Nextbase Deals & Offers

Saw the Aldi dashcam down to £40 in my local store this morning (Rotherham Eastwood). Probably store specific.

Same price at John Lewis. https://www.johnlewis.com/nextbase-dash-cam-212-1080p-hd/p3360383

Oh I've just checked and I have the 312 model

Totally agree. Hence why I am looking to get a 'rear-view mirror' camera that films to the front and to the rear and is also a reversing camera. Trouble is that there is too much choice and my poor old brain can't find the right one. Recommendations welcomed (y)

Would thoroughly recommend a second camera. Since some guy bashed me up the rear, I've had one installed on the back window.

You can put the wire in the panel above window down side of door seal then under glove box and then into cigarette lighter, one i have i did this way and you only see a little wire at top.

Wouldn't get it installed by Halfords, whatever you do

It doesn’t have to be wired in.

You need the step down transformer or you'll blow the camera up.

Would have thought easy enough to cut the cigarette end off and either use a piggy back fuse into fuse box, or wire directly into cigarette lighter feed?

Same price on Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=electronics&field-keywords=nextbase+212

I've got this model, hardwired it with the official kit and works great. Small enough that it's not a distraction when driving, no GPS so don't have to worry about speed so much, got parking mode. I just leave it there and forget about it, part from every 3-4 weeks i reformat the sd card due to the parking mode locking in footage when i get in or out the car, but prefer that as got pranged by the trolley boy once in a supermarket car-park - so will catch the bugger if it happens again. Having no wifi isn't a biggy, the power cord plugs in to the holder not the cam, so easy to remove the whole cam rather than just the sd card, and video transfer will be quicker by usb lead anyhow. I only wanted mine to record any incident, not to record journeys anyhow so haven't needed to remove mine. For a small, simple, effective dashcam this works very well. Hardwiring is a must and a very quick n easy job and looks very tidy.

This version does not have WiFi, so you have to take the sd card or camera out to transfer off of it.

Having had a few years use of Nextbase cameras, I am in a good position to recommend these as an alternative..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01CXDP69G/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1526678694&sr=8-3π=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=yi+dash+cam&dpPl=1&dpID=41XeSU3M9NL&ref=plSrch

Good price (y)

Not even a 512g

You're conveniently forgetting that your statement was "and they are all chinese, with no uk support, and no doubt are not the easiest to use, or the clearest of images. for that price. Also, this has GPS, i bet those ones dont." You've offered absolutely nothing to back up your claims.

Oh ok, ill prove my point in the same way you disproved my point No UK support? Right. Not the easiest to use? Right Or the clearest of images? Right GPS? Not a Pointless add on. There you go. As it only takes you to say wrong to disprove a point, surely me stating right is as good as your point?

In the event of an accident, police and insurers have far more reliable methods of determining speed at time of an incident, and believe it or not, dash cam footage will give a pretty good record as to your route, speed and driving behaviour far more clearly than any GPS data. As to "You are clearly ill informed about everything you mentioned", you need to do some research. Or you could try and disprove what I've said rather than making a silly comment.

GPS is useful for measuring your speed and showing a route, both useful if you need evidence of an incident for the police/insurance, etc. You are clearly ill informed about everything you mentioned.

Try to buy it it’s £149.99

The 512GW supports microSD cards up to 128GB. Expired. They've put the price up to £149.99

So what do you recommend?

Sorry but Nextbase are overpriced garbage. batteries are not user replaceable and they will fail in about 12 months time. The picture quality is worse than a Yi dash cam that’s only £35. And worse of all they freeze regularly (if you power them for extended periods). It’s only by chance I glance at my 512G and notice it has frozen - not what you want when you need it the most!! they only support upto 32GB memory cards too (on the 512G anyway - not sure if the newer version has changed) seriously this costs way too much for what it is and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

If not interested in Quidco, Halfords and Amazon price matching

Good point. I missed that :(

Helps if they have stock, this went OOS about a week ago as I was looking.

Alternatively, NextBase 512G for a little less: https://www.maplin.co.uk/p/used-nextbase-512g-1080p-dash-cam-b25qw No wifi, and "used" (when I got mine it didn't look used at all, apart from a scruffy box), but seems like slightly better spec (if you don't need the wifi).

Great bit of kit. Good image quality at night too

Well its always recording. Also may add trackers must reduce ur insurance also as I have went from golf gtd to R and my insurance only went up £30

I've read somewhere that if you fail to show the video of an accident for whatever reason you have to pay them the discount you got as someone could just lie about having a dash cam to get the discount.

I have just bought a 412GW Refurbished 'A' for £78.80 including delivery (made an offer of £75 which was accepted) Ebay For installation I intend to use This method with slightly different connections :)

It’s incredibly easy to fit these yourself even with the hardwiring option ,it’s literally just a case of feeding the wire from the camera,inside the trim and down to your glove box then plug it in a spare fuse place. Literally 10-20 mins work and plenty of YouTube guides. Hardware kit is avail for under £10 on eBay so £85 and 20 mins of your time to do this yourself.....i dotted it in less time than it would of taken to drive to Halfords.

You can turn off the speed recording (it defaults to off anyway). If you buy Halfords' fitting service at £30, you get the hardwire kit included, so it makes the fitting £10. Seems quite simple to fit but for £10 someone else gets the scuffed knuckles :)

The 412 came back into stock again today at JL, so I bought it there and will take the Argos one I bought back. 2year warranty is better than Amazon and eBay.

You can get these nextbase cameras much cheaper on ebay brand new at the moment. Bought the bike one for £104

Or you could buy a much better camera from Amazon for almost half the price that will not die of a faulty inflated battery in 13 months time (or even sooner if we get a hot summer) The Viofo A119 or ddpai mini both have capacitors that will outlive any battery powered dash cam and they cost almost half the price of the Nextbase. Also check out the Blueskysea B1W that is currently sold out on Amazon but stock is apparently on it's way. All three mentioned cameras have excellent reviews on youtube.

Still for 50 notes cheaper the 212 works very well for my needs.

Seriously if you're going to buy a dashcam get a decent one or don't bother.

they are fine, class 10 and above you want, these are perfect for dash cams

Cheers ...I had a quick Google on those and it said not to use ??? So confusing just for a memory card to fit ..apparently need to be quite specific ones for dash cams a single continually being over written . https://www.carcamcentral.com/guide/recommended-sd-cards-avoid-sandisk-ultra-cards

Cheers , you've been a great help ..bought the YI (y) Any suggestions for the micro sd card ? I drive about 1hr most days ...only the occasional journey of 2-3 hours

You were lucky. I just read the terms for 10% off as an AA member via the app, it comes up with a bar code voucher for in store, so seems they won't price match Maplins and the voucher specifically excludes tech e.g. gps, dash cams etc.etc. loads of exclusions. Was interested in a 512gw fitted but not paying near on £180 with kit. The cam has been £119 in sales several times...probably next at Easter maybe. Bit doubtful anyway, its quite obtrusive but the mag mount for easy removal is quite a bonus.

Just been and collected a 512GW from Halfords. Thanks IggyP for the heads up! I used my AA Discount so got 10% off and then used Zeek vouchers for another 8% off. Total cost fitted £129.10

Back to £149 at Halfords now

Yes, but only online. http://www.halfords.com/technology/dash-cams/dash-cams/nextbase-dash-cam-512gw?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Dash+Cams-_-Dash+Cams-_-355800&istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istItemId=xrlrlmrimq&istBid=tztx&_$ja=tsid:94971|cid:868555879|agid:49387672212|tid:pla-331788094218|crid:203456299335|nw:g|rnd:11603789849911603313|dvc:t|adp:1o1|mt:|loc:9046604&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3tzQk-_f2QIVhbvtCh0rQAGkEAQYASABEgLb7vD_BwE

They price-matched this morning on the web. I popped into the Speke branch and the guy said, "no problem, just order it online now an I'll process it now." i ordered the 512GW, the fitting package with pouch and SD card, and another fitting for my second car. They even fitted one this afternoon. Fitting is £30 , but includes the £20 hardware kit http://www.halfords.com/technology/dash-cams/dash-cams/nextbase-dash-cam-512gw?cm_mmc=Google+PLA-_-Dash+Cams-_-Dash+Cams-_-355800&istCompanyId=b8708c57-7a02-4cf6-b2c0-dc36b54a327e&istItemId=xrlrlmrimq&istBid=tztx&_$ja=tsid:94971|cid:868555879|agid:49387672212|tid:pla-331788094218|crid:203456299335|nw:g|rnd:11603789849911603313|dvc:t|adp:1o1|mt:|loc:9046604&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI3tzQk-_f2QIVhbvtCh0rQAGkEAQYASABEgLb7vD_BwE

COLD due to price, not a deal at all, very popular camera but dont buy from these people now they will probably make it half price at the next sale (notorious for raising prices before discounting)

This might be cheaper than normal for this product but probably better waiting for the cam to appear in a sale then buy separately.

£101.89 for the Camera & Bag + Lens + Card

How is it cold when they still do the dash cam for £99 🤔 this is with the extras different item number altogether

I got the complete package for £50 due to deal with the insurance company. But good point!

They had this offer back in November together with it being out of stock. It never came back in stock

Was thinking the same. Only send in evidence to support whatever claim/ dispute- dont incrimate yourself doh! And even if in the wrong, and someone sees youve got a dash cam, refuse to give them it if they ask you. Common sense.

Great price, I have the 412GW which I got for £99 from Argos. Great dash cam. I have hardwired mine so it turns on with the ignition. I have seen some ridiculous insurance scam videos on YouTube. Dash cam is a blessing when you get into a situation like that. Later on, I will be planning to buy another which I will mount to the rear. Also, If you want to hard wire your cam, you can buy the kit from eBay for £11, took less than 45 mins to do it, this way, you don't have dangling wires. Heat.

If I was doing 34 in a 30 MPH area and involved in a crash, I wouldn't be sending my video to anyone.

That is an excellent camera and price, paid £120 in August, crying now ;( Just double checked, I have the 512GW :D

I’d just like an answer to my question. How can we educate without knowing why it was posted?

cold, cheaper on amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nextbase-Car-Camera-Hard-Wire/dp/B00XHYSQAC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516556985&sr=8-1&keywords=nextbase.+kit

Might have better mentioning that if you buy this kit with any nextbase dashcams they will fit it all for £10

Heard halfords also supply & fit them for £30 so worthwhile if not able to diy. Worth noting most cars need the piggyback fuse adapter rather than what's shown here, unless you know what your doing.

A good product however I have seen the same for £15 quid

Showed evidence of price in Sainsbury’s on my mobile and checked stock availability before going into Currys wham bam deal man

Hi how did you get Currys to price match for £85 for 412gw Thank

can take upto 128gig after last update

What size memory card would you need for this?

2x available 412GW in my local Sainsbury’s this morning for £85 got Currys to price match and used vouchers get in!! Thanks OP, excellent post

There is now dash-cams for every budget. It wasn't to long ago the above dash-cam was only available for £250 and noticeably the previous Nextbase premium dash-cam 512gw dropped in price to around £100. I remember when dash-cams where in the region of £500 and its was generally company's with fleet vehicles who could save money by having them, not your average driver who can & should have one as not only can it help in fault/non-fault accidents but also disputes on the road. I will probably get the above dash-cam when I need to replace my 512gw as the 612gw has better picture for day & night recording, by then it may have dropped have dropped in price again :D

I had to cancel my Yi from Amazon as they messed me about with delivery, but that was only £30. Not in the same league as this by any measure, but not sure many would spend this much on a dashcam unless you're doing some serious mileage or you're getting cheaper car insurance. Some providers discount if you have a Nextbase.

I have the nextbase 412g. I bought it from a local auction for £28.00 as a new return. I guess it originated from Argos and was returned because of a corrupt memory card. Put a new card in it and it works well. A bit of a bargain but not sure I would be paying the full asking price for one of these.

This supports an additional rear cam due at end of year for around £60-70 according to nextbase live chat.

612gw will chew through memory cards but 4K means you should be able to zoom in close to number plates and they’ll still look amazing. Expensive though. I got the impression from nextbase live chat support that £109 price for this is likely to become the normal when the 612gw comes out. Didn’t say it explicitly but a hint was there. They knew Amazon’s price and that they hadn’t yet received their stock at that price.

Worth noting the 612gw doesn’t support a rear crop but the 512gw does. Connectable rear cam is due at end of year for around £60-70 according to Nextbase live chat people.

If only my eyes were good enough to see the difference between 2k and 4k on a dashcam screen. I can just make out the pixels on my 10" tablet using a jewellers eye glass lol

I paid less last month directly from Nextbase . £104.99 to be exact . Good piece of kit .

No longer £109. Says £119 pre order from Amazon now. Although 5p cheaper with iZilla seller

Nextbase live chat suggested Amazon hasn’t received the stock for that price point and suggested I pay £118 elsewhere (but they would of course) rear cam due at end of year for around £60-70 according to them in the same chat.

That would be jiggawatts :D

I read gw as gigawatt which made me think this would be a good Dashcam for a DeLorean.
