Nextbase Deals & Offers

Correct. They are prioritising MOTs and other such essential things. https://www.halfords.com/customer-services/shopping-at-halfords/covid-19-updates.html#car-services See under the services they are not offering.

Just to confirm, they are not doing installs due to Covid-19 social distancing?

I think the £30 is for fitting only. They do sell most hardwire kits for the various models and I imagine you could buy one same time as getting the cam fitted but it wouldn't be included in the price. I think they will be happy to fit the cam for you irrespective of whether you bought it from them, yes. Best phone your local store to clarify. As an aside, Halfords and the RAC are both understandably not doing any dashcam installs these days.

Do you know if Halford provide their own hardwire kit inclusive of the fitting price? I take it you can bring in any dashcam (regardless of place of purchase)

Thank you. Bought it yesterday thanks to you

Clearly ;) At ease - As you were.

I dont get it (confused)

Its probably better to get 2 separate cams for front and rear to have the highest possible resolution for both. I have tinted rear window and the cam cannot be seen from the outside. Though I have a sticker with 'Vehicle Camera Recording' on the back, yeah tailgaters do back off once they see the sticker. Anthony69 is spot on with tailgaters when they see the cam/sticker.

I think they mean their pull out game was strong

come again?

I just picked up the 222 model as my first cam, can be found for £55ish at places like Currys and Argos. After looking around, the flashier models with their WiFi transfer for video files seems very slow and flaky - decided to go for an ‘old fashioned’ memory card only model rather then deal with the fuss. Good luck :)

I just got a 112 version, very basic no gps. For the rear of my car, as it can be stuck on as suction cops fall off. It a 720p but works gears for the rear. I use a dod 460 lsw I think it is for the front. The picture Is brilliant Day and night only down side is it only takes a 32gb card. I use SanDisk HIGH ENDURANCE cards.

I have this...it messes up my sat nav signal.

No. Old discontinued product. Most basic at that. Go for the x22 range.

Anygood?

@ceanth Or this one. https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/oneo-drive-1080p-car-dash-cam-dual-lens-rear-camera-sold-and-delivered-by-mymemory-3449381

Cold the newer 222 version is about a pound more on amazon

Just bought and fitted this yesterday, it seems good value https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07TF7MVL2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Can anybody recommend a dash cam with rear camera support? Don't mind ordering from Chinese websites where there is a long delivery time

I have to agree nextbase are garbage I have had 2 in the past and only lasted about 14 months each only use blackvue now what a dash cam I know there expensive but quality never comes cheap

Yes I had the 612 it went in the bin I had a lot of issues with it I have had 2 nextbase dash cams and both ended up in the bin nextbase website and backup is rubbish they don’t want to know I paid over 200 pounds for that 612 all in all have spent over 300 pounds in the past on nextbase not no more have now invested in blackvue and its been the best I no its expensive but it offers so much more they have there own cloud and everything is automatically sent to it so is another safeguard brilliant

Yes I misread the date, looks like March 19. Not that likely to be a 3rd gen imminent then, still wouldn't buy one, did they discontinue the 612 because of all the issues?

It was released last year! Came out in May.

The 522gw has been out at least 2 years now.

3rd gen? The 2nd gen has only just come out and the 622gw is still to be released. So rubbish :)

They work well. with Next base you have 2 options; One that clips on the side which captures what you would in your rear-view mirror effectively. Or another separate module which you place on your rear windscreen. I would recommend this as it is superior to the one you just clip on the side. However, you do have to run cable from the main dash cam to the rear module. I fitted mine myself and you cannot see a wire (although I did spend some time on it to get it like this). If you dont want the hassle & want something quick, I would suggest option 1: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nextbase-Add-Module-Cameras-Compatible/dp/B07PV97J2Q?ref_=ast_sto_dp The better option in terms of visibility, I would say option 2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nextbase-Dash-Compatible-Window-Camera/dp/B07PV8NSF2?ref_=ast_sto_dp

Thanks! How well do the rear cameras work? I like the idea of the one which clips on the side but would that also read number plates?

You can get it on Amazon for £110 thought: https://www.amazon.co.uk/NEXTBASE-Viewing-Bluetooth-Compatible-Polarising/dp/B07PV2RX57

:(

It has now expired im afraifd

Exactly same in my experience too. Next base are overpriced garbage and I know 2 other people with them who have had the same problem. I buy the Yi cams nowadays, for the price they are spot on.

I am on my third set (522GW+this) and this one's faulty too. After a while they stop working. It starts allright but it stops recording while you drive. Not safe to keep checking the bloody led. I used to do a lot of miles though.

Not at all, you only have to ask.....

I have this camera connected to a 322. Really happy with it. I had both hardwired by Halfords for £200 Edit: Paid £49 for it. Realised I missed that bit...

Thanks. Was that so hard?

I Am afraid it’s the same old thing in this world you only get what you pay for that’s the difference between a rolls Royce and a plastic pig

Perhaps you should also state it costs x4 as much @ £425 - For that price I would want the moon on a stick

I have an earlier model and have had issues with it, their support solution was to switch off the mode where it records whilst parked if you get knocked if using the rear camera add on. It works now I have switched this off but I bought the product for this feature and there is no likelyhood of a firmware update to fix the bug. Obviusly not sure if this affects their newer products and this only is a bug if using the rear camera add on.

You'd get it half this price from a fence (lol)

I have had 2 nextbase dash cams and gave up on them I have had this model and 612 and both failed after 12 months old now have invested heavily on the blackvue 900 model front and rear camera with pro magic battery backup from Halfords and I can say it is the best money can buy don’t bother with anything else trust me

522GW £119.20 .. Thanks but no thanks.

Need a dash cam at some point. When I'm not on lockdown

I've never had any issues. Halfords/Nextbase have been great.

Dearer currently.

Hardly any discount here. How come I got my 522 from Halfords cheaper than this???

I’d love to know too, spotted it a few times in my searches

I was going to purchase the second generation 222 model. Would you say this is better even though it is a first generation model. Thanks in advance.

Great. Thanks

Absolutely brilliant. Mine was about 5 weeks out of warranty date when it developed a fault on the display. I asked for a repair cost and I had to send it in for evaluation. Repaired and returned free of charge (y) (y)

I think you will find this model does indeed have parking mode it's the lower models of Nextbase Dashcams that do not.. https://www.nextbase.com/en-gb/dash-cam-features/parking-mode/

Mine arrived today and the screen is knacked, got loads of lines which makes viewing things difficult, sending it back

Don’t bother buying nextbase dash cams have had 2 of these nextbase cams and battery failure in both of them nextbase web site is rubbish they don’t want to know am using BlackVue dash cams now more expensive but worth it no battery issues with these models

I've got this camera, originally it was locking up, changed the memory card from a U1 to a U3 and it hasn't given me any problems since.

Does anyone have any idea when it’s actually out for sale?

I was debating getting this camera... but not sure after comments?

What's the picture quality? Can you read the number plate of the cars in front? How's the picture quality at night? Thanks

Are there any downsides/missing features of this old model?

Don't forget that it is an old model. If you don't mind, go for it. However I wouldn't.

It's the same one. Saw that earlier but thought about the seller rating.

Any difference between this and one in OP? Thanks

(:I (y)

That's fine, this older one I don't think lasted 2 months lol

Unfortunately that model still has a very small internal battery and will be no good in about 2yrs (annoyed)

Mine was just exchanged for the nextbase 522GW front and rear. Cannot comment yet as it was only yesterday I got it. But reading the reviews, people seem much happier with this model.

@gadger_r56 Brilliant, thank you, much appreciated.

Could I ask what model and from where please?

True. However when it is replaced by a far superior x22 range for a few pounds more then maybe it is. Nextbase are still trying to flog these. Yes, it is potentially better than nothing, but if you can afford to run a car, then I would suggest that you can afford a few pounds to get a current model which is better for both day and night vision.

I have just replaced this. It works well enough and does the job. Night vision isn't the best. But other than its it has been faultless. Better than not having one. However I have just got a 4k cam with wifi and GPS for 32 quid so better out there for around same price

Ironically, don't talk rubbish yourself. Just because you have a 720p CCTV camera that is of fine quality doesn't mean every single 720p dash cam will be the same. OEMs use all sorts of sensors etc. The form factor of a CCTV camera is generally bigger than a dash cam too so bare this in mind too. As for "from one of the best manufacturers", another hit for "don't talk rubbish". There are much better brands out there.

I had one of these, the image quality was just about acceptable, i had to reformat the sd card every other week as it wouldn't overwrite the oldest files. The cheap chinese one that cost £15 had far better image quality, with better colour and a sharper image, you could actually read number plates of other vehicles. The best part was that it would overwrite the old files so i didn't keep getting a memory full error.
