In this blog post, we’ll be taking an in-depth look at the Nextbase 512G dash cam to see whether or not it’s the right camera for your needs. We’ll review the features, design, performance, and more to help you decide if it’s the right dash cam for you.I would rate the Nextbase 512G a Zero out of five, as it has caused me to miss recording very important footage and is therefore not fit for purpose. The 512G was awarded the Which? Best Buy Award in the Dash Cam category, beating 30 other Dash Cams to the top spot. The award ensures that we remain the only dash cam manufacturer to hold a ‘Best Buy’ status to date. Which? noted “The footage from the Nextbase iN-Car Cam 512G is excellent. The anti-glare polarising filter minimises screen reflections well, and the footage is smooth even when you’re driving on uneven roads.” Which? concluded that the 512G is “an excellent dash cam that will provide you with great footage and useful features.” It is essential that you format your SD card every 2-3 weeks to delete the Protected filed and free up space on your memory card for new recordings.

It’s further recognition of the dedication put in by everyone at Nextbase to make our products the undisputed best on the market.

If you’re interested in a dash camera you’ve probably already heard of Nextbase. The 402G Professional regularly comes out on top in product tests, thanks to its high quality footage and low-light capability. But it has now been superseded by the 512G, which promises even better footage and night capability. What's it like?

The 512-G signals a new generation of dash cam. We’ve listened to consumers who noted that crystal clear image quality on an in car camera is vital. Having added a host of new features to ensure that the 512-G stands head and shoulders above others in the market, we believe the 512-G will be the best dash cam on the market for some time to come. “Glare and reflection can result in poor and distorted footage no matter how good your dash cam. But the polarising filter in the 512-G completely eradicates this problem completely – the first, and only dash cam in world to do so.” Basic Specifications Manufacturer's Part Number NBDVR512G EAN 5060384251738 Type Type Dash cam Lens Aperture range f/1.6 Focusing Autofocus Video Resolution Full HD 1920 x 1080p (30 fps) Sensor CMOS White balance Auto Viewfinder Screen 68.5 mm LED screen Dash cams G sensor Yes G sensor record time - 3 minutes Increasingly, motorists are using footage to prove that they weren’t at fault during incidents so visual quality is a vital component of the purchasing decision. Insurers are also recognising this now, with 29 of the UK’s major insurers now accepting in car camera dash cam footage as part of an insurance claim. Furthermore, there are immediate financial benefits for motorists using a dash cam. Plug your Dash Cam in. Ensure the cable is plugged directly into the Dash Cam and NOT via the mount.

I think this take me around 5 minutes for each of my 64 Gb memory cards, only problem i have 6 cameras in the car, and aside for one 32Gb they are all 64 Gb. To ALL READERS: the first and last test is not good enough. The random occurrence that I have found means that it could easily be that the first and last are OK. However, if the last is consistently OK, then that means the moment of crash should be caught. I dont think, on the evidence so far, that one can cound on the last always being OK. Dash cams are a great way to record your journeys and ensure you are protected in the event of a road accident. The Nextbase 512G dash cam is a great choice for those looking for a modern, high-specification model with a range of features and excellent video quality. AXA and Swiftcover could also offer you varying discount depending on your details when you use a Nextbase Dash Cam.

kamkar - I have some pretty sophisticated software myself and was able to find the unfinished file, but unfortunately the actual fact of switching the camera on caused the camera to start recording and it recorded over the unfinished file space. I could have recovered the file if I had immediately taken the chip out of the camera {{{{ which I always would now if anything like this happened, just don't give the camera the opportunity to restart }}}}. Keep vehicles secured from theft and collision even when you’re not present. Parking Mode detects motion outside the vehicle and records activity while the car is parked. Photo Mode: In other areas the 512G is very much like the cheaper 402G. It has a GPS sensor to record speed and location, with software that can decipher the information and plot it on Google Maps. Like with the 402G, footage can be recorded in various different resolutions up to 1080p – or true HD. Regarding the recording lengths, the camera will record continuously in small segments (1,2, or 3 minutes). It will record these segments consecutively until the SD card is full. Then the oldest piece of footage will be deleted and the newest will be saved in it's place. This will continue looping and is called Continuous Overwriting. The Dash Cam does this automatically to allow for more footage to be recorded and the old, unnecessary footage to be deleted without manual intervention. However Protected footage is not overwritten in the same way. These can fill the card and reduce the quantity of normal footage saved on your SD card.

There’s an internal battery which lasts for around 5-10 minutes: it’s not intended for recording, but to ensure the recording can be saved before the camera powers down. It’s also useful if you need to remove the 512G from its mount and take video or photos outside the car following an incident. Users have complained that the camera can be quite detailed to remove from its mount, which can cause problems for those frequently mounting and dismounting the device from vehicles. Additionally, the camera is a bit pricey, not including Wi-Fi capability or a memory card for straight-from-the-box use.
