What should you look for when buying a dash cam like the many offered by Nextbase? Perhaps you want some protection for you and your family while driving at the lowest price. Nextbase has a wide range of possibilities with their series: 122, 222, 322GW, 422GW, and 522GW models. Alternatively, you may want something that is future-friendly, has the newest technology, and tons of features. They just announced their newest model: the 622GW 4K dash cam. Take some time to learn about Nextbase dash cams to return here to enter for a chance to win one of five that we are giving away.

What are you looking for in a dash cam?

I personally don’t own a dash cam. It’s not that I don’t care about the advantages they offer, I just haven’t got around to buying one yet. But if I was, I would want something in the middle of the Nextbase series: probably a 322GW or 422GW. Perhaps it’s that the review done by Dave Neufeld was extremely persuasive? Or somehow it resonated with me in a way the other Nextbase articles have not. After all, I think all the writers did a great job examining the different models and clearly explaining what they liked and did not like about each: pros and cons. I think what is more likely is that I just like the 422GW most because I feel it’s right for me in a way that I can’t quite explain.

Nextbase keeps raising the bar on what a dash cam can do

Not that I am averse to perfection. I have not seen the new model that was just announced today, the 622GW; nor have I sent it for review—Nextbase haven’t sent me samples yet. But judging from the specifications and features, it is a step above the rest. The features include an impressively clear 4K image at 30 fps, image stabilization, and Amazon Alexa built in. I love that if you are involved in an accident, this dash cam will register the most recent footage as high priority and not let it get recorded over.

So, now your options are bigger. Of course, if you win one of the five prizes in this contest, which include a 122, 222, 322GW, 422GW, and 522GW models, then you can learn from experience what you want in a dash cam. First though, you will need to think about which one has the features you need.

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy, but you can only enter once on this post and once on the article about the new 622GW dash cam. In one comment below each article tell us which features you absolutely need in a dash cam, and which Nextbase model is therefore your favourite.

At the end of this contest we will select five (5) winners and randomly assign them to receive one of the five prizes: a Nextbase 122, 222, 322GW, 422GW, and 522GW models. Each prize also comes with a hardwire kit and a carry case that includes a 32 GB microSD card.

This contest runs from August 27th until September 10th.

  1. The image stabilizer and the fact that it has a feature which will not allow an accident video to be recorded over.

  2. My biggest concern is the image quality since car is constantly moving, therefore Nextbase 622GW 4K Dash Cam is my favourite. It can record at 30fps with image stabilization that takes into account the normal bumps and vibrations.

  3. I would like the Nexbase 222. As a senior, I think this would be a good model for me as it has the intelligent parking mode, can put into the cloud, is apparently easy to use. I don’t want a whole lot of gadgetry, just the basics. The reviews are good on this model and I feel it would be perfect for me.

  4. I like . The G-Sensor detects events by impact and protects those clips so that they are not overwritten of the Nextbase 422GW

  5. I definitely need 4k resolution recording therefor 622GW model is right up my alley.

    Thanks and GL to all!

  6. My wife recently had an accident in which it would have been very helpful to have had a recording of the car that cut her off. The increased image quality and stabilization of the 622GW is something I’m looking for.

  7. Looking for reliability and image stabilization to be able to read license plates. 622gw seems to fit the bill nicely!

  8. Best 4K image is the most important. I’d go with the 622gw as it has the image stabilization and extreme weather tech.

  9. I like the Wifi option on the Nextbase 322GW – so that I can share the dash cam footage to my smartphone. I also like the 1080p quality.

  10. Image at minimal 30fps, highres 1080p, image stabilization, night vision, auto-record on motion-sense while parked.

  11. Being able to see footage that is clear in any lighting is important along with the always on features that can also record people who might want to do something nefarious like damage or break into your car. Thus, the 522GW is perfect for this! Thanks for offering the contest!

  12. 4K image at 30 fps, image stabilization & night vision are critical to any solid dash cam.
    The Nexus 622GW sounds like the right choice.

  13. What hubby needs most is image stabilization, night vision too. I think the 622GW would be perfect for him. I like the emergency services too as he heads out super early in the morning heading to work. Safety features make me feel better. lol

  14. I think it’s important to have a minimum resolution of 1080p so you can make out tough to read license plates, as well as good exposure in dark conditions.

  15. I have been running a dash cam ever since I got in an accident a few years ago. The other driver was honest but had he not been, it would likely have been difficult to determine fault – so the value of a dashcam became apparent. My must have features:
    MUST HAVE:
    1.) excellent night vision
    2.) higher frame rate to ensure license plate capture
    3.) image stabilization (I drive a truck!)
    NICE TO HAVE:
    1.) easy to remove (theft prevention)
    2.) option to add a rear camera
    The 622GW looks like it does all the basics exceptionally well, and has a bunch of great additional features to make it great to live with day to day.

  16. To me it has to survive Canada’s weather. I have used 3 different dash cams before, and each of them ran into different problems that likely were related to the weather. They either have bad picture when the weather is bad or had problems writing to the SD card when the temperature was low. While the Nextbase ones claim to be made for Canadian weather, I really would like to see if the cams work as promised.

  17. The feature I need the most in a dash cam is image stabilization. Therefore, my favourite Nextbase model is the 622GW.

  18. Best image is the most important. I’d go with the 622gw as it has the image stabilization and extreme weather tech.

  19. the only thing i need/want is reliability and a clear image. This 622gw offers both, with image stabilization and extreme weather tech.

  20. The thing I need most in a dashcam is the easiest to use. I am not super tech savvy (my hubby is) and I need to e able to work it and it is simple to use. Nextbase 322GW Full HD 1080p Dash Cam w/ Cabin-View Cam; Carry Case & Hardware Kit -Only at Best Buy sounds like all I need in one easy package.

  21. The night vision feature is amazing. The 422 model with its Alexa capabilities would be my first choice.

  22. Looks very interesting…now use Garmin 35 (5 years plus) …but this has rearview camera which is a big plus.
    T

  23. What I need the most, is the ability to read a license plate even a video clip recorded in moving traffic. I’m hopeful that the higher resolution of the 622GW can deliver that.
