Using the 522GW's bright, responsive touchscreen to navigate menus and adjust settings is much easier than fiddling with the buttons of other models. The Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam produces a super-sharp 1440p (or Quad HD) video image that in our tests allowed us to clearly see details that were indecipherable with most other dash cams. It delivers the sharpest video we've seen, is the easiest to use, and has handy features that you don't get with most other dash cams. After researching more than 250 models and testing about 40, we've found that the best overall dash cam is the Nextbase 522GW. That's why a dash cam can be a critical aid if the unexpected happens. And as frightening as that may be, it can be just as distressing to be blamed for a crash that's not your fault. Wham! A car crash can happen in an instant.

For example I left the dashcam connected to a power bank (4K Amp) overnight and only lasted for about 3 hours because of the constant traffic on the street (or leave the motion detection for inside and the G-sensor for the outside action).This post was done in partnership with Wirecutter. I have one suggestion though that can improve the product and is about the Parking Mode which is activated by Motion Detection and would be nice to have the option of EITHER activating it by motion OR by the G-Sensor therefore helping save power (car battery/power bank) and card memory space. My favorites features are listed on the pros section and while I see some cons, they are mostly due to the compact size of the product, like the screen size, button responsiveness and indicators lights and have not much to do with what the product offers and/or intents to accomplish. Overall Review: This is my first dash cam and my overall impression and experience from the moment I opened the box until I starting using it on the road is VERY positive so far. GPS mount not included (FREE after registration) OBD power cable not included (Optional) LED indicators lights almost unnoticeable Power & Snapshot/Parking Mode buttons not very responsive (requires hard press)
#THE WIRECUTTER DASH CAM UPDATE#
Free GPS mount offer after registration (I will update review once I receive it to confirm) Warranty is extended from 12 to 18 months after product registration Plenty of removable storage option to add (from 32GB up to 256GB) Easy to navigate menu with plenty of basic/advanced settings Overall Review: For anyone who wants a very good dual cam in one device to see traffic in front of you and the inside of the cabin, this is a great option. You can see out the windows from the inside cam, but when very bright outside it gets a bit washed out as it is focused on the inside of the cabin. Front camera at night is good but sometimes with bright lights it makes other parts of image very dark. They seemed to stop working correctly one night. I also got the GPS mount and it does its job and is an easy swap.Ĭons: I have had to reload the firmware to get inside camera IR lights to work again. Inside with the camera going to black and white and having the Infra Red lights, you can see great. It can struggle when very dark and some bright lights are coming straight at you, but it does the job.

Night vision out of front camera is decent.

I’ve tired higher resolution with just front camera and you can see a bit of a difference but I like the 2 camera mode best. Picture quality when using both cameras is very good. I hid wire around passenger side going over and around windshield on my Jeep Grand Cherokee with enough length. Mount works well and cord length for power cable is good.
