The camera that mounts to the main camera is a cabin camera, for recording all that happens in the cabin, it is not a rear view camera for catching what happens outside behind the vehicle, they are three cameras for three different jobs and view points.
Yes
You are not correct. They offer two inside cameras, inside the cabin and a telephoto one.
Would like to have seen how you went about running the wire through the headliner for concealment.
Seriously everything I want to do or have done to my AT4, you’ve done. It’s awesome and I appreciate being able to see what you’ve learned before I’ve done mine in some cases. Keep it up.
Thanks Nick! I have more plans coming too! Smash the 👍🏼 button on the vids you enjoy as it helps me make more!
Nice! Thank you for trying both of these rear facing cameras. That helped me out allot! I didn't know the resolution would decrease if I bought a 2,3,4 or 522 camera so thank you for that too!
No problem! Thanks Monica, it is very common for dash cameras to do this when you connect a second camera feed.
Thanks! Clean installation. This will help me get it installed in my Silverado. I do think I'll get the Cabin View dash cam instead of the Rear View. The view from that is pretty narrow. Seeing this helped me decide.
Nice! I am glad it helped you out
I watched a lot of these dash cam videos. Definitely the best one I have watched on the install side.
Thank you so much for this video. I was kind of scared buying the front and rear combo because it sounded so difficult to wire up and take the headliner off the car to get the wires to the back of the car but you showed how to do it. Very thorough explanation thank you!
Awesome! It is why I make these videos
I just purchased the 622GW with the rear window mount camera. I intend to install the rear window mount camera on my sliding rear window by routing the cable to the camera from the side the window slides to. I plan to have the cable outside the liner enough so that I can open the sliding windows and have the cable droop. When I close the window it should pull tight. I mainly open the sliding window to blow the hot air out when I first use my F250. Pretty much stays closed otherwise.
Could work. I was thinking the movement of the cable from the glass could cause the camera to swivel in the magnetic cradle.
Good review, but how does the rear camera get power? Are there contact points on the base that the ball magnetically attaches on? No one seems to explain that. I like that you showed how the front camera gets power. You're the only person that actually explains it.
Thanks, the rear camera gets power over the single USB cable. The rear camera connects to its mount magnetically.
This is the fifth or sixth vid I've watched on the Nextbase. I wish I'd watched it first as it is easily the best. Thank you.
Thanks Brian. Dashcam videos are tricky to make. I have made a few
I could of sworn the fuses on the passenger side panel are the 2 prong( i could be wrong ) and there is a fuse for the cigarette lighter adapter and you can leave it like it is and be powered 24/7 or you can move it over a notch and it only work when the truck is on
I was waiting for the running of the wire through the headliner 😢 great video though, thank you
What a Great Dash Arrangement !! Looks really sophisticated and high end quality !!!- its so much better than the junk mickey mouse dash arrangements in UK Vehicles
Great video, after watching I started to run the power from the camera end, like you tucking the led box in a convenient space then I was able to cut off all the excess once I reached the supply point rather than stuff excess cable behind the dash. If I hadn't watched this I would have done the same as you and started where picking the power up. Also helped my choose which rear view go go for.
Appreciate the video!!! I also have a truck and was worried the rear window camera would result in a weird angle due to the flat rear window on a truck but it does look good.
Glad it helped
I really like the wiring idea you had here. I’m gonna try to do it too this week! Thanks
What about mounting that 3rd camera to the bumper near the license plate? I have a late model Silverado and just bought a dual dashcam setup. Didnt think about putting on the glass at the rear of the cabin. Thats much simpler than having to run the wire through the floorboard. The downside is limited view below the tailgate, eg. when someone is pulled up right on your bumper at a stop light or is tailgating you on the highway. Actually, after re-watching the last part of this video again, I think putting my rear camera INSIDE the cab, just as you have done will work just fine, with the added benefit of everything being inside the cab.
I am with you. Personal experience only - For my climate I found external cameras like the ones for dash cams aren’t reliable in -40°C/-40°F conditions.
You rock! I just bought a camera for my AT4 and was wondering just how to go about installing it. Thanks for the lesson!
No worries man! I have a recent install with a different camera on our 2022 Escalade too
Nice install! Poke and wrap over wire tap for me though. Those can be hit or miss, and when they hit, it still cuts the strands of the wire your tapping. I dislike that greatly. Anyway, I have 300ah of battery on board, so I'll wire to a constant source for 24/7 monitoring.
Your review video helped make my decision on the 622gw, thank you for that video, and images. That's what sold me. Don't need a camera if you can't read the plates.
Time to have a witness for the inevitable it seems. Roads are crazy out there these days.
Glad it helped you out
That screen is huge to have on your windshield in your field of vision. It’s the size of a pocket camera from the early 2000’s. There are others with just as good of resolution with a much, MUCH smaller screen. Does that get in your way or bother you at all?
You might be surprised, the placement is not restricting at all. The problem with producing a video is your seeing the camera’s perspective and not necessarily the driver’s. I am very picky and put a tremendous amount of thought on where I wanted it. Where it is works in my opinion. It is only 3” diagonal. The video probably does make it look like a Canon A60 point & shoot 😂. Thanks for watching
I just picked up my 2022 AT4 last week.
You post great content. Thanks!
Congrats! Hope the vids are helpful
@@Donslife your channel is so great. Thank you! I don’t know what mod to do first? Maybe tint or maybe a tonneau cover, or the one car stereo thing, or a dash cam? Too many choices. lol.
Missing the cabin view camera, I would have thought that'd be better for a truck. Don't have to look far out to the back and get somewhat of a side view too (if someone breaks in).
Nice comparison video.
Question for you - is there a way in which we can tap into the third brake light camera used for LCD rearview mirror of the GMC’s with technology package?
It would likely be less obstructed and reduce the number of accessories attached to the inside of the window. Maybe one of the aftermarket dash-cam companies can look into a kit that allows us to tie into and use the existing cameras and simply record these signals for our record.
It crossed my mind however there would probably need to be a inline conversion module to adapt the signal and adjust the resolution/aspect. I find it highly unlikely that an aftermarket company would make it in the near future. Be really cool though and I am okay with being wrong on this assumption
I have been thinking the exact same thing.
Once I get the "Metal Gear Solid" alert sound at the start, this guy gets the thumbs up. I don't even care about the rest of the video anymore!
In seriousness, would have been nice to know how "goofy" it looked in the corner. I'm just curious how obtrusive that camera is in your rear view mirror. So that would have been useful.
But thanks. Good to watch.
😊 the mirror screen is a nice add on and not obtrusive at all. I find I use it in very specific situations, usually hauling cargo or towing to check on things. Otherwise when not on, it looks like a standard mirror, which is 95% of the time
Cigar lighters are a great 10 amp. Circuit breaker. Already at the center dash.
Yes, I did a dash cam install about a year before with that method, I changed it up
Thank you so much for the detail and brilliant way to tap into the power source! I just installed mine and follow yoyr video step-by-step! It was really helpful. Thank you so much for making such wonderful vidoes. Please continue to make great videos :)
Thank you sir. I am happy you liked it.
Hey Don, your video was very detailed and answers my question whether both rear camera can be installed at the same time. Thank you buddy and love the metal gear solid reference.. God bless mate.
Glad you liked it
I'm actually considering the 522gw since it's only $250. I think 1440p front should be sufficient although it reduces the rear resolution to 720p. What do you think? Should I get the 622gw instead? It's for a 2017 lexus rx350.
Also, have you tried using a non Nextbase SD card? Their website warns of recording errors if we don't use their brand cards. Thanks again.
A trick I use if you only have suction cups. (they usually fail in the summer heat). I put a small dot of clear silicone inside the suction cup then mount to the glass. After it dries mine have not gone anywhere even with my cellphone attached.
I may have to try that! Good share!
After hardwiring into the cigarette lighter, can you still use it? Let’s say for like phone a phone charger?
Yes as long as you don’t exceed the amp draw, but that wouldn’t happen with a phone charger
Great video (as always)... 2 questions please. 1) Did you run the rear camera wire along the driver's side headliner or through the middle? If the latter, how? 2.) What kind/size of wire taps are needed? Thanks again for the detailed video!
Hi! I ran the wire along the driver’s side headliner. Here is the Amazon description: Gebildet 4pcs 12V 24V Add-a-Circuit Micro 2 Fuse Tap, Piggy Back Blade Fuse Holder with Wire Harness, 6 pcs Micro 2 Fuse (5A 10A 15A) and Fuse Puller
@@Donslife Perfect. Thanks again. Looking forward to the next video!
about to pull the trigger and get this dashcam. do you still recommend this as the best one to buy?
I like it and still use the 522GW in another vehicle. I will continue to review others too
@@Donslife thanks so much, love your vids. i went ahead and picked up the 622 and all the extra accessories. so far i really like it
thank you for these very useful explanations for my installation. a visitor from France 😉
You are welcome!
Good call on mounting the rear on the Drivers Side, where the back glass doesn’t leak. 😂
🤦🏻♂️
Mine leaks the driver side lol
If you want to you can switch the fuse for the cigarette lighter so it shuts off when the truck shuts off
I just learned that too!
The wire will "...go through the head liner, which is not that interesting so I'll do it off camera..."
Learning how to route through the head liner is becoming the most difficult part if my installation. The part you didn't record is the segment of most value. :(
Just peel back the weatherstripping, tuck in the wire and press the weatherstripping back on.
@@Donslife that makes sense on the doors (the black rubber part) but how do you do that on the ceiling panels? The rubber weather stripping does not exist for the full span from my dashboard to the rear window of a long body Toyota Highlander.
I don’t have a Toyota Hylander but if it is anything like the last two generations of Cadillac Escalades, you can feed the wire though and tuck it up the edge with your fingers. I am sorry but I only had the one vehicle to demonstrate the camera
@@Donslife I'm trying to figure out how to do that across a 30 inch blind span between the rear hatch and the 2nd row doors. It's not looking very promising, sadly.
Undo the weatherstripping around the rear wind hatch and the headliner should be a little more accessible
Man THANKS for this detailed review i was actually comparing this with Rexing your review just cut it all.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
11:21 the camera falls in the background. Good video might pick one up for my AT4.
Ya I would suggest the adhesive for the final mounting position.
@@Donslife Yes, the suction cup also fails & the camera will fall in high summertime heat when the truck interior is super-hot.
The smaller fuses are on the passenger side so u can use fuse tap
BINGO. LOL
So you don’t need the blue taps that he used??
@@devinodom2468 that’s correct
Where can I find/buy the Nextbase suction mount in the UK???
Have you looked on Amazon Uk?
Thanks, I did it just like that.
Big thanks man for explaining how it's supposed to work for the three of them, appreciate your time, one question if you don't mind,is it doing good in low light recording?
No problem. I would say it does well in street-lit and headlight-illuminated conditions.
Awesome! great instructional video and comparison. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Just picked up one for my AT4 HD.
The image stabilization is solid
Nice video. But you didn’t need to cut any wire if you’re using the wiretaps.
Yes, just make sure to get the right ones. Decide on which fuse you are tapping since there are various sizes.
Nice and detailed video sir but it’s a shame you can’t use this cam as 3 channel at same, if you use it as 2 channel you reckon you can set up a rear window separately or just go with something that has 3 Chanel as cabin one is important in my case for ride share
Cheers
I watched a pro shop guy do one and he starts at the camera then runs it downward, that way all the extra wire is hid near your power source.
So I have a question, why come you didn't get an add-a-tap fuse to tap into that side fuse panel, I have a 2023 Chevy Duramax 3500 and I'm trying to install a dash cam, are their any hot fuse on the side fuse panel?
Is there a reason you didn't tap into the fuse box? Did your cigarette lighter still work after you tapped into it?
No special reason other than I wanted to show my audience alternative installation options. I have done several videos with fuse tap videos for radar detectors, dash cams and more. I can use my cigarette lighter socket as normal. A dash cam uses very little power.
Great video. Now if I could only get you to install mine!
Glad I could help!
How did you get your wires to fish through from the cigarette lighter to the glove box
There are tabs you can gently bend that let you open the glove box even further. Then from there you have better access
Great video Don, I wanted to ask you which dash cam you liked more this Nextbase or the Rexing v5 ?
Nextbase 522 or 622
Is the video monitor always on when your driving? It seems like that is a distraction?
Yes but you can shut it off too. Honestly I forget it’s there based on where I mounted it
Thanks
How's it doing now? Just picked up 222xr. I don't like that you can't use both at the same time!
I am still using what I installed in the video and they’re doing great
The rear camera wire you said was not interesting to watch. Well I would have been interested. Was it easy? Did you run it just inside the weather stripping? I was thinking of getting the same camera and I have almost the same truck.
Thanks!
Sorry it was very easy to just stick to the edges of the headliner. If you watch this video I lower most of the headliner: czcams.com/video/-jZGRPj2g5g/video.html
@@Donslife thanks! I will watch it.
Take care.
Nice..been looking for a similar setup!
Glad I could help
good video. Helped me. Thanks mate.
No problem 👍
Did a fuse tap into my heated steering wheel for accessory power, and the garage door opener for constant power.
Good idea. Running good as is for now. This Dash Cam has a sleep mode and doesn’t draw power in that mode. Or if it does, it’s not substantial.
@@Donslife I have a BlackVue setup with parking mode. Power magic pro I can turn on or off if I decide I want parking mode. Otherwise it fires up when I start the truck. I did the rear camera in the same spot due to the sliding window
Question : can you view from the sd card to the screen instead of taking out to view on pc ? Any 1 no thanks, plus you can leave in car to record incase of a bump , problem with that would get nicked then you can not view anything, think that is useless
Hi very Good video, would you rather recommend the rear window camera or the rear view camera?
Greetings
I like the rear window one for this truck. I don’t need to record anything in the cab
@@Donslife i have an Renault Twingo, which one do you prefer mate
I'd like to know how you got it through the headliner
My 622 Camera losses the availability to record in 4k when i attach the module
Correct. They all do because it is processing two signals simultaneously
I regrettably bought the module camera. It videos me and everyone inside vehicle. My license says corrective lenses. I don’t need to be recorded not wearing them on camera. Insurance companies are always looking for a reason not to pay. Even if it wasn’t my fault. I’m going with cables and rear attachment thank You.
I never thought about the corrective lenses angle
@@Donslife yeah if there’s a way to reset the blame. They’ll find it
Awesome video man! Could you tell me where to buy those clips to unite the cables that are moisture resistant?
Here I got mine at Canadian Tire, but Amazon would be an option
Thank you.
You're welcome!
On the application from my phone why can’t I see the rear camera only front camera I’ve got mine hard wired. What did I do wrong.
got any videos of you driving around with this?
Hey Don GR8 VIDEO! Quick question that dash cam how did it hold up with the truck off on parking mode through out the night?
Great video. I need to know how you ran the wire through the headliner without breaking it
Just pull off the weather stripping around the door openings and that will give you enough access to tuck the wires
Thank you
You're welcome
Is it okay to install the Dash cam on the driver's side? Is it allowed here in Canada? Because i try to put it on the passenger side, but the rear camera view is not great. I have Nissan Rogue 2023, by the way.
Hi Don, I have a question on you please: if you connect to 622 the rear camera (I mean the one on rear window), will the front camera still run on 60 or 120 fps? (both cameras on Full HD ofcourse)
What brand of wire taps do you use? I will be installing my 622 this week in my 2020 1500 Denali
Nothing special. Just an Amazon find if I recall
@@Donslife Thank you. The brands are pretty much all the same.
Using your video as my guidance, I finished the install on my '20 1500 Denali. It took me about a half hour with most of the time spent on running the cable in the headliner. I was able to find an unused constant power 20A circuit using a 2 prong fuse located at the F5 position on the passenger side fuse box. I utilized the umbilical that was included within the Nextbase wiring harness. This saved me from tapping into the cigar (not a ciggy person) lighter. A big thanks for giving me the guidance on how to install my Nextbase 622.
great video ... keeping it simple and clean. I noticed maybe a travel trailer near by ... not sure if its yours, but do have a 25 ft trailer and was thinking what a great place for second camera. in your opinion would you be able to extend second camera wire to reach back there? thank you.
Good question, but I think it could be problematic running the signal wire that far. Plus you’d need to splice in an extension. For my 30ft trailer I would look at a wireless transmission option to a separate screen. Or add trailer cam option to my truck (which it has a provision for)
Does anyone know the best camera for front/rear/and interior that also has motion/impact features to help for survaillance during parked condition? Also, is there a camera that will notify you by phone when it's detected tampering of vehicle? What happens to video if the camera is stolen?
I was just wondering why if you live in Canada, I do to, do you show the Amazon links for the US. Do you buy all your products there.
Fair question, my audience is far larger in the US and many of these items aren’t available on Canadian Amazon.
I’ve had this probably were my back camera has pink tint to the video, but it’s only the back camera never the front. I’ve gotten a new camera and it still does the same thing. Any ideas what I could do?
Weird. Is your back window factory tinted? Maybe it filters certain colors in the visible light spectrum? Mine is factory tinted and just looks a tad darker but not a pinkish hue.
@@Donslife yea it is tinted, might be the problem. Because everyone in my family got one and it seems I’m on the only one with this problem. Thanks for the help doe
Which one do you prefer the back camera installed on jour window or the one you have the put in the dashcam. Because I drive a cabrio I need to make sure that is I choose the back cam on the window shield that I need something where I can put in on thighs.
Nice video on the Dash cam, can you monitor the Dash cam from your phone when you park and walk away? Or just when your in the vehicle??
You can but need to be within the WIFI hotspot the dash cam makes. But I think you pretty much need to be in the vehicle
Thanks for the info, keep up the good work..
Damm I wanted to see how you went threw the headliner,did you even make a video for that.
Just pull back the rubber weatherstripping around the tops of the doors and tuck in the wires about 1/2”. Then press the weatherstripping back on. Sorry I made the video more generic and intended it not to be AT4 specific. You can email me or message me on Instagram if you want some pictures of where my wires go in the headliner.
There is a Thinkware Q800 with rear camera I installed on our 2022 Escalade. The video is in the Cadillac Escalade playlist

Did the suction-cup attachment come with your 622 or was that an accessory purchase? I don't see a suction cup in my 622, just the sticky attachment.
Nextbase offers it as a separate accessory
@@Donslife Thanks!
Having a tough time fishing the wire through to the glove box, I’ve even tried removing the glove box completely and I just don’t see how it’s going through.. any tips?
I’m trying to remember how tight the cavity is behind the glove box. Maybe use a stiff wire with the wire you’re running taped to it and chase it though?
Can specify the wiretap details like any specific brand or type, it will be very helpful. Also let me know if it is available online. Thanks in advance
Here are the ones I ordered in Canada (Amazon.ca). Pretty sure they are the same on Amazon.com too:
amzn.to/3mAyVED
Just an fyi if you tap into the fuses on the right side panel in the Sierra you don't need to tap the wires. The fuses on that side are two prong, not three. the ones on the left side are three.
Can you tell me what suction mount was used in your application?
I found mine at BestBuy in Canada. Here is a link for Amazon Canada. Not sure where you live. www.amazon.ca/Nextbase-Click-Mount-322GW-422GW/dp/B07QDMLMJH/ref=asc_df_B07QDMLMJH/?tag=googlemobshop-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459552223627&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16570266086512346490&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9001274&hvtargid=pla-779477985026&psc=1
Thank you very informative
Happy to help!
Hey I have a question for you, I am looking into getting this camera the 322GW with the rear camera that clips into it would they both record at same time?
Yes it will simultaneously record two files. One for each camera. Make sure you buy the recommended memory card ‘U3’ spec or you could run into problems. The cards have to be fast enough to record the data. Thanks for watching the video!
@@Donslife thank you, i am not sure where to get the SD cards, I found one at the place I am looking at buying it is 32GB will that be okay? Can I move and clear the clips each day or every couple days onto my laptop?
32 for that camera is fine. It saves the files you need based on a button push or if it senses a harsh movement and puts them into a folder until you move or delete them. All of the other files with no action get overwritten automatically unless you download them. A 32 GB card will last quite awhile (days) with that cam. Unless you drive for 4+ hrs straight every day. BestBuy will have cards but here is the actual specs from the nextbase website:
www.nextbase.com/en-ca/accessories/32gb-u3-microsd-card/
@@Donslife awesome thanks, I’m in Australia I think this brand is new to us I only seem to find the card with a case for the dash cam, don’t know if there is other brands that are compatible I suppose not?
There are other compatible brands. Sandisk, Lexar, for example. Just look for the ‘U3’ logo and has at least these speeds: Up to 100MB/s read speed Up to 60 MB/s write speed
Awesome video!
Happy you enjoyed it
Hi what is more better in your opinion?
As I have the rear camera that attaches to the rear windshield. I’ve tried the cabin view camera but it’s not good if you have passengers in the back.
I like the rear window one better. If I was an uber driver or taxi, than the inside might be more appealing
Is the camera over heating / screen freezing? There are a lot of bad reviews on Amazon.
It's not called a cigarette adapter. It's actually called an automobile auxiliary power outlet
Yes! 😂 I am old school I guess but also….The 12V socket, also known variously as a car cigarette lighter or 12V auxiliary power outlet, is the primary method by which power is delivered to portable electronics in cars, trucks, recreational vehicles, boats, and in a handful of other contexts.
If I upgrade from a Nextbase 412GW are the 622GW connectors the same for the wiring?
Yes 👍🏼
I assume that the original mini usb connection to the dash cam itself/gps magnetic mount is now obsolete if you using the rear mounted 3m sticky version as it looks like a different connector like some sort of mini hdmi port or something
Not sure I understand the comment fully. The mini usb is built into the mount for the front camera. The front camera connects to the mount magnetically. The side of the camera has a mini HDMI that runs power to any of the compatible auxiliary cameras and receives their signal in return. The camera records both feeds simultaneously and saves 2 files to the card in 1-3minute increments.
@@Donslife so I mean you still have to use the mini usb hardwired lead that would plug into the side of the magnetic gps module & then the rear camera 6.5 meter mini hdmi lead that plugs into the side of the dash cam itself
Can you run all three cameras at the same time
Just two (total) with the cameras shared in this video
For the main unit, could you have used the adhesive mount and stuck this on the dash instead of the windshield?
You can stick it to any area you want as long as the surface is smooth enough, clean and you can get the right position for the camera's view.
Why would you do that. They say the unit should not exceed 120°F. If you mount it on the Dash it will cook in the sun. I guess he should’ve mentioned it but I don’t see the practical use in doing that.
Works with limo tint 3% on the back camara?
It would be darker. Probably too dark at night
My rear camera isn’t displaying when I plug it in like you any ideas? Same rear camera nextbase small round one? No power or display on the front cam screen but the front cam is definitely working? What’s going on these are brand new shouldn’t be any issues?
I have had 3 but have never had power up issues. I would contact nextbase support
Where can i find OEM wrap color for my 2015 Escalade pearl white? I wanna hide the bumper scratches without repainting it … thanks 👍
Lots of wrap manufacturers will sell samples for cheap for you to compare to your paint. I don’t know of anyone that makes OEM paint matched Vinyl. Some brands to maybe look at are Avery, Vvivid, Hexis, 3M
I have a gmc at4 without the front camera package is there anyway I can use that rear camera and put it onto the grill to see the front of the truck?
Unfortunately I don’t think so only because the auxiliary camera probably isn’t designed for use outside of the cabin.
@@Donslife any solutions yo think i can do to set up a front facing camera into the gmc dashboard screen?
Sorry for the late reply. There might me an aftermarket solution that lets you connect to one of the camera inputs on the factory screen, but I am not aware of a compony doing this for the newer ones. 2013-2018 there is more of a market for that. You may have to wait unfortunately.
Couple questions. Is the app decent? Also do you think the camera quality would still be good on limo tint in the rear?
Hi Mitchell. The app is okay, not amazing or anything. Honestly I tend to pop the card out and download right the footage I may want that way. Might be okay during daylight for the rear tint bit suffer a little at night. My factory rear tint seems okay at night but there are some street lights too around me driveway
@@Donslife Thank you!
