Next base 412 from Halfords. Has a little battery inside it for parking mode so will record any vehicle movements. Bluetooth to an App to set it up. Gone to a good home: 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE Buckingham Blue with Ivory and clear glass = "Rory"

I would avoid anything with Nexbase on it.

I’ve had a look at the reviews for the nexbase and they’re not good to be honest. Although it only seems the sensor thing when parked up is the issue. not Sure if I would even use that. |

I've got Nextbase 512 GW's in two vehicles and both have been trouble free. I initially had an issue with with card errors but it soon became clear I'd bought fake SD cards--theres alot about. Bought high quality replacements from a reputable source and all was fine. No hanging or other issues and just leave them to do their job. In the RR I have front and rear cameras. The rear camera shows as a picture in picture if required. Fitting a rear camera as well does reduce the quality, but it's still very good. Parking mode works fine, although as said, internal battery life isn't fantastic. |

To add to my comments the SD cards are all reputable makes bought from reputable sources. We have tried rotating the cards to no avail. The cards work fine in other devices so it cannot be the cards at fault. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6 |

My original SD cards worked ok in other devices too, however there are different classes and speed of card. I replaced with U3 speed Nextbase cards and have had no issues since. |

Company called Dash Witness based in Faringdon but will fit products anywhere I believe, installed my front and rear Blackvue cameras. I also have the Power Magic pro hardwired in for parking mode. Very good kit and company, talk to Emmett or Eric.

I appreciate what you are saying but all the cards in use are to Nextbase's spec's. The situation may just be tenable if Nextbase Customer Service knew what the word "service" actually meant. 2003 Range Rover Vogue TD6 |

Perhaps buy one high end card and see how you get on. I believe the minimum requirement is Class 10, but ideally U3. What class are you using at present ? |

Not too sure exactly what they are except that they are all to at least NB's spec's.

I’ve fitted a few of these to my cars and they work a treat. Buy a decent SD card though.
