I got the Nextbase IQ 4K, it's connected with OBD port or hard-wired battery and the image is very nice (I don't have samples on my phone) Buuuut : Parking watching requires the suscription Said suscription allows for 4G connection, downloading videos or uploading events automatically to Nextbase cloud. Parking detection is not perfect but I already have both of my neighbor hitting my door, grabbed on camera (Viva España I guess, apparently it's normal here) Ho, and front item + back cam goes to 800€ without suscription Feel free to ask me questions if you're curious
I have a camera thats plugs on the OBD for parking mode (powered without car contact). My Nextbase IQ 4K was way too expensive but having it plugged in he OBD is an "official way" to plug so should not be an argument for the insurance company
If you want parking notifications get the nextbase IQ 4k. You have to pay monthly for the lte service if you want to get notifications when you’re not around if someone does something and you can check on it live from anywhere sort of like a door bell cam. It’s super crisp as well. Worth it for a 50k car in my opinion. Or Drone XC LTE looks super oem and has the same features but I’m not sure if you also have to have a compustar remote start/alarm as well.
Yea no worries. It’s a cool feature. Here’s a video showing a few of them. In my opinion the nextbase is the best and cheapest option. https://youtu.be/hhnsOQ3Xmnk?si=jGehGHrYUg6QYGYu
I use Nextbase iQ 4k which has parking mode plus LTE.
What model do you have because I got the next base IQ after my 622 gave me trouble
I have a Nextbase IQ, but a lot of people like the WolfBox.
NextBase models. Can be hardwired to the interior fusebox also. I have the NextBase iQ, although bulky, in real world driving It doesn’t bother me at all. Best feature for me is Live View and instant notifications if someone even walks remotely near the car 😂 Front and Rear Cams, as well as interior cam
I've got a 4K Nextbase that's been pretty dependable. A lot of dash cams have a problem and really hot weather, but that's not brand specific.
Nextbase are the worst dashcams and their customer service is just as bad. Had to file a chargeback for a refund with them. 1080P in itself is fine on a decent dash cam. I have a blackvue front and rear dash cam and it's crystal clear at 1080 compared to my 4k nextbase one
Front and rear is the only option. Had someone drive into the back of my car, admit fault to me and then told their insurance company I reversed into them. asked his insurance company if they wanted to see the rear dascam footage I had (I didn't tell him I had it) and they promptly paid up and told me he would be blacklisted for making false statements. Got a RoadAngel in my new car but after two months have had that changed as it just drained the battery and now got a Nextbase front and rear camera after advice from multiple people.
We've had Nextbase front and rear for about 5 years now, no issues. Just remember to reformat the SD card occasionally.
