Nextbase 422GW Front Dash Cam, 2K 1440p with Wi-Fi and GPS

Easy to setup and use. It does take some screenshots on uneven roads or potholes but it’s just the matter of formatting the memory card every now and then which the camera can do. The quality is good and it was worth paying that little bit extra for a good dash cam.

This is my first Dash cam, so I looked at various different devices. This one had great reviews and you get plenty of functionality for you money. 1st, it is very easy to configure, make sure you download the app and that will then pair the device to your phone. There are plenty of settings that are easy to use. The installation was simple I used the charging cable, It is a good length and I had no problems running the cable alone the side piller and above the sun blind. One thing to remember is to plug the charging cable into the window mount before fixing to the windscreen, as it can be a little tricky post fixing. What is a massive plus and I have not seen this before is the magnetic fixing bracket, this makes fixing and removing so easy with no fear of pulling the fixing mount off the windscreen massive plus. Play back could not be simpler, just open the app, with the camera power on, it will then create its own WiFi connection to the phone and you just download the clips that then save to your phone or you can use the USB cable and link the device to a PC. So in all, easy to setup, great video quality and a good price. Very pleased.

Mostly very pleased with this device. It is tiny and hides behind the rear view mirror without distraction, taking good, clear video. The software is pretty straightforward to use, both on the phone and PC apps. Wireless connection is sometimes flaky, but mostly works well. Can't find a way to "choose all" videos for easy deletion, but it's pretty quick and simple to do. Excellent metadata on the videos, with speed, location etc. A nice entry level dashcam.

Much smaller than my earlier version (402) purchased some years ago. Easy to install but you need to spend time on getting the position right especially if you opt for the rear-view camera add-on. Having established the right place by having an assistant hold the camera by hand against the screen I used masking tape to mark out the horizontal and vertical axes so the mount itself would be reasonably square. Those sticky pads are VERY sticky and you only get one shot at it otherwise you have the fun of removing it. Currently fitted to an Hyundai i10 and I found a reasonably clean route for the power cable under the headlining emerging at the bottom right of the screen across the dash to the cigarette lighter socket. I'll stick with that for now but might upgrade to the wired in option later. Overall it works very well with a U3 class Samsung micro SD card. One nice feature is that the screens average that blanks the display after a minute or so can be set to show your speed derived from the GPS system.

The camera is great - and once I had the Nextbase SD card installed it worked a treat. With the other card the camera was affected really badly. I phoned the support number given in the box and guys at Nextabse were fantastic. They tried everything they could think of, finally suggesting - 'let's just try it without the SD card. Obviously it could record, but suddenly everything else worked as expected. I tried for a refund on the SD card that didn't work, but was told it was NOT possible. Fantastic camera, fantastic support and help from Nextbase, but I'm still miffed that I have a useless SD card that I can't get a refund on.

A great camera spoilt by rubbish support! I have had my camera for over a year and it has worked flawlessly however, today I thought I had better just check it and see if it was up to date, big mistake, huge mistake! After much faffing about I finally managed to get my Nextbase app to actually recognise the camera, after yet more faffing and fighting it finally managed to work out it did need updating! I have followed every instruction to the letter but it is having none of it, it connects, it disconnects, it cannot find the camera, it cannot connect to the camera, at one point I had a screen that told me the update was 50% done, it never moved for the 50% then, yet again the camera disconnected and no matter what, I was never able to get back to that screen and eventually ended up where the camera would not connect to the app at all! Surely in 2026 doing something as simple as updating the firmware shouldn't be this difficult should it? Great product just don't try updating it!

Small and discreet and exceptionally easy to setup

Quality of recordings and pictures is perfect. Easy to set up and mostly easy to use. However, I just could not get it to download any video clips to my iPhone Pro. It made a ‘high-speed wifi connection (apparently) but then just wouldn’t download a single solitary clip. Every time I wanted to download clips I had to unmount it and remove the micro SD card. Total pain. Won’t buy it again.

Con los aperos de cámaras interiores o de espejo retrovisor, incluso la cámara trasera, es todo lo que necesitas.

Istallazione app, associazione con telefono, aggiornamento rirmwere 10 minuti. Lingua italiano perfetta sul dispositivo, l'app purtroppo no ma anche mio figlio di 8 anni sarebbe in grado di usarla. Fissaggio a parabrezza molto semplice e tiene conto delle diverse auto: se spostata da un lato (io vi consiglio il sinistro) anziche da un altro non cambia di molto. Arrivata con un giorno di anticipo. Signori, su questa roba bisogna spenderci, altrimenti... Francamente non comprendo perché la 522 viene venduta al doppio e l'unica differenza è il filtro di polarizzazione che costa 20 euro e il display da 3 pollici anziche 2.5, ma il display serve solo a posizionare correttamente la telecamera e navigare sul menù. Lasciate perdere la fuffa!

Je l'utilise tous les jours ! J'ai profité d'une promo qui regroupait la dashcam avec la cam arrière. Et bah figurez vous que la cam arrière est un MUST ! Je ne m'en passe plus ! Qualité au top, on arrive a distinguer les plaques des véhicules et s'installe en un rien de temps. Par contre il vous faudra 3 choses indispensables: - une batterie externe pour dashcam, sinon ça pompe sur votre batterie du véhicule et vous n'aurez plus de jus le lendemain pour démarrer. - un filtre polarisant qui se colle à votre lentille de la dashcam, ça évite que les reflets du soleil rende certaines régions de votre vidéo illisible à cause des éblouissements. - une carte MicroSD class3 car vous enregistrez sur deux flux en même temps (avant et arrière). Points négatifs : - la ventouse se décolle dès qu'il fait plus de 25°C dans la voiture, quand elle tombe pendant qu'on conduit, c'est lourd. - l'appli smartphone ne sert à rien, elle bug sans cesse et ne communique pas (voir très mal) avec la dashcam.

I read many reviews online (not just amazon) prior to choosing this camera and it does not disappoint. This model (and the slightly larger 522) always seemed to take the top reviews. I chose this one because I wanted a smaller form factor than the 522 and it gives me all the same features minus the larger screen size (which I don’t even see when it is mounted) and the polarizing filter (which can be added on if I choose). The video it great. The app to download it to my phone is just ok. Sometimes it is quirky on connecting. So far, the suction mount has held tight without issues. The build quality is excellent, it feels solid, and I love the way it attaches to the mounting bracket via a magnet (very strong too). The attachment allows the wire to remain plugged into the bracket and not directly to the camera itself, making it a cleaner install and easier to remove as needed. I bought the kit to hardwire it, which I received, but I’m still waiting on the company to send me the proper compatible fuses. They promise they will ship them free of charge, but since they come from England, it has become quite a wait. Until they come, I can’t finalize the install so the wire is hidden.

Excellent camera. Easy to configure with a good view of the world.
