First Time Dashcam User

[Lonewolf]

Having recently bought a Škoda Octavia my parents have offered to buy me a Dashcam for it, not a satnav. I’ve bought a Nextbase 522gw which is being fitted on Monday.
Are there any tips or do’s and don’ts for a first time user?

Check the sensitivity levels.
Check parking mode is on.
Make sure you have a large microsd card in it.
Add your car reg to it, and adjust display settings.

I've got the 512gw.

And if your dab signal gets bad, it's probably the dashcam interfering.

I was told 32gb was sufficient for an sd card

Buy two of the largest size SD card it will take. Make sure you buy the High Endurance model, not just high speed. You buy two to make sure you have a spare SD card so you can replace the SD card after an incident, thereby preserving evidence from being accidentally overwritten.



Oh dear. You really want a triple camera dashcam. Front camera, rear camera, and cabin camera. The cabin camera is to prevent false claims that you were using a mobile phone or not wearing your seatbelt or similar.

Bearing in mind this purchase is a gift I didn’t want to push my luck. I did order the front and rear combo though.
