the Nextbase 622GW's recording capabilities are excellent. Video is super crisp and smooth thanks to its 4K resolution, while the image stabilization helps dampen screen judder from road bumps and even the car's acceleration.
Unfortunately, Nextbase's dash cam companion app doesn't feel quite as polished as the 622GW. While the interface is generally well designed, it can take a while for video thumbnails to appear and even longer for video clips to buffer.
Fair warning: the Nextbase 622GW comes with a hefty price tag.
the resulting footage is of excellent quality, making it extremely easy to pick out number plate and vehicle details in all conditions.
the 622GW features a new Ambarella H22 quad-core chipset, which lets you capture pin-sharp 4K footage at 30fps.
Connection between smartphone (Apple iPhone in this case) and the 622GW wasn't great – we often failed to establish a Wi-Fi connection. You're better off plugging the unit into a laptop or PC.
