  Value for the money

  This is a review of Nextbase 522GW. Out of the package the unit looks very solid. It comes with pretty long cable that fits into the aux outlet. Wisely they have included a tool to remove the trim of the car to do the wiring as well. The base that fits on the windscreen has a very strong Sticky base. The unit holds onto the base with a magnet, so it is easy to remove the unit and throw it into the glove box. High temperatures inside the car is a problem in Australia. Ability to remove the unit from the base easily could be a solution for this. But havent had a chance to check with high temperatures stop. Standard features Standard features such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity to the phone help transferring files using a next base app easily. One touch protection of the files, one touch snapshot feature are also available. Files recorded are of decent quality and loop recordings is also available. Special features Special features include Alexa connectivity. How far connectivity is useful depends on the user. Telemetric and map data are also saved with the file but I presume the phone resources are used for this. Polarized glass in the front helps reduce the glare. Battery life looks limited but you dont need a large battery. Inbuilt display and speakers help play the videos in the unit. You can also purchase a separate camera that snaps into the unit to record inside the vehicle as well. The unit is very solid, gives a very stable and smooth operation and provides very stable connection to the app. This unit is a very good value for the money.

  Nextbase 522GW Dashcam

  Product seems good so far. Recommend buying a Nextbase Card to insert, they work better.

  Feature rich dashcam when working

  This nextbase 522 GW unit has a common problem, which was found after the unit kept issuing an alarm until the battery ran down. On accessing the forum of nextbase users of the 522GW this particular model will take exception to the memory SD card and the card needs to be reformatted to be able to be used again. An update was provided by Nextbase for the model and so far no further alarm. The update seems to exclude one of the features of this model. the current GPS Speed of the vehicle as a screen saver.

  not impressed

  very disappointing unit freezes after a few hours driving has to be reset bit tricky when driving so you have to stop to press the reset button. the battery has a charge life of less than a minute and when ignition is off it shuts off with low battery warning it gets very hot when working the app a mine field to get through ( the main reason for purchase was the wifi app)

  Great all round dashcam.

  I like the 4K resolution on the from facing camera and the HD resolution on the rear facing camera. The ease of use and ability to easily send the footage to your phone.

  Awesome

  I've had a few other brand cams before and did some research to land on this one. Easy to install. Easy to work. A bit clunky in regards to the access to the app (more a novelty than anything) otherwise records extremely well.

  Pretty happy

  I purchased this within the last week and it does what it says on the tin. Build quality is nicer than expected too. Just bought an add on cam to attach.
