    This camera is very adequate…Would like to see at least a 1440p version. While the primary nextbase camera units have been upgraded repeatedly they do not seem to be in a big hurry to improve the rear cameras. It is nice that the newest unit is still compatible with the older components for those that have a previous generation, but if you are buying the 622 as your first in this modular line up this “barely hd” unit falls a little flat compared to its 4K capabilities.

    Could not use camera. Wanted it for Parking mode. The hardwire kit does not have proper wiring. It could only be connected to a live wire which caused the battery to drain. Once low limit was reached, camera completely shut off (and parking mode with it) to save the battery, Terrible design flaw by Nextbase. Also had multiple software issues trying to get film clips downloaded and usable on PC software program.

      Hello,
      Thank you for your review.
      For Parking Mode we always recommend using the hard wire kit. The Hard Wire Kit will allow the camera to draw nominal current from the car's battery, preventing the cam's battery from being drained. The Hard Wire Kit has an in-built voltage cut off which protects the car's battery from being drained below 11.2V. The battery will not drain further than this to prevent your car from not starting. We'd recommend using a Permanent Live fuse for Parking Mode.

    I have two of these and when they work they are great. Problem I ran into was my Dash cam 522 would not record. Unplug rear camera and it worked. Bought a replacement and we were back recording the rear again. Might have been a fluke?

    I drive about 40,000 miles a year so a few years ago I decided to get the Nextbase 522GW dash cam. I had it installed as hard wired at Best Buy. About a year later they had a sale on the rear window camera so in August of 2020 I decided to get it to have what is behind me recorded. Had it installed by the tech at Best Buy and it worked great—for a little over a year. Then it started having issues and then it stopped working completely.

    Camera freezes

    It works great and as expected when it’s not freezing up. I’m not sure if it’s a camera issue or a SD card issue. I’ve used 3 different cards and the camera seems to start freezing up after a couple of days of video. It’s the recommended UHD card and has plenty of memory left each time. The only way to resolve it is to reset the camera and stop the video from recording before 2 seconds or it will freeze. Then format the card from the camera and it will operate correctly for a couple of days. Same issue with any SD card btw. Im running Nextbase 622GW with the rear window cam. Less than 2 months old.

      Hello,
      SD cards only have limited lifespans. In our manuals we recommend formatting every 2-3 weeks to prolong the life of the card. Without this regular formatting, or if the card is non-compatible or damaged, the card could corrupt which would cause a failure of data writing.
      Symptoms of SD card failure are: an audible 'alarm' tone, non-functional buttons, freezing, corrupted files on playback, image missing from files, lack of file recording etc.
      We only advise using a Nextbase SD card with the 622GW and a Rear Window Camera.
      If you require any further help, please contact our Support Team at [email protected].
