Great Dashcam with lots of features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great dashcam with mobile app capabilities. The install was pretty straight forward; it comes with a windshield mount that has adhesive backing and one that is a suction cup (I used the adhesive one). The actual camera snaps on and off the windshield mount via a really strong magnetic connection to make it easy to take on and off. The camera has lots of options and settings including choosing between 1, 2 or 3 minute recording intervals (this makes it easier to send the clips if needed later). It automatically comes on when you turn your vehicle on and begins recording. It also auto shuts off within a minute once the vehicle is off. The dashcam also comes with a host of smartphone capabilities via an app including Alexa voice integration.

Excellent Dash Cam. Nice remote viewing features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cam took a little bit to update the firmware and get setup in our car but was not difficult. The quality seems to be pretty descent and the video stability is good with the included mount. The video isn't real shaky from the car vibrations etc. There are quite a few features that take a little bit to get used to but really most of them the average person will not mess with. Being able to view the Dashcam video on my phone is very handy.

great cam
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first dash cam and I am very pleased with the ease of install, functionality, and design. The initial update was quick and easy just connected the camera to the computer and the update was done in a couple of minutes. Mounting was easy in the car with the provided sticker. The app is very user friendly to view and share the dash cam videos. If the memory card fills up it automatically clears out the oldest video's to make room for the new videos.

Great Dash Camera! Works extremely well.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Everyone knows the importance of a dash cam, why? too many careless drivers out there. The picture quality on the NEXTBASE 522GW DASH CAM is simply Amazing. The camera is really easy to install, very compact and gets the job done. Won't attract too much attention. With so many aggressive drivers out there, this gives me some peace of mind knowing everything will be recorded in the event of an accident. The quality of the video is excellent! The recordings are smooth and high quality. It does not take up a lot of space . At night the quality of the video is still clear. recommend to purchase.

Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dash cam works really well and produces a nice, clear image. You don't have to worry about trying to decipher small pixelated images. Smaller in size so it's not a distraction or blocking your view.

One less thing to worry about
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think we can all admit that drivers are getting worse and worse everyday. Pretty sure I see 30-40% of drivers all on their phones while driving. It's only getting worse. I deal with a commute where about 1/2 of it is in slow-moving bumper to bumper that then opens up and slows down quick, ripe for someone to rear-end you and push you into the car ahead. Anyway, This dashcam gives me some peace of mind that I'm capturing other people's crazy driving in case an accident occurs. Setup was really easy, the mounting options it comes with are great. I need to figure out a way to route the power (they give you a nice long wire) to that it doesn't just dangle down from my rear-view mirror - not sure how I'll solve that. I do like that this starts to auto-record when my car starts, no need to remember to turn it on, etc...video quality is also great and while the app isn't amazing, it's functional for the basics. It does what I need.

Awesome Product!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product about a week ago and love it. It has very good features and the picture quality is top notch. It comes with tons of extra features as well and the size of the camera is perfect inside of your vehicle when installing it in the front. I would definitely recommend this product for anyone looking to buy one. It is well worth the purchase.

Great quality product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so happy with this product and the peace of mind it brings with it. Firstly installation is easy to do, wires can be easily hidden if you watch a YouTube tutorial. The display is really clear and HD quality. A slight downside is you need a V3 SD card which meant having to go out and source it. Once its installed you can forget about it as it does what it needs to be doing automatically. There is an app you download which can control the dash cam from your phone, it syncs easily but the only downside is only one phone can connect to it at a time which is a little frustrating if you share your car with your partner as I do, as each time we have to re sync it with our phone. The built in alexa is a good gadget which is included. There is an audible noise when it switches off and on so you know that it's working. Overall I am so satisfied with it, I am not technologically minded but even I found it easy to get the hang of.

Handy dandy road trip assistant :)
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using our Nextbase 522GW for about 6 weeks and couldn't be more pleased with viewing quality and overall performance. We have been in the process of moving to a new state and finding a new home so we've really given our dashcam a workout with directions and recording as well as still photos of different locations that may be of interest. I used the windshield mount (without wiring) and found it super convenient to pop on and off to charge. The camera pans a nice large area without the unit obstructing my view, video is very very clear and easy to see smaller details like license plates and road signs. Capturing a photo with a tap of the screen is instant with no shutter delay, very helpful with documenting exits and landmarks we wanted to remember for future reference. Having Alexa to play our favorite road trip music, weather updates, and keep a running list of things we needed to grab at the next rest stop is super helpful without having to mess around with our phones or radio controls while trying to keep our eyes on the road. The charge lasted surprisingly long, plenty of storage in the memory card for 2K video and pics from the entire trip and exploring we did, and I love that we now have a "record" of all the things we saw and will have video to share with family for their reference when they make the trip. Thankfully we didn't need the SOS feature but knowing it's built in gave us great peace of mind, especially in an unknown area. This is the first dashcam I've used and didn't have any issues with installation, use, or app crashing on either of our phones(Galaxy AND iPhone)- super user friendly for first time users! Very happy with my Nextbase and will continue using it with great pleasure.

Good start, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dash cam is nicely made, easy to install with simple instructions and easy to assemble. Unfortunately, it only reads for 3 minutes on a loop! To save a reading, you must press a button - that could be difficult if you’ve had an accident and need the footage as evidence. No SIM card was supplied, so had to order online which took a few days to arrive and at extra cost. The helpline did not answer the phone when I rang with a question - it just played music constantly. If the helpline had answered my call instead of leaving me for too long, they might’ve been able to answer my simple question which in turn might’ve made my review more positive.

Your discription is absoultely wrong. A dash cam is NOT allowed to do longer video loops than 3mins. The records are automatically safed in case of an accident via the g-sensor. In case that you don´t have an accident you are ABLE to safe the file manually. Why SIM-Card? There is not possibilty to insert an SIM - card to the dashcam.

Great dashcam pointless Alexa
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've never own a dashcam before but was excited at the idea. I'm a bit of a scared driver so I like to be safe and wanted proof just incase something does happen. This cam is easy to set up and has a super clear resolution and just my look better than my cellphones video and camera. There was a small blind spot I'm thinking because of where the cam is supposed to set at?? The Alexa option is pointless you can't tell her to record. Alexa is almost on everything so she is pointless on this cam. Overall even if you don't know much about dashcam (there is the manual) if cam is still very easy to use and install.

Great Camera!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This camera is awesome! It come nicely packaged with all the things you need to set it up wherever you want, and has cables for both the cigarette lighter and USB. The instruction manual is super simple to follow. I had this set up with the app in less than 5 minutes! The video is nice and clear, transmits to your phone with no problem, and comes with a year free of emergency SOS services! Really cool camera!

Great features!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nextbase is a trusted brand when it comes to dash cams, and the 522GW is another winner. The 522GW includes a couple new features that are worth the upgrade, like the Emergency SOS Response and Alexa built-in. It also features 1440p HD recording with a polarizing lens. Thanks to the built-in Alexa, I can play music, place calls, or get directions without removing my hands from the wheel or my eyes from the road. Dash cams allow you to have footage that can provide proof in the unfortunate event of a traffic accident, but these added features make the dash cam useful in other ways. The installation is easy, and the recordings are a good resolution.
