New Brand | Nextbase Dash Cams Now For Sale

Nextbase dash cams, the world's safest dash cams featuring innovative integrations such as Amazon Alexa, Emergency SOS Alerts, what3word, and more!

At The Dashcam Store we don't just sell any dash cam on the market. We curate only the best brands to ensure our customers get the best value for their purchases. This is why today we're proud to introduce Nextbase dash cams to our lineup.

Originally Nextbase was a manufacturer of in-car entertainment devices such as portable DVD players, but in 2009 they launched dash cams in the UK market. Since then, Nextbase has won awards such as Mashable's "best value from a big brand", five Which? Best Buys, and received recognition for their innovations in Dash Cam technology from The Sunday Times, The Daily Mail, The Independent, Driving.co.uk, Auto Express, What Car?, Honest John, Tech Advisor, and T3.

In 2014 Nextbase helped revolutionize the car insurance market by partnering with insurance companies to develop the world’s first dash cam insurance policy. The policy offered drivers a discounted premium if they drove with a dash cam.

Nextbase has also launched a non-for-profit initiative called the National Dash Cam Safety Portal which helps motorists in the UK report serious road incidents directly to the UK police, using their dash cam video as evidence. The portal is used by 36 UK police forces and is estimated to have saved over 170,000 hours of police time, receiving over 23,000 uploads of dangerous driving incidents.

With their growing lineup of attractive and unique dash cameras combined with a history of revolutionary industry innovations, it's no wonder that they currently own 80% of the UK dash cam market.

You can ask Alexa to control your dash cam, play music, make phone calls, listen to audiobooks, hear the news, check the weather, control smart home devices, get directions, find parking, and more, all while keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Nextbase Dash Cam SOS Emergency Alert Feature

Nextbase's SOS Emergency Alert system is unique to the dash cam world. Available on the 322GW-622GW models, every time you enter your vehicle, your dash cam will automatically connect to your smartphone. In the event of a crash, the MyNextbase app will automatically begin a countdown timer and ring until the driver confirms on the app that they are alright. If the alert is not canceled, emergency services (fire/EMS) will automatically be contacted on your behalf with critical information such as:

  • Accident Information: GPS location, heading and time of event
  • Medical Information: History, allergies, blood type, doctors' details
  • Personal Details: Next of kin, home address, phone number
  • Car Details: Make and model, license plate number
Nextbase Dash Cam what3words integration

The 622GW model is special in that it contains what3words geolocation which is able to pinpoint your vehicle to a 10-foot square location, which can be shared with emergency services or roadside assistance—even without a data connection. Combined with the emergency service alert system, you can enjoy your ride knowing you've got the world's safest dash camera at your side.

Worried you might want to upgrade to a dual-lens (two camera system) setup in the future? Nextbase has you covered on this as well. The Series-2 dash cameras, starting with the 322GW, come with a modular secondary camera design, meaning you can simply plug in one additional rear-facing or interior-facing camera module to the front camera USB port. Check out the 3 optional secondary camera modules:

  • Rear-Mounted Rear-Facing: Plugged into your dash cam via USB cable, this rear-facing camera is mounted on the rear windshield, protecting from tailgaters, rear impacts, and rear parking incidents.
  • Direct-Mounted Rear-Facing: Similar to the camera above except this plugs directly into the side of the front camera. Easier to install, no cables necessary. Provides a "zoomed in" view out the back window.
  • Direct-Mounted Interior-Facing: Plugs directly into the side of the dash cam and captures everything inside your vehicle. Great for rideshare drivers, teen drivers and/or company vehicles.
