User Manual
Introduction to your Dash Cam
This range of Nextbase™ Dash Cams has been designed specifically with ease of use in mind; it is recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully selected to give the best performance for day to day use.
Please check the firmware version of the Dash Cam, the version can be found in the Setup menu under System Info.
The latest versions are available to download from our website, where you can download and update when necessary. www.nextbase.com
First Time Use
Before you can use your Dash Cam, it is
essential
to make sure it is fully charged. Connect your Dash Cam via the USB port to a home power source such as a PC or home USB socket for approximately 2 hours.
Basic Operation
A U3 type Micro SD card is required to use this Dash Cam. This is due to the very large data rate generated by high resolution recording. For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with
your Dash Cam. For use with Rear Cam attached, a U3 Card is required.
Your Nextbase Dash Cam is set to record video, in files of just 1 minute in length. This means that each video file is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company.
Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with video files but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest file to make space for new recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of driving data saved.
Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 45 minutes of driving footage.
The GPS will automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time.
Automatic Start / Stop Technology
The Dash Cam will automatically power on and be ready to use once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power on once the ignition has been turned on. When power is cut off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process.
1. Tips for capturing best video footage:
1.1
Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view
mirror so it is not a distraction to the driver.
1.2
Ensure that the area on the windscreen that the Dash Cam is looking through is clear of dirt and
is within the wiper zone. This will ensure that your videos are as clear as possible.
1.3
Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road.
Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation.
1.4
Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard
these can cause reflections to be seen on the windscreen and these reflections may be
captured during recording.
2. Tips for stable memory card performance:
2.1
Periodically format the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you format the
memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with
your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from
the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content.
2.2
Format your memory card using the Dash Cam. This will make sure that the card is
structured specifically for your camera. Within the Setup menu, select ‘Format SD Card’ and
follow the on-screen instructions.
2.3
Switch off the Dash Cam before removing the SD card, to prevent the chance of damage being
caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it.
Nextbase SD Cards
For best results, we strongly recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with your Dash
Cam, available to purchase online from nextbase.com, or your nearest retailer. A card that is not made specifically for a Dash Cam may appear to work perfectly in the beginning, although failure tends to happen after prolonged use, this could be days, weeks, or months. In a worst-case scenario, you may only discover recording failure after your SD card fails to record a serious incident, therefore using a suitable SD card is imperative.
See page 45 for more information on Nextbase SD cards.

Camera Legal Requirements Precaution
In some jurisdictions it could be considered an invasion of privacy rights to take or publicly display photographs or videos of people or their vehicles using this product. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy in your jurisdiction and in any jurisdiction in which you may use this device. Video recordings made by this Dash Cam should be for personal use only.

Dash Cams are to be used in a commercial or employment context - again, we recommend that you check the legal requirements with your legal advisors prior to commencing use of Dash Cams in commercial or employment contexts.
Notices
G Sensor Notice
The G Sensor within the Dash Cam measures forces exerted upon it, with reference to one g which is the nominal force exerted upon us when stationary on the earth's surface.
The G Sensor will also trigger to protect any recording currently in progress, if a pre-determined threshold of force is exceeded.
The G Sensor protection will be adversely affected if the Dash Cam is NOT mounted in the vertical direction i.e. with the lens pointing to or from the direction of travel.
G Force information derived from a G Sensor is not warranted to be totally accurate at all times, as it is derived from the G Sensor through a sampling method over time. The precision of the G Sensor value recorded depends upon when the acceleration took place at the instance of the sample taken.
The thresholds to trigger the video protection rely upon a trigger value being exceeded between two successive samples, in any one of the three G Sensor axis.
If the Automatic G Sensor protection does NOT trigger during an event, then the Protect button should be pressed, in order to protect the file. Protecting the file can also be performed using the
Playback function upon the Dash Cam (models with LCD screens), or indeed through the
MyNextbase Connect™ App for applicable Wi-Fi models.

1. Insert MicroSD Card
Insert a suitable MicroSD card (U3 Type) in to the Dash Cam, taking care that the gold contacts
are facing towards the LCD screen side of the Dash Cam.
Push the memory card until it clicks into place.
Note:
Use the edge of a small coin (or similar object) to push the memory card in place if required.
Take care that card has 'clicked' into place, a second push inwards will release the memory card.
- For best results, we recommend using Nextbase branded SD cards.
Do not remove or insert the memory card when the Dash Cam is turned on.
This may damage the memory card, or recordings within.
2. Remove dust cover from the Dash Cam
Remove the dust cover that is located on the front of the Dash Cam to gain access to
the mounting point.
To remove the dust cover, lift the cover away from the body of the Dash Cam.

4. Connect car power cable
Connect the supplied car power cable to the Dash Cam Mount’s USB port.
Do NOT connect the power cable to the USB port on the Dash Cam.
5 Plug the power cable into the 12-24Vdc outlet of your vehicle
The Dash Cam will automatically power on and start recording once power is available.
In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power
on once the ignition has been turned on.
Also available to purchase is a Nextbase™ Hardwire Kit. This connects your Dash Cam directly to
the vehicle’s fusebox to power it leaving your 12Vdc outlet available for Phone / Sat Nav charging.
The Nextbase Hardwire Kit includes the necessary 12-24Vdc to 5Vdc convertor and battery
protection circuitry. See page 9-10 of the Nextbase Accessories Manual for further information.
Route the power cable around the windshield to the 12-24Vdc socket, ensuring that your view is
not obstructed, and that the cable is not a distraction. Use the cable fitting tool (bottom, left)
included with your Dash Cam to more easily open the lining of your vehicle, within which you can
stow the cable.
See page 18, ‘
Positioning your Dashcam
’ for more details.
Note:
- Do NOT wire the Dash Cam directly to a 12Vdc supply by cutting the cigarette plug off the end of
the cable, or permanent damage will result.

9 Adjusting the Dash Cam
With the mount attached to the windscreen, ensure that objects on the Dash Cam display are level
and adjust as required. Ensure that the road ahead is at the centre of the image, in the central third
of the display. If too much of the sky is visible it may risk underexposing details on the road; ensure
that the road ahead is clearly visible on the Dash Cam display.
Do NOT attempt to adjust the Dash Cam while driving.
17
Positioning Your Dash Cam
Please read and follow the notes below for the safe operation of your Dash Cam within your vehicle.
Before using the device on your windscreen, check the state and local laws and ordinances where you drive.
Some laws prohibit or restrict the placement of objects on the windscreen of a motor vehicle.
IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MOUNT THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS
AND ORDINANCES.
Always mount your Nextbase™ device in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view of the road.
Nextbase does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Nextbase device.
As per the installation instructions, you must install the Dash Cam so it does NOT obstruct the driver’s view of the road (red, above), preferably on the passenger side of the vehicle and behind the rear view mirror.
The Dash Cam needs to view through a clear section of windscreen in an area swept by the windscreen wipers (green, above). However, the Dash Cam should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the green wiped area is the maximum permitted by UK law.
Hiding the Cable
Make sure the hanging cable does not obstruct your view out of your rear window. Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable as you are stowing it. If necessary, use the cable tidy tool supplied with your Dash Cam; this can be used to help pry open the lining of your car (see illustration below).
Notes On Positioning Your Dash Cam
Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of the driver, as depicted by the red area in the illustration
to the left of this page.
When installing the Dash Cam in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the
windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under trim.
Make sure that the Dash Cam power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls,
such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers.
Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to
obscure any mirrors.
Clean the windscreen at the point of location, prior to fitting the Dash Cam, also, applying some
moisture to the suction cup may be beneficial, to ensure absolute adhesion.
The 622GW comes with a built-in polarising filter on the lens, designed to reduce glare and improve
the clarity of your recordings. Looking at the Dash Cam’s display, rotate the bezel at the front of the
lens until the captured image is at it’s clearest, and glare is at a minimum.
For more information on the polarising filter and setup, see page 19.
It is recommended NOT to operate the Dash Cam whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop
technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving.
Adjust any settings or review recordings whilst stationery, not whilst driving.
After the preliminary SETUP has been carried out upon the Dash Cam, adjust the Screen Saver
settings to either ON or Speed display (showing only your speed). Turning the Screen Saver ON
will blank the screen 30 seconds after starting the vehicle and therefore the screen will NOT be a
distraction to the driver.
Accessories
Multiple accessories can be purchased for your Nextbase Dash Cam, including a rear window camera, Dual USB charger, and a rear facing camera. Some of these products can effect where you should position your camera.
For more information on how to position and use these products, download the ‘
Nextbase Accessories Manual
’ PDF at www.nextbase.com.

Polarising Filter
The Polarising Filter (highlighted on the Dash Cam, below) is designed to reduced the glare on your windscreen as seen through the Dash Cam, allowing you to record the road ahead clearly.
In bright sunlight the filter will also enhance the colour and contrast levels to help capture number plates and other vital details.
Adjust the Polarising Filter
The most effective way to set up your Polarising Filter (1) is to place a piece of plain white paper (2) on your dashboard (3) under the rear view mirror. With your camera turned ON you will see the reflection (4) of the paper in the LCD screen of the Dash Cam. Look at the reflection (4) on the windscreen through the
Dash Cam display (5) .
622
GW
3 4 2 1 5
Gently rotate the front bezel to adjust the filter. Rotate the filter until the windscreen reflection can no longer be seen on the Dash
Cam display (see below).
Once the reflection can no longer be seen, operate the Dash Cam normally.
Please note; it may not be possible to fully remove the reflection, but using the Polarising
Filter will noticeably improve your video quality.
Do not place fingers on the glass lens of the filter.
Do not adjust the filter while in control of the vehicle
The above diagram is for illustration purposes only.

Changing Mount Attachments
each mount, align the pins on the mount with the holes on the adhesive/suction attachment and slide firmly to the right until you hear the pieces click into place. To remove the top, simply do the reverse, slide it to the left until you can lift it off of the mounting pins.
Ensure the windshield is free of grease and dirt before mounting; if necessary, clean with a warm, clean cloth.
Ensure that the Mount and Dash Cam do not obstruct the driver’s view.
Removing Adhesive Residue
If you wish to remove the adhesive mount from your windscreen, use hot soapy water or an alcohol based solution to get rid of any sticky residue and ensure that your windscreen remains clean and clear.
Leaving residue on the windscreen for an extended period of time will make it harder to remove.
If hot water or an alcohol based solution proves ineffective, it may be necessary to use a small sharp blade. If this is the case, protect your fingers and use the blade flat against the surface of the glass to avoid causing scratches.

Notes:
- When recording in 1080P @ 120 FPS, you will be able to view your video in Slow Motion on your
Dash Cam, allowing you to pick out details that may be missed in full speed video.
- The resolution of an attached Rear Facing Camera is fixed at 1080P. The resolution or frame rate
of the Rear Camera cannot be altered independently of the Front Facing Camera;
the two resolutions are linked together to ensure maximum performance.
- 1080p @ 120 FPS does
not
support EIS or Extreme Weather Mode. If either of these is selected
with 1080p @120 FPS selected, the Dash Cam will automatically drop down to the nearest
compatible resolution.

Recording History
In some territories, there are laws prohibiting the amount of footage your Dash Cam should hold. The default setting is ‘
Maximum
’, where your Dash Cam records and stores videos without restriction.
If ‘
Minimum
’ is selected you will first be asked to Format (wipe) your SD Card; be sure to back up any files you wish to keep before doing this. If you choose not to Format the SD Card, no action is taken and the function will not be activated.
Once the SD Card has been formatted, the file recording length will be automatically set to
1 minute. The Dash Cam will now be limited to storing only 4 unprotected files at any one time.
When a new file is recorded it will overwrite the oldest file, keeping the number of stored files at the maximum of 4.
As protected files (i.e. recordings of incidents) cannot be overwritten, these do not count towards the 4 file maximum, and are stored to the capacity of the SD Card.
When Recording History is turned On, Time Lapse will be turned Off.

Parking Mode
When Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam enters standby mode when the 12Vdc supply has been turned OFF (typically removing your ignition key).
The Dash Cam will also enter standby mode if no physical movement is detected for 5 minutes, this is designed to allow use of a permanent 12Vdc supply, i.e hard-wire kit.
Should physical movement of the vehicle be detected, the Dash Cam will power on and start recording a 45 second protected video. If no further physical movement is detected then the
Dash Cam will return to standby mode, if physical movement is detected subsequently, then the camera will continue to record normally, i.e. driving once more.

In the event of an incident
The camera immediately notifies the MyNextbase Connect app to begin monitoring key sensors in your smartphone such as GPS, accelerometers and the pedometer. The camera and app will notify you that it has begun monitoring your smartphone's sensors with on-screen messages and an alarm tone.
Should the accident render you unconscious and/or you are unable to cancel the on-screen Emergency
SOS countdown, the MyNextbase Connect app will automatically send a crash alert containing your GPS location, mobile number, medical details and vehicle information to the Emergency Services. If you are ok, you can deactivate the alert manually or respond to the follow-up call from an emergency services operator.
If the alert does not get cancelled, Emergency Response operators will automatically begin the process of dispatching paramedics to your last known location.
If the crash detection technology within the camera is triggered inadvertently, the MyNextbase Connect app is designed to detect a range of vehicle and customer movements such as continued driving, walking around or moving the phone. It will automatically cancel the Emergency SOS process if movement is detected as we expect you can call the emergency services if medical assistance is required.

Emergency SOS Frequently Asked Questions
The below points are there to answer any further questions you might have about the Emergency SOS system.
Question
If I crash, will you notify the Police?
Can I set it off inadvertently?
What happens if I receive a call and don't need an ambulance?
What happens if I am out of mobile phone signal range?
What happens if the phone battery dies?
What testing and evaluation has the
MyNextbase Connect App undergone?
Response
No. The MyNextbase Connect™ app automatically sends your location, medical and vehicle details to the nearest Ambulance or
Emergency Response Service only.
The Emergency SOS feature has a range of safeguards to ensure it won't alert the emergency services unless it has validated that assistance is required. This is tried and tested technology has been UK Government approved for connecting directly to the emergency services.
The Emergency SOS countdown gives you 150 seconds to deactivate the phone sensor monitoring process. Failure to deactivate will then result in a call from the Emergency Services operator. If you are ok you can simply cancel the process via the camera or app within 150 seconds or answer the emergency services call. If you do not manage to do either, simply press the 'Call Emergency Services' button and tell the operator that the crash detection feature sent an alert and that you missed the call back.
In the event of an accident, the MyNextbase Connect app requires a network connection and mobile signal. The network connection is needed to send a very small data packet (about 1.5kb) to the emergency services, and the mobile signal is required for the Emergency operator to call your phone. If there is no network coverage, then the MyNextbase Connect app cannot send the data.
If your phone's battery dies while the MyNextbase Connect app is monitoring your phone's key sensors, then this data can NOT be sent.
Due to the nature of the Emergency SOS feature and it's ability to connect directly to the Emergency Services, rigorous testing and evaluations are carried out on a regular basis. These include but are not limited to:
- Regular camera/app crash, processing and connectivity testing
- Confidence and accuracy testing
- Emergency Service integration and process testing

This shape/text can be moved, resized, and rotated using the handles on the sides and corners of the
selected annotation.
When you have finished your annotation, click ‘
Save and Close
’ to return to the Add Annotation screen,
where more annotations can be added. When you have finished adding annotations, press ‘
Continue
’
to proceed.
4. Add Title Screen (Optional)
Add a title screen to your video. The title will be displayed for 4 seconds at the start of your video. To add
a title, click inside the white rectangle and type the desired title. Press ‘
Continue
’ to proceed.
5. Output Settings (Optional)
The final step in the editing process allows you to specify the quality of your video file and the data
included.
The Video Resolution determines the quality of the video footage; by default the Video Resolution will
be set to output at the same quality as the original files. Lowering the Video Resolution will produce
lower resolution files but will also reduce the size of the file and lower the time it takes to produce the file.
Stamps for GPS, number plate, and time can also be removed, as well as the audio and GPS data from
the video by ticking the corresponding box. Once the data has been removed it cannot be added back
into the edited video. This will not affect the original file.
Lastly, you can specify the name of the file being created and the location that you would like it saved.
When you have chosen your output settings click on the ‘
Confirm
’ button and MyNextbase Player will
begin processing your video.
6. Process Video
During step 6, MyNextbase Player will process your video clip(s) and edits, and produce a single file in
the location specified. This can take some time and will depend on the number and length of video files
being joined and video resolution. Once the video has been processed, it will be added to your
MyNextbase Player file list.
Video Sharing
Videos can be shared to social media and insurers through the ‘
Share Video
’ button. When a destination is selected (i.e Facebook), the target web page will open in your default browser. You will then be asked to sign into your account, and once you are logged in, the browser will close and a pop up will show your upload’s progress. When the file is finished uploading you will see an option to view your uploaded download your video. This link can be sent to your insurer, without the need to transfer a large video file.
Videos will be automatically deleted 30 days after upload.
More Features
When a video is being played back in the Playback Window, press ‘
Crtl + i
’ to open a window displaying all of the metadata for that video including information such as: file name and size, resolution and frame rate, max and average speeds, GPS information, and more.
Some functions, such as GPS data, are available only on select models.

What3words™
The 622GW Dash Cam comes with what3words enabled, allowing you to share precise locations easily.
what3words has divided the globe into 3m squares and given each one a unique 3 word address.
It means everywhere can be located with just three words.
In the event of a serious driving incident where you are incapacitated , the Emergency SOS feature
(pages 28-30) automatically sends your GPS location to the Emergency Services so they can be dispatched to assist you.
However, should you be involved in an incident but are
not
in need of an ambulance, the Emergency SOS should be cancelled. In this case, you will see the below screen, which will display your current what3words location, which can then be passed on to a vehicle recovery service, taxi, or friend.
Still Need Help?
Call the Emergency Services and say your three word address is:
///
toast.pine.faced
When the Dash Cam is in Video Mode, (either recording or not recording), and your vehicle is parked and at a standstill, press the what3words button to the right of the Dash Cam screen to display your current unique what3words location.
You can press the question mark icon on the what3words screen for further information about what3words, as well as a link to their website, www.what3words.com.

PC Connection
Use the supplied USB cable to connect the Dash Cam
directly to your PC via the socket;
do NOT connect the USB cable to the Powered Mount.
Once connected the Dash Cam will turn on with three options
available; ‘
Access Files
’, ‘
Power On
’, and ‘
Update Firmware
’, as
described below. Firmware Update information can be found
on the next page.
Access Files (Windows)
When this option is selected, the Dash Cam will function as a card reader for your PC. An extra drive will appear, and you will be able to view / manage the stored files upon the MicroSD card within the Dash Cam.
You will be able to view your files using MyNextbase Player™, a free editing and sharing software available to download from www.nextbase.com
. The Dash Cam is a ‘read-only’ device, therefore uploading files to the SD card when in Access Files mode is not possible.
Access Files (Mac)
When this option is selected, the Dash Cam will function as a card reader for your MAC. The 'Nextbase’ external USB disk icon will appear on your MAC and you will be able to view and/or manage stored files.
You will be able to view your files using MyNextbase Player, a free editing and sharing software available to download from www.nextbase.com
.
The Dash Cam is a ‘read-only’ device, therefore uploading files to the SD card when in Access Files mode is not possible. When the Dash Cam is connected to either a Windows or Mac system you will see a pop up on the Dash Cam that will read ‘
Use MyNextbase Player to review, edit, save, and share recordings’
.
Power On (Windows & Mac)
When this option is selected, the Dash Cam will power on with all functions available. This includes charging of the internal battery, a full charge will take approximately 2 hours.
ALWAYS turn OFF the Dash Cam before disconnecting from your PC/Mac.
42
Firmware Update Information
Firmware controls the basic functioning of the Dash Cam.
If your Dash Cam is not functioning correctly, you may need to update your firmware.
Firmware updates may also be released to fix bugs, and improve the general functionality of the Dash Cam.
In short, it’s important to keep the firmware on your
Dash Cam up to date so it can operate to it’s full capacity.
How to Check your Dash Cam’s current Firmware Version
Within the Setup Menu, on page 4, select ‘System Info’. Here you will find information relating to your
Dash Cam, including what firmware version is currently active (i.e R05.3).
Ways to Update Firmware on your Dash Cam
There are a number of ways for you to update your firmware version.
- Connect your Dash Cam’s SD Card to PC or Mac™ using a card reader. This will open a file explorer drive,
and show the contents of your SD Card. Go to the ‘Support & Downloads’ page
on nextbase.com and download the newest firmware version (i.e R05.4); this will download as a .bin file.
Drag and drop the .bin file to the SD Card.
Eject the SD Card and insert it back into your Dash Cam. When power is supplied to your Dash Cam it
will turn on, and will automatically begin updating. While updating, the red LED to the left of the screen
will start flashing. Once the update has been completed your Dash Cam will automatically restart.
- If you have a PC, You can also update your Dash Cam using the ‘
Update Dash Cam’
function on
MyNextbase Player™. This function will NOT work on a Mac. Connect your Dash Cam to PC via USB,
select ‘
Firmware Update
’ and open up MyNextbase Player™ (available to download for free from
nextbase.com). Select ‘
Update Dash Cam
’. A pop-up will appear on your PC describing your current
firmware, and the latest version available. When you select ‘Update’, your Dash Cam will automatically
begin updating. While the Dash Cam is updating, the red LED will flash. Once the update has been
completed your Dash Cam will automatically restart. Please note that an internet connection is
required for the Dash Cam to be updated.
Notes: If ‘Keep User Settings’ is turned ON in the Setup Menu, your Dash Cam will boot up normally, straight into video live view mode, ready to use. If ‘Keep User Settings’ is turned OFF, after the update is complete, the Dash Cam will boot up into the First Time Use menu, which must be completed before the Dash Cam can be used. Files saved on the SD card will not be affected by the firmware update.
43
TV Connection
The Dash Cam can be connected to external video equipment such as a television or monitor to allow you to view your videos on a larger screen. You can connect your Dash Cam to any television or monitor using an HD-Out cable. Please note that not all televisions/monitors will be compatible with your Dash Cam.
Connect the HD-Out cable (available from your nearest retailer) between the Dash Cam and your external device (see diagram below), then turn on the Dash Cam. The screen on the Dash Cam will be blank as the video image is now being sent to the external device, the red power LED on the Dash Cam will be lit indicating the unit is turned on. You can then proceed to use the Dash Cam as you would normally.
Make sure that the Dash Cam battery is charged prior to use, as power is not supplied to the Dash Cam via the HD-Out cable.
For prolonged use, an external power supply may be required; use the supplied USB cable with a 5Vdc/USB adaptor, of the type typically supplied with mobile phones.
Note: ENSURE that any external power sources are of the correct 5Vdc output, otherwise damage
will be caused that is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
44
For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with your Dash Cam, available to purchase online from nextbase.com
, or your nearest retailer.
32GB 64GB 128GB
Approx 90 mins footage.
Approx 180 mins footage.
Approx 360 mins footage.
We recommend formatting your SD Card every 2 weeks to ensure that there is enough space to record and store new footage. When formatting, protected files WILL be deleted. If you wish to keep these protected files, you must back then up externally, most commonly by saving files to a desktop computer, or another secure storage point.
To clear your SD card, go to the ‘
Format SD Card
’ function in your Dash Cam’s Setup settings Menu and follow the instructions on screen.
If you are using a Rear Camera module with your Dash Cam you need to ensure that a U3 SD card is used inside the camera. It is important to note that our 32GB SD card will record approximately
1.5 hours of 4K footage, before the Dash Cam begins overwriting the oldest recordings, or 45 minutes if using a Rear Camera Module. The 62GB SD card will record approximately 3 hours of 4K footage, before the Dash Cam begins overwriting the oldest recordings, or 1.5 hours if using a Rear Camera
Module. The 128GB SD card will record approximately 6 hours of 4K footage, before the Dash Cam begins overwriting the oldest recordings, or 3 hours if using a Rear Camera Module.
You must use a Nextbase U3 SD Card for your Dash Cam to function correctly, whether you have a Rear Camera attached, or not. See below for the approximate recording capacities of Nextbase SD cards.
32GB: 1.5 hours of 4K footage, or 45 minutes if using a Rear Camera Module.
62GB: 3 hours of 4K footage, or 1.5 hours if using a Rear Camera Module.
128GB: 6 hours of 4K footage, or 3 hours if using a Rear Camera Module.
256GB: 12 hours of 4K footage, or 6 hours if using a Rear Camera Module.
64GB
If you experience any of the faults listed above, we strongly recommend that you replace your
SD card with a Nextbase SD card. All our Dash
Cams are tested using Nextbase branded SD cards, therefore we cannot attest to the compatibility of other manufacturer’s products. For best results we always recommend using Nextbase branded cards.

CE Mark Information (Conformité Europénne)
The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is a symbol (below) printed on products to indicates it’s conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within
Europe. It is used on many products across many industries (for example, SD cards) as a mark of compliance with European standards.
In recent years, many variations of this mark have appeared in the market. While similar, the mark above is the
only
variant that is associated with, and declares compliance with European standards.
Other marks, like the ones below, do not guarantee that the product it is attached to or is compliant with European standards for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA).
The main difference between a legitimate CE mark and a misused CE mark is the spacing of the letters. The letters, C and E, tend to be formed identically, however the spacing between them is what separates the real from the false. The images below show how the letters should be spaced.
There will never be additional markings such as a border or circle used on a legitimate CE Mark.

Warranty, then Nextbase will, at its option: (i) repair the device using new parts or previously used parts that satisfy Nextbase's quality standards, (ii) replace the device with a new device or a refurbished device that meets Nextbase's quality standards. Such remedy shall be your sole and
Warranty (cont.)
exclusive remedy for any breach of warranty. Repaired or replaced devices have a 30 day warranty.
If the unit sent in is still under its original warranty, then the new warranty is 30 days or to the end of the original 1 year warranty, whichever is longer.
Before seeking warranty service, please access and review the online help resources available on www.nextbase.com
. If your device is still not functioning properly after making use of these resources, contact a Nextbase Authorised service facility in the original country of purchase or follow the instructions on support at www.nextbase.com
to obtain warranty service.
If you seek warranty service outside of the original country of purchase, Nextbase cannot guarantee that the parts and products needed to repair or replace your product will be available due to differences in product offerings and applicable standards, laws and regulations. In that case, Nextbase may, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable laws, repair or replace your product with comparable Nextbase products and parts, or require you to ship your product to a Nextbase Authorised service facility in the country of original purchase or to a Nextbase
Authorised service facility in another country that can service your product, in which case you will be responsible for complying with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and for paying all custom duties, V.A.T., shipping fees and other associated taxes and charges. In some cases, Nextbase and its dealers may be unable to service your product in a country outside of the original country of purchase or return a repaired or replaced product to you in that country due to applicable standards, laws or regulations in that country.
Online Auction Purchases of Non-New Goods
Products purchased through online auctions are not eligible for Nextbase warranty coverage.
Online auction confirmations are not accepted for warranty verification. To obtain warranty service, an original or copy of the sales receipt from the original retailer is required. Nextbase will not replace missing components from any package purchased through an online auction.
International Purchases
A separate warranty may be provided by international distributors for devices purchased outside the United Kingdom depending on the country. If applicable, this warranty is provided by the local in-country distributor and this distributor provides local service for your device. Distributor warranties are only valid in the area of intended distribution.
