Nextbase 522GW Dash Cam Review and Support Guide

The Nextbase 522GW dash cam is a 1440p model with a three-inch touch screen, GPS, Wi-Fi and Alexa support. It remains practical if you value a display and modular rear-camera compatibility.

The 522GW dash cam sits in Nextbase's Series 2 range and records 1440p video at 30 fps or 1080p at 60 fps. Its three-inch touch screen, built-in GPS, Wi-Fi, polarising filter and Alexa integration make it a screen-led alternative to smaller app-only cameras.
