Product Information

buying a new car means its been stood around in a compound when imported or manufactured and at each point its been to including the garage you bought it from that has probably had to jump start like the rest of them ...... The Nextbase 522GW is a Series 2 Dash Cam that boasts an advanced image sensor and various software enhancements compared to its predecessor, the 422GW. To learn how to use the 522GW, we will first cover the installation process. The dash cam can be installed in two ways: If fitted to a permanent live supply, the inbuilt minimum voltage limiter will protect the vehicle's battery from going flat. With the Hardwire Kit installed on a switched live supply, the Dash Cam will power on and start recording automatically when the vehicle is opened or starts. For a modern car 11.8 is too low, my car with an AGM battery will start complaining that the battery voltage is too low at 12-12.1v.

We must measure the included 4m cable, which should be sufficient to reach the windscreen mounting location.My first impressions are very positive. I will soon add some road footage, both day and night, for you too see the levels of recording. Includes: 5V Mini USB power cable, 2 Amp ATO/C fuse (standard), 2 Amp ATM fuse (mini), Fuse tap table (standard), Fuse tap cable ATM (mini), Ferrite core If you don’t want a dashcam to draw from your battery when the car is off, this can easily be achieved by hard wiring the camera through a fuse that turns off with the engine. However, the downside of this is that you won’t be able to use parking mode which is a key feature of most devices.

This product has an innovative low voltage protection system which automatically shuts off the power to a dash cam when the battery voltage drops to 11.6V or 22.8V depending upon your selection.

I always found it took about 3 weeks at 2 x 20 mile weekday journeys to get it fully topped up. They are also still using lipo batteries in their cameras which gives the cameras a typical 1 year lifespan when all the decent camera manufacturers have switched to super capacitors which last so long that nobody yet knows how many years! Had mine fitted in january and using the app on my samsung s8 it seems to take forever to bring up the videos on my phone. Any one else experience this.I am on the latest firmware and have tried stuff like reformatting the SD card etc.. Yet the dash cam is freezing at random. Why is it doing this? I shouldn’t have to worry about my dash cam randomly stopping recording as it has frozen. A Viofo HWK might also do better (if it's comopatible) but some of the current problems being found with Viofo cams might be HWK related so I won't recommend them anymore for any other than Viofo cams which need the extra power they provide. With the car new at Christmastime, the battery should be OK. Still, with modern cars there's not really an "off" as a some of the computers only have a 'sleep mode' and will draw a very very small amount of current when parked so starting it and letting it run awhile to charge every 2-4 weeks is a good idea. And HWK's also draw current like this, again a tiny amount but it's there. Lead/Acid car batteries should really not be kept below 12V for any great length of time. New batteries can tolerate this longer than old ones but as a rule it is bad for the battery. Driven daily that new battery can probably tolerate 11.8V but with it drawn down to that level before the HWK cuts off and then left sitting a week it may be much lower when you try to start the car so better to use a setting of 12V or higher for the HWK. Whether or not you unplug your dashcam at night is down to whether your cigarette adapter port is always on and still uses power when a car is fully off. If this is the case, the dash cam does need to be unplugged at night as it could result in a flat battery.

Used a SanDisk SDXC UHS-1 128 gb, Class 10 card but it won’t record unless I disconnect the rear window dash cam. The 522GW features an IPS LCD touchscreen, which makes accessing the menus very easy. In these menus you can set all the usual things - video length, resolution, GPS on/off, G Sensor, Intelligent Parking mode, etc. Its around 35% smaller than its precursor (the 512GW) which makes for a more discrete install.Nextbase Hardwire Kits were designed as an alternative to the 12V style power cable that comes included with the Dash Cam. There are several advantages of installing a hardwire kit, some of which include: An important and new feature is the use of Alexa to give you voice control over some of the actions. I don't know if the NB HWK is adjustable or how it's done but I'd look into that. Some HWK's aren't adjustable and are set too low (11.8V is common, some are 11.6V or lower ) and there's some manufacturing tolerance so it may be ~0.1V or so lower than the setting. It could also be you've got a faulty HWK but they rarely fail in this manner. You need a voltmeter to diagnose this but you can look for an adjustment and set it to 12V or a bit higher and that may take care of things.
