• What SD card should I use with my Nextbase Dash Cam?

  Nextbase strongly recommends using their branded U3 microSD cards to ensure compatibility with high-speed video writing requirements, as generic cards may fail during loop recording.

• How often do I need to format my SD card?

  To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended to format your microSD card every 2-3 weeks via the dash cam's setup menu. Ensure you back up any important files before formatting.

• Does the dash cam record while the car is parked?

  Yes, if the Intelligent Parking Mode is enabled and the device has power (via hardwire kit or internal battery for short periods), the dash cam can wake up and record if it detects a physical impact to the vehicle.

• How do I update the firmware on my Nextbase device?

  Firmware updates can be performed using the MyNextbase Connect app on your smartphone or by downloading the update file from the Nextbase support website onto your SD card.

• What is the Emergency SOS feature?

  On supported models, Emergency SOS can alert emergency services to your location if a severe collision is detected and the driver is unresponsive.
