Stimo22 Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 I have a “Nextbase” dash cam that I hard wired very easy to install and use , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Next base wired at Halfords. Done three cars for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Green Posted December 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) Next base seems to be getting the vote. Thanks to everyone who took the trouble to reply Edited December 8, 2023 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted December 8, 2023 Report Share Posted December 8, 2023 Always used nextbase in car and van, the 4xx series. Just as a heads up, some insurance companies will class hardwired dashcams as a notifiable modification so check first (yes i know silly but there you go). Mine are plugged in with the wire tucked in around the trim. Does anyone get a discount for having one fitted? Considering it could save the insurance companies thousands.

Stimo22 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 I was asked if I had a dash cam when I updated my insurance on a new car , so assume that it counted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 I was also asked about a dash cam. I have just replaced my older dash cam. It seemed to be getting a bit hot. I plugged it into my computer for a few hours - worked perfectly. I then became apparent that clearing the windscreen was also heating up the dash cam. I gave my old dash cam to a mate, for his daughter's car. Paid about £40 for a Binatone which seems a cut above my older dash cam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 The Next Base I have is plugged in and the wiring tucked away. It does not have a screen, but is viewed on my phone. This keeps the camera size small and with no distractions. It works very well, as recently tested by a woman driver coming towards me.............on the wrong side of a dual carriageway. She continued past me, only to be met by the cavalcade of vehicles coming behind me ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Look at Thinkware? Usual link to phone, ability to turn off display and no need to regularly format the card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGGIE Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Had a Nextbase 522GW with rear camera fitted today. Nice piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samboy Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Hi gang. I'm after a dash cam and Halfords is quite close to me but all i have ever heard about Halfords are not very good reports. I suppose it depends on which branch you go to. Any thoughts on this ?. Thanks all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
