    It definitely a good camera. Totally understand that it’s new to the market. But with firm where updates I am sure it will be great. I’ve had the same issues as some of the other reviewers but I’ve noticed with the firmware upgrade it has gotten much better.

      Hello,

      Thanks for leaving a review, we really appreciate the feedback.

      We are very proud of the iQ and I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying it too and as you correctly point out, new products often need several firmware updates in the early stages.

      If we can be of any further assistance, please let us know.

    Lacks IR

    Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Rear camera doesn’t have IR so is useless at night, for $200 you think it would at least come with that. Nighttime is when most car break-ins/thefts happen. Had someone kick my sunroof in and this didn’t capture anything because it only works in well-lit areas/broad daylight. Nextbase should come out with a different version with IR, like they offer in the front facing camera. Also, be wary the system will randomly delete video you watch so make sure to save it immediately and download to your phone after viewing. I had video that I was showing law enforcement that randomly disappeared after viewing. Nextbase is a good concept but lacks the robust security you’d expect from a near $1000 system. Also, when an event does happen it only triggers a single notification. Which is like getting a text at night, you just don’t notice it. They should have it trigger a loud alarm or a notification that keeps going until acknowledged.

      Hello Chris,

      We’re really sorry to hear about your experience, and we truly understand your concerns regarding the rear camera’s performance at night. We appreciate your feedback and will certainly pass it along to our product development team as we continue to improve our offerings.

      Regarding the video deletion issue, this is not how the camera should be working—no video should be deleted unless manually deleted. We recommend protecting any video you want to keep from being deleted from the SD card. However, as long as the camera has had time to upload the footage to the cloud, it should be available in the library section. Please make sure the SD card you're using is compatible and that the firmware is updated. If the issue persists, please contact our support team at [email protected].

      We genuinely appreciate your thoughtful feedback and want to assure you that we are always working on ways to improve our products and services to provide better security. If you need further assistance or have any more concerns, please feel free to reach out. We're here to help.

    Works great. I have to park on the city street since I don't have offstreet parking and I have been hit before. Now I have video front and back to give the police for reporting accidents. The alert system to my cell phone works great as well.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I invested in this dashcam. Bought the front and rear. It was pricey but their ads looked promising. Turned out it was a big dissapointment!!! The rear cams doesnt come back once you turn off the vehicle. Always had to restart the device if i want it to function. And parking mode only senses when somebody is already inside the vehicle. Not as advertised. Completely dissatisfied expense! Hope they fix it as promised but i wont bet on it.
