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.

I have a NextBase 522 front and rear hardwired into the car. Never had any issues with it or cause to use it, thankfully.

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.

In my previous car I had the 522gw which worked great for a while then just started having multiple issues. My friend has the same model and also had the same problems as me. I'm guessing you probably have an older model which I've heard is more reliable.

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

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.

Most dashcams operate from the cigarette lighter out the box. Hard wiring is a separate thing to do. My nextbsse 522 has sucker pad and lighter plug in. About 5 seconds to install and take out.

I have a Nextbase 522GW with the rear camera add on. Had it for 5 or 6 years now, the only issue they have is the batteries fail after a couple of years but you can buy a replacement direct from Nextbase for £10 just replaced it for a 2nd time and now as good as new again. Image quality is great 4k front 1080 rear. The app is OK but not great, if I want to take vids off I just take the card out and use my PC. Mine gets a lot of use as I drive between 2 and 8 hours a day depending on the site I'm at.

I have a Nextbase 522GW. Does the job and the quality is good. The app for accessing and retrieving the videos off the device remotely is a pile of crap!

If you're thinking about getting a dash cam, I’d say go for one that’s easy to use and gives good video quality. Like, you don't want grainy footage, right? A couple of good options are the Vantrue N2 Pro and the Nextbase 522GW. The Vantrue N2 Pro is solid, especially if you want something with a front and rear camera—great for Uber or Lyft drivers too. The quality’s awesome, and it has night vision, which is super handy. On the other hand, the Nextbase 522GW is packed with cool tech like Alexa built-in and a touchscreen. Plus, it's got this neat Emergency SOS feature, just in case. For budget-friendly stuff, check out the Anker Roav Dash Cam—it’s simple, easy, and gets the job done without breaking the bank. Just make sure it has loop recording (so it overwrites old footage) and parking mode, so you're covered when the car’s off. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a good memory card too!

Depends on budget. Im a fan of the nextbase kits. 320xr is a good front and rear kit with SD card for £129 odd (1080p 30fps parking.mode no GPS tracking) . Then you have the 522gwnbudle which is front and rear cam and SD card and they go from £199-£269 roughly (2k 60fps app connection night vision parking mode and has GBS tracking).
