Excellent Dash Cam – Great Quality and Features!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The video quality is outstanding—crisp 2K resolution ensures clear footage, even in low-light conditions. The compact design makes it easy to install without obstructing tge view, and the adhesive mount keeps it securely in place. Setup was a breeze, and the user-friendly interface makes navigating settings simple. I love the Wi-Fi connectivity, which allows me to quickly transfer videos to my phone without hassle. The loop recording and G-sensor ensure that important footage is automatically saved in case of an incident. For the price, this dash cam delivers excellent value with reliable performance. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality, hassle-free dash cam!

Works fantastic… glad i got it!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently got the Nextbase Piqo 2K dash cam, and I’m really impressed! The video quality is crystal clear, with great wide angle view. Its compact design fits perfectly behind my rearview mirror, keeping my windshield clutter-free. The app is easy to use for accessing settings and footage, though I wish the video transfer was a bit faster. I also love the parking mode and the option for emergency SOS calling. It’s affordable and reliable—perfect for anyone looking for a straightforward dash cam. Highly recommended!

Works Okay
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box, the Next base Piqo 2k dash camera has a sleek design and comes with everything you need: the dash cam itself, a 32GB microSD card, a power cable, and a trim tool for installation. It looked promising, but as I found out, it’s a mixed bag. Setup and Installation Setting up the camera with the app was straightforward enough—just scan the QR code in the manual to download the Nextbase app. Pairing the camera to my phone was a little fiddly, but I got it working after a couple of tries. Installing the power cable using the included trim tool was actually one of the easiest parts of the process. The tool made tucking the cable into the car’s interior trim a breeze, so kudos to Nextbase for including it. Storage and Subscription The 32GB microSD card included with the camera is a nice touch, but it fills up quickly depending on your recording habits. For frequent or long trips, you’ll likely want to upgrade to a larger card to avoid constantly transferring files. The camera also offers a monthly subscription service for cloud storage, which might appeal to users who want to keep their footage backed up. However, I decided to stick with local storage for simplicity. Performance and Usability Here’s where things start to unravel. The camera’s WiFi direct connection allows you to play back videos on your phone without removing the SD card, but the playback is choppy at best. Stuttering video makes it hard to review footage in the car, which is frustrating if you’re trying to check something on the spot. I also noticed the camera frequently disconnecting from the app, forcing me to reconnect multiple times—a headache when you’re in a hurry. Firmware updates are supposed to fix these kinds of bugs, but they’ve been hit or miss. One update seemed to improve stability slightly, while another left me wondering if it had done anything at all. Final Thoughts Overall, the Nextbase Piqo 2K Dash Camera is a decent option for drivers looking for a basic dash cam with a few smart features. The app setup and power cable installation are user-friendly, and the included trim tool is a nice bonus. However, the frequent disconnections, inconsistent firmware updates, and poor in-car video playback mar the experience. If you’re okay with its quirks and don’t mind upgrading the microSD card, it’s not a bad choice for the price. But for a seamless and reliable experience, you might want to consider other options.

Posted .Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We're glad to hear you appreciated the sleek design of the Nextbase Piqo 2K and found the setup process straightforward. We're also happy that the included trim tool made installation easier for you. It’s great to know it helped with tucking the power cable into your car’s interior trim!
We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the storage and performance. We understand that the 32GB microSD card can fill up quickly, but as you suggested, you can either upgrade to a larger capacity card (this device supports up to 256GB) or use the cloud storage subscription. We completely understand your decision to stick with local storage for simplicity, but we’re happy to offer the cloud option for those who want an additional backup.
We’re sorry to hear about the issues with WiFi playback, disconnections, and firmware updates. Please make sure that all the necessary permissions for the app are granted at all times, not just when the app is in use. Also, check to ensure there are no other Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals interfering with connectivity, such as a VPN or antivirus app. If the issue persists, please reach out to our support team at nasupport@nextbase.com. They may be able to assist with optimizing the Wi-Fi connection or offer additional troubleshooting steps.
We’re grateful for your feedback and are committed to improving the product. If you ever need assistance or have further questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Great for capturing things around the neighborhood
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was gifted this as a Christmas present and yesterday it helped defuse a situation with neighbors so I'm on an appreciation kick. This thing's great. It came with a memory card that's proven more than large enough. The app was easy to install. And the camera's very small. I used to have one that was nearly the size of the rearview mirror. That one never really bugged me because of how big it was but this one made me appreciate how much smaller these things have become. Nothing but love for the camera and am very happy to know drama was avoided on the block simply because I told my brother people can't drive anymore.

Easy and not too pricey
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I decided to give the Nextbase Piqo a shot since it’s small and not too expensive. It stuck to the windshield without any hassle, has a good amount of cable to hide away, and the app is pretty easy to use. So far so good.

Many bugs to fix before being a great product
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's always exciting when a cool new product comes out and you get your hands on it. Unfortunately, being that it is a new product, you know that there are bugs that will have to be fixed. Well, that is no exception with the Nextbase Piqo dash cam. This isn't my first Nextbase dash cam. I have two other different model dashcams installed. I have one in my wife's car, and one in my truck, This Piqo is supposed to go in my Jeep. One of the biggest problems that I have dealt with when dealing with a Nextbase dash camera is their app. It feels like they rush to release their newest products and don't address compatibility issues or major bugs that should be addressed before new products are rolled out. Another thing is that there has been a different app for each of the Nextbase dash cams that I have received. Why doesn't Nextbase keep everything centralized in one single app. If they can't do that due to features, at least put a little bit more time into app development before they release new products. While trying to install the Piqo, I thought I could just go into my Nextbase app that I already had installed. I pressed the paring button, but noticed that it wouldn't pair. So, off to the internet I went (no instruction included...QR code with little to no help). I found out that I neded to download a completely new app to get this camera running. I finally paired the device, was connected, and found that no video was showing up. Only white lines with no image. I kept trying to work things out, but it wouldn't work. The firmware was all up to date, and still nothing. I can't use the dashcam if I can see if it is recording or not. Unfortunately, there is only one button on the camera, but no screen to help navigate things via the cam itself. Everything is done via the app with the PIQO. The concept of the Nextbase Piqo dash cam is good, but the functionality and reliability is lacking. I would wait until Nextbase clears its bugs before purchasing the Piqo. They eventually do fix the issues with their apps, but at a slow pace.

Posted .Hello Jordan,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re truly sorry for the issues you've encountered with the Piqo. We understand your frustration, especially with the app and pairing problems, and we appreciate your patience. We're actively working on improving the app and overall functionality, and we’ll be sure to pass along your feedback about centralizing the apps.
Regarding the design of the camera itself, the decision to exclude a screen was made to simplify the user experience. When the camera is on and starts recording, you'll hear a sound and see different color LED lights on the camera to let you know what’s happening. For more information on this, I recommend checking our support page and the manual here: https://nextbase.com/help-and-support/dash-cams/piqo-support/
