Product Information

If that isn't quite enough improvements and upgrades for you to take in, the 522GW is modular, too. In short, that means you can connect a Rear View or Cabin View camera to the body of the main dash cam unit. This means that the 322GW, 422GW and 522GW can be made into dual dash cams. The rear camera footage for the 422GW can be viewed here. In most cases, enabling parking mode will be sensible, too. This is best used with a hard-wired power connection, for which you can buy an optional kit, but I found that the camera’s small battery was enough to power it while our frequently used car was left idle.

Customise your dash cam for all round protection with Nextbase's add-on cameras (sold separately). Simply plug in an add-on camera to record the road behind as well as the road ahead. Connect the Rear View Camera or Rear Window Camera for an extra layer of protection against tailgaters and rear impacts, or connect the Cabin View Camera for a wide angle lens to record inside the vehicle. 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.Gone is the big clunky mount of the 512GW. Replacing it is a mount that connects straight into the body of the camera using a magnetic attachment. It's very smart. The charging cable also plugs directly into the camera or the mount - there's the option for both. As for video footage itself, the Nextbase 522GW does a pretty good job, and is one of the better dash cams we have used in recent years. Exposure is handled well to ensure good detail across both shadows and highlights, while the integrated polarising lens helps reduce windscreen glare on sunny days. The lens rotates so you can adjust how effective it is.

But despite some upgrades, it shares the same 1440p resolution as the next model down in the range. Is it worth the extra outlay? Here are my thoughts. Design and features Low winter sun is often a stern test for dash cams. The 522GW’s polarising filter helped improve footage when the sun was blasting through the front screen, cutting down glare and completely removing reflections of the cabin that otherwise would have interfered with the view out. However, I felt at times that the camera’s exposure was darker than I’d like. Very simple to use. It's similar enough to previous models to make it very easy to operate if you've had a Nextbase cam in the past, but with a number of revolutionary new features. Aside from the various improvements to the footage quality and whatnot, which we'll get into, the first noticeable difference is the mounting system of the 522GW.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 dash cam itself is smaller and more discreet than the 512GW, too, 35% smaller in fact. The adhesive mount is much smaller than the suction one though, so that's something to bear in mind if you're conscious of how much space the dash cam will take up on your windscreen. faqaccordion article {padding-top: 0!important;font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.2em; padding-left: 0.7em; padding-right: 0.7em;}
