There are just two physical buttons on the Nextbase 522GW. There’s a power button on the left corner and a red button mounted centrally below the screen. This is used to manually record a section of footage – handy when you have seen an incident ahead but weren’t directly involved, so the camera’s g-sensor didn’t sense a collision and save the video for you. Nextbase are the UK’s number one dash cam brand. They sell highly reliable cameras, for a reasonable price, and they offer excellent customer support. If you add one of the various rear camera modules, you can run either of these resolutions paired with a 720p rear view feed (recommended for a cabin camera), or you can run both the front and the rear cameras at 1080p with 30fps (our preferred setting in a front and rear camera setup). Camera Requirement: Dash Cam compatible U3 SD card. We recommend the Nextbase 64GB U3 Micro SD Card. Nextbase SD cards are specifically manufactured and designed for Nextbase Dash-Cams ensuring high quality video footage, reliability and endurance.
The Nextbase 522GW comes with a solidly designed mount that you can attach to the windscreen either with a suction cup or an adhesive. The camera itself affixes to the mount magnetically. If you’re in Great Britain and own a Nextbase dash cam, some insurance providers will give you a discount on your policy. Currently, SureThing offer a discount of 25% for the first year, AXA offer a 10% discount plus 10% discount on the camera, and Swiftcover will give you 12.5%. The Nextbase micro SD range are U3 Ultra High Speed cards, ensuring video data is written smoothly and allows the Dash Cam to capture the road ahead in full HD, 1440p or 4K quality. The Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam offers stunning 1440p HD resolution for crystal clear video recordings. The 522GW is fitted with an inbuilt polarising filter to dramatically reduce windscreen glare and reflection to produce enhanced recordings. It uses a vastly upgraded 3" HD IPS touch screen for easy menu selection and a host of new and exciting features. Discover the range of Motormax reversing cameras.

The dash cam’s power cable goes into the mount instead of plugging into the camera itself. This makes it easy to remove the 522GW and take it with you (e.g. to connect it to your computer, to put it into another car, to show someone your footage, or just for safekeeping). No need to unplug anything, just detach the camera from the magnet mount and that’s it.
Downsides include the low maximum temperature, and missing IR lights on the cabin view module. Also, video quality could be a tad better at this price (it doesn’t come close to the Street Guardian SGGCX2PRO in this regard). While we simply mounted the 522GW in the lower center section of the windshield of our test vehicle, a 2021 Hyundai Venue, Nextbase recommends placing it at the top of the windshield, near the rearview mirror. The company also advises running the 13-foot power cord behind interior panels to hide and protect it, and provides a small tool to help with this. Features and Video Quality a>
