While we simply mounted the 522GW in the lower center section of the windshield of our test vehicle, a 2021 Hyundai Venue, Nextbase recommends placing it at the top of the windshield, near the rearview mirror. The company also advises running the 13-foot power cord behind interior panels to hide and protect it, and provides a small tool to help with this. Features and Video Quality The new Nextbase range takes microSD cards up to 64GB - we're currently using 32GB microSD cards in ours. As for the batteries, they've been upgraded along with the rest of the dash cam hardware. They range now uses Lithium Polymer batteries (3.7V/320mAh) and intelligent battery charging with thermal cut out in the circuity – this ensures the batteries now charge at the correct rate depending on their temperature and dramatically prolongs their life. Should I buy one? Impressively, Parking Mode is available on all the Series 2 Nextbase dash cams (122-522GW). If you're wondering where the 622GW is in the new range, it doesn't yet exist - so there's no 4K Series 2 dash cam. Not yet anyway, but we've heard that it's on the cards... Gone is the big clunky mount of the 512GW. Replacing it is a mount that connects straight into the body of the camera using a magnetic attachment. It's very smart. The charging cable also plugs directly into the camera or the mount - there's the option for both. Discover the range of Motormax reversing cameras.

The Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam offers stunning 1440p HD resolution for crystal clear video recordings. The 522GW is fitted with an inbuilt polarising filter to dramatically reduce windscreen glare and reflection to produce enhanced recordings. It uses a vastly upgraded 3" HD IPS touch screen for easy menu selection and a host of new and exciting features. In most cases, enabling parking mode will be sensible, too. This is best used with a hard-wired power connection, for which you can buy an optional kit, but I found that the camera’s small battery was enough to power it while our frequently used car was left idle.

Exposure is handled well to ensure good detail across both shadows and highlights, while the integrated polarising lens helps reduce windscreen glare on sunny days. The lens rotates so you can adjust how effective it is.Considering most people use dash cameras to protect themselves against false insurance claims or in the event of an accident, Nextbase has also renewed it's partnership with SureThing!, offering those who buy a Series 2 dash cam 25% off a policy with the insurer - which is an increase on the previous 20% discount.
