Lots of incidents being reported on the roads lately, so looking at one of these.

https://nextbase.eu/ie/exclusive-offers/522gw-dash-cam-full-package-with-128gb/?tw_source=google&tw_adid=&tw_campaign=20362427968&tw_kwdid=&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20358120908&gbraid=0AAAAApw1lZUww2YFdw2LmavkSLM51URBK&gclid=CjwKCAiAmp3LBhAkEiwAJM2JUKKI3IiAk43Xo5CD9cIqqtPmPVGyRwO0td1kL6vTXutHfmdsR2J0CRoCxZ8QAvD_BwE

Nextbase also doing a 10% discount with code NBCPX10, so brings it from €254 to about €230.

The price is €322 on Halfords.

Looking at the following myself, with the rear camera as an attachment/module rather than standalone camera,if anyone with experience of this had any pros/cons over the standalone rear camera.

Presumably the hardwire kit would be worth getting, which is a separate €29.

Open to any other recommendations.

Theres a few sellers of the nextbase cameras on adverts.ie that would come in cheaper :)

I bought a Redtiger F7N dual dash cam in Black Friday sale direct from manufacturer to replace my Nextbase 322 & am very happy with it. They currently have 25% sale, and are giving 128GB SD and hardwire kit for €118.

Can also get it from Amazon without the h/w kit for £98. Additional warranty offered if purchased from manufacturer.

If you want a more OEM look, try Fitcamx: https://fitcamx.com/

Got the Botslab 4-channel one on Aliexpress recently.

Does front, back and driver/passenger windows. Hard to fault it so far for around €150.
Fit / wired it in myself with one of the hardwire kits from Amazon but it does come with a cigarette charger style cable.

I was driving behind a car in Cork city recently, and could see their rearview mirror. One half of the mirror was displaying a front dashcam view and other half was possibly showing a rear dash cam view.

Viofo would be considered much better than nextbase. They use much newer camera sensors.

I have a Viofo 229, went with 2k front and 2k back cameras. Have it hardwired too.

Great quality night and day.

Yep, I'm thinking I might go for the Viofo 229 plus 2ch, and the hardwire kit .

There is a 10% discount code OPENING, so it comes in around €235 for the full package,includes hardwire kit and 128gb SD card!

Thanks for all the input, the nextbase was a good deal compared to other retailers, but seems like there's a few better products out there!

Received my new 622GW today as an upgrade from a 322GW. Not impressed, stops recording randomly, picture quality not much different, had to increase exposure (which is why i upgraded, thought there was an issue with my own one), Alexa thing is rubbish but I didn’t buy it for that. This is a downgrade for me, so I’ll be sending back and getting a different brand
