    If your vehicle is ever involved in an accident, this camera could be your only advocate for the truth. This camera system works great and for the price is just unbeatable. I now have one in every vehicle and highly recommend one for every vehicle you own.

    Good footage, hard to connect to Bluetooth sometimes, the telephoto camera on the front isn’t the best it is a little weird sometimes.

    Bought this as a gift for my sister. So good that I got another one! Quality of video is great and I love how it is magnetic charge/connect so I can take it when leaving the car.

    It records well, but does have issues. I've had it freeze up several times with the nextbase SD card. I've discovered that it can't be left connected to a power source. It needs to be disconnected, otherwise it over heats. Ever since I've started disconnecting it, i haven't had issues. But not enough battery power to record during parked mode. Does not always connect to my phone to view files.

    I like the camera, however I live in Texas and apparently the Texas heat is not good for it, when it is in my car all day in the heat it turns the screen black. So far, after I turn the A/C on and it cools off the screen goes back to normal.

    Great dash cam, Just beware to get the U3 memory card, the one I purchased before was recommended by the sales agent but it worked for a short time but camera became un responsive unless it had a U3 sd card. All good now!

    Overall you are getting great camera quality. The app that Nextbase uses sucks and it's hard to actually use this dashcam in reality. The in-app functionality is hard to connect with your phone. In addition, my dashcam started to completely brick itself by refusing to record anything. I replaced the memory card and force reset the dashcam to no avail. Personally, avoid this camera and get something else.

      Hello,
      I'm very sorry to hear that your 522GW is experiencing an issue. I would recommend checking that the SD card is compatible and the firmware is up to date. I would also recommend checking the app and phone settings are correctly enabled to allow for a successful connection.
      Please email the Nextbase Support Team at support@nextbase.com and they can go through the troubleshooting with you to get you up and running.

    Gets the job done. Captures clear video. I use the 1080p 60FPs setting. The wireless transfer of video to my phone works well, too.

    Awesome cam! Only gave it 3 stars because it was faulty. It wouldn't hold a charge and the screen kept going blank. The warranty with Best Buy was over but the warranty with the company is good 1 year. They were helpful and saw I called before about the camera . I returned it with the label they sent and waiting for a replacement camera. If the new one works, I will change my review and give 5 stars. because it's an amazing camera!!!! But I need it to work.

    This is a very good dash cam that everyone should have. Very good quality footage is recorded from this tiny camera with the capability of adding a Rearview camera. Truly recommend.

    The quality of the camera itself is very good and has good video. The big downside of this product is if you ever plan on using the app on your phone. It is complete trash. I spent an hour trying to pair it to my phone, turning both on and off repeatedly, and once it did pair it wanted to update the firmware. This promptly failed repeatedly and crashed both the app on my phone and camera.

    It has worked flawlessly so far. Does exactly what it was designed to do without any issues. Easy to use control. Minor nitpicking, personally, I would have preferred a bigger screen but it's totally adequate.

    I had this professionally installed by Best Buy. The tech did a great job with the install but we had difficulty getting the view from phone and Alexa to work. I have Alexa in my home and really wanted the convenience of turning on the lights from the car as I arrive. Still trying to get this to work. I haven’t contacted NextBase yet. I will, but I shouldn’t have to. It should be easy to operate out of the box. If I’m able to get everything working, I’ll update my review.
