  • This is my 3rd Dash Cam from the Nextbase lineup. This model is the first to offer 4K, Super Slow Motion, What 3 Words and more. I go into most features while sharing examples of how they are used.
    The 4K footage looks outstanding, however my rendering software found the codec troublesome while making the TH-cam video, so I had to reduce the quality in the footage a little. I think it is still representative of how it should look, but technically is better that what you are seeing in the footage.

    Here is a follow-up with still pictures of license plates, night detail and some image stabilization comparisons. All of the 4k footage was able to be rendered at its full resolution.

    Good review! What do you think about its 1080P video quality? My 622GW's 1080P is terrible (I see pixel blocks on all of the edges) but I don't know whether it is a common or mine's particular issue.

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! I don’t think what you are experiencing is normal for any resolution. Having used 3 Nextbase camera’s now, even with the 622 set at 1080p, I haven’t seen that issue. Are you using a card with a fast enough write rate? I have seen issues with video recording equipment where a memory card is fast for pulling info off, but too slow writing to the card. This leads to problems with footage. It may not be what is happening to you, but just a thought.

      Do you use the bluetooth feature regularly? Is it the vehicles bluetooth or your phone’s Bluetooth that it is reconnecting to! I don’t know exactly what’s going on either way. Not sure if you did a firmware update or not. You could contact Nextbase for support as well.

      It has a vibration sensor built in and works with or without a charging/power cable as long as the internal battery is holding a charge. It can easily last a week on a charge as long as it doesn’t have to record too many events solely on battery power.

  • @hypnotechno
    @hypnotechno 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks! apparently amazon reviews say this thing Freezes??? any experience of that?? also how many hours driving will it record>. and does it record over old stuff automatically? and can it upload automatically to the cloud? Is this something you can simply forget about when you drive and it does it automatically? It seems insane that you have to set extreme weather mode? I thought it had AI, can't it even detect foggy weather and auto adjust?? sorry for the many questions

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi There! Many questions, here are some answers : Froze once in the heat of the summer. Performed a reset, formatted the card (NEXTBASE BRAND) and no problem since. Continuous recording depends on SD card size. I use a 32GB and drive 1-3 hours per day and it records over a week, maybe more depending on stops and g-shock triggers to record when parked. The recordings will overwrite the oldest files as long as you haven't locked them, or the camera hasn't chose to lock them due to an event (g-shock sensor). The cloud is not automatic, which in my opinion is fine otherwise I would chew through my data plan quickly and that would get expensive. This Camera is also 2+ years old now and I would suspect the next versions will have more improvements. I hope this helps.

If you have parking mode turned on, it will start recording too using battery power and will shut off on its own or if the battery runs out. (Manual states 10-15mins on a full charge)

      It is all App based, so whatever your using (tablet or phone) you can access the dash cam to do everything you’ve mentioned. You have to connect to the wifi network broadcast by the dash cam.

    When the engine is turned on, the camera turns on but after 3 seconds it stops recording time, what is it?

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I haven’t had that issue with any of my cameras (422,522 or 622) but I would try the following:
      - Remove the memory card and see if it has the same problem. If it doesn’t, it might be the card.
      - Try a different charging cable or power source, maybe the voltage is lower than needed. I wonder of it is getting power at all, or is it turning on with a small amount of battery power and then shutting off immediately to conserve power? Sometime the 12v (cigarette) lighter adapters don’t make proper contact in some outlets.
      - Make sure your settings are correct. I have read that the cameras will turn off automatically if there is no motion detected (in some cases). Mine will shot off automatically too but probably after 20-30 seconds of no motion (estimate).
      - make sure your firmware is up to date
      You might have to contact Nextbase if the problem persists.

      Some. The Garmin needs to be connected to a reliable wifi connection and have a constant powered connected.
      The Garmin Dash Cam must be connected to an active Wi-Fi connection.
      Examples include home Wi-Fi, work Wi-Fi, or in-vehicle Wi-Fi.
      Live streaming generally requires a reliable 1 Mbps upload data rate.
      Live View may not work with a poor internet connection or hot spot.

    So according to you, 4k will not catch number plate when you pause at a on coming car???? What is a point of 4k on a dash cam (NEXTBASE) if it will only catch details on low resolution???

    • @Donslife
      @Donslife  ปีที่แล้ว

      Super slow motion means that when you review to footage (recorded at 120fps) you’ll have 4 times as many frames to review per second. This will give you more details to review on your computer, phone or on the units display. The purpose is to have extra video frames captured to review an incident and hopefully see more important details.
