I bought this to replace an older 402G and this difference is amazing. The picture quality is streets ahead especially at night with it having a built in polarising filter. The menu is very easy to use although I've not used the Bluetooth connection or Alexa yet. The only thing to be aware of is if you are upgrading from an older dash cam that is hardwired in then it wont fit the newer ones as these draw more power to enable them to run a rear camera as well if required so you'll have to have a new kit fitted or just plug into your cigar lighter socket. All in all I'm very happy with it.

I spent a number of hours looking at videos on this camera, probably 99% sang the praises of it... What they don't tell you how tricky transferring files(some very large) to your mobile,or that you need the internet running to use alexa,and the narrow field of view compared with other cameras. They responded: we opted for better fidelity of picture in the middle and not have the buildings curving on the outsides. Get the right micro sd card!...i took details off the nextbase card and bought the same spec,but cheaper!,mine has an integral micro sd card. The magnet on the front cam is very strong,the magnet on the rear was rubbish!,a circular cam which rotated when my tailgate closed,because the cable 'pushing' it due to the weak fastening. I had to put some adhesive foam on the body to prevent it rotating. Nextbase sent out a replacement quite quickly(after i complained)and it has more of a magnetic base. Picture on both are good,if fitted,the rear cam has a reversing camera capability,tap on the screen,on the small window rear cam and it becomes a reversing camera. Routing the cable wasn't a problem, depending on what car you have!..my mk3 focus,i routed the front cam over the left side of the car,over the mirror, and the rear,to the right,managing to hide about 90%. In general,its a good for the price,a few niggles getting the angles right...but okRead full review

I bought this because it had Alexa and to replace my old one, the camera I self is good quality and has excellent resolution and is simple to set up and navigate. The problem is with Alexa, the connection between the phone app and camera keeps disconnecting, also when u talk to it you have to speak very loudly and then it will answer on your phone, not good if your phones in your pocket and volumes not at max, this for me is a serious distraction as u end up frustrated with it, my radio is Bluetooth and takes calls via Alexa when I manage to shout the command out, Alexa does not speak on the speakers though as it says she will. There is no manual with it but this is available online. Overall very disappointing.

This Nextbase 522GW dashcam is excellent. Sharp video and lots of features. I used the hardware kit to fit it into my Hyundai I40 saloon, where I connected it directly to the cigar lighter fuse. It was so easy to fit.

Very impressed with 522gw and rear cam. you can download an app for the phone to quick transfer low res video. If you want to keep hi res you need to put card into PC. But the software you download for pc is excellent. It shows the video, location on a map, GPS details, Time and date although you have to set that manually. Size of both cameras is excellent, you can only really see them if you're too close and then it's too late for Audi boy racer. It really provides a comprehensive collection of evidence for police and insurance. Even if you were hit from the side and the video doesn't capture it you would still have enough evidence to show your speed / position etc... And you can grab the front camera and point it at the impact as it will continue to record with battery once disconnected from power.Read full review
