Nextbase - 522GW Front & Rear Dash Cam Bundle

I had a Nextbase 522GW at launch, very mediocre, and it's even climbed in price in the 6 years since it was released.

I have a Nexbase 522 something or other with the front and back attachment .. POS gets super hot even in cooler weather, sometimes just doesn’t record / save and connection to the app is pretty poor .. would not recommend.

Nextbase 522, front and rear camera (both internal to the vehicle, window-stuck). App-based recovery and archival of footage, ripped from the removable SSD on the camera. Good camera quality front and rear, acceptable night quality. Legible number plates and intuitive to setup and use. Buy it from Halfords (£200?) and pay them £50 to install it for you with a hardwire kit so it runs off your battery. pro-tip: the adhesive pads are terrible and will let go (usually in summer, you get 12 months use out of them easy) but Halfords know this, and my local Halfords will just give me replacement pads for free. YMMV

I've had Nextbase 522GW cameras in mine and the missus car for the five years, to be honest I'd say they're just OK. The battery life in them is a joke, I just replaced my battery. The image quality is OK in daylight but fairly poor at night.

Have had a Nextbase 522gw with rear camera on my car for 4 years now. Works well overall with great quality but the main issue is battery. The battery on it became useless in a few months and the dashcam turns off immediately after ignition power is stopped. Looking for a new dashcam for our new car and considering one of the Viofo models. They seem to have good reviews and come with capacitors instead of batteries so parking mode should work better.

I've had the Nextbase 522GW for about 5years. Not the cheapeast but the image quality is top notch and it hasn't missed a beat since I installed it. I also installed the optional rear-view camera, which I would also reccommend. I installed it myself. The worst job by far was threading the cable through the headlining and rear hatch for the rear camera.

I have the next base 522. spoiler alert: Alexa does not work on these things, and they need to stop claiming it does.

I have a nextbase 522gw after some ***** scraped up my car while leaving a petrol station and decided to speed off. I got it wired in by a local car electronics company so it comes on with the ignition and no ugly wires. You can get cabin facing modules for it and rear facing cameras - the latter requires a bit more work to hide the cables so I just opted for the front facing camera

I'm currently using a Nextbase 522GW in my main car, with the ball rear cam. It works, but it has a tendency to get quite hot and the other day (car was reading mid 20 degrees) when it turned on it had an SD card error. It needed to cool down before it would work again, and that's started happening intermittently even when its not hot. Although the NB app, on paper, has everything you need its terrible and slow. I've been looking to move away from Nextbase for my other car (which has a 322GW in it, which stopped working in less than a year of use). Playback is OK, but I think the quality of the image could be better. Also the G meter is really sensitive even when turned down to low. With it on it locks/saves a clip when it things something has happened, but was triggering just going around my local small roundabout that had a slight pothole in it which caused a little bump...

The fact you don’t have one already is surprising for me. I had nextbase 522GW this one last 6 years. Now I bought 70mai a510 it’s a front and rear camera and im happy with it. There’s no drawbacks of having a dashcam, if anything happens you don’t have to argue with the other driver about who was at fault, simply send video to insurance company and that’s it.
