Nextbase Deals & Offers

I have a feeling that they may release another version of the product tomorrow . Getting rid of old stock..

You are correct, there is a motion sensor on the device

nope, you are wrong, it says it activates when it sees a moevemnt. i am pretty sure about that.

Received mine on Friday, Grade B however it was near mint part from the box (original) which had a few dents in it. Easy to use and setup.

Parking mode activates if someone bumps into your car not if someone dances in front of it.

"Promotion "NEXTBASE15" is temporarily not available at this time." (poo)

After voucher code 46.75..... good price .... well done heated.... can't find cheaper anywhere .....quidco and topcashback as well .....waoooooo bingo

I bought mine from E-Prance on Amazon, but they no longer sell it and I imagine it is no longer made. https://www.amazon.co.uk/PRANCE-Novatek-Driving-Recorder-G-sensor/dp/B00IPDDAME My point was really that the Yi 2.7" dashcam is really not very good, but It is really difficult to work out which cameras are good. YouTube compress the hell out of all footage and I'm sure some of the footage on YouTube is from 4k gopros etc masquerading as dashcams The G1W is a little old now, and it was a much copied dashcam - the copies are often poor. The genuine ones have a Novatek 96650 processor and record in .mp4 format instead of .mov or .avi This 'looks' to be a good match, but with eBay you are chancing your arm. The extra "S" indicates it has a capacitor instead of a battery (a good thing) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VIOFO-G1W-S-2-7-LCD-TFT-Screen-1080P-Capacitor-Car-Dash-Cam-Camera-DVR-G-sensor/323417090132?hash=item4b4d292854:g:ShUAAOSwcxhbhDZv

Has anyone posted the deal for the Nextbase 412GW using the 15% Halfords voucher yet? Might stick that one up soon so the whole range is covered. Oh and the hardwire kit is also eligible for the 15% off, bought one earlier this week.

Has anyone true using the code in store?? I'm thinking of withdrawing my quidco cashback so I save another 8% etc Edit. Does matter as this code expires today so I can't use it

Yes it comes on if car is bumped even slightly

It has a G sensor function which you can set to low / medium / high which will activate when car is stationary and gets bumped. Would deffo recommend getting it hardwired as with my previous dashcam went through about 3 power leads!

Do you know if it comes with car park protection? Thanks I need one that will record in car park if my car gets bumped. I have some "nice neighbors".

Good deal. I've had this model for 6 months and pleased with result. I paid £170 so this is a good price. I also purchased a hard wire kit online to have it permanently connected to my fuse box. Easy to fit. Footage is good

thanks for the post, with AA voucher and 10% credit card offer managed to get 512GW with rear for 100£, excellent quality

Hello, Thank you for your email and also taking the time to email us about your question. The camera is not able to run at 1440P at the front and 1080P at the back i m sorry, as the internal chips is unable to do this. The camera is designed this way and cannot be fixed with an update.

Thanks I got mine fitted and had it all done for £118 as well.

£101 plus the £30 fitting fee minus a 10% voucher

Yeah to confirm they just refunded me the difference.

Got it other day. Coming from old G1W, the video quickly looks shockingly bad. Not in focus. In some cases footage looks pixelated. Can’t read number plates from footage even in good daylight condition. Default settings with latest firmware. Any ideas ? May be faulty ?

that's why even legal types will advise against going up in court even what looks like a 'good case' can come undone (horror)

Thanks. Well it literally worked fine for ages, but then the one time I needed to rely on it, the recorded file seemed to be corrupt. All of the other files were fine, even before and after the incident. To make matters worse, I looked like a liar in court because I was able to show the other clips, but just not the one of the actual incident. I doubt it is the SD card, I am pretty careful where I buy these things from. After looking into things, I noticed that several recordings would just randomly be corrupted. I checked on forums at the time and it looked like others had a similar experience too. I replaced the camera since then and haven't had any issues, but no incidents either now. I am even more ultra careful now knowing that even if you are completely right and legal you can still lose a case in court.

DrP I feel your pain my friend, when you say this model of dashcam let you down was it a fault with the dashcam or was it the sd memory card? The reason I ask is there's so many sd memory cards it's confusing never mind fake ones! It's important to check your sd memory card is still working every week and once a month to format the card as well. As you want the card to have footage of anything that happens. I've bought decent high endurance memory cards and had to return them straightaway as they are corrupted and not fit for purpose so there are various issues that can mean you do not have footage when you need it and this can apply to any dashcam.

Didn't spot that.

Haven’t had it yet, just reading what site says

When I called their support, they said it was normal that the battery on my cam lasted a minute after being charged for 2 hours. Surprised how yours lasts 30 minutes :/

The internal battery lasts 30mins and records in 2mins loops in parking mode BUT the battery is using no power when “off” and only turns on when movement is detected, so unless your car is hit 16 times in 1 night while parked you are fine!!!

I wonder how that works when the crappy battery on Nextbase dashcams lasts seconds

The 412GW has parking mode which uses the battery from the dash cam NOT the car battery if you get hit while parked up and the dash cam is “off”, in other words it doesn’t need to be hardwired to use this feature

This deal is from July...

When i click on the link get deal it says they're £99

Amazon now doing this for £78.95

There's a reason these cameras have parking modes; the internal battery holds enough charge to record a few clips when a bump is detected.

I just wanted to add my own thought. When I was researching, I decided to not go for a live fuse because while the car is off, the dash cam will still be on, draining and killing your battery. My dash cam only turns on when I turn on the car. The fuse I connected my dash cam, is the 3amp, the wiper blades fuse. If you want to keep your dash cam on, while parked, maybe find a portable battery charger, plug you dash cam into that. Or you will have to look in your car manual and see which fuse is the best. But, leaving on your dash cam, 24/7, will just drain your car battery.

rubbish.

I don't understand your point? I wish it was a legal requirement that dash cams where in cars by default from new. The sooner almost everyone on the roads has a dash cam I will feel safer while driving. It wasn't me that pointed out to people they could just removed the data from their footage to show they are not speeding it was you? I do 100% feel if I am at fault I would hold my hands up and say I am at fault. The difference being I declare that I have a dash cam and declare which dash cam I have.... im sure with a simple google search, my insurance company could see there should be metadata that tells them the speed im travelling at etc and they would see thats not there and know I had something to hide.

Probably ok as a deterrent but imo true 60fps is a must at whatever resolution, especially at night where some sensors may struggle.

Quite a good deal, except for the quality. If it's just to show basic video on a computer screen then not bad, not great, it's okay. Best to have full HD 1080p at least to ensure quality imagery. As for speed being recorded ... DON'T SPEED ... easy! As they say "Speed Kills" and only idiots speed.

Ordered Mine 21st july and got delivered yesterday the code still worked then. When everyone said it wasn't

I don’t believe he did as I was told the window has closed when I called because the link was dead.

How did you go about ordering it @jeff.bond

Just ordered one successfully - at £25 its too good an offer to miss (y)

Sent nextbase an email last night asking if there was any plans for a discount code again in the future or at the moment, mentioned I had a 512gw which was out of warranty, they emailed back saying there was no plans in the future and halfords would be doing a bundled deal sometime in august...pretty sure I said I already have a 512gw...Oh well

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)

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.
