Introduction to your Dash Cam

This range of Nextbase™ Dash Cams has been designed specifically with ease of use in mind; it is recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully selected to give the best performance for day to day use.

Please check the firmware version of the Dash Cam, the version can be found in the Setup menu under System Info. The latest versions are available to download from our website, where you can download and update when necessary.

www.nextbase.com

Basic Operation

It is essential that a quality branded Class 10 or U1 type Micro SD card is used with this Dash Cam use to the very large data rate generated by high resolution recording. For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase™ branded SD cards with your Dash Cam. Your Nextbase™ Dash Cam is set to record video, in ﬁles of just 1 minute in length. This means that each video ﬁle is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company. Eventually your MicroSD card will ﬁll up with video ﬁles but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest ﬁle to make space for new recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of driving data saved.

Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 1.5 hours of driving footage.

For summer months where the clocks are brought forward or for driving in other countries, adjust the time in the Setup Menu (Time & Date) to account for the time difference from GMT by adding or subtracting 1 hour as required.

There are 3 modes of camera operation - Video, Photo and Playback. Press the MODE button on the Dash Cam to select required mode. Video Mode: The default mode when the camera is turned on, for video recording. Photo Mode: Allows you to take still photographs. Playback Mode: Allows you to view recorded video or photographs upon the Dash Cam LCD screen.

1. Tips for capturing best video footage:

1.1 Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not a distraction to the driver.

1.2 Ensure that the area on the windscreen that the Dash Cam is looking through is clear of dirt and is within the wiper zone. This will ensure that your videos are as clear as possible.

1.3 Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road. Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation.

1.4 Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard these can cause reﬂections to be seen on the windscreen and these reﬂections may be captured during recording.

1.5 To improve dash board glare, a Nextbase™ Polarising Filter can be purchased.

2. Tips for stable memory card performance:

2.1 Periodically format the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you format the memory card. This will wipe any ﬁles from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any ﬁles from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content.

2.2 Format your memory card using the Dash Cam. This will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. Press MENU twice and choose the Format Card option. Follow the on-screen instructions accordingly.

2.3 Switch off the Dash Cam before removing the SD memory card, to prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the ﬁles stored upon it.

Automatic Start / Stop Technology

The Dash Cam will automatically power on and be ready to use once power is available. In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power on once the ignition has been turned on. When power is cut off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process.

Camera Legal Requirements Precaution

In some jurisdictions it could be considered an invasion of privacy rights to take or publicly display photographs or videos of people or their vehicles using this product. It is your responsibility to know and comply with applicable laws and rights to privacy in your jurisdiction and in any jurisdiction in which you may use this device. Video recordings made by this Dash Cam should be for personal use only.

Publication of the recordings on YouTube, the internet or other methods is subject to the data protection legislation and the requirements thereof must be adhered to. Such data protection legislation may prohibit the use and dissemination by you of Dash Cam footage or may impose restrictions on it – we recommend that you check the legal requirements with your legal advisor before disseminating any Dash Cam footage.

G Sensor Notice

The G Sensor within the Dash Cam measures forces exerted upon it, with reference to one G which is the nominal force exerted upon us when stationary on the earth's surface. The G Sensor will also trigger to protect any recording currently in progress, if a pre-determined threshold of force is exceeded.

The G Sensor protection will be adversely affected if the Dash Cam is NOT mounted in the vertical direction i.e. with the lens pointing to or from the direction of travel.

G Force information derived from a G Sensor is not warranted to be totally accurate at all times, as it is derived from the G Sensor through a sampling method over time. The precision of the G Sensor value recorded depends upon when the acceleration took place at the instance of the sample taken.

The thresholds to trigger the video protection rely upon a trigger value being exceeded between two successive samples, in any one of the three G Sensor axis.

If the Automatic G Sensor protection does NOT trigger during an event, then the Protect button should be pressed, in order to protect the file. Protecting the file can also be performed using the Playback function upon the Dash Cam, or through the MyNextbase Connect™ App for applicable Wi-Fi enabled models.

Positioning Your Dash Cam

Notes On Positioning Your Dash Cam

Please read and follow the notes below for the safe operation of your Dash Cam within your vehicle.

Before installing the Dash Cam on your windscreen, check the state and local laws and ordinances where you drive. Some laws prohibit or restrict the placement of objects on the windscreen of a motor vehicle. IT IS THE USER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO MOUNT THE DEVICE IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND ORDINANCES. Always mount your Nextbase™ Dash Cam in a location that does not obstruct the driver's view of the road. Nextbase™ does not assume any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of any state or local law or ordinance relating to the use of your Nextbase™ Dash Cam.

As per the installation instructions, you must install the Dash Cam so it does NOT obstruct the driver’s view of the road (red, above), preferably on the passenger side of the vehicle and behind the rear view mirror. The Dash Cam needs to view through a clear section of windscreen in an area swept by the windscreen wipers (green, above). However, the Dash Cam should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the green wiped area is the maximum permitted by UK law.

Hiding the Cable:

- Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of the driver, as depicted by the red area in the illustration to the left of this page.

- When installing the Dash Cam in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under trim.

- Make sure that the Dash Cam power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls, such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers.

- Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to obscure any mirrors.

- Clean the windscreen at the point of location, prior to fitting the Dash Cam, also, applying some moisture to the suction cup may be beneficial, to ensure absolute adhesion.

- It is recommended NOT to operate the Dash Cam whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving.

- Adjust any settings or review recordings whilst stationery, not whilst driving.

- After the preliminary SETUP has been carried out upon the Dash Cam, adjust the Screen Saver setting to ON; this will blank the screen automatically 30 seconds after starting the vehicle and therefore the screen will NOT be a distraction in any way to the driver.

Accessories

Multiple accessories can be purchased for your Nextbase™ Dash Cam, including a Hardwire Kit and Polarising Filter that can effect how best to set up your Dash Cam. For more information on how to position and use these products, download the ‘Nextbase Accessories Manual’ PDF at www.nextbase.com

Make sure the hanging cable does not obstruct your view out of your rear window. Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable as you are stowing it. If necessary, use the cable tidy tool supplied with your Dash Cam; this can be used to help pry open the lining of your car (see illustration below, right).

Changing Mount Attachments

Follow the instructions below to switch between mounts attachments; 3M adhesive or suction. To attach each mount, align the pins on the mount with the holes on the adhesive/suction attachment and slide firmly to the right until you hear the pieces click into place. To remove the top, simply do the reverse, slide it to the left until you can lift it off of the mounting pins.

Ensure the windshield is free of grease and dirt before mounting; if necessary, clean with a warm, clean cloth. Ensure that the Mount and Dash Cam do not obstruct the driver’s view.

Removing Adhesive Residue

If you wish to remove the adhesive mount from your windscreen, use hot soapy water or an alcohol based solution to get rid of any sticky residue and ensure that your windscreen remains clean and clear. Leaving residue on the windscreen for an extended period of time will make it harder to remove. If hot water or an alcohol based solution proves ineﬀective, it may be necessary to use a small sharp blade. If this is the case, protect your ﬁngers and use the blade ﬂat against the surface of the glass to avoid causing scratches.

First Time Use

To ensure the set up of this Dash Cam is as quick and simple as possible, there is an easy to follow ‘First Time Use’ menu.

This menu is used to set Language, Time, and Date.

This menu will appear when:

In some territories, there are laws prohibiting the amount of footage your Dash Cam can store. The default is ‘Maximum’, where your Dash Cam records and stores videos without restriction. However, if ‘Minimum’ is selected, your Dash Cam will be limited to storing only 4 files at a time. When a new file is recorded it will overwrite the oldest file, keeping the number of files stored at a maximum of 4.

Note: When you select ‘Minimum’, you will be asked to confirm that all files will be deleted. Back up any files you wish to keep (including protected files) before switching to ‘Minimum’ storage mode.

While recording, protected files do not contribute towards the 4 video limit. These videos are assumed to be of interest as they are protected either by abnormal G Sensor activity or by a manual activation of the protect function.

MyNextbase Player - Editing Videos

To use MyNextbase Player to edit your recorded ﬁles, you need to ensure that the ﬁle you wish to edit is™ currently playing in the Playback Window. You can do this by double clicking the ﬁle as it appears in the File List window. When the ﬁle is playing, click on the ‘Edit’ button to begin the 6 step editing process.

1. Join Videos

The ﬁrst step allows you to join multiple videos together. Your video will appear in the centre of the screen, with buttons on either side to add additional videos before or after the chosen video ﬁle. Clicking either of these buttons will open up the list of ﬁles in your library that can be added. Once added, these will appear next to your original video ﬁle. You can only join videos that are of the same resolution.

The order of the video ﬁles can be altered by clicking and dragging a video. To remove a video, hover over the chosen ﬁle and a ‘Remove Video’ option will appear. Click to remove this video.

Once you are happy with the video(s) selected, click on the continue button to move to step 2.

2. Trim Video

Trimming the video allows you to shorten your selected clip to only include the incident or event that you are interested in. To the left of the Playback Timeline is a green marker, indicating the beginning of your video. To the right of the Playback Timelime is a red marker, indicating the end of your video. These can be dragged to a point on the Timeline of your choosing; when exporting, MyNextbase Player will™ create a single video ﬁle from the footage located between the markers. The white marker indicates your current playback position.

3. Annotate Video

During the video there may be an object or incident that you wish to highlight, annotating you video will allow you to do this. When you annotate a frame, your video will pause at the speciﬁed frame and display any annotations that you have added.

screen. Along the top of the annotation screen you will see the annotation tools -Draw, Circle, Square, Rectangle, and Text. Clicking any of these options will add an editable annotation to that frame. This shape/text can be moved, resized, and rotated using the handles on the sides and corners of the selected annotation.

5. Output Settings

The ﬁnal step in the editing process allows you to specify the quality of your video ﬁle and the data included.

The Video Resolution determines the quality of the video footage; by default the Video Resolution will be set to output at the same quality as the original ﬁles. Lowering the Video Resolution will produce lower resolution ﬁles but will also reduce the size of the ﬁle and lower the time it takes to produce the ﬁle. You can also remove the audio from the video by ticking the corresponding box. Once the data has been removed it cannot be added back into the edited video. This will not aﬀect the original ﬁle.

Lastly, you can specify the name of the ﬁle being created and the location that you would like it saved. When you have chosen your output settings click on the ‘Conﬁrm’ button and MyNextbase Player will™ begin processing your video.

6. Process Video

During step 6, MyNextbase Player will process your video clip(s) and edits, and produce a single ﬁle in™ the location speciﬁed. This can take some time and will depend on the number and length of video ﬁles being joined and video resolution. Once the video has been processed, it will be added to your MyNextbase Player ﬁle list.™

Videos can also be upload to the Nextbase server; you will be e-mailed a secure link to view or™ download your video. This link can be sent to your insurer, without the need to transfer a large video ﬁle. Videos will be automatically deleted 30 days after upload.

When you have ﬁnished your annotation, click ‘Save and Close’ to return to the Add Annotation screen, where more annotations can be added. When you have ﬁnished adding annotations, press ‘Continue’ to proceed.

The CE (Conformité Européenne) mark is a symbol (below) printed on products to indicates it’s conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within Europe. It is used on many products across many industries (for example, SD cards) as a mark of compliance with European standards.

In recent years, many variations of this mark have appeared in the market. While similar, the mark above is the only variant that is associated with, and declares compliance with European standards. Other marks, like the ones below, do not guarantee that the product it is attached to or is compliant with European standards for sale in the European Economic Area (EEA).

The main difference between a legitimate CE mark and a misused CE mark is the spacing of the letters. The letters, C and E, tend to be formed identically, however the spacing between them is what separates the real from the false. The images below show how the letters should be spaced. There will never be additional markings such as a border or circle used on a legitimate CE Mark.

CE Mark False CE Mark

False CE Mark

(too close)

(too far)

As products without the correct CE marking are not guaranteed to comply with European Health and Safety standards, those products are potentially less reliable and could pose a safety risk. Be aware of the CE marking when purchasing electrical products. The descriptions above of false CE markings are not comprehensive; be aware that new variations may appear on the market.

PC may not be sufficient for the playback task, try a different PC. Copy the recorded video files onto the PC / Mac for playback directly rather than use the Dash Cam as a card reader, as the USB system on your PC may be too slow for HD video playback.

The Codecs upon your PC may not be compatible or the latest standard. Download the latest Codecs from: .www.nextbase.com

Ensure that ‘Record Audio’ setting is turned ON within the Video Menu.

Change the recording size (Video Length function) to a smaller size. Increase the size of the MicroSD card. Max 128GB. In the Setup Menu, ensure that Recording History is set to Maximum. Minimum limits the total number of recordings on your Dash Cam to 4.

The Access Files function will work on both Windows and Mac. Restart the PC, as this may be required for the necessary driver to be loaded correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the Dash Cam. Please bear in mind you cannot transfer files to the Dash Cam in ‘Access Files’. Files can be transferred to the SD Card using an SD Card reader.

Correct, the Dash Cam is a ‘read-only’ device. It is not recommenced to save files from other sources to the same memory that you will use for recording within the Dash Cam, as these may have a negative effect on the performance of the Dash Cam.

Ensure that the protective cover (plastic film) has been removed from the suction pad. Moisten the sucker slightly before affixing upon the windshield. Ensure that the locking lever is fully closed. Make sure that the glass is smooth and clean. Do not stick to glass that has any non-smooth effect or paint whatsoever. Affix to the glass firmly and then close the locking lever fully.

My Dash Cam shuts down by itself after a while.

No power to my Dash Cam but it works upon my computer.

Unresolved Issues

Solution

The SD card has been formatted in another device and the Cluster size is not compatible. Use the Setup Menu to format the SD card from within the SD card.

Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to a reliable power source and that the supplied Car Power Cable is being used, with the blue LED lit.

The battery will only receive charge when the Dash Cam is connected to a power source,

Charging takes approximately 2 hours and a full charge is indicated when the blue LED on the Dash Cam goes out. To charge, take the Dash Cam indoors and charge it for 2 hours; once fully charged, check to see if the problem persists. If it persists, the car power supply may be causing the issue.

This is normal, the battery design allows the 'Auto Power Off' feature to function in event of power loss within the vehicle. It is not intended as an alternative power source to replace the supplied car adaptor.

The SD card has become unusable by the Dash Cam. Back up useful files to your PC and then Format your SD card from within the Dash Cam setup menu.

The SD card has become full as there are too many protected files which cannot be deleted to allow for further recording to take place. Transfer useful files to your PC and delete unnecessary files, or Format the SD card from within the Dash Cam setup menu.

The Dash Cam will start a recording whenever motion is detected. To turn off Parking Mode firstly shutdown the Dash Cam and remove the SD card, this will avoid recording being activated accidentally. Switch the Dash Cam On and within the Setup Menu, turn off the 'Parking Mode'.

This is normal during recording. Stop the recording before pressing the MENU button. If recording re-starts before you can press MENU, then see the Parking Mode section above.

This is not a cause for concern, as this message will appear whenever new software is downloaded from the internet. Simply go to the settings within Google Chrome and turn off the malicious software protection temporarily to download and install the playback software. Reinstate previous Google Chrome settings afterwards.

Try multiple USB ports and an alternative mini USB cable (if possible). Please ensure it is inserted into the USB port on the Dash Cam and not into the mount.

It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially when it’s recording high definition video or communicating via Wi-Fi.My Camera feels warm when it is operating.

Reset the Dash Cam to the default settings within the Setup Menu and try again. Should the problem persist call the UK helpline (02920) 866429 or call your local support centre, found at www.nextbase.com Alternatively email: support@nextbase.com
