I went with Nextbase 222X in my MK7 R. Has 4k quality day/night, fairly priced and both quality/sound are excellent. Recording time can be in loops and saves automatically, and installation is simple - you just have to run the wire from the USB port then plug into the camera and it also charges at the same time.
Nextbase 322W in my WRX, and one for the Tacoma. Nextbase 222x in my service truck. The 222 has been in service the longest, and is still going strong.
I have a dual camera, it's better than just a front camera for sure. The only bad side is positioning the camera to get a good angle to record both views. Depending on the car, the dashcam won't be placed where you want it to be, but where is best for the recording angle
It's the Nextbase 222x got around 3 years ago
I’ve been using a Nextbase 222 with a suction cup mount (purchased separately) for at least half a year no. No complaints.
I have a nextbase 222, front and rear camera. My husband wired mine to the fuse box,
If you want the best appearance then get the wiring kit, if you aren’t bothered you might be ok with the 12v adapter and the wire hanging out the front of the console. Nextbase very easy to wire in just ensure you get the right wiring kit. The second generation needs the 2nd gen wire even though it is rated same I had issues reusing my gen1 kit trying to save money. Depending on your car, it’s as simple as finding a fuse in the passenger (easiest), or driver footwell, or in the engine compartment. I had not needed to try the latter as have done the wiring on Peugeots, Opels and Fords all of which had a passenger fuse board available. There are many Yt guides so you can probably find one for your car. It involves: -Finding a fuse which is live when the ignition is on only. Can do this with an electrical detector pen or a multimeter easily, or by consulting the exact wiring schematic for your car using the VIN which a car forum can help with if struggling. -Removing then Tapping the fuse by using the piggyback adapter supplied with the Nextbase kit. -threading the wire behind the glovebox (can usually access the dash from a side panel with passenger door wide). -threading up the passenger pillar (most cars pop off very easily but if you break the plastic clips you will need to get some more but they are super cheap online. -tucking the wire along the roof lining. I suggest to find the fuses first then mount the cam then start there and work down so you have a ball of spare wire at the footwell and cable tie it out of the way. I also wired my rear cam in which was quite easy but just needed a cable tie to thread through the bootlid harness was the tricky bit. Finally for the cam I always buy reconditioned Nextbase from their eBay shop. Save a fortune. You can also get the right memory card (very important to get the best you can). Hope this helps
Yes, I have a Nextbase 222 dash cam that includes the rear camera. It works really well, I recommend it.
I switched to a FITCAMX front and rear camera system from a Nextbase two camera system only to realize that the FITCAMX two camera setup isn’t available as a motion sensor system. It only works when the vehicle is running or with only the front camera hooked up to the fuse panel. You can’t have it both ways. When I bought the FITCAMX dual camera system it wasn’t explained in the sales info. The camera install was easy and fits perfectly with the rear view mirror housing but is lacking in the parking feature which I had and liked with my old cameras.
