The bonus 25% discount for cheaper insurance is still available if you insure vehicle through Surething Insurance. Nextbase seriously need to fix this as many users are suffering the same issue! Some have even lost vital footage due to their dash cam freezing and no longer recording their journey. Lead/Acid car batteries should really not be kept below 12V for any great length of time. New batteries can tolerate this longer than old ones but as a rule it is bad for the battery. Driven daily that new battery can probably tolerate 11.8V but with it drawn down to that level before the HWK cuts off and then left sitting a week it may be much lower when you try to start the car so better to use a setting of 12V or higher for the HWK. Whether or not you unplug your dashcam at night is down to whether your cigarette adapter port is always on and still uses power when a car is fully off. If this is the case, the dash cam does need to be unplugged at night as it could result in a flat battery.

Following the placement, we can proceed to the installation of a 4m power cable with a 12V power supply to the car cigarette lighter port.I bought the car one year ago and the battery is fine, also I don't think the camera software is supposed to freeze and heat up the camera. The camera was apparently running for almost 3 days instead of entering parking mode, so my battery didn't have enough power left to start the car. The Nextbase 522GW is a Series 2 Dash Cam that boasts an advanced image sensor and various software enhancements compared to its predecessor, the 422GW. To learn how to use the 522GW, we will first cover the installation process. The dash cam can be installed in two ways: I hardwired the camera using the Nextbase hardwire kit, it worked great for a 30 mins or so and then the camera shut off due to low battery. The blue LED isn’t turning on. We have shown that there are equal pros and cons for each method of installation. Whether it is better to hard wire or plug in to a cigarette lighter is really down to personal preference and how the dash cam will be used. With Alexa you can ask to play music, make calls, get directions, find somewhere to park, and of course, control your dashcam.

Nextbase Hardwire Kits were designed as an alternative to the 12V style power cable that comes included with the Dash Cam. There are several advantages of installing a hardwire kit, some of which include: My first impressions are very positive. I will soon add some road footage, both day and night, for you too see the levels of recording. Regardless of where you install your dash cam, it should be out of the line of sight for safe driving. jokiin might know if one of his hardwire kits will work. I'd recommend that as a better alternative as they do only top-quality products and I've never hears of a SG HWK failing.

However, originally I wanted to connect it to a live fuse for parking mode, but the manual of the Nextbase hardwire kit mentions the cutoff Voltage to protect the battery from going flat is 11V.

We must measure the included 4m cable, which should be sufficient to reach the windscreen mounting location. The 522GW features an IPS LCD touchscreen, which makes accessing the menus very easy. In these menus you can set all the usual things - video length, resolution, GPS on/off, G Sensor, Intelligent Parking mode, etc. Its around 35% smaller than its precursor (the 512GW) which makes for a more discrete install. The GPS has been improved dramatically too - connecting now 10 times a second for faster and more accurate location finding. Can I for example cut out that little box in the middle of their hardwire kit and replace it with something else with higher voltage cut off? Or adjustable voltage? Or do I need to buy an entire new hardwire kit from another brand with that better cut off and replace the whole thing from fuse to cam? Any suggestions?This happened to me too now. I have a Seat Leon from 2019 and I didn't drive it on the weekend. When I got into my car, the dashcam was still on, but the software was frozen. The camera felt very warm.

I don't know if the NB HWK is adjustable or how it's done but I'd look into that. Some HWK's aren't adjustable and are set too low (11.8V is common, some are 11.6V or lower ) and there's some manufacturing tolerance so it may be ~0.1V or so lower than the setting. It could also be you've got a faulty HWK but they rarely fail in this manner. You need a voltmeter to diagnose this but you can look for an adjustment and set it to 12V or a bit higher and that may take care of things.When all my 'new' cars arrived the battery wasn't anywhere near fully charged. I always found it took about 3 weeks at 2 x 20 mile weekday journeys to get it fully topped up. But it's the parking mode is what the OP is concerned about K. I don't have a problem with my dashcam flattening my battery either as I also don't use parking mode.
