[@paulwalker9732]

The camera that mounts to the main camera is a cabin camera, for recording all that happens in the cabin, it is not a rear view camera for catching what happens outside behind the vehicle, they are three cameras for three different jobs and view points.

Yes

You are not correct. They offer two inside cameras, inside the cabin and a telephoto one.

Thanks! Clean installation. This will help me get it installed in my Silverado. I do think I'll get the Cabin View dash cam instead of the Rear View. The view from that is pretty narrow. Seeing this helped me decide.

Great video, after watching I started to run the power from the camera end, like you tucking the led box in a convenient space then I was able to cut off all the excess once I reached the supply point rather than stuff excess cable behind the dash. If I hadn't watched this I would have done the same as you and started where picking the power up. Also helped my choose which rear view go go for.

[@ic5838]

Awesome! great instructional video and comparison. Thank you

[@Donslife]

Glad it was helpful!

[@treecatt]

I just purchased the 622GW with the rear window mount camera. I intend to install the rear window mount camera on my sliding rear window by routing the cable to the camera from the side the window slides to. I plan to have the cable outside the liner enough so that I can open the sliding windows and have the cable droop. When I close the window it should pull tight. I mainly open the sliding window to blow the hot air out when I first use my F250. Pretty much stays closed otherwise.

[@Donslife]

Could work. I was thinking the movement of the cable from the glass could cause the camera to swivel in the magnetic cradle.

[@matrixate]

Good review, but how does the rear camera get power? Are there contact points on the base that the ball magnetically attaches on? No one seems to explain that. I like that you showed how the front camera gets power. You're the only person that actually explains it.

[@Donslife]

Thanks, the rear camera gets power over the single USB cable. The rear camera connects to its mount magnetically.

[@georgesrisomsak9650]

Nice install! Poke and wrap over wire tap for me though. Those can be hit or miss, and when they hit, it still cuts the strands of the wire your tapping. I dislike that greatly. Anyway, I have 300ah of battery on board, so I'll wire to a constant source for 24/7 monitoring. Your review video helped make my decision on the 622gw, thank you for that video, and images. That's what sold me. Don't need a camera if you can't read the plates. Time to have a witness for the inevitable it seems. Roads are crazy out there these days.

[@Donslife]

Glad it helped you out

[@fitz235]

Hey Don, your video was very detailed and answers my question whether both rear camera can be installed at the same time. Thank you buddy and love the metal gear solid reference.. God bless mate.

[@Donslife]

Glad you liked it

[@fitz235]

I'm actually considering the 522gw since it's only $250. I think 1440p front should be sufficient although it reduces the rear resolution to 720p. What do you think? Should I get the 622gw instead? It's for a 2017 lexus rx350. Also, have you tried using a non Nextbase SD card? Their website warns of recording errors if we don't use their brand cards. Thanks again.

[@Donslife]

Glad I could help

[@GordonStevens72]

Nice comparison video. Question for you - is there a way in which we can tap into the third brake light camera used for LCD rearview mirror of the GMC’s with technology package? It would likely be less obstructed and reduce the number of accessories attached to the inside of the window. Maybe one of the aftermarket dash-cam companies can look into a kit that allows us to tie into and use the existing cameras and simply record these signals for our record.

[@Donslife]

It crossed my mind however there would probably need to be a inline conversion module to adapt the signal and adjust the resolution/aspect. I find it highly unlikely that an aftermarket company would make it in the near future. Be really cool though and I am okay with being wrong on this assumption

[@JebClarke902]

I have been thinking the exact same thing.

[@widearchshark3981]

Once I get the "Metal Gear Solid" alert sound at the start, this guy gets the thumbs up. I don't even care about the rest of the video anymore! In seriousness, would have been nice to know how "goofy" it looked in the corner. I'm just curious how obtrusive that camera is in your rear view mirror. So that would have been useful. But thanks. Good to watch.

[@Donslife]

😊 the mirror screen is a nice add on and not obtrusive at all. I find I use it in very specific situations, usually hauling cargo or towing to check on things. Otherwise when not on, it looks like a standard mirror, which is 95% of the time

[@dfwnorthwest]

What about mounting that 3rd camera to the bumper near the license plate? I have a late model Silverado and just bought a dual dashcam setup. Didnt think about putting on the glass at the rear of the cabin. Thats much simpler than having to run the wire through the floorboard. The downside is limited view below the tailgate, eg. when someone is pulled up right on your bumper at a stop light or is tailgating you on the highway. Actually, after re-watching the last part of this video again, I think putting my rear camera INSIDE the cab, just as you have done will work just fine, with the added benefit of everything being inside the cab.

[@Donslife]

I am with you. Personal experience only - For my climate I found external cameras like the ones for dash cams aren’t reliable in -40°C/-40°F conditions.

[@kevinwilson7104]

Great video (as always)... 2 questions please. 1) Did you run the rear camera wire along the driver's side headliner or through the middle? If the latter, how? 2.) What kind/size of wire taps are needed? Thanks again for the detailed video!

[@Donslife]

Hi! I ran the wire along the driver’s side headliner. Here is the Amazon description: Gebildet 4pcs 12V 24V Add-a-Circuit Micro 2 Fuse Tap, Piggy Back Blade Fuse Holder with Wire Harness, 6 pcs Micro 2 Fuse (5A 10A 15A) and Fuse Puller

[@kevinwilson7104]

@@Donslife Perfect. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next video!

[@tristencochran3374]

I could of sworn the fuses on the passenger side panel are the 2 prong( i could be wrong ) and there is a fuse for the cigarette lighter adapter and you can leave it like it is and be powered 24/7 or you can move it over a notch and it only work when the truck is on

[@chquair75]

Big thanks man for explaining how it's supposed to work for the three of them, appreciate your time, one question if you don't mind,is it doing good in low light recording?

[@Donslife]

No problem. I would say it does well in street-lit and headlight-illuminated conditions.

[@Gino20202]

That screen is huge to have on your windshield in your field of vision. It’s the size of a pocket camera from the early 2000’s. There are others with just as good of resolution with a much, MUCH smaller screen. Does that get in your way or bother you at all?

[@Donslife]

You might be surprised, the placement is not restricting at all. The problem with producing a video is your seeing the camera’s perspective and not necessarily the driver’s. I am very picky and put a tremendous amount of thought on where I wanted it. Where it is works in my opinion. It is only 3” diagonal. The video probably does make it look like a Canon A60 point & shoot 😂. Thanks for watching

[@user-nd5jc8xv8v]

[@Donslife]

[@bishopgeorge1333]

So I have a question, why come you didn't get an add-a-tap fuse to tap into that side fuse panel, I have a 2023 Chevy Duramax 3500 and I'm trying to install a dash cam, are their any hot fuse on the side fuse panel?

I watched a pro shop guy do one and he starts at the camera then runs it downward, that way all the extra wire is hid near your power source.

Is there a reason you didn't tap into the fuse box? Did your cigarette lighter still work after you tapped into it?

Good question, but I think it could be problematic running the signal wire that far. Plus you’d need to splice in an extension. For my 30ft trailer I would look at a wireless transmission option to a separate screen. Or add trailer cam option to my truck (which it has a provision for)

32 for that camera is fine. It saves the files you need based on a button push or if it senses a harsh movement and puts them into a folder until you move or delete them. All of the other files with no action get overwritten automatically unless you download them. A 32 GB card will last quite awhile (days) with that cam. Unless you drive for 4+ hrs straight every day.

@@Donslife yea it is tinted, might be the problem. Because everyone in my family got one and it seems I’m on the only one with this problem. Thanks for the help doe

[@krzysztof4068]

Thank you.

[@Donslife]

You're welcome!

[@punktexas]

Is the camera over heating / screen freezing? There are a lot of bad reviews on Amazon.

[@ryandodd6979]

Does anyone know the best camera for front/rear/and interior that also has motion/impact features to help for survaillance during parked condition? Also, is there a camera that will notify you by phone when it's detected tampering of vehicle? What happens to video if the camera is stolen?

[@ivancoelho7414]

Can you tell me what suction mount was used in your application?

[@Donslife]

I found mine at BestBuy in Canada. Here is a link for Amazon Canada. Not sure where you live. www.amazon.ca/Nextbase-Click-Mount-322GW-422GW/dp/B07QDMLMJH/ref=asc_df_B07QDMLMJH/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459552223627&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16570266086512346490&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001274&hvtargid=pla-779477985026&psc=1

The wire will "...go through the head liner, which is not that interesting so I'll do it off camera..." Learning how to route through the head liner is becoming the most difficult part if my installation. The part you didn't record is the segment of most value. :(

[@Donslife]

Just peel back the weatherstripping, tuck in the wire and press the weatherstripping back on.

[@ltemike]

@@Donslife that makes sense on the doors (the black rubber part) but how do you do that on the ceiling panels? The rubber weather stripping does not exist for the full span from my dashboard to the rear window of a long body Toyota Highlander.

[@Donslife]

I don’t have a Toyota Hylander but if it is anything like the last two generations of Cadillac Escalades, you can feed the wire though and tuck it up the edge with your fingers. I am sorry but I only had the one vehicle to demonstrate the camera

[@ltemike]

@@Donslife I'm trying to figure out how to do that across a 30 inch blind span between the rear hatch and the 2nd row doors. It's not looking very promising, sadly.

[@Donslife]

Undo the weatherstripping around the rear wind hatch and the headliner should be a little more accessible

[@michael_roth]

Having a tough time fishing the wire through to the glove box, I’ve even tried removing the glove box completely and I just don’t see how it’s going through.. any tips?

[@Donslife]

I’m trying to remember how tight the cavity is behind the glove box. Maybe use a stiff wire with the wire you’re running taped to it and chase it though?

[@ZAK19857]

Hi what is more better in your opinion? As I have the rear camera that attaches to the rear windshield. I’ve tried the cabin view camera but it’s not good if you have passengers in the back.

[@Donslife]

I like the rear window one better. If I was an uber driver or taxi, than the inside might be more appealing

[@threadoflife]

My rear camera isn’t displaying when I plug it in like you any ideas? Same rear camera nextbase small round one? No power or display on the front cam screen but the front cam is definitely working? What’s going on these are brand new shouldn’t be any issues?

[@Donslife]

I have had 3 but have never had power up issues. I would contact nextbase support

[@moesboy48]

Damm I wanted to see how you went threw the headliner,did you even make a video for that.

[@Donslife]

Just pull back the rubber weatherstripping around the tops of the doors and tuck in the wires about 1/2”. Then press the weatherstripping back on. Sorry I made the video more generic and intended it not to be AT4 specific. You can email me or message me on Instagram if you want some pictures of where my wires go in the headliner. There is a Thinkware Q800 with rear camera I installed on our 2022 Escalade. The video is in the Cadillac Escalade playlist Thinkware Q800 Pro Installation and Review. Good Value and Full of Useful Features! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gauol4B_YtuNq68

[@MrJbs215]

Where did you find the wire taps? Got a link?

[@Donslife]

I am in Canada. I am sure you can find the same in the US : Gebildet 4pcs 12V 24V... www.amazon.ca/dp/B07ZV35C72?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@robross7991]

For the main unit, could you have used the adhesive mount and stuck this on the dash instead of the windshield?

[@Donslife]

You can stick it to any area you want as long as the surface is smooth enough, clean and you can get the right position for the camera's view.

[@PENNYATCAMPCOLLINS]

Why would you do that. They say the unit should not exceed 120°F. If you mount it on the Dash it will cook in the sun. I guess he should’ve mentioned it but I don’t see the practical use in doing that.

[@swapneelghaywat8494]

Can specify the wiretap details like any specific brand or type, it will be very helpful. Also let me know if it is available online. Thanks in advance

[@Donslife]

Here are the ones I ordered in Canada (Amazon.ca). Pretty sure they are the same on Amazon.com too: amzn.to/3mAyVED

[@chrisloesch1870]

Just an fyi if you tap into the fuses on the right side panel in the Sierra you don't need to tap the wires. The fuses on that side are two prong, not three. the ones on the left side are three.

[@HayDriver]

Il est possible de branché les 3 caméras en même temps svp ???

[@Donslife]

Two cameras only

[@zway7144]

Works with limo tint 3% on the back camara?

[@Donslife]

It would be darker. Probably too dark at night

[@Ricflairnatureboy]

My 622 Camera losses the availability to record in 4k when i attach the module

[@Donslife]

Correct. They all do because it is processing two signals simultaneously

[@jdrecords]

If I upgrade from a Nextbase 412GW are the 622GW connectors the same for the wiring?

[@Donslife]

Yes 👍🏼

[@MorriSpecial]

Can you run all three cameras at the same time

[@Donslife]

Just two (total) with the cameras shared in this video

[@fahoooooooooooooood1]

Where can i find OEM wrap color for my 2015 Escalade pearl white? I wanna hide the bumper scratches without repainting it … thanks 👍

[@Donslife]

Lots of wrap manufacturers will sell samples for cheap for you to compare to your paint. I don’t know of anyone that makes OEM paint matched Vinyl. Some brands to maybe look at are Avery, Vvivid, Hexis, 3M

[@mitchellcole832]

Couple questions. Is the app decent? Also do you think the camera quality would still be good on limo tint in the rear?

[@Donslife]

Hi Mitchell. The app is okay, not amazing or anything. Honestly I tend to pop the card out and download right the footage I may want that way. Might be okay during daylight for the rear tint bit suffer a little at night. My factory rear tint seems okay at night but there are some street lights too around me driveway

[@mitchellcole832]

@@Donslife Thank you!

[@kyushka.]

I have a gmc at4 without the front camera package is there anyway I can use that rear camera and put it onto the grill to see the front of the truck?

[@Donslife]

Unfortunately I don’t think so only because the auxiliary camera probably isn’t designed for use outside of the cabin.

[@kyushka.]

@@Donslife any solutions yo think i can do to set up a front facing camera into the gmc dashboard screen?

[@Donslife]

Sorry for the late reply. There might me an aftermarket solution that lets you connect to one of the camera inputs on the factory screen, but I am not aware of a compony doing this for the newer ones. 2013-2018 there is more of a market for that. You may have to wait unfortunately.

[@tonyl1984]

I assume that the original mini usb connection to the dash cam itself/gps magnetic mount is now obsolete if you using the rear mounted 3m sticky version as it looks like a different connector like some sort of mini hdmi port or something

[@Donslife]

Not sure I understand the comment fully. The mini usb is built into the mount for the front camera. The front camera connects to the mount magnetically. The side of the camera has a mini HDMI that runs power to any of the compatible auxiliary cameras and receives their signal in return. The camera records both feeds simultaneously and saves 2 files to the card in 1-3minute increments.

[@tonyl1984]

@@Donslife so I mean you still have to use the mini usb hardwired lead that would plug into the side of the magnetic gps module & then the rear camera 6.5 meter mini hdmi lead that plugs into the side of the dash cam itself
