TTAC Giveaway: Nextbase Dash Cam

by Tim Healey

Published: July 26th, 2022

Hello there! It's time for another TTAC product giveaway!

This time we're going to be working with Nextbase to give away a dash cam.

That's right. If you're interested in keeping a record of what happens on the road, for whatever reason, Nextbase will send you, should you be picked, a 522GW camera plus a Rear Window Cam and SD Card.

Enter here!

The 522GW has built-in Alexa and SOS response and records in 1440p HD. It also has a polarizing lens that reduces glare.

There's more! A rotating bezel helps reduce glare. There's also a 3-inch HD IPS touchscreen that makes using the menu super easy.

Not only does the cam record in 1440p HD at 30 fps, it also has a 6G glass lens that helps it capture details such as street signs and license plate numbers. An SD card is recommended with this model, and it will be included. This camera is only compatible with Nextbase SD cards.

The emergency SOS function does more than just alert authorities to your location in the event of a crash -- it can save medical info like blood type, allergies, and medical history to help facilitate effective treatment while saving time.

An intelligent parking mode senses when your vehicle is bumped and starts recording automatically. Wi-Fi and an app allow you to download footage to your smartphone or tablet, and Bluetooth can be used to share crash footage directly to your smartphone (if properly equipped) automatically. Finally, 10hz GPS aided by Google Maps helps make sure speed and location data are accurate.

Enter to win today! The contest closes Friday, August 5th, and we will announce the winner shortly after.

Enter here!

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Hey Tim, what's the deal with old articles showing up after a current one? Read Tonn's article on the Passat, scrolled down and the next one was an article from June 8th. Same thing happened earlier - read the Tesla article, scrolled down and it was an article Murilee wrote from June 5th. Is it a browser issue? I'm signed in and all that. Thanks!

  There's gold in the old articles, both writers/editors and commenters, legendary you might even say. Why not go wayback?

  DenverMike, funny you grabbed that link. Two of the lines listed under "And none of this:" is "Puff pieces on luxury cars" and "Repackaged PR-generated content". Judging by some of the articles lately it looks like there's no longer a prohibition against this kind of content.

Analoggrotto More useless articles.
Spamvw Did clears to my '02 Jetta front markers in '02. Had to change the lamps to Amber. Looked a lot better on the grey wagon.I'm guessing smoked is illegal as it won't reflect anymore. But don't say anything about my E-codes, and I won't say anything about your smoked markers.
Theflyersfan OK, I'm going to stretch the words "positive change" to the breaking point here, but there might be some positive change going on with the beaver grille here. This picture was at Car and Driver. You'll notice that the grille now dives into a larger lower air intake instead of really standing out in a sea of plastic. In darker colors like this blue, it somewhat conceals the absolute obscene amount of real estate this unneeded monstrosity of a failed styling attempt takes up. The Euro front plate might be hiding some sins as well. You be the judge.
Theflyersfan I know given the body style they'll sell dozens, but for those of us who grew up wanting a nice Prelude Si with 4WS but our student budgets said no way, it'd be interesting to see if Honda can persuade GenX-ers to open their wallets for one. Civic Type-R powertrain in a coupe body style? Mild hybrid if they have to? The holy grail will still be if Honda gives the ultimate middle finger towards all things EV and hybrid, hides a few engineers in the basement away from spy cameras and leaks, comes up with a limited run of 9,000 rpm engines and gives us the last gasp of the S2000 once again. A send off to remind us of when once they screamed before everything sounds like a whirring appliance.
