Nextbase 622GW

Beware of what you are buying! – I was probably one of the 1st users of not one, but two of this dashcam in Australia and had many issues with it from the beginning, but the biggest problem just happened recently where I had an accident and seriously required footage for insurance claims. To my biggest surprise and mental turmoil the dashcam had not recorded any footage of the… Read more

scene for going into parking mode while I was waiting with engine running at traffic lights which then needs a decent jolt or moving fair distance to start recording again. This is a major design fault as camera should be able to sense higher charging voltage while the engine running to hold it from going into parking mode like what happened in my case. The company stupidly kept blaming not formatting memory card or not using their brand of SD card for the fault which definitely was not the case. I could not have proof of my case and obviously company did not accept any responsibility at least to to fix the issue and I lost my insurance claim for lack of evidence! Definitely not worth the price tag and definitely not a trustworthy device in your accidents. Just a hyped piece of a garbage toy!! Also the unbuilt battery is a low quality one and is not going to hold any chage after 6 months of use. If anyone gets any lock with saving an important footage onto their phone using the inbuilt wifi let me know. Again dumb engineering: the device goes into sleep mode while awaiting to complete a wifi file transfer which takes more than just a couple of minutes. Maybe it us also SD CARD Problem AS WELL, haha.....

Addendum January 26: well I was in car with another accident with this camera, and once again it failed to record the scene!!! The reason: It got thrown out of its magnetic holder with the jolt of accidents, and having a failed battery which only lasts 2-3 months at most prior to not holding any charge whatsoever, it failed to keep the footage related to the accident. Such a piece of cr#p... . You just feel so blackmailed by this company... they should call it a joke-cam or rip-off cam rather than dash-cam...

Mounting tape not built for Australian climate but good customer service – I purchased 2 x dash cams for Christmas presents Dec 2022, one for me and one for my wife. The positive - The customer service is pretty responsive and helpful - The technology in the camera is good - Camera record quality good - Camera build quality good The not so positive - In 6 days I went through 4 mounting bracket (2 x supplied with each… Read more

dash cam) on two different cars. This was due to the mounting tape used not holding up to the AU climate. Unfortunately, the dropping onto the dash resulted in both cameras getting some light scratches. :-( not a good start to our Christmas present. Funny initial advise given was not to mount the camera on the windscreen my response with an LOL was "Dear Nextbase, I am sure if I mounted in the shade of the glovebox or a side window it would stay mounted but the picture quality of road events occurring in front of me might be somewhat reduced". The fix so far, has been to buy some gorilla tape from bunnings and use that instead and mount the camera at the bottom of the windscreen not behind the rear-view mirror as recommended. - What really peed me off was the requirement for special SD card, as always proprietary SD cards recommended. Annoying because I have crap tons of large SD cards, but this needs a special twice the price card. - Phone client crap, like other dash cams I have owned once again the software is lacking in features - For what seems to be the going price for these units at time of reviewing $550 - $730 AUD it is about 30% overpriced.

it has its quirks ! – so i bought this thinking at last 4k video recording with stabilization built in, yes it works... but the 4k in my opinion is only good enough for town driving not so good on hiway usage. to start off with this product only offers stick on bases and no suction mount, which i found out you have to buy seperately at a rather stupid cost and then you… Read more

have to specify gps mount or non gps mount as the gps module is not intergrated into the internal workings of the dashcam. rather stupid idea !! to connect the dash cam to the downloadable nextbase app is next to impossable,and dont even try to run alexa on it, i mean just dont try, seriously. while the footage at 4k is decent enough at low speeds i found that running the camera at 1440p 60fps gives much better results at hiway speeds oh and dont try to turn on stabilization at 1440p it only works on the 4k setting,now heres a stupid feature if you want to download content from the sd card via wifi to your nextbase app you have to have the recording settings set to dual record,meaning 2 video files one is high quality and one low quality why its like this god only knows..so the 128 gig card i use doesnt last long in this setting. so i dont use the app its just a waste of time. on the plus side the footage im getting at 1440p 60fps is some of the best ive seen, number plates are clear,when you pause the clip its crystal clear. this unit is very pricey and to say its top of the market i would strongly disagree,however as i have forked out the money i will continue using it. if you want the nextbase 622gw i suggest getting the lower model that does the 1440p,i wish i had .

A (rather expensive) waste of money – Very expensive, but as low tech as it gets. This dashcam COULD be great - but it's not. It sells itself on a promise of desirable features that simply do not work. Onboard Alexa: does not work. Wifi connectivity: works very occasionally and then stops. Video recording: intermittent - if you need a recording for evidence it's a lucky dip, it may… Read more

have recorded it but most likely not. Battery: literally lasts 5 minutes so parking mode is useless. Don't be fooled by the price tag, the MyNextBase cameras are a very expenaive waste of money.
