I bought the 512 GW before finding this site, and would probably go for the A119S V2 now, but I like the images from the Nextbase and the PC viewer for this model is very good. I'm still well within the Amazon return period but want to give the 512 a fair trial before deciding to return it.
The main issue is the way it mounts, it hangs from the mount, even when using the smaller sticky one, and is far from discreet, even behind the mirror it looks clumsy and is too close to the back of the mirror. I'm replacing an ancient first generation Smarty (circa 2011), and it sat snugly to the screen and hardly noticeable, but things have moved on since then and it needs upgrading.
Has anyone managed to find a better way to mount the Nextbase cams? I almost fitted it to the dashboard, upside down, (you can invert the video), but common sense said otherwise, although with a custom made black acrylic case around it, it might not be so daft.
