New Nextbase 322gw with rear window cam module.
https://www.nextbase.com/en-ie/dash-...22gw-dash-cam/

https://www.nextbase.com/en-ie/modul...r-view-camera/

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

One possibility if the same SD card is being used in both cameras?

During normal operation these types of camera record continuously to the
sd card and when the recording gets to the end of the card it starts at
the beginning overwriting the most historic data.

Until..... you have an accident or more likely the camera falls off the
screen or you jolt the car by driving into a pothole etc. This triggers
the cameras inbuilt accident detection mechanism which then writes
protects the last x minutes of recording on the sd card.

The next time the camera is used, or continues to be used, the normal
recording of video to the sd card takes place until it meets the
section/file which is write protected. At this point the recording will
stop and maybe the cause of your freeze.

On my older dash cam which did this the cure was a format of the sd card
to remove the write protected file. My dash cam manual recommends an
occasional reformat of the sd card.

Our dashcam (Transcend Drivepro 220) has two folders: one for the circular
writing of the last n hours, and another for protected files that are
triggered by sudden motion detection and which record 30 seconds before and
30 seconds after the trigger point (to give the lead up to and the aftermath
of the collision). The normal circular writing can only overwrite files in
its own folder; the ones in the protected folder accumulate and gradually
use up the SD card space.

Every few months I take the card out of the camera and manually delete any
files in the protected folder apart from ones we want to keep which I copy
to a computer.

There is also a red button on the camera so a passenger can trigger the
writing to the protected folder manually, separate from motion detection.



I would look at type/size of SD card. Our Transcend is happy with up to (I
think) 64 GB cards but not 128 or larger. 64 covers the last few hours
driving: I think we worked out that it would cover one return journey to
work for my wife, so if there was anything we wanted to examine that was
*not* in the protected folder, we needed to look at it that evening or else
it would be overwritten by the following day's journey to work. I bought a
128 GB card and found that the camera wrote fine to it for about an hour but
then it errored. It failed when it had used much less than the 64 GB of a
card that worked.

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.

Suggestion here is defective rear camera.

https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/thread...roblems.41322/

I would try to run the rear camera without the cabling if
possible, just to verify the camera works. It could be
that the cable is an issue. One person claims the freezing
happens if the long cable is connected, but there is no
rear camera plugged in at the far end.

It's a 'Which' best buy. Perhaps enough said?

I have these in all three vehicles and I think they are excellent.
