For instance, if the dash cam is needed for multiple vehicles, then the cigarette lighter method will be the most efficient.Whether you choose to hardwire your dashcam or use the lighter socket is up to each individual, but owners will usually opt to hardwire if it’s going to be a permanent placement. In virtually all vehicles there is a small gap between the roof lining and the windscreen, the Nextbase power cable has been designed to push neatly into this gap. However, the downside of this is that you won’t be able to use parking mode which is a key feature of most devices. On the 612GW (and other Series 1 models which had it, the speed readout was a rather obvious yellow, so I asked about options of different colours).

If you have the Incident Aware active, the dash cam will lock the video file and send it to your smartphone. If you combine the 522GW with a rear camera, then the battery life will be reduced due to the additional power draw.
