Nextbase 622GW review

Nextbase's 622GW is a single front camera that records 4K at 30 fps, 1440p at 60 fps or 1080p at 120 fps through a 140-degree, f1.3 six-layer lens with a built-in polarizing filter. It adds image stabilization and Enhanced Night Mode, which Nextbase reserves for this model. The safety features stand out: Emergency SOS can alert emergency services with your location if no movement is sensed after a crash, and what3words pinpoints your position to a 3 meter square. Intelligent Parking Mode, a 3 inch touch screen, Bluetooth 5.0 auto-sync, 10Hz GPS and voice control round it out. Rear and cabin coverage come from plug-in modules sold separately, so a two-channel setup costs more than the base camera. Nextbase showed us only European pricing and listed the camera as out of stock there, so its US price is pending and its value score is conservative. We compared documented features and published prices.
