Thanks Erin. Price is way too high especially seeing as how you need to pay for extra features.

I have had the 1k version for about 6 months now, NextBase has yet to release the promised Guardian mode and Roadwatch AI modes, (coming soon in the app) and I don’t think they every will release a fully functional app at this point. I do like being able to live stream the view and it has come in handy on a recent trip where I parked in a large parking structure while on Vacation and I was able to easily check on my Truck at any point. Also, you can remove the dash cam from the mount to access the cables if needed and if you wanted to swap between cars you could just get a second mount w/sticker to do that.

The price scared the heck out of me.

Great review I've had the 4K version since launch in the UK.. it's expensive with the £9.99 per month but worth it. You can release the camera from the sticky mount.. it has a quick release. Whilst holding the speaker part firmly. Slide up towards the roof..

FYI, you can slide the camera up and off the part that has the sticky pad on it. It's designed that way so you can actually detach it from the window.

so they wants $1000 CAD plus up to $26 CAD/month? No dash camera is worth that! Way too many other dash cam makers out there for this greed

Were you able to get witness mode working? Mine always showed 404 page not found when I clicked the link in the text message.

Thanks for the review. Don’t understand how companies put products on the market that are not ready for prime time.

Great review Erin! This is not my kind of dash camera. I rather under $300 and it’s has a Bluetooth to connect with rear cam and your phone. Cheers! ☕️☕️

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive and clear review. Gave me a good overview and helped me to decide.

Great review as always, Erin. I saw these cameras the other day in a UK auto store and was wondering what made them so special to justify the high price; now I know! Looks like a nice piece of technology but, as with all devices of this type, I worry about what happens if the manufacturer drops support or goes out of business - you're left with an expensive paperweight when the cloud services are turned off.

I have the 4K and I can barely see license plates and pictures is a little blurry

Good review of the features. Which seems impressive. However, it is disappointing to read the negative reviews, which seems the manufacturer didn't do a thorough QC on the camera before realising it. For a camera, which is expensive, it's hugely disappointing that customers are experiencing problems. Does it come with a polarised filter to eliminate glare?. The reviews have put me off purchasing the camera at the moment. Can you reach out to Nextbase on the negative customer reviews and your own experience using the dash camera. Night footage should be good for a camera costing so much. There is their previous flagship 622GW, which did receive great reviews, for it safety features.and nighttime footage. You would expect their new flagship to be equally as good, actually better than their 622GW.

Your review was good, but I returned mine, I had an issue as an Uber driver and it didn’t record that incident, I decided to returned it, and witness mode is not working too, good concept lack of promise performance…

The camera can be removed from the base after you stick it to the windscreen. Just need to slide it down

Thanks Erin. AU$1200 or so plus a pay wall - no thanks. 4hrs of 4K footage = how much on the cloud? Are you paying $X per Gb or similar? Lastly not sure how the camera works out if you are "non responsive" - does it offer audio prompts or something?

Run the OBD behind and run the cable up the door panel , OMG really??

Worth every penny for teen drivers I don’t care what it cost I want to see my kid drive and be safe

The price They're asking is insane especially when most of the features aren't there yet, not rocking the new sony starvs 2 sensor

The monthly subscription is a pain but depends on what car you protecting. Then a tenner a month isn't to bad that's in my opinion.

The part of the video knocking install before setup is not accurate. Im seeing the camera base comes off so you can install it before setup.

Lost me At subscription lol. I stopped watching. These dash cameras don’t have to be so complicated. Just plug into the cigarette lighter and drive. Start to Record and keep recording while driving. I recently got into an accident. I have the nex base 222xr front and rear cameras I got at sams club for $199. Worked out fine. Gonna use footage to squeeze the insurer dry lol. Most of these dash cams have internal batteries which we really don’t need. This particular dash cam the IQ just goes way overboard.

Great review. Thank you very much for that. The IQ not listed on Nextbase Australia website as yet so not sure all the features behind the paywall would be available here yet. Definitely interested when it is depending on price. Would likely be around the $1000 mark like Canada.

I find the crack in your windshield distracting ;) And yeah, that thing is like a bus parked on your windshield. A very expensive bus.

Great review, thanks!

If someone drives with a broken windshield for a longer period of time, then this product is of course an overkill ...

I keep my nextbase 522gw including rear camera that prefect for me and using 256GB sd card..

I have a question, using a sd card, will it record more length ?

I had to do a double take on the thumbnail, I though it was an electric razor. A dashcam is a must have these days.

my first camera was faulty, nextbase replaced it and all good now

great review. sigh.. i totally lost intrest when you mentioned "subscription" but i should have known. i currently hae the nextbase 122. non-hd obviously, but no extra monthly fees. video quality is lacking, however. dont wanna upgrade to the better model of their earlier dashcams due to bad reviews, so ill just stay with the one i have.

hello and thanks for honest clip. subscriptions make it unfriendly and string you..BIG NO

I have this 4k IQ and rear camera

I’ve had nothing but grief from my 522gw. Wont connect to phone and battery runs down and it’s hard wired in!!!! SD cards faults. I tried to send one for repair and gave up. I refuse to pay for any subscription to get money. Over a year it’s over £100 a year…. 5 years and it’s cost you double…..I now have a black view Dashcam perfect. No subs to pay

I had to return mine, nothing but issues! Glitchy AF!!!!!

Wow... Not a chance - going to stick to my £70 dash cam thanks. In the UK, it's £499, so you're paying more for it in the first place, harder to install and reinstall, then you have the privilege to pay extra per month for all the features that make you want to buy this in the first place... hard pass.

Easy answer No!

NO support! They don't offer battery replacement services in USA and won't even sell you one to do it yourself. Great dashcam for a couple years, minus the overheating issue, then when you need help, they will offer you a 20% discount for a new replacement. Look elsewhere! This company is awful.

Great Review...Horrible camera...

Pay wall. No way. Massive fail Nextbase.

For such price $$$ night time junk and has 4k what they say looks like it has 1K lol 😢😢😢😢

Good technology but the camera is really rubbish I have the 4K version I wouldn’t buy another one

Don't buy they are charging you for using the app 😮

If you are looking forward to picking up a new car, dont' attempt to fit or set up a dashcam on the pick up day, often its such a pain setting up a dashcam it will spoil the experience of the pick up day, wait a couple of days before fitting a dashcam.

The camera is a disaster . I had this camera just recently . It's so unreliable it's untrue . it has no Wi-Fi connection which is really bad for a modern camera. The app is absolutely useless , the connection is terrible , very very slow at best , and the biggest cock up is if you buy the rear camera it doesn't work . And even if you do manage to get it to work most of the time it will stop working . as from March 2024 I can confirm the rear camera has still got major issues with connectivity problems .... potentially this camera has got a great future but right now stay away , it has been released way too early and it's just not there yet . buy blackvue camera and you will definitely see the difference there is no comparison ...
