Nextbase 622GW dash cam

A dash cam, often known as a dashboard camera, is a gadget that has a camera fixed on the
car’s dashboard. A dash cam's primary function is to serve as a "silent witness" in the event
of accidents. It is made to document every event meticulously and precisely on the road.
Drivers must research the various dashcams available, from front-facing to dual-facing
models, and choose the one that best suits their needs.

The amazing safety features of the Nextbase 622GW include Emergency SOS, which, in the
event of an accident, will notify the emergency services of the user’s position. With the
622GW, Nextbase departs from the simple-minded approach of other dash cam producers.
When a collision is detected, it has the capacity to silently record a view of the road ahead
and preserve film.

Design of Nextbase 622GW dash cam:

The 622GW shares a similar appearance with other dash cams from Nextbase. It is a tiny
device with a front-facing lens that protrudes and a vast three inches touchscreens on the
back. Only the power button on the left side of the device and a button for manually saving
film are included on the physical buttons. When a collision is detected, the dash cam will
automatically record, but if the driver witnesses an event and wants to record it, they can
utilize the button.

A MicroSD card slot may be found below the power button. However, no card is provided in
the box. Users will need an equally 256GB memory card because 4K video files are huge;
otherwise, it will quickly fill up and begin to replace earlier material.

The 622GW's screen is sharp and clear. Although responsive, its touchscreen capabilities
aren't as fluid as those of a smartphone. They are moving through each option while
stationary is simple.

Score: B

Features of Nextbase 622GW dash cam:

Safety:

There are many pretty cool specifications and security features on the Nextbase 622GW.
Setting up EmergencySOS is one of the most excellent features. This enables the gadget to
immediately notify emergency services if a driver is engaged in a collision, even if the driver
is not conscious. Additionally, sharing a driver's blood type and medical history is possible.
Camera:

The default recording speed is 30 frames per second, but if the user drops to 1080p
resolution, they have the option of 60 or even 120 frames per second for ultra-slow-motion
recording. The rear camera is less spectacular and limited to 1080p and 30 frames per second.
Although it is notably darker and less sharp than the image from the central unit, the smaller
interior unit is still excellent enough to rely on in emergencies. It is beneficial for taxi and
minicab drivers.

 Image Resolution

The 622GW's 4K sensor and f1.3 lens produce great images. Thanks to high-quality parts and
clever processing algorithms, the footage is clearly defined in almost any situation. As with
any dash cam, nighttime images deteriorate, but the 622GW's improved night mode helps
make the most of dim lighting.

 Recording

The sensor in the 622GW features an enhanced night mode that, as promised, makes it
simpler to read details while driving at night.

Alexa Accessible:

Users can speak to the Amazon speech assistant Alexa using software like "Alexa, ask my
dash cam to start recording" or "Alexa, ask my dash cam to disable audio recording."

Storage and Memory:

The buyer will need to supply their own memory card since Nextbase does not include one in
the box. The camera requires a minimum of 8GB and accepts cards up to 256GB.

Score: B

Customer review:

The majority of customers appreciate the parking mode and the SOS functions. Although
expensive, they claimed that this device performs really well. The consumer can easily
distinguish the roads at night because the night mode also functions well. The average rating
for this next base 622Gw on Amazon is 3.7 out of 5. (362 reviews).

Final verdict

The video footage is crisp and offers information like the date and location, and all. The
camera itself is small and doesn't obstruct much windshield space. Additionally, it is
appreciated that it provides location tracking for emergencies.

One of the worst aspects of this camera is that, although using the newest 4K technology, it
charges using a tiny USB port that is blatantly outdated. The mounting method was simple to
set up and use, secure, and durable; it was still simple to take the camera out when necessary.
Although it is pretty pricey, it is understood that not every driver will want to fork over the
$249 Nextbase is asking for the 622GW. As a result, the Nextbase 622GW dash cam will
receive a rating of 4 out of 5.
