I just purchased this on black friday, along with a 10% code they gave. I got the 4k with the aditonal rear camera for $755CAD (after tax)! A stellar price considering the regular price for the 4k one alone is over $1,000!!!!

Yet another thing with a subscription attached! Think I’ll stick to the base models thanks!

Does the parking recording still works if I do not pay for the subscription? like a normal dashcam?

@LensOfJames Ай бұрын

Yes it will still record, you just don't have access to all the features. More info can be found here: nextbase.co.uk/smart-dash-cams/iq-smart-dash-cam/

Good review, finally got my replacement after fighting with customer service on amazon AND direct, both told me to contact one other lol. Mine stopped working only after 3 months, did some researching and could find 3 others that had that happen too, only who I know about and found online, so who knows how reliable this actually is, def dont look forward to testing it in the heat after it randomly died in the spring (yes, it took me 2 months of back and forth to get a warranty replacement). If it wasnt so expensive, I would have just taken the L, but its 4 months worth of filling my car up with gas, so you know I at least wanted a 2nd try with this but i honestly was ready to buy a cheaper one, but from a better known brand lol

@mobileradiofitter Ай бұрын

I've fitted some of these now and I must be honest the front camera is huge, it's clever with all its features but are they all needed ? Personally the Garmin mini 3 is my favourite being really small, very reliable and a supporting app..

@tri33er 5 ай бұрын

I've had the 4k version from release in November as well as the rear camera when it was released. It has come along way since and as of today Guardian Mode was released in the last update.. I can't wait for roadwatch ai.. it is expensive and the top subscription is also but it is worth it in my opinion.. I am always remote checking in on the car when left in car parks.. it took a while too get my settings right but now it's 👌 would I recommend it.. definitely..

Would you recommend this product or wait till more releases come to get rid of the bugs? I was also concerned the actual dash cam would be a target to break into your car and steal it?

@LensOfJames 6 ай бұрын

Hi, yes I'm really happy with mine. The latest firmware update has cleared up the last of the issues for me and it works perfectly now. That's an interesting point, I don't live in a high crime area but I suppose if someone wants to steal something they will - at least you'll catch them on camera!

Cars been left at a garage and want to turn off camera while in the garag3 or at least inside the car but can I find how to do that via app ... no !! App.should have a simple on off button or a valet mode ? Does it have this ?

@LensOfJames 4 ай бұрын

I'm not sure about being able to turn it off remotely, but you can unplug it from the vehicle as it doesn't have a battery. If it is left on, it's a good way to see if they're doing the work 😉

Hello, I have the 522GW and I’m thinking of getting the IQ now, my only issue is with the 522gw I have a stop start car so camera keeps restarting whenever the engine goes into eco mode and restarts, I’ve tried asking re constant power and was told wasn’t possible and stop/start shouldn’t be an issue. Am I correct in assuming this is a constant power feed, as in video you said it switches off when engine is switched off ? Also in emergency situations I’ve found the 522gw only does 5 seconds before incident instead of the previous 30 seconds on earlier models? What’s the accident / save incident timeframe before and after incident ?

@LensOfJames 6 ай бұрын

Interesting questions, I'll have a look into them and get back to you in a few days.

@LensOfJames 6 ай бұрын

So I've had a look at my iQ and, whilst I don't have a stop/start vehicle, what I've noticed is that if I was to stop for a while (i.e. minutes) with the engine on it goes into parking mode, which I assume it would with a start/stop car, however when I drive off the dash cam starts recording again. It's not like traditional dash cams where it's either on or off - it will detect things going on around you even if it says it's in parking mode. You'd have to ask Nextbase about the timeframe for accidents, I've looked through the manual but can't see the information. Hope that's helps

@sultananwar9223 5 ай бұрын

Obviously vehicle dependent, but if your car has a switched fuse for your cigarette lighter, wire it into that as your cigarette lighter doesn’t turn off when your car stops due to stop start

Why on earth do we need to install yet another OBD cable why can we not use the cable from the 622gw camera. The cable and plug for this is MASSIVE!

@LensOfJames 6 ай бұрын

I don't know why they've done this, one to ask Nextbase about! My 622GW used a USB or 12v port so it's nice to have OBD option to free up a port, and you really don't see the cable or plug when it's in use as the majority of it is hidden.

It’s too big for my windshield. The rear cam is questionable at most times. Subscrtion is stupid, but you’re basically paying for 4g service and is nice to have. If it wasn’t so big, I’d keep it, but it’s on eBay

@LensOfJames 6 ай бұрын

That's fair enough, it is a bit bigger than other dash cams. I've heard that they've fixed the rear cam issues in the latest firmware update - mine didn't always connect but is working perfectly now.

@andicampbell8621 4 ай бұрын

If I were driving through a scenic area and I ask it to start recording. Does it record continuously until the card fills up or I tell it to stop? I have a road angel but the recordings are in a measly 3 minute segments. I need another unit that can record longer segments.

@LensOfJames 4 ай бұрын

No, it films in 30 second segments so that when the memory card is full it can start overwriting the oldest footage. Recording in short segments is standard practise for all the dash cams I've come across. You might be best mounting a GoPro/camera/phone to your windscreen - the video will be better quality too, as dash cams compress footage to get smaller file sizes.

£449 for 4k and £149 for rear cam, so £598 for the cam. Know this is optional, but £70 or £100 per year subscription. So if you keep it for 4 years, and want all the bells and whistles, it's £1000 for a dash cam !!!!

Yeah it's a lot of money, but it is a top-level dash cam and there are plenty of others like the Nextbase 622GW which don't break the bank but still have great quality and features :)
