Default dashcam problems

When the rear module is plugged in the camera freezes. Tried all different start up procedures but no difference.
Back to shop where they gave me a new rear camera module to try out but same problem. They didn't have a new camera so I just took a refund.

Has anyone any experience of this model of Nextbase dash cam or any experience of Nextbase dash cams ? I'm undecided about getting another one, especially online, as I don't need this grief, but the rear camera module on this makes installation very easy as it is clipped to the side of the camera itself so no dragging wires through the car


The rear view camera has a USB connector or what looks
like one, and it seems to plug into the side of the
screen portion.

Did you plug in the camera "hot", while the screen was
running on the screen portion ?

Have you tried turning off the screen portion, plugging
in the rearview camera "cold", then switching on the
main screen, so that the unit can boot the firmware
with the item attached ?

It could be a power related problem. Perhaps as
the driver is configuring the rear view camera, the
camera draws too much power and annoys the main unit.

"This Nextbase Dash Cam senses power supplied to the
cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle
ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically."

"LEDs

Top: Blue

- The Blue LED will be on while the Dash Cam is charging.
It will turn off when charging is complete,
even if the Dash Cam is still plugged in.

Bottom: Red

The Red LED is permanently on while the Dash Cam is active.
It will flash while recording."

"Connect car power cable

Connect the supplied car power cable to the Dash Cam Mounts USB port.
Do NOT connect the power cable to the USB port on the Dash Cam."

"For best recording use a branded class 10 type (48MB/s), U3,
or UHS type 1 micro SD card of 8 to 128GB recommended size."

Well, that's a lot better than the SD in my camera.
