Thinking of purchasing the next base 622, but would like to know the following if anybody can help. Assuming the Dashcam is connected to WiFi, could I veiw live footage away from the car, for instance, if car parked on a car park and I’m elsewhere?
On 1440 30fps, can you easily read number plates? Or should I go for the latest 4K 622? Can you connect this to cloud for automatic upload? Finally, have you ever hooked it to a battery pack for parking mode?
Hi, there isn’t a 6 version of the Series 2 yet and the series 1 doesn’t have Bluetooth. You can tell the series by the middle number, in your case a 1. You’ll either need to wait and upgrade to a 622 when available or choose a 522 which is the closest spec to the one you have.
It’s possibly because the device isn’t connected via wi-fi. You should get a prompt to connect to a new wi-fi network and once joined live video works. Try downloading a video from the device and see if that works, it should also bring up the wi-fi connection. Might be worth checking wi-fi isn’t turned off on your phone.
Yours seems to work a lot smoother than mine 😢 just bought mine today and not impressed with it at all, especially the app. The camera itself won’t record and has a mind of its own, when it does record the videos won’t load on the app or download either. The camera has frozen twice, Alexa doesn’t work and I can’t seem to pair it with nextbase cam viewer app either as an alternative 🤦♂️ so far I think it’s a complete joke and feel as though I’ve just wasted my money. Everything is up to date, I’ve tried every which way possible to get it to work as it should 🤷♂️ it will also only charge vis the direct usb ‘in’ and won’t charge through the mount 🤯
Try contacting Nextbase support, there were some early reports of faulty units. Mine has the odd glitch but generally works on a daily basis. Am trying to find time to upload a progress updating on how I’m finding it.
First you said you were connected to the camera via Bluetooth, then near the end you were connecting via Wi-Fi, which is it? because its impossible to do it via Bluetooth as it doesn't have it. Know what you are talking about before you make a video.
It connects by both Bluetooth and WiFi. The initial connection is via Bluetooth then it connects to a dedicated WiFi access point the 522 creates for high speed download of videos. If you don’t want to download video you can just connect via Bluetooth. Take a look at my initial setup video.
It was very helpful, thank you for the clip
Hi Paul
does Siri work with this instead of Alexa ?

Apparently it doesn’t like iPhone 7 as they are sending me a new sd card with 14.8 on it. Works fine with iPhone 6s though.
New version has just appeared in the App Store, might be worth updating and giving that a go

You need to download the app called 'cam viewer' that's the app for older nextbase models
Paul Maloney good video 👌🏻 do you know why I can’t see live video on my iPhone its say live video unavailable
