The dash cam is prone to locking up for no apparent reason even though the specified Nextbase memory card is used. Furthermore, some of the footage taken on the dash cam doesn’t play back smoothly but runs at an accelerated speed. The unit looks to be well made but I suspect that the firmware is in need of a severe revision ( I’m currently running revision 30.7) The incorporation of Alexa within the dash cam provides very limited use being that you have to have your smartphone connected via bluetooth and the phone already has Alexa installed anyway. The Nextbase Connect software that has to be downloaded from the App Store isn't capable of displaying the gps data from the dash cam on the my mac's monitor.( Here again a software update might be needed). All in all I’ve very disappointed considering the high cost of the device and the markets apparent high ratings for this product.

Great bit of kit. Installing the dashcam to the power supply was a doddle..

Much easier than I expected no routing round for fuses etc. only real issue is firebox/odb cover doesn’t sit flush anymore due to wire being to thick to properly bend into the enclisure

It actually works unlike the hardwire kits. I like the always on functionality and doesn’t drain the battery

I’ve hard wired my last cam but this connection is easier and makes the fit more professional allowing the parking feature available.
