Nextbase 622GW front and rear is solid

Reddit Iconflaccid_porcupine

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 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

Nextbase 622GW is 4K, and the video quality is a lot better. Also, it has a polariser filter, which will reduce the glare from the windscreen reflection.

PLEASE AVOID DIESELBOSS DB5 it has the User Interface from Hell. Also be aware that Garmin 66W is extremely heat sensitive and will crash even in moderate temperatures. And as much as I love the Nextbase **622GW** it is configured at the factory for 'non overwrite' mode. So the moment you need it, it is 'so sorry. I know it looks like I was hard at work all this time, but I stopped recording six months ago'.
