Product Information

There are times, as will all dashcams, that the number plates can be hard to read - especially when headlights or sunlight is reflecting on them.

However, as said, I could not get the app to work well enough to use on my OnePlus 5 running Android Oreo - even with the ‘Smart WiFI Switcher’ disabled (this detects the WiFi’s internet connection and, if it isn’t very good, then it will use mobile data instead.

If the Dash Cam does not appear as a drive on your PC, please press the reset button on the underside of your Dash Cam and try all the USB ports on your computer. I think that’s a fairly normal requirement for most people, so, time to fit and test the NextBase 412GW iN-Car Cam on the Volvo windscreen.

There are different settings depending on what mode you are in (video, photo, playback/gallery) and pressing ‘Menu’ once will bring these up. Turn the Dash Cam on (using only battery power) and time how long it takes for the battery to run out and the camera to shut down.

I hit a slight issue though as, after connecting, I was met with a near-constant ‘please wait’ while the top half of the screen was flickering away.

Upgrades over the earlier model include higher resolution footage, a quick-release magnetic mount and WiFi connectivity, so footage can be accessed via a smartphone.The latter proved the best as it meant the dash cam could sit higher on the windscreen, and there were no worries of the suction cup falling off. The magnet is quite strong, so you have to hold the mount to prevent the ball joint moving around as you pull the camera backwards. Despite our reservations about this, they work pretty well and LEDs light up when you touch them to help you know where you press. Our range also extends to top brands of electronics, camera accessories, Android accessories, iPhone and iPad accessories, and plenty more.

You can also retrospectively protect or unprotect files very easily in the gallery mode by, again, simply tapping the red shield. Recording will be clear at night with the night vision recording images, as it picks up optimised footage in poor light. a) Plug the SD card into the SD card port, or plug the provided USB cable into the port on the top of the camera (select UPDATE on the cam's screen). It doesn’t have all the frills you’ll find on some dash cams, such as speed camera warnings, but it does its job well.The quick-release system means the camera can be set up in the ideal place and then, if it needs to be taken out of sight, the mount can be left in place and the camera removed. wide, the 112 is our smallest Dash Cam yet and is built to be as simple to use as possible, with a bright 2” LED screen to view the menu and adjust various settings.
