NextBase’s magnetic windscreen mount makes it easy to fit and remove this camera from the car, although you will need to unplug the wired Rear Window Camera if you buy one. You’ll probably want to enable the screensaver rather than have the big, distracting screen stay on while driving. 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. Curiously, the port for the car's 12-volt charger is on the mount and separate from the USB charge port. The 12-volt charger port is also buried in a cavity in the mount that makes the cord difficult to attach and detach, although once it’s in place you won't have to worry about moving it, unless you're moving the camera from one vehicle to another. In addition, a ferrite core (the bulbous part on many charge cords that make power transfer more efficient) near the mount adds to the visual bulk of the unit, although it can be removed. The new Nextbase range takes microSD cards up to 64GB - we're currently using 32GB microSD cards in ours. As for the batteries, they've been upgraded along with the rest of the dash cam hardware. They range now uses Lithium Polymer batteries (3.7V/320mAh) and intelligent battery charging with thermal cut out in the circuity – this ensures the batteries now charge at the correct rate depending on their temperature and dramatically prolongs their life. Should I buy one?
It’s quite well specified, with GPS support, Alexa integration and an SOS feature. There’s also a big 7.6cm colour touchscreen and a polarising filter to help cut down on glare. However, taking the 25% SureThing! insurance discount into account, and the fact that many insurers now want GPS, time and speed stamping on submitted footage - the 522GW is a very smart option.

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. 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. The Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam has all the benefits of the 422GW, plus a polarising filter that provides unbeatable picture quality to give you a superior dash cam experience. The polarising filter is an anti-glare upgrade to dramatically reduce windscreen reflections and record clearer images in direct sunlight. Nextbase are Europe's leading car technology and dash cam brand, with a product to suit every requirement. Nextbase dash cams are designed in the UK, with key focuses on video quality and ease of use. Nextbase began their journey providing a wide range of in-car technology products including DVD Players, before moving onto dash cams and in-car safety products. The Nextbase 522GW dash cam sits near the top of the company’s six-model range. Despite sharing many of the same specifications as the 422GW, it’s larger to make room for a bigger 7.6cm screen, which has a significantly higher resolution.
Emergency SOS: The SOS feature notifies emergency services whenever the driver is unresponsive, alerting them of location via GPS and other details. I'm really sorry you're experiencing that; its not what we've designed ti to do of course. Please see below, or call in on 02920 866 429 where we can help. The 522GW is the top spec, updated incarnation of the 512GW in Nextbase's brand-new dash cam range - the Series 2. As the GW in the name suggests, the 522 features GPS and WiFi - just like its predecessor - as well as a number of other impressive features. Resolution is 1440p @ 30fps with a 140-degree viewing angle and a built-in polarising filter. At a faster frame rate (60fps), resolution drops to 1080p. After a successful connection has been established then tap 'learn more' for Alexa, enable it and then select 'Open Alexa App' at the bottom of the screen. Finally, I should mention that this camera misses out on advanced driver safety aids such as lane departure warning or emergency stop notifications. While these might be useful in older vehicles without them built in, I haven’t typically found the dash cam versions to be especially responsive or helpful, so it’s not a great loss.

The neodymium magnetic attachment is exceptionally strong, too, so your dash cam should never detach from the windscreen and none of the footage we captured is shaky. The magnetic mount attachment also makes clipping the dash cam onto the mount much less fiddly than before. div>
