But you haven't done as they've asked.

Mine (not Nextbase) began freezing or not recording on power up. It
would begin recording if I reformatted the card, but it would again
freeze once the card filled up. It was supposed to write over the older
recording. A full reboot back to basics sorted the camera.

My nextbase duo crashes at 2 minutes and 14 seconds randomly so renders it useless and unfit for purpose. Contacted support after using various cards and he assured me this wasn't a common fault and to return for refund!

Memory fault, I'd imagine.

I bought an expensive Nextbase duo. It's worse than useless and is less reliable than the £50 Chinese no name dashcam. I can be driving along and all of a sudden it freezes. I've tried different SD cards to no avail. The solution is to unplug it, wait for the battery to drain, then plug it in again. It's a common nextbase fault according to google searches. Shame it's not more widely spoken about so that people can avoid wasting their money on Nextbase dashcams.

None of the buttons worked. Chatted with online chat and performed all of
the actions recommended. No change. Told I should send it back for repair.
Cost dependent on what was needed but they could supply a reconditioned one
for £85 with a three month guarantee. 1. two years for a £200 piece of kit
is not good value in fact not of adequate quality. 2. Why would a risk £85 on
a reconditioned Nextbase that has proved so short lived? 3. Ebay is flooded
with reconditioned Nextbase Duo HD. They were only launched 2 years ago. Why
have so many needed repairing??? Outcome: Looked for a new dashcam - *anything
but Nextbase*. Bought a Z-Edge for (front and back cameras) that so far is
excellent.
