## What reviewers say

Three whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, TechRadar, PCWorld) hands-on reviewed the Nextbase iQ 4K, all praising excellent day-and-night footage, an extensive smart-security feature set and premium build. All three flag the steep price and the ongoing subscription cost, and all note that several advertised AI features (RoadWatch AI, Guardian Mode) were not available at launch. No qualifying RTINGS or PCMag hands-on review surfaced. (Based on 3 reviews, 3 lab-tested, 2023-11-03–2023-12-11.)

Praised: Excellent, clean 4K day and night video quality; Comprehensive smart security/monitoring suite (parking radar, live view, witness mode, SOS); Premium build quality and sleek, well-made design; Easy setup and a strong, responsive companion app.
Flagged: High purchase price, especially the 4K model; Paid subscription needed to unlock full feature set, adding ongoing cost; Several advertised AI features (RoadWatch AI, Guardian Mode) not available at launch; Bulky unit can protrude into the driver's eyeline in smaller cars.
Disagreement: Reviewers split on the unit's size: Tom's Guide called it 'a large dash cam that might protrude in your eyeline,' while TechRadar found it 'isn't too bulky' and 'slender enough not to be obtrusive.'
