Nextbase 622GW front and rear is solid

I use the nextbase 622gw in my c2 which has front and rear cameras and a hardwire kit. I have a wolfbox g900 with front and rear cams and a screen replacing the rearview mirror again with hardwire kit in my bmw e36 Any auto electrician or car audio installer will be able to fit either. I recommend the wolfbox over the nextbase.

I have a Viofo A229 Pro, front and back. It's really good and straight forward. The Viofo app leaves a bit to be desired, but is manageable. I also have a Nextbase 622GW and I cannot recommend it. It is probably the better camera overall, but the app is 100% hot garbage complete with smell of diapers. I cannot use half the features because I cannot connect my phones to it as it uses massive amounts of phone power and battery, and never ever disconnects. Tech support has been useless over the 4 years I have had it. I'll never buy or recommend a Nextbase again, no matter how great the camera is.

Same model also hardwired been fine, would recommend. Cheapo Amazon ones generally work fine especially viafo I think they are called which are cheap but use same camera tech as expensive ones

I have the Nextbase 622GW, rear window camera, NB 128GB SD card, and hardwire kit. Expensive but the footage is really clear, no recording issues, and no loose cables in the car. Had all sorts of issues with non-nextbase SD cards but works perfect with their own brand. Worth paying extra as it’s cheaper than potential loss of critical footage. You’ll never need to use their app after setup. Just put SD card into your computer. Simple

I’ve got the next base 622gw and the quality is amazing. The stabilisation is amazing and the parking mode is really good too.

The next base 622gw is amazing. The video quality is amazing and they fit it for 75 quid fully discrete so you don’t see any wires. You can get the bundle with rear cam for a couple hundred quid and if you have blue light or know anyone with it you can get further discounts.

I have the nextbase gw622 I think its called. Only issue I've ever had with the camera was at one point the SD card got corrupted so I have to switch to a more high in endurance card. Mount seems pretty sturdy it has a magnetic one so it's easy to take down and clean and then put back on the window. And camera quality and audio is pretty good, I have it set at 1440p for 60 FPS video but it can do 4k. As far as installation goes I haven't heard wired to a fuse so switches on with the car and there's no visible cables, but I installed it myself so I can't speak to how Halfords would do it

Well. I went nextbase, as supposedly the best. My first one overheated and crashed constantly, but i got it warrantied and had no issues since. Even automatically saved the footage when I got hit by a van. I hard wired it in too. Mines a 622gw, so a few years old now. I also believe there's better and cheaper options too
