A dash cam is a really simple and easy way to keep a record of what happens on the road. From everyday journeys to unexpected incidents, having clear footage can give you extra reassurance and useful evidence if you’re ever in the position that you need it.
Nextbase dash cams come with a range of features to suit different drivers, including:
- High-quality video
- GPS tracking
- Parking Mode
- Emergency SOS
- Smartphone connectivity
What are the benefits of a dash cam?
You never know when you might need to prove what happened on the road. A dash cam records your journeys, giving you an independent record of an incident if something goes wrong.
A dash cam can be useful for:
- Recording accidents and incidents on the road
- Providing footage for an insurance claim
- Capturing details such as number plates
- Monitoring your car while it’s parked
- Giving you extra peace of mind when you’re driving
What are the main features of a Nextbase dash cam?
There are a few things worth considering when choosing a dash cam. The right one will depend on how you drive and the features you want.
Video Quality
Good-quality footage is one of the most important things to look for. A higher-resolution dash cam can capture clearer images, making it easier to see details such as number plates, road signs and other vehicles. Some models also offer features such as enhanced night vision and improved image sensors to help capture clearer footage in darker conditions, which is great if you’re commuting in the winter.
Parking Mode
Parking Mode can help protect your car when you’re away from it. Compatible Nextbase dash cams can monitor your vehicle while it’s parked and use a G-Force sensor to detect an impact or movement. If your car is bumped, the dash cam can automatically start recording what happened.
GPS Tracking
GPS tracking records useful journey information, such as your vehicle’s location, speed and route, alongside your dash cam footage. This means you can see not only what happened on the road, but also where you were and how fast you were travelling at the time.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
Some Nextbase dash cams have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, making it easier to transfer footage to your phone or other compatible devices so you can easily rewatch it and share it.
What else can a Nextbase dash cam do?
Dash cams have come a long way from simply recording the road ahead. Depending on the model, you can get a range of features designed to make driving a little easier and give you extra reassurance.
Amazon Alexa
Selected Nextbase dash cams include Amazon Alexa, giving you access to voice controls while you’re driving.
Depending on the model, you can use Alexa to:
- Play music
- Check the weather
- Control compatible smart home devices
- Start and stop recordings
- Protect footage
- Take pictures
- Send recordings to your phone
It means you can use compatible dash cam features without taking your hands off the wheel, helping you to drive safer and smarter.
Emergency SOS
Selected Nextbase models include Emergency SOS. If you’re involved in a serious incident and can’t respond, the system can alert the emergency services and provide information about your location and other relevant details. This can be particularly useful if an incident happens somewhere quiet or away from other road users.
What3words
The Nextbase 622GW also includes what3words technology. It can pinpoint your location using a three-word address, helping you share your location with the emergency services if needed.
Are Nextbase dash cams easy to fit?
Nextbase dash cams are designed to be straightforward to set up. Many models use a Click & Go PRO™ magnetic mount, making it easy to attach and remove the dash cam. The power cable connects to your car’s 12V socket.
If you’d rather leave the fitting to someone else, Halfords can install your dash cam for you with our fitting service. That means you can leave the installation to us and get on with your day.
