I've been using a Nextbase 312G fo over 4 years without any problems, in both car and motorhome (hardwire kit fitted in each). Had no problems at all. Software not very helpful, but works well.

Has been superseded.

I've been using a Nextbase 522GW for quite awhile now, took a bit of setting up for my requirements but now works well with nice clear videos.

ive been waiting over a week now for Nextbase to get back to me. When they do I’m sure their stock response will be as usual, you need to format the SD card!

Is that this ?

If so, one review says that it can't be left in the sun. Is this true?

Been on my van screen for 4 years never missed a beat. Australian company I think, they have a lot more sun than us.

At under £100 Which? recommend the Nextbase 222 - full review here (hopefully link should work)

Nextbase 222 review - Which?

The Nextbase 222 is one of the more affordable models in the company's Series 2 range. It's got the same recording resolution as its predecessor, the iN-CAR CAM 212 Lite, but it has a slightly smaller display. What will you get if you upgrade to this model? We've put this Nextbase dash cam...

The majority of dashcams use the same sensor and the same board. Even many of the big brands. There's very little difference between them. There's a few YouTube videos about it. Unless you plan on vlogging, most of the features the fancy ones add are pointless. Reliably is the most important feature. You want to fit and forget and hope you never need it.

Personally I prefer the models that use adhesive mounts instead of suction cups. GPS is useful for getting the correct time and adding speed, but not essential.

And if you've got blinds, think about mounting. I've ended up mounting mine upside down on the dash for my last two vans.
