How Do I Download !NEW! Footage From My Nextbase Dash Cam
Derrik Thunderbird
Most micro SD cards come with an adaptor, which you can slot into a PC or laptop and transfer a copy of the files on the card across for safekeeping. You can also send footage directly from your dash cam to your phone or tablet using the Nextbase Cam Viewer app. Once you have downloaded your files, you then have a permanent copy of the footage stored securely on your PC, phone or tablet. However, there are also additional video file backup options available if you want to add another layer of protection.
As for video footage itself, the Nextbase 522GW does a pretty good job, and is one of the better dash cams we have used in recent years. Exposure is handled well to ensure good detail across both shadows and highlights, while the integrated polarising lens helps reduce windscreen glare on sunny days. The lens rotates so you can adjust how effective it is.
Before putting the dashcam in your car, it is recommended to charge it first. I left it on charge for a good few hours before setting it up in the car. My main issue was, having it running when I needed to use my sat-nav too. Aside from the wires, would they both need to be plugged into the in-car charger to use simultaneously?
To view footage you have recorded on your phone, you need to download the app and connect them both when nearby. After a couple of goes, I managed to get them both to connect 9my phone was causing the dramas, not the dashcam!) so I could view any saved videos.
Just like other Nextbase dash cams, the 222 has a magnetic mounting system. It works by removing a cover from the front of the camera, then attaching the device to its included suction windshield mount using a strong magnet. The 222 comes with the option to use a suction mount that is quick and easy to remove or a more permanent mount that uses 3M adhesive. Since I was using a car I only have temporarily, I opted for just the suction mount.
Exposure can be adjusted from -6 to +6, but I left it at the default of zero as the camera works fine when driving during both day and night. You can also switch audio recording on and off and adjust the length of video files the camera creates to one, two, or three-minute loops, recorded onto an optional SD card. You can also choose to add a time and date stamp to your footage (no location, as the camera does not have GPS), and adjust the sensitivity of the G sensor.
Nextbase 101 HD in-car dash camera is a decent product with a reasonable and quite expected average quality ofvideo in less than ideal conditions, and a relatively good footage when it's bright and clear. It's small androbust, but the time & date functionality seems a bit wonky, plus handling the recorded videos can be apain, depending on your operating system of choice. Not quite the trivial FAT32 whatever you need.
Ever since I bought My Jeep in December of 2020, I was looking for a dashcam everywhere. Right from the Jeep showroom/ service centre (they had none at that time and only the meridian has an FHD model now at 36K price) to the after-market places like the JC road Bangalore (who were all only suggesting me to go for an HD or FHD option, most dint even have decent options to choose from). After reading many articles on the world wide web, speaking to multiple people, and countless hours of procrastinating, and driving with a sense of something missing in the car & fear, I have decided on going ahead with Nextbase 622 GW model dashcam with the plug-in rearview cam attachment.
Luckily a friend was travelling to Canada for a month and I sighted the opportunity to get one from Bestbuy Canada. They had offers ($100 off on cam, Free 32GB card, and a pouch) and I ended up getting everything I needed for Canadian $601.65 (Approx 34 thousand INR) including an extra click & go Pro GPS dashcam mount (This is to add in my Swift. I am the only driver for both cars and would be moving the cam to whichever hits the road on a given day)
