nextbase 522gw

My camera never had a good battery, from new it only lasted under 5 minutes after an overnight charge, and it only got worse. Finally it's dead, it doesn't charge anymore, and as a result it switches off within minutes in the car, especially with the cabin camera attached. NextBase Support does...

My first Nextbase 522gw got so hot I couldn't hold it in my bare hands. I took it back to BestBuy where I purchased it earlier in the week. They had to put it into a box of sand to cool it down. BestBuy replaced the camera, no questions asked. The second camera seemed to work ok for a while...

Hi everyone, I just want to share my experience of this product so that others may avoid the mistake of purchasing it. I've used a Nextbase dashcam for the past 2-3 years, but am now looking for a better brand of dashcam that is more reliable (or even just functional). Here's what has happened...

Hi, The 522GW hasn’t been a decent buy - always has some type of issue. The latest one is where the camera doesn’t even start - once plugged in it stays stuck on the loading screen with a constant beeping and it never goes beyond this screen. Any advice on rescuing it? I’m not buying...

Hi, I've got a nextbase 522gw paired with the rear camera addon (one that you run a cable to the back window). It has been working perfectly fine for the past year or so and has now decided that with the rear camera plugged in, it will either stop recording when it goes to roll over to the next...

Hello everyone, I have a 522GW dashcam that I purchased in May 2021, however, I have noticed that in turning on the ignition key in my car (it's hard wired in), the dash cam starts up normally, starts recording automatically, but after 16 seconds exactly, it stops recording and the playback...

Hi I've just fitted my Nextbase 522GW with rear cam and noticed that the rear cam is quite loose and twists quite easily. Does anyone know if it can be tightened up in any way ? Thanks in advance.

Hi I need some help, I have a Nextbase 522GW and the Nextbase U3 sd card but my camera is not auto starting when I am in the car. Also the app only shows me the video library when I am in the card and activate the camera. I think separate issues but both annoying. I checked and the firmware I...

I have a suggestion for parking mode on the 522gw and other supported models. I noticed that the screen is on when the camera is triggered by something in parking mode. So, if for example, someone wants to vandalize your car and sees the camera, they can just stand on the side of the car and...

I just purchased a Nextbase 522GW Dash Camera, and followed the instructions about ensuring the device was charged properly for at least two hours prior to use. After two hours, I noticed the device’s battery status symbol was a few bars lower than what would logically indicate a full charge. I...

Hello, I've been having issues with my 522gw and its really starting to test my patience... I'm on my third unit now and ive had 4 sd memory cards, 3 of which were nextbase 128g memory cards. The camera freezes daily (nearly evertime on 12 seconds) so i have to reset the camera and sometimes it...

I bought a Nextbase 522GW front & rear cameras from Halfords and had them hardwired in by Halfords. Since day one I've had nothing but trouble with them. But don't get me wrong - I like the cameras - the video quality is good and the interface is easy to use. But the whole purpose of a dashcam...

I'm looking to buy my first ever dash cam just as a precaution. However, I am unfamiliar with what is worth the money and what is not and what brands to look for and what to avoid :( I'm looking to spend around £100-£150 for a dash cam, £150 if it is of a very good quality. Ideally I just want...
