Award-Winning Car Dashcam <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this car dashcam review of the<\/strong> Nextbase, I will discuss the tremendous features and some options available. This one of a kind Nextbase 512G dashcam touts an ultra HD 1440p resolution, making it one of the best dashcams on the market for video quality, rivaling the resolution of many TVs available in today\u2019s technology-rich market.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nextbase won the Best Buy Which? Award for 2015 scoring multiple categories wins for car dashcams. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This car dashcam gets coupled with the latest sensor technology using the Sony Exmor CMOS sensor and night vision. This award-winning car dashcam gives great resolution in any situation. It comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS tracking, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) cameras so that the user can track action ahead of, behind (optional), and alongside their car on any ride, day or night, aiding in insurance claims or traffic stops. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever you\u2019re out on I-95 around Bangor, Maine, you should have the video rolling. Actually, even when your car is parked because the sensors will activate video when anyone contacts your vehicle. This technology is so astute, it will start capturing video from a few seconds before the actual contact. Therefore, vandals and hit and run drivers could g<\/strong>et captured before they can escape. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-Quality Ultra HD 1440p Resolution <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This dashcam connects the Sony Exmor CMOS technology with the HDR and WDR resulting in high ultra HD 1440p resolution and contrast picture. One of the first of its kind in the industry.<\/strong> Not only does this feature create a TV-quality video, but this dashcam also boasts a reflection-free lens. Therefore, it provides clear images that are particularly helpful in reading license plates or road features to use as evidence in the event of an accident or other incident. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although not all states allow dashcam video evidence in civil suits, many insurance companies accept it, and the fact that the victim has video evidence will make many consider settlement, rather than taking their chances at a civil trial. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Built-in Wi-Fi Technology and Location Logging<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the need arises, you can access<\/strong> the recorded high-resolution video through the built-in Wi-Fi technology feature. This science allows downloading and sharing videos directly to a smartphone or other electronic device. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nextbase app provides personal storage. In the event of an incident, the Nextbase 512GW dashcam uses GPS tracking to record actual speed and location data while driving, giving the user an easy playback function, which can be viewed by law enforcement officers (LEO) so that you may avert a ticket. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoiding a speeding ticket can be a best-case scenario because once you get the violation, you must pay the fine or challenge the ticket. As you know, disputing a traffic citation will mean paying a court fee at the minimum. Plus, you might need to take time off from work to resolve the ticket. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The sleek brushed aluminum front with a rear 2.7\u201d LCD color touch screen makes this dashcam an excellent fit for any vehicle. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Verified Amazon Purchasers <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Of the 639 verified Amazon purchasers, 84 percent gave this car dashcam a four or five-star rating, with an overall average of 4.3 stars for all purchasers. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While a couple of customers expressed concern about the image quality, the majority of the feedback is overwhelmingly positive for such a high-quality picture and lens. Also, the majority of users found the mount and software to be easy to use and well-constructed. The Nextbase 512GW Ultra HD 1440p Dashcam is the best dashcam for high resolution and quality recording for any vehicle on the market at a reasonable and responsible price.

    \u201cThis arrived with full instructions and was fairly easy to install. The only problem I had was with the hardwire kit because my car fuses were too short to insert into the fuse carrier of the hardwire kit. I had to install it into a spare fuse. Once installed, the hardest thing was adding my vehicle registration details into the camera. Once that was completed, I found that it worked fine.\u201d <\/em>– Bob Moore, Verified Amazon purchaser on 4 August 2017 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
