Anyone recommend a good front/rear dash cam?

Hello all,

I currently have a front and rear dash cam Nextbase 522GW from Halfords who installed it.

It works decently enough. However, the issues with connecting it to Bluetooth and WIFI are horrendous. Meaning I cant view footage without spending a huge amount if time getting it connected and disconnecting it to try and get it to work and then the issues of it taking ages to stream a video on my phone etc. Plus at times clips have vanished even though there was plenty of space and just formatted.

So I am wondering if anyone can recommend one that doesnt have these.issues?

I spoke to Halfords and they said that its due to connecting to a phone via Bluetooth and WiFI. Unlike for example Ring doorbell or CCTV that's connected to strong home WIFI.

I asked about an upgrade to the Nextbase IQ and they said that it would have the same issues and the screen is small and other negatives even compared to the 522GW.

Any advice appreciated.

Can you not remove the SD card and view the video files on a PC?

Yes you can but its a right hassel when you have the app and should be simple and easy to just open the app and view rhe clips.

Thanks..hope to get some responses as its a very frustrating piece of equipment. Hoping there's a better user friendly alternative out there.

Not just that but times when clips have vanished for no reason. Thankfully its never been when I have needed them
