3" LCD Touch Screen Screen

The 522GW and 622GW upgrade their LCD touch screen to 3" over the smaller 2.5" models (222, 322GW, 422GW). The addition of the larger touch screen allows the dash cam to keep a slim profile while making it easier to use. Nextbase has also added "on-dash cam editing" – giving you the ability to edit your videos on the dash cam itself using the touch screen and then view or share a smaller clip showing just the incident. Whether it's changing settings, showing off clips, or on cam editing, the touch screen makes it a breeze.

Bluetooth & WiFi AutoSync

The WiFi and Bluetooth connections between the 522GW and the phone/tablet are established directly. This means you don't need to use mobile data or a WiFi hotspot. WiFi and Bluetooth are easily turned on in the settings menu. With your dash cam and device connected, you can:

Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam Playback And Edit Footage On Dash Cam And PC
  • Upload your footage to MyNextbase Cloud Service
  • Edit and share your videos directly from your phone with friends, family, social media, or insurer
  • Utilize Dual File Recording meaning Both high-resolution and low-resolution files are recorded simultaneously. The low-resolution file makes streaming and sharing easier by enabling the clip to be downloaded faster with less buffering.

Optional Secondary Camera

Worried you might want to upgrade to a dual (two dash cam system) setup in the future? Well, of course, Nextbase has you covered on this as well. The Series-2 dash cameras come with a modular secondary camera design, meaning 2 of the 3 secondary cameras plug plug & play directly into the side of your dash camera, while the third is connected via a USB cable. Check out the optional secondary cameras:

  • Rear Mounted Rear Facing: Plugged directly into your dash cam via USB, this rear-facing camera is mounted on the rear windshield, protecting from tailgators, rear impacts, and rear parking incidents.
  • Rear Facing: Similar to the camera above except this plugs directly into the side of the front camera. Easier to install and set up.
  • Interior Facing: Plugs directly into the side of the dash cam and captures everything inside your vehicle. Great for rideshare drivers and company vehicles.

Built-in Reflection-Free Polarizing Filter

Another great upgrade that comes included with the 522GW and 622GW is the built-in polarizing filter. Eliminate reflections and glare from the sun and ensure important details aren't blocked by unlucky bright sunlight. With a rotating bezel, you can set up the reflection-free lens exactly how you need it in your vehicle.

Protection When Parked

Nextbase's intelligent parking mode will automatically switch into "parking mode" by shutting down everything except the G Force sensor as soon as you park and turn off your ignition. If the sensor detects an impact, the 522GW will automatically turn on and record for 30 seconds.
