The Nextbase 522GW comes with a solidly designed mount that you can attach to the windscreen either with a suction cup or an adhesive. The camera itself affixes to the mount magnetically. Being the most sophisticated of the new Series 2 cameras, the 522GW comes with an interesting range of new features. We especially like the option to add various kinds of rear view modules, allowing you to turn the device into a dual or taxi cam, as needed. So depending on how high your premium is, this discount could potentially even cover the costs of the dash cam itself. Installation 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.

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. Connect the Rear View Camera or Rear Window Camera for an extra layer of protection against tailgaters and rear impacts, or connect the Cabin View Camera for a wide angle lens to record inside the vehicle.

There are two options to installing a dash cam, the easiest is the 12v cigarette lighter dash cam installation, but the neatest is using a hardwire kit. Curiously, the port for the car's 12-volt charger is on the mount and separate from the USB charge port. The 12-volt charger port is also buried in a cavity in the mount that makes the cord difficult to attach and detach, although once it’s in place you won't have to worry about moving it, unless you're moving the camera from one vehicle to another. In addition, a ferrite core (the bulbous part on many charge cords that make power transfer more efficient) near the mount adds to the visual bulk of the unit, although it can be removed. To protect your car from hit-and-runs or vandalism while parked, the 522GW supports a simple parking mode that will make it start recording for a short while if an incident is detected by the G-sensor (i.e., if someone bumps into your car).This requires connecting the 522GW to an Alexa account and to the MyNextbase Connect app for Android and iOS devices. The app also lets you control the camera's features, view stored images, record telemetry info such as g-force, and, when connected to the 522GW via Wi-Fi, view a live digital twin of what the dash cam sees.
