Nextbase iQ 2K Rear Window Camera for iQ 1K, 2K and 4K Dash Cams

So, fitted front camera relatively easy, rear camera, not so much. Aside from it being more difficult to hard wire then the front, but all cameras have that issue anyway, when trying to get the app to detect it, not a sausage. Repeatedly did the steps it asked to do, bear in mind if wired everything in so removing and unplugging and back and forth was a royal pain in the back side. I got in to there live chat support and to be honest, they were really good and helped me to get it working. It needed a firmware update, this required putting a file they sent me in to the SD card and have the devices install the firmware from a cold start. Everything is working and despite that, I would recommend. Hopefully they will make it easier in the future as they suggested they could fix it remotely if that didn't work. Which it did work so all's good 👍

Added this to the front camera. Both are disappointing they either don’t work or no better than dash cams at a quarter of the price. There customer service is a joke to nonexistent I will never buy a Nextbase again

Dashcam itself is 5 stars. However uploading is a nightmare. You have to take the card out and I dont understand why, when parked at your house, these videos can't be automatically saved to a cloud. Ive queried this. I'm paying £9.99 for the full security package, if I need footage, I want to be able to access it instantly. Every feature is amazing , apart from that one thing.

After firmware update the rear camera works as expected, one star dropped as takes ages to update and there are no real instructions on the app.

Faulty camera not buy, Nextbase services are crap

purchased the Nextbase IQ 4K model and the rear cam, cost me about £600 British pounds. Front camera itself needs improving and is still bit iffy but the rear cam only works after pressing the soft reset button on the camera and then works for that drive, as soon as you stop driving eg go shopping or go home and then the next time you go to drive if you check the IQ app on live view it will say no rear cam detected. so you have to reset it again. I've heard many other people having this issue and was fixed after an update but I got mine less then a week ago and not working for me as expected so I guess I'm stuck waiting for nextbase to release an update again?.. IMO this product is still in testing as the AI feature and Guardian mode are in future updates and not available so you spend all that money and not even all the features are available yet. anyone looking to buy just wait a few more months they should release a full version ( software update) and fix all the bugs atm.

total Garbage......added to the front matching 4k cam..... both cams constantly lose connection!......stopped the £10 monthly subscription (?) and now i get zilt....nothing??..... cost me near £700 ?.....thought i must be buying the best?....nope .....total rip off!!!!. Dont buy ....front or rear!!!!!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THESE GARBAGE CAMERAS! THEY ARE THE WORST PRODUCT I'VE EVER BOUGHT IN MY 60 YEARS OF LIFE! THE REAR CAMERA NEVER WORKS AND THE FRONT CAMERA FLASHES A PARKING EVENT ALL DAY WHILE I'M DRIVING. SOMEONE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF MY TRUCK, AND OF COURSE THESE UNRELIABLE CAMERAS CAPTURED NOTHING. AFTER I PURCHASE A NEW REDTIGER SYSTEM OR SOMETHING ELSE, I'LL ADD THIS GARBAGE CAMERA TO MY OLD ASS PICKUP TRUCK. SPENT A NICE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON THESE CAMERAS AND I'M HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED!!! SFTER THE CAMERA FLASHES A PARKING EVENT ALL DAY THEN THE FUSE BLOWS OUT! i HAVE GONE THROUGH 8 FUSES SINCE BUYING THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE! BOUGHT 30 FUSES!!!!

Dash cam & rear window are a must. The Nextbase iQ 2k is a top dash cam that delivers top technology and user experience . Its 2K resolution records stunningly clear footage, even in low-light conditions. The built-in GPS provides accurate location data, and the emergency SOS feature offers peace of mind. The intuitive interface makes it a breeze to use, and the compact design ensures a seamless fit in any vehicle. With the "always connected" LTE feature, I can get updates on my car at all times or if curious remotely pop-in to see what is going on around the car. Living in NYC, I think this is potentially going to save my car from the everyday hit and runs and definitely allow me to catch anyone trying to break into the car! If you're looking for a reliable and feature-packed dash cam, the Nextbase iQ 2k is an excellent choice. The Nextbase Rear Window Camera is a fantastic addition to any vehicle. Its high-quality footage and easy installation make it a no-brainer. The wide-angle lens provides excellent rear-view visibility, and the night vision feature ensures clear images even in low-light conditions. If you're looking to enhance your vehicle's (and passengers) safety and security, this rear-view camera is a top-notch choice.

The Nextbase IQ-2K and this rear camera are absolutely, bar none, the single worst purchases I have ever made. This camera has been one disappointing failure after another. Starting with the first unit bricking during initialization, getting stuck in an endless initialization loop. It got worse when I was in an accident and instead of saving the impact footage, the camera seems to have preserve only the low quality thumbnail copy. Every time I try to download the from the cloud, I get an endless, insurmountable series of errors that keep me from obtaining the HQ footage. All of that was months ago! Since then, I've enjoyed the full gamut of random reboots; random lost footage; random inability to remotely access the camera; random inability to view footage or retrieve footage from the cloud; a camera that cannot function when the outdoor ambient temperature exceeds 85 degrees (allegedly this is to protect the camera from over heating - which means that from mid spring to early fall in California, the camera is completely useless and will shut down daily without fail and will not even restart when the temps cool back down, making it necessary for me to manually pull the plug daily to force a reboot -JOY!); a rear camera that frequently is unavailable or otherwise inoperable; and so, so, so much aggravation! The icing on the cake that tonight, I witnessed a gnarly accident. The kind that it happen so fast, that the event was so kinetic, that I mentally cannot say for sure what it is that I saw happen. All I know is on party landed on their roof after jumping a median and another vehicle had some major quarter panel damage. I very much looked forward to reviewing that footage this evening. But as has been my experience with this POS, the 30 seconds roughly before the accident recorded and was recoverable from the SD card, but the actual accident and moment of impact in the next 30 second segment took a poop and somehow the file corrupted. You can see the distinct discrepancy in the file sizes in one of my phots. This was the straw the broke the camelback moment so to speak and I am literally channeling Lewis Black Back in Black levels of rage into this review. This is my first and only Nextbase product I will own. Tomorrow, I break out the ball ping hammer and blow torch and see what the insides of this stupid camera look like.

Very simple and straight forward to install. Also purchased the front cam and they work perfectly together. Picture is high quality. Love the ability to get notifications on my phone if movement is detected around my car. Our neighborhood has experienced some car break ins recently, and now I have piece of mind I will be able to act quickly if anything happens as well as get a clear image of anyone around my car. Worth every penny!

Super simple install - did it myself. Image clarity is superb compared to my previous dash cam system as well. The parking feature is really cool - kind of like the Tesla cams that show people or aother vehicles near your car - and I feel like that could come in handy down the road. I'd recommend it and I'm even considering getting another one for my other car!
