I got one last year, It was a toss up between the 422 & the 522, The 522 is similar however as standard it has a polarising lens. If you notice there is a lot of reflections in your footage on the windscreen, I noticed this on mine. I ordered the separate polarising lens and fitted it. Fitting instructions & calibration using a paper sheet on the dash were excellent it was like looking at trick photography. The resulting footage was remarkably better looking, nearly professional in appearance, well worth the couple of quid.
Yes, this is the add on rear view cam. There is also a sepparate rear view cam you can buy that is a ball shape and sticks to the back window with a sepparate cable running from it.
Really informatic Video. I was looking for a good hands on and your footage is the only one which is uploaded in the RIGHT resolution. So many guys did a 1080p Video to show a 1440p and 1080p60 Quality Test. They get to have a YT Lesson or something else. Thanks a lot and stay healthy at this special time. Cheers, drink a Corona and have a nice day.
You do realise that TH-cam can only display 1080p video resolution? so his uploading 1440p res video did nothing as TH-cam automatically reduces it to 1080p. You are praising the guy for achieving nothing. If you click on the settings under his video you will see the maximum you can view is 1080p.
what about those petty thieves who might want to break in to your car knowing that next base dash cams are quality stuff? Honestly that's my main worry with conspicuous dash cams :(
Hi... Can be created routines to start and stop recording, change viewer, etc.? The skil allows to Alexa speaks spanish and english or only english? Thank you.
Looking to purchase the Nextbase 422gw....and add the optional polarizing lens. Cannot find the specific specs on what type lens and Sony sensor are in this dash cam. Anybody to point me in the right direction? Nextbase website only mentions that they work closely with Sony and did not find any specific reference in the manual I looked at on- line.
Why are all dash cams so sht nowadays. How difficult it is to put decent sensor in it instead of all unnecessary features like gps etc. nice video though
Most dash cam are waste of money. You won't be able to record the license plate number until cars come to complete stop. If you live in the United States. The rear camera is useless. Because the license plate is always mounted on the back. Only dash cam that could record license plate are the ones that police use. Those cost over $1000.
Not a fan of the way you split the video that should have been just one video. Why did you do it that way? Do you know how hard it is when you’re watching on a TH-cam app (TV, Roku, etc. or phone) vs. computer to use thumbnails in videos, or even get into the details, nevermind the comments sections? And I have autoplay off whenever possible, but all the apps on all the devices generally have it defaulted to ON, so most people just leave it that way. Autoplay is never going to follow your part 1 video up with part 2 unless people just happen to be playing a playlist you created to make them play in order, back-to-back.
Would have been a good video if it was not for the bloody loud annoying music, why do people think music has to be playing all the time. even when they are talking, had enough after about a minute.
You can see I left a comment here 6 months ago. Do not buy this piece of crap dashcam. The SOS is kicking us out every month and this is having a weird effect on us. Before we had a dashcam we never thought about accidents or breakdowns. They are just the sort of thing you deal with should it happen. Now that we have this 422GW that won't work properly, we feel in more danger, we notice that the SOS support won't be there if we do have an accident. This camera will give you more insecurity than security. Don't do it.

Bought nextbases lense for it myself, as had the same issue. It makes a world of difference!
We bought one based on your reveiw and yup, very impressed. But..... It's now only a 3 month trial for the SOS not 1 year.
Good review. This will probably be what I buy
first review ive come across that actually shows dash cam footage, peculiar music for review tho
I could've done without the music, why do content creators fill their videos with noise?
No point trying to show 1440p quality, when your whole video is only available in 1080p - weird
Great review, looks like you need a polorising lens to get rid of the glare though?
Yeah or the screen needs a proper clean. Mine doesn't glare that badly.
Brilliant review, addresses all the right stuff. Thanks!
I've purchased 322g with rear view camera. But the rear view camera doesn't show in the screen like your camera what maybe going wrong please help
It's niiiice🤙🏽🤙🏽all the best 👍🏽👍🏽
I got myself one today. Thanks for the review.
So the rear camera is attached to the main camera and not mounted in rear window?
Yes, this is the add on rear view cam. There is also a sepparate rear view cam you can buy that is a ball shape and sticks to the back window with a sepparate cable running from it.
If you find the rear view mirror obstructs the cab cam, can you fit a shorts HDMI cable the change the location of the cab cam?

mate, u sound like Bear Grylls but yeah awesome video
Lol 🤣 that's a compliment

Freaked me out. I thought he was on wrong side of the road hahaha!
Lol
That footage was pretty bad, not one reg plate was readable at night :(
There are essentially no cameras that can read plates at night
Does the g sensor only worked when parked if the camera is hard wired in?
No, it works from the cameras built in battery also, mine works well this way. I have the 522 model though but the 422 should be the same.
How do you get the rear view plug in camera to display full image onto main screen?
Late comment, but still... You press with your finger on the smaller picture of the rear view, and the whole screen will show the rear view.
whaT ABOUT LIVE STREAM TO CLOUD!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE SO COPS CAN'T ARRANGE ACCIDENTS FOR EQUIPMENT...
How do you record both front and rear camera at the same time pls and also view it
Hi... Can be created routines to start and stop recording, change viewer, etc.? The skil allows to Alexa speaks spanish and english or only english? Thank you.
Hy . How long did the batterie last after full charge over night?
How do I get the rear cam to play after it's been recorded? Only seems to work on front view
Hi WhatGear are you going to do a video about android 10 on the Xperia XZ2 and Xperia XZ3?
Apart from the sos is there charge for using the Alexa voice commands or is the charge only for the sos feature.
Looking to purchase the Nextbase 422gw....and add the optional polarizing lens. Cannot find the specific specs on what type lens and Sony sensor are in this dash cam. Anybody to point me in the right direction? Nextbase website only mentions that they work closely with Sony and did not find any specific reference in the manual I looked at on- line.
NextBase 522GW • Ambarella chipset • Sony Starvis sensor • Angle of view: 140° diagonal
Is the rear camera inferior red capture in dark cabin
This was filmed in the future? It's only February 2020
UK use DD/MM/YY :)
Is there a way to record cabin with rear camera? My rear view is like 2 inches of view so not worth it but, a cabin view would be fun.
There's a cabin view camera you can buy.
Love it. All my dash cam clips are filmed with Nextbase 322gw take a look
I have the nextbase 412gw, with this rear cam compatible with it
What is the difference between 422 and 322?
Can you put a link in for the Nextbase editing software.
G sensor means a hardwired power not 12v output.
Hi
What's the difference between the 522 and 422 please ????
not much different from my research , it just the 522 has a Polarising filter and led screen a little bigger.
it is good that it has a screen to view video footage. Cannot stand those bullshit viewing from smartphones. Too many dependencies.
Hi can u fix it in my dash cam pls.?

Appreciate the effort, but the footage looks terrible imo 😕
Would have been a good video if it was not for the bloody loud annoying music, why do people think music has to be playing all the time. even when they are talking, had enough after about a minute.

Annoying music
