Nextbase 522GW Dash Camera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a recent event I had the opportunity to meet with a representative from Nextbase Dash Cams and go for a ride in their demonstration vehicle.\u00a0 I was able to talk with Jeff Chuh the VP of marketing for North America during the ride and find out more about the system and the features that were included in this package.\u00a0 After we talked I was able to bring home with me a Nextbase 522GW with a rearview camera and a hardwire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emergency SOS Response<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One feature we discussed is the Emergency SOS response system that connects to your phone and is able to contact the authorities in the event of an accident.  This feature really seemed important to me, as you may one day find yourself unable to call for help after an accident.  The system will alert emergency services with your location and information about yourself and your vehicle that you provided when setting up the application.  I\u2019ve set mine up, but haven\u2019t had a chance to test it out, which is a good thing!  The Emergency SOS response is free for the first three months, and available for a yearly fee of $49.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3\u201d Touch Panel Screen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The screen is a 3\u201d touch panel that I found to be very responsive and\u00a0 easy to use.\u00a0 I can be driving and easily switch to my rear view camera with a simple touch of the screen.\u00a0 Also, I can go through the settings while parked in a convenient manner by just touching the screen.\u00a0 The screen also has a great resolution which makes everything easy to see and read when you are using the system.\u00a0 You also have a nice button at the bottom of the screen that allows you to manually save footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of resolution!  The videos the camera takes are remarkable.  I was able to show a video I recorded to a Facebook group within 5 minutes of recording it, thanks to the quick upload and intuitiveness of the Nextbase app.   The viewers  were able to tell the make, model, and license plates of cars passing by in the video, as well as the color of the light at every intersection.  All the info you would need for your insurance in case of an accident is very clearly visible in the camera video and Nextbase app.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
