Hi My name is Lindsay I wish to have the reverse camera located in the back window of my ute. The problem is the 5.5m cable is not long enough is there a cable extension that will fit the existing cable connectors, if so can I have the serial number so I can order the right one. My camera is : 2K GPS Dash Camera with Rear Camera QV3849 please return e mail ASAP
Is there a cable extension for the Nextech QV3849 rear camera cable, and what is the part number?
The manual provided for the Nextech QV-3845 does not contain information regarding the QV3849 model or its specific accessories. However, for Nextech dash cameras distributed by Electus Distribution (TechBrands), rear camera extensions are typically available through their retail partners like Jaycar Electronics.
While a specific serial number for an extension cable is not listed in the standard documentation, you can generally use a 4-pin or 5-pin S-Video style dash cam extension cable depending on your specific connector. For the QV3849, it is recommended to contact the distributor directly to ensure compatibility with the GPS and video signal:
Please note that extending the cable beyond the factory length can sometimes result in voltage drop or signal interference, which may affect the 2K video quality or GPS functionality.

My dash cam stared recording all footage into the ‘Event” folder and filled it up, and is not recording anything into the ‘Loop-record’ folder. How do I get it to record footagin in the Loop-record folder again?
How do I fix the dash cam recording only to the Event folder and not the Loop-record folder?
When your dash camera records exclusively to the 'Event' folder, it is usually because the G-Sensor is set to a high sensitivity. This causes the camera to treat normal driving vibrations as collisions, 'locking' the files so they cannot be overwritten by the loop recording system. Once the card is full of these locked files, it will stop recording.
To resolve this, follow these steps:
If the issue persists, ensure you are using a Class 10 microSD card (8GB-32GB) as recommended in the manual.

How do I clear my SD card?
How do I clear or format the SD card on the NEXTECH 1080p Dash Camera?

Follow these steps to format the card:
Alternatively, if you only want to delete specific files, you can enter Playback mode by pressing the Mode button twice, selecting the file with the arrow buttons, and long-pressing the Menu button to bring up the delete option.

Back up battery not working. When engine switched off date and time reverts to a default.
Why does the date and time reset to default when the engine is switched off?
The issue you are describing typically occurs when the internal battery is not sufficiently charged or has reached the end of its service life. The internal battery in the NEXTECH QV-3845 is a small 180mAh Li-ion cell designed primarily to save settings and provide a very short amount of power for emergency recording.
To troubleshoot this, please try the following:
If the device has been fully charged and still fails to retain the date and time after the engine is switched off, the internal battery may no longer be holding a charge, which is a common hardware failure in older dash cameras.
