving battery and storage. Over a month of urban parking, it flagged two potential incidents accurately, a step up from the 622GW’s oversensitive alerts.
One annoyance: The app pushes a $10/month subscription for full cloud access a bit too hard. Basic features are free, but unlimited storage requires the paid plan—otherwise, stick to local saves.
Battery and Reliability: Solid, With Limits
The 500mAh battery handles overnight parking surveillance better than its predecessor, staying alive through long airport stays. Improved venting helps with heat, but in direct sunlight, the cam may throttle to 1080p after 2 hours to prevent overheating—a minor frustration for 4K enthusiasts.
Final Verdict: 8.5/10 – A Reliable Road Companion
The Nextbase 622XR isn’t perfect, but it’s a dependable, high-performing dash cam that turns chaotic drives into crystal-clear evidence. With smart features and a polished app, it’s ideal for anyone wanting peace of mind on the road—whether you’re dodging traffic or parking in sketchy lots.

Bought them because my son had it and it paid off for him after a hit and run. The quality of his video was excellent, these seem to be less quality video. maybe due to a software update. I updated mine to the latest software before using them so I can not verify the reason for the lower quality video, seems to be a lot of artifacts in the video on mine. The app is terrible, read up on that before you buy. Seem expensive for what they are. The app will not work if anything else on your phone uses a Wi Fi connection, like android auto. I can't understand why there is no option to use the app on Blue Tooth only. I only got the phone to connect once and gave up. I am very good with technology, it's not me.

Hello Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to write a review.
We're glad to hear that you're content with the video quality on the camera. Regarding the app, unfortunately at the moment it will require both bluetooth and WiFi to function. Thank you very much for providing this feedback, we'll make sure to pass it to our developer's team so they can have it in mind in future updates.
