To connect the cable, attach one end to the dash cam and guide the cable around your windshield to the plug.All Nextbase dash cams come with a guide and advice on where to locate your dash cam. It shouldn’t obscure your view as a driver, or be a distraction. All of our dash cams have the option to turn off the screen when you are driving. When all my 'new' cars arrived the battery wasn't anywhere near fully charged. I always found it took about 3 weeks at 2 x 20 mile weekday journeys to get it fully topped up.

522GW Dash Cam Support - Nextbase - United Kingdom

I'm using the 522gw+rear camera with the overpriced official sd card, the official hardwire kit and the latest firmware. 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. However, originally I wanted to connect it to a live fuse for parking mode, but the manual of the Nextbase hardwire kit mentions the cutoff Voltage to protect the battery from going flat is 11V.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. 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.

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) and Ferrite core to remove electrical interference.Total Length = 5 metres. That's an interesting one. Please could you tell me what firmware the 522GW is currently running and what SD card you're using? Thanks. I hardwired the camera using the Nextbase hardwire kit, it worked great for a 30 mins or so and then the camera shut off due to low battery. The blue LED isn’t turning on. 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 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.The kits I spoke of are 5VDC using a mini-USB plug. These will have a standard pin-out for normal recording but may not initiate parking modes correctly, as how that is done has some variation, but most with this plug are similar. 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.

We have shown that there are equal pros and cons for each method of installation. Whether it is better to hard wire or plug in to a cigarette lighter is really down to personal preference and how the dash cam will be used.

I bought the car one year ago and the battery is fine, also I don't think the camera software is supposed to freeze and heat up the camera. The camera was apparently running for almost 3 days instead of entering parking mode, so my battery didn't have enough power left to start the car. If you combine the 522GW with a rear camera, then the battery life will be reduced due to the additional power draw.
