“I have NextBase 622GW with a rear cam, hardwired (they come to place of your choosing to install it). The cost was £450 and worth every penny.”
“I have nextbase 622gw. Honestly, overpriced. I'd get a blackvue next time”
“I have a Nextbase 622gw with the rear cam as well. I like it but it's a pricey cam.”
“The footage is very clear, I tend to use 1440p 60fps, the night footage is meh, you can't see number plate visibly but then again I don't think any dashcam on the market performs well at night.”
“Three months after we had it professionally installed, our car died in our driveway one morning. AAA diagnosed it as a problem with the dashcam drawing too much power and draining the car battery.”
“Quite Possibly one of thee best Dashcams for the money.”
“I have a Nextbase 622gw 4k res with the rear camera on my AE102. A little expensive but has loads of features and the 4k is crisp.”
“My other vehicle has a new Nextbase 622gw (and windshield) and it's many times better.”
“Its a Nextbase 622GW, 4k, I actually want to replace it as it has many issues.”
“Thanks. I bought a Nextbase 622GW Dashcam at Bestbuy last Friday, as it touted having a live view functionality. After leaving it charging overnight, the battery was down to 25% after being on for 20 minutes not connected to a power source, and the mobile app for iOS was so janky that even when the device connected to the cam's Wi-Fi, the app would always re”
“I personally run the next base 622GW with their rear window camera. From some reviews i read it have high marks and praises.”
“I just reviewed the 622GW and I quite like it. It's super easy to set up and video quality is very good.”
“I positioned mine so it's on the left of the rearview mirror and I can't see it. It's a setup and mostly forget about it type deal.”
“My nextbase was nothing but trouble. Constant overheat issues (on not-hot days) and 2 suction mounts failed. I had the 622GW, the best in their lineup.”
“I picked the Nextbase 622GW with the rear window camera as it has great review online. Cables are easily hidden behind the overhead liner, the A pillar cover and the door seals.”
“I've currently got a Nextbase 622gw front/rear, wired to the fuse box (very easy to do). Decent quality footage, though not as good as the Viofo A119 I had before, and had no problems with it.”
“I have an old 622GW and I went through absolute hell trying to get mine to connect to the app to transfer files, had issues with locking up, and it would also randomly stop recording.”
“the mount for my Nextbase 622GW has yet to come loose. Not even when I've put up a sunscreen.”
“My 622GW keeps falling off. It’s been hard wired and for the second time in ten months (new sticky pad) it’s fallen off. Just hanging and lovely view of the tree tops. I’ve had enough.”
“I use the Nextbase 622GW. I got it on Black Friday for like $250 and it goes on sale quite often for less than $300 in my area. In all honestly, that camera is an overkill for what I do but it’s damm good and reliable.”
“622GW with the cabin view attachment. Decent job of capturing the rear and drivers window, I just crop the video to the rear window.”
“My parents got me a 622GW with the rear camera for this past Christmas and I’ve liked it so far, the picture is really clear.”
“I got the Nextbase 622gw with the rear camera attachment (the one in the back window, not the one that records the cab). It’s a little more expensive than other dashcams but it’s worth it. Front camera is 4K and back is 1080.”
“I wouldn't recommend the 622GW. It's a very heavy camera and that makes it vibrate on the mount. It has a battery and runs hot. I found the rear camera hardware to be subpar.”
Practical notes owners raise — setup, quirks, and issues to watch for. They don't say whether the person likes the product, so they're not counted in the score, but they inform the pros, cons, and who it's for.
“I have the nextbase 622GW which can do 4K@30fps or 2K@60fps. I find that 30fps is enough to identify plates in most cases. When I’ve tested 60fps it seems the gain in frame rate is offset by the drop in resolution so it’s actually worse.”
“We have nextbase as well the 622GW, and like you said it does restart on its own every now and then.”
“I also experienced freezing and recording issues. Update: I found the 12.4 version on a forum and didn’t experience the issues when test recording for a few minutes!!”
“does it have a battery and does it have parking mode? Mine said it does, but turns out it won't activate without buying their hardwire kit.”
