- Today I'm reviewing the first Nextbase dashcam I've owned the current top of the range 522GW. With great resolution and in-built Polarising lens I have high hopes for this machine.

Why change wide angle from 140° to less when chose 1080/60fps ?
Thank you , this is the most honest review of this piece of garbage from Nextbase .. I've used the Next Base 402G for years and it performed in day / night light beautifully every detail .. all good things come to an end , it started playing up, so I thought I buy another nextbase .. big mistake buying this 522GW .. it's a piece of expensive garbage ... no detail / defuse picture in certain lights , heaven alone knows how it performs at night ...
I think you should go through the settings a bit better and advise on the best way to have it set up Thanks 🙏🏻
What is like for recording vehicle registration plates at night on un light roads as I was recently involved in a near head on collision my nextbase duo had failed to pick up the car plate all I got due to the reflection from my window screen as a Just a plane white plate. I see this has enchanted night vision so I am looking to upgrade to this model
Can you explain the purpose of the dual file setting?
Try it on 1080p at night. Makes a massive difference, alot clearer.
Yeah but your wide angle get change from 140 to less because do zoom
@@kuky20061 Yes for some reason the 522 zooms in if you use 1080p 60fps but doesn't it you use 1080p 30fps. Don't know why it does this, my 612 4K doesn't change zoom if you have it on 1080p, 1440 or 4k it stays at 150.
@@ricmeister2011 yeah but 60fps is better than 1440/30fps
@@ricmeister2011 maybe it's question for nextbase support
@@kuky20061 Not on the 522 it isn't, for some reason 1080p 60fps is very poor on my 522, it's more like 720p quality that combined with the dodgy zoom on that setting makes it shocking.
Hi mate good review. I’ve noticed night time footage is greatly improved at 1080 30fps, 👍🏻
I’m setting up this same dash cam. When unplugged it doesn’t want to stay powered on for me like in your review. Did you experience that problem at all?
I believe that the camera sees the external power as the signal to turn on and off with the vehicle so that it doesn’t run out of battery while parked. If you turn it on without being connected to a charge cable it should stay on, alternatively you could hard wire it into a constant power source for the car, though this could run the cars battery down. If you’re just wanting it to stay on for parking mode then there’s an option in settings that should work for that.
see my comment above sometimes the cameras have a weak battery if its not keeping its charge it will need exchanging worth checking.
Yes I have the same thing, if I take it out I can’t actually use it for long as the battery dies within a minute? Mine has done this since brand new
Is it normal for both cameras to not show the correct distances for vehicles? In both the front and rear views the cars seem so far away but in real life I know they are closer.
Also how can I stop the rear camera mirroring? Thanks
Most dashcam footage will make things look further away due to the wide angle lens, plus a higher view point helps see things you don’t normally.
As for the mirrored rear camera, there’s a setting in the MyNextbase phone app to change between mirrored and not. It should also be possible through the onscreen settings on the 522 model.
@@positivedrivingtuition3650 thank you
Nice vid thanks how'd the dash cam 3weeks on
@@marcosg182 ok thanks for the reply what have you changed to then ?
I use Thinkware Q800 pro in one of the cars and U1000 in the other. Both are far more expensive than the Nextbase, but suit my needs better.
how to turn off nextbase 522gw speed stamped.
I bought A 522gw Car Cam And I Noticed that My GPS not working
If it falls short in some areas it would be helpful if you mentioned other brands which are better . R
I Use Thinkware products in my Driving School vehicle and they’ve been very good, just not very price comparable
Got this installed in car yesterday, but having problem with charging. I changed it for 2 hours the battery died. I charged it overnight and same thing. Any advice on what usb plug I should be using?
nextbase frequently suffer poor battery life, my previous model cam was not holding the charge from new, if it does this go back for an exchange.
the batteries in these are proper crap but overall great cam
Test the DVR in the mirror Mio R46 GPS records sound in Stereo with microphones and speaks Loudly bought in DNS for 6000 rubles there is no rear camera
Nothing mentioned about rear cam
Great video, but the audio when unboxing is terrible, and I don't understand much of what you're saying.
I use more than 2 year, quality is very bad for this price
battery out . assistance very bad
