I won't be using that, as I am constantly in and out of different cars.
So far, it seems quite good. I need to look at the footage from today as so far I've only been able to look at footage from the evening I fitted it.
I noticed that in the dark, or low light, you can't read number plates...
Hopefully in the daylight it's better.
Also noticed that all the recordings are broken down into 60 second recordings.
I expected that it would be one long recording for every journey... I was kind of hoping it would have been so I could have made some funky time lapse videos when driving through the mountains..

Also, think I'm going to get a 128gb card.
I do some weeks cover 1000 miles, so would be handy to be able to have enough storage to keep a record for a few weeks at a time.

Anyway, I'm glad I have it, gives a little peace of mind when sharing the roads with some of these questionable drivers about.
Good morning Phil,

Congratulations on choosing the Nextbase 512GW. Check what memory cards are compatible. I have several SD cards as some of my road journeys are 8-12 hours long and it’s useful having spare cards as backups.
