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 is to be recording constantly that the car is turned on.

Here's my problems:

1. Sometimes the dashcam says "Insert SD card" When there's one installed. Turn off the car and back on again and it records without a problem.

2. During the day the dashcam makes the "stop recording" sound and then "start recording" sound within a few seconds.

3. Sometimes doesn't start recording with the engine turning on.

I have a Nextbase SD card of U3 standard.

I've had Halfords totally replace the wiring. Front & Back.

I've had 3 new front dashcams and 1 rear camera and 7 (yes 7) new SD cards from Nextbase. I have a Seat Ibiza 1.0 SE Tech 2019 model.

So what's going on?

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Hi Peter,

'Sometimes the dashcam says "Insert SD card" When there's one installed':
Has this happened on multiple occasions, even with different Cameras?

Do you currently have the Hard Wire Kit on a Permanent Live or a Switch Live fuse?

What Firmware is the 522GW currently running?

Thanks,
Millie- Nextbase
