A Rear Window camera is also available, which attaches to the rear window via a magnetic mount and adhesive fixture (so it doesn't fall off when you slam the boot door). Despite needing an irritatingly long wire trailing through the car (we clip ours into the headlining), we'd opt for this one because it films directly out of the rear window, rather than the cabin too. Although Garmin advertises a full 1440p resolution, we found the footage a little grainy at this res, but that’s only when you really punch in on the details. However, a wider 180-degree lens (as opposed to the 140-degrees on the Nextbase) captures far more out of the front windscreen and even to the left and right of the vehicle. We’ve said it before, but dash cams are now so good at automatically capturing crisp footage in the case of an accident that manufacturers are looking for new ways to attract customers. Throwing in a bunch of driving assistance features and additional emergency technology seem to be the flavour of the year. div>

The geocode system means drivers can precisely pinpoint a location even if they don't know where they are or don't know the postcode. The GPS alternative means drivers can be found easily even in remote locations. But you'll still need to make the phone call for help. For more serious incidents, there's also EmergencySOS, which works even in those areas where phone signal and internet connectivity are a problem. Previous generations of Nextbase dash cams have been massively frustrating to use, often failing to provide a stable connection to transfer still images and video between phone and camera, but things have improved. The set-up process is still a little fiddly and time-consuming, and the Wi-Fi connection between devices sometimes fails, but we managed to retrieve some imagery and footage after a few attempts. This is the same night capture (non-headlight) shown above but brightened somewhat to prove that the 622GW captures detail exceedingly well.

Finally, the unit is compatible with Nextbase’s optional range of rear view and cabin camera modules.

Tech Register provides the latest technology news and expert articles with its online platform. After getting his hands on the 622GW, it’s clear our latest leading model left a strong impression on the reviewer, who commented ‘The 622GW certainly lives up to its flagship status, both in price and features. If you want the absolute best, this is it. Unfortunately, Nextbase’s dash cam companion app doesn't feel quite as polished as the 622GW. While the interface is generally well designed, it can take a while for video thumbnails to appear and even longer for video clips to buffer.
