Customise your dash cam for all round protection with Nextbase's add-on cameras (sold separately). Simply plug in an add-on camera to record the road behind as well as the road ahead.

As the GW in its name indicates, this camera comes with GPS and Wi-Fi. At 10Hz, the GPS antenna is twice as fast as usual, resulting in much more accurate location and speed stamps than the usual 5-times-per-second refresh rate. A 3″ touch screen allows for easy setup and operation, even if you don’t have a smart phone or don’t want to connect it to the camera for whatever reason.
