- A side by side comparison of the Nextbase 622-GW and the Nextbase 522-GW with side by side footage to compare.
Here is some 4k footage from the Nextbase 622 - • Does a red light now m... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Here is some 4k footage from the Nextbase 622 - czcams.com/video/vKw84TjNk8M/video.html
Most who use the 522 will have realised that 1080p @ 60fps is the way to go for the best image quality, as those extra frames make all the difference to the footage. For me the upgrade to 622 here isn't actually to use the 4K @ 30 but instead to move to 2K @ 60fps for the additional clarity, without sacrificing the frame rate. Ideally we all want 4k @ 60fps but maybe in the next one! - Thanks for the review.
2K @ 60FPS is NOT available on 622GW
@@ptbuber5027 Ah thats a shame, interesting that you just replied to this after i posted a year ago, im actually looking to upgrade as the battery in my 522 is no longer holding charge.
I am using Firmware R10.5
@@M_E_T_R_O__9 the good news is 1440@60FPS is available, but make sure both image stabilization and Extreme weather are both turned OFF as shown on page 25 of the manual.
@@ptbuber5027 thanks :)
I'd like to see 622's 1080 @ 60fps next to the 522. There is a stark difference between the 622's 4K and the lower res on the 522.
Very disappointed in the 622 so far, but I don't plan to use 4K anyway, at least for now. Really thought 4K would be much better. It's just the reverse, and the resolution difference isn't that great. It helps on barely legible text but not a lot.
I"ve heard that on 4K mode the unit gets very hot, are you experiencing this as well?
Thank you for this video. I use on my car 522gw+rear camera. I’m very happy with this, on your video 522 is better on colors but 622 is better on resolution. Great job man
I also have the rear cam, its a nice piece of kit.
I do a fair amount of video recording as as good as 4K is, it does take up a stack of memory. I ALWAYS choose 1080p at 60fps...always excellent smooth video, so yes, lets see 622 1080p @60fps!
Glad I purchased the 522 for $89.00 on eBay a few months ago. Great deal for the price.
Great video review, well explained. Best review I have seen of a dashcam including your side by side comparison with 522-GW. Have you tried using the phone app with it? Do you leave your camera in your car or take it with you? It's a shame it isn't a bit more stealthy/discreet, I'm going to get one and don't want to leave it on display, so removing it everyday seems like a hassle.
Thanks for your comment! I do use the app occasionally, but not very often, it takes a long time to download footage and its stored in the app, so if you was to want to upload it to youtube for example you need to connect it to a PC, to get around this I use an app on my phone that captured the screen as I stream the footage form the camera as appose to download it. I do leave the camera in the car and have done with the camera I have had over the last 10 years, to date ive been lucky and nothing has happened. One thing i prefer about the 522 is that it is a little more discreet than the 622.
The 522 is quad HD?
Hi thanks for uploading this comparison video.
To install this via hardwire kit how long does it take to roughly set up?
Not long at all, 30-45mins, the difficulty is identifying the correct fuse to go off.
@@SouthWalesDashCams that’s not too bad, and thank you for getting back to me I appreciate it buddy 👍🏼
well..i got the gw522 and can tell, the image is much better then here shown. i guess the video compression from YT is a way to hard.
I do see a fisheye effect but at least it is not horrible like some action cameras have it. I wonder though if the 622 has a dewarp feature. I know some action cameras have it since the fisheye is only a side effect of having a wide angle lens. I know that if they could easily design a camera not to have that effect they would. It is just lens distortion really.
When in parking mode does the lcd screen also come on at the same time as recording when motion detected.
Dont know if it comes on when the car is parked, but the video clips are saved with date stamps on the memory card
.
I have 522gw works properly but when I connect the cabin camera it goes off after 5-10 minutes . Using a cigarette socket it’s not hardwired fitted
Thank you for the video. I've got a 522 and was considering getting a 622 for my next car later this year. I'm now thinking the 522 will be moving to the next car.
Im surprised that 2 years on there isnt a new model out... yet they are still asking a similar price as it was at launch...
Would be great when you get the opportunity to compare a variety of different driving condition such as night driving.
I'll look at going this soon :-)
@@SouthWalesDashCams can't wait 👍
Thanks, exactly the video I was seeking. 👌 seems like the 522w is better value and does the job for £100 less..unless you want 4k and built In offline GPS?.
So which one is better? Does the higher resolution of the 622 or the night modus help a lot to recognize number plates better in comparison to 522?
Personally based on a side by side comparison and taking into consideration the cost I would say the 522 at the moment. The 622 hasn't bought much more to the table with its higher price.
@@SouthWalesDashCams But other then picture quality they have the same features?
@@nitnit202 Pretty much, except for WhatThreeWords and image stabilisation... but does that justify the cost?
top marks bro
On the 522 there is some lag when the camera need to adjust the lights.
Do you have night time video?
I'll have footage from last night, I'll upload later on
Some general evening footage, varied urban footage HD processing at the moment czcams.com/video/yQNAkUnHe8w/video.html
I don't understand why you are recording in 1080p on the 522gw when it is capable of 1440p a much higher resolution. It is not a fair comparison against a 4k model...
No, currently 4k isn't worth it. Same for security cameras. 4k requires a lot more light (and digital noise reduction because of that) to deliver good pictures, and that destroys the benefit of the higher resolution.
I have a 522. The image when the car is still is fine, when moving it's poor.
I really hoped the 622 would be better and your video shows a slight improvement in quality.
You have saved me £250. Thank you
i had the same problem...after a firmware upgrade to v19.x its good. and the snapshots are pretty good too now.
Purchased the 522 today (late i know but i needed an upgrade) didn't see much point in paying the extra £100 for the 622 from everyone's reviews I've seen
wow i think the 4k/30fps looks really bad, how is the 1440p/60fps ?
Thats not much difference to the footage form the 522 to in all honesty. The 4k can be good at times, but it can also depend on lighting i found.
1440/60FPS is NOT available on 622GW
I am using Firmware R10.5
ok, I turned OFF Image Stabilization and now can choose 1440/60FPS.
I just need the number plate 😂
What's the point in uploading 4k video in 1080p resolution?? Not a good comparison
I have the 622GW and the video quality is great , as long as you use the NextBase SD card that was included. They have larger card if you need one.
Im still using the 622GW in my car, seems to continue to work ok (other than battery, never good in NExtbase - but I have it hard wired). If you have adjusted the settings to be 4k @30fps it should be fine. Not sure why you are having issues with images being pixalted. Maybe try hardware update?
@@SouthWalesDashCams I did a software update but no change. The NextBase SD card changed the image to what it should be. I was shocked ! Very good video !! Thanks ! 🇨🇦
@@Mr.Worf63 Thats good to hear. Cheers. It may be the writing speed on the card there is a small circle/U with a number in on the SD card, the 622 needs, quote from Nextbase - The minimum requirements to allow the camera to function are U3 and 48MB/s continuous write speed. The SanDisk Extreme SD card only has 30MB/s write speed, and therefore are not compatible for use.
@@SouthWalesDashCams Good to know thanks. The Scan Disk Extreme I used claimed a writing speed of 90MB/S . I could try a Samsung Evo plus UHS U3 C10 A2 V30 .
522 looks better by a small amount
622 is shit, Kept freezing. I returned it.
Mines going ok, but i did have that issue with the 522. Did you hard wire yours?
