522GW

However, taking the 25% SureThing! insurance discount into account, and the fact that many insurers now want GPS, time and speed stamping on submitted footage - the 522GW is a very smart option. While we simply mounted the 522GW in the lower center section of the windshield of our test vehicle, a 2021 Hyundai Venue, Nextbase recommends placing it at the top of the windshield, near the rearview mirror. The company also advises running the 13-foot power cord behind interior panels to hide and protect it, and provides a small tool to help with this. Features and Video QualityThe new Nextbase range takes microSD cards up to 64GB - we're currently using 32GB microSD cards in ours. As for the batteries, they've been upgraded along with the rest of the dash cam hardware. They range now uses Lithium Polymer batteries (3.7V/320mAh) and intelligent battery charging with thermal cut out in the circuity – this ensures the batteries now charge at the correct rate depending on their temperature and dramatically prolongs their life. Should I buy one? You will need to 'Forget' the camera from within the Bluetooth settings, then go to WiFi and tap the three dots and forget the Nextbase from saved networks. Very simple to use. It's similar enough to previous models to make it very easy to operate if you've had a Nextbase cam in the past, but with a number of revolutionary new features. Aside from the various improvements to the footage quality and whatnot, which we'll get into, the first noticeable difference is the mounting system of the 522GW. After a successful connection has been established then tap 'learn more' for Alexa, enable it and then select 'Open Alexa App' at the bottom of the screen. I found it particularly hard to eject the microSD card from this camera, needing to resort to a match to push it in far enough to release.

Gone is the big clunky mount of the 512GW. Replacing it is a mount that connects straight into the body of the camera using a magnetic attachment. It's very smart. The charging cable also plugs directly into the camera or the mount - there's the option for both. I'm really sorry you're experiencing that; its not what we've designed ti to do of course.

But we still found the Nextbase’s view to be wide enough, providing a complete view across the front of our car, and without distortion. The 522GW is the top spec, updated incarnation of the 512GW in Nextbase's brand-new dash cam range - the Series 2. As the GW in the name suggests, the 522 features GPS and WiFi - just like its predecessor - as well as a number of other impressive features. Resolution is 1440p @ 30fps with a 140-degree viewing angle and a built-in polarising filter. At a faster frame rate (60fps), resolution drops to 1080p. But despite some upgrades, it shares the same 1440p resolution as the next model down in the range. Is it worth the extra outlay? Here are my thoughts. Design and featuresThe Nextbase 422GW brings all of the features of Alexa from your home into the car, along with voice control so you can focus on the road. Get driving directions, make calls, play music or ask Alexa to send the video straight to your phone, all hands free. Open My Nextbase Connect and tap 'Connect to dashcam', as long as your camera is still displaying 'Connecting' you should be able to connect the two. Use of non-approved accessories, which includes the use of SD cards that are not compatible with dash cams.
