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.

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/Reflection Free Lens 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.

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.

Automatic Start / Stop Technology

This Nextbase™ Dash Cam senses power supplied to the cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically. When the ignition is turned off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process.

2.2 Format your memory card using the Dash Cam. This will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. Within the Setup menu, select ‘Format SD Card’ and follow the on-screen instructions.

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

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 (models with LCD screens), or indeed through the MyNextbase Connect™ App for applicable Wi-Fi 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 using the device 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™ device 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 device.

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

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).

- 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 settings to either ON or Speed display (showing only your speed). Turning the Screen Saver ON will blank the screen 30 seconds after starting the vehicle and therefore the screen will NOT be a distraction to the driver.

Accessories

Multiple accessories can be purchased for your Nextbase Dash Cam, including a Rear Window Camera, a Polarising Filter, and a Rear Facing Camera. Some of these products can effect where you should position your camera. For more information on how to position and use these products, download the ‘Nextbase Accessories Manual’ PDF a www.nextbase.com.

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.

Recording History

In some territories, there are laws prohibiting the amount of footage your Dash Cam should hold. The default setting is ‘Maximum’, where your Dash Cam records and stores videos without restriction. If ‘Minimum’ is selected you will first be asked to Format (wipe) your SD Card; be sure to back up, or protect any files you wish to keep before doing this. If you choose not to Format the SD Card, no action is taken and the function will not be activated. Format SD Card will not affect protected files. Once the SD Card has been formatted, the file recording length will be automatically set to 1 minute. The Dash Cam will now be limited to storing only 4 unprotected files at any one time. When a new file is recorded it will overwrite the oldest file, keeping the number of stored files at the maximum of 4. As protected files (i.e. recordings of incidents) cannot be overwritten, these do not count towards the 4 file maximum, and are stored to the capacity of the SD Card. When Recording History is turned On, Time Lapse will be turned Off.

Options: Maximum and Minimum Default: Maximum

Parking Mode

When Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam enters standby mode when the 12Vdc supply has been turned OFF (typically removing your ignition key).

The Dash Cam will also enter standby mode if no physical movement is detected for 5 minutes, this is designed to allow use of a permanent 12Vdc supply, i.e hard-wire kit.

Should physical movement of the vehicle be detected, the Dash Cam will power on and start recording a 1-2 minute protected video. If no further physical movement is detected then the Dash Cam will return to standby mode, if physical movement is detected subsequently, then the camera will continue to record normally, i.e. driving once more.

In order for this function to work, you must have the ‘MyNextbase Connect™’ app installed on your smart-phone (or similar device), have an internet connection, and have Bluetooth turned on. ‘MyNexbase Connect™’ can be downloaded from the Apple App Store® or Google Play®. Use the QR codes below, or search for ‘MyNextbase Connect™’ in the relevant store.

In the event of an incident

The camera immediately notifies the MyNextbase Connect app to begin monitoring key sensors in your smartphone such as GPS, accelerometers and the pedometer. The camera and app will notify you that it has begun monitoring your smartphone's sensors with on-screen messages and an alarm tone.

Should the accident render you unconscious and/or you are unable to cancel the on-screen emergency SOS countdown, the MyNextbase Connect app will automatically send a crash alert containing your GPS location, mobile number, medical details and vehicle information to the Emergency Services. If you are ok, you can deactivate the alert manually or respond to the follow-up call from an emergency services operator.

Emergency SOS

Your Nextbase™ Dash Camera and MyNextbase Connect App features life-saving crash detection and emergency alerting technology. It is designed to automatically and directly connect you to the nearest Ambulance Service in the event of an accident when you are unable to call for assistance.

If your dash camera detects a crash, the MyNextbase Connect app monitors key sensors in your phone. If you are unable to call for help, it will automatically send your last known GPS location, medical and vehicle details to the nearest Emergency Service within minutes of the crash.

Providing you have a valid subscription, you can drive with total peace of mind; safe in the knowledge that your phone is being monitored by this award-winning technology.

App

Once MyNextbase Connect is installed, you must set up

Apple App StoreGoogle Play Store

Emergency SOS with your personal and medical information. Follow the Emergency SOS setup menu in the app, filling out the information fields. This will include information such as your name, medical history, and any pre-existing conditions, Providing accurate medical and vehicle details helps emergency responders locate and treat you as quickly and appropriately as possible. You will also be asked to enter your mobile phone number, as this will be the number the emergency services will call in the event of an incident. When entering your phone number, be sure to enter it with your country dialling code (see below for examples):

GB FR ES NL NO FI SE DK DE IT US

+44 +33 +34 +31 +47 +358 +46 +45 +49 +39 +1

Once you enter your phone number you will be sent a verification code to enter. This will confirm that the phone you are using can be contacted by emergency services. If you do not receive a verification request, re-enter your phone number. Once you have entered all of your Emergency SOS information and are paired with the Dash Cam, the Dash Cam will automatically turn Emergency SOS ON.

Dash Cam Screen Icon

If Emergency SOS If it is turned ON and you have not set up your Emergency SOS information on the app, or it has disconnected, you will see a pop-up on your Dash Cam: “Emergency SOS Error. Please open MyNextbase Connect on your phone to reconnect”. Once turned ON, the Emergency SOS icon will appear on the Dash Cam’s Live view screen.

No Icon = Feature turned OFF = Flashing icon; establishing connection = Solid Icon; connected

If the alert does not get cancelled, Emergency Response operatorss will automatically begin the process of dispatching paramedics to your last known location.

If the crash detection technology within the camera is triggered inadvertently, the MyNextbase Connect app is designed to detect a range of vehicle and customer movements such as continued driving, walking around or moving the phone. It will automatically cancel the Emergency SOS process if movement is detected as we expect you can call the emergency services if medical assistance is required.

Emergency SOS Frequently Asked Questions

The below points are there to answer any further questions you might have about the Emergency SOS system.

Question Response

If I crash, will you notify the Police?

Can I set it off inadvertently?

What happens if I receive a call and don't need an ambulance?

What happens if I am out of mobile phone signal range?

What happens if the phone battery dies?

What testing and evaluation has the MyNextbase Connect™ App undergone?

No. The MyNextbase Connect™ app automatically sends your location, medical and vehicle details to the nearest Ambulance or Emergency Response Service only.

The Emergency SOS feature has a range of safeguards to ensure it won't alert the emergency services unless it has validated that assistance is required. This is tried and tested technology has been UK Government approved for connecting directly to the emergency services.

The Emergency SOS countdown gives you 150 seconds to deactivate the phone sensor monitoring process. Failure to deactivate will then result in a call from the Emergency Services operator. If you are ok you can simply cancel the process via the camera or app within 150 seconds or answer the emergency services call. If you do not manage to do either, simply press the ‘Contact Emergency Services' button and tell the operator that the crash detection feature sent an alert and that you missed the call back.

In the event of an accident, the MyNextbase Connect app requires a network connection and mobile signal. The network connection is needed to send a very small data packet (about 1.5kb) to the emergency services, and the mobile signal is required for the Emergency operator to call your phone. If there is no network coverage, then the MyNextbase Connect app cannot send the data.

If your phone's battery dies while the MyNextbase Connect app is monitoring your phone's key sensors, then this data can NOT be sent.

Due to the nature of the Emergency SOS feature and it's ability to connect directly to the Emergency Services, rigorous testing and evaluations are carried out on a regular basis. These include but are not limited to:

- Regular camera/app crash, processing and connectivity testing

- Confidence and accuracy testing

- Emergency Service integration and process testing

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 (Optional)

The first step allows you to join multiple videos together. Please note that the videos you join together must all be the same resolution. 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. 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 (Optional)

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.

The video will resume after 4 seconds.

To begin adding annotations, find the frame you wish to annotate (using the white marker, and left/right arrows to scroll through frames), and click

Annotation window

on the ‘Add Annotation’ button to open the annotation 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 (Optional)

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. Stamps for GPS, number plate, and time can also be removed, as well as the audio and GPS data 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.

Video Sharing

Videos can be shared to social media and insurers through the ‘Share Video’ button. When a destination is selected (i.e Facebook), the target web page will open in your default browser. You will then be asked to sign into your account, and once you are logged in, the browser will close and a pop up will show your upload’s progress. When the ﬁle is ﬁnished uploading you will see an option to view your uploaded ﬁle. 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.

More Features

When a video is being played back in the Playback Window, press ‘Crtl + i’ to open a window displaying all of the metadata for that video including information such as: file name and size, resolution and frame rate, max and average speeds, GPS information, and more.

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.

4. Add Title Screen (Optional)

Add a title screen to your video. The title will be displayed for 4 seconds at the start of your video. To add a title, click inside the white rectangle and type the desired title. Press ‘Continue’ to proceed.

Some functions, such as GPS data, are available only on select models.

For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with your Dash Cam, available™ to purchase online from , or your nearest retailer.nextbase.com

32GB

Approx 4 hours footage.

We recommend formatting your SD Card every 2 weeks to ensure that there is enough space to record and store new footage. When formatting, protected files WILL be deleted. If you wish to keep these protected files, you must back then up externally, most commonly by saving files to a desktop computer, or another secure storage point. To clear your SD card, go to the ‘Format SD Card’ function in your Dash Cam’s Setup settings Menu and follow the instructions on screen.

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 an 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

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.

Unresolved Issues

Solution

The SD card has been formatted in another device and the Cluster size is not compatible. Use the Setup option to re-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 camera 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 is not compatible with all TVs and monitors. Ensure that all connections are correctly attached.

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

Limited Warranty

This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other legal rights, which vary from state to state (or by country or province). Nextbase™ does not exclude, limit or suspend other legal rights you may have under the laws of your state (or country or province). For a full understanding of your rights you should consult the laws of your state, country or province.

Nextbase Liability extends to the cost of the Dash Cam alone. Any recordings which have not taken place or recoverable from the SD card for whatever reason are not covered by the product warranty. No liability for costs incurred due to corrupt, missing, erased video recordings will be accepted. No claims for additional costs outside the cost of the Dash Cam itself will be accepted.

Nextbase products are warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase, with batteries warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for six months from the date of purchase. Within this period, Nextbase will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or labour, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation cost. This Limited Warranty does not apply to: (i) cosmetic damage, such as scratches, nicks and dents; (ii) consumable parts, such as batteries, unless product damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (iii) damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, water, flood, fire, or other acts of nature or external causes; (iv) damage caused by service performed by anyone who is not an authorised service provider of Nextbase; (v) damage to a product that has been modified or altered without the written permission of Nextbase, or (vi) damage to a product that has been connected to power and/or data cables that are not supplied by Nextbase, or (vii) damage to a product that has been connected to 12Vdc directly, having cut off the Cigarette Lighter plug which contains the 12/24Vdc to 5Vdc adaptor.

If you seek warranty service outside of the original country of purchase, Nextbase cannot guarantee that the parts and products needed to repair or replace your product will be available due to differences in product offerings and applicable standards, laws and regulations. In that case, Nextbase may, in its sole discretion and subject to applicable laws, repair or replace your product with comparable Nextbase products and parts, or require you to ship your product to a Nextbase Authorised service facility in the country of original purchase or to a Nextbase Authorised service facility in another country that can service your product, in which case you will be responsible for complying with all applicable import and export laws and regulations and for paying all custom duties, V.A.T., shipping fees and other associated taxes and charges. In some cases, Nextbase and its dealers may be unable to service your product in a country outside of the original country of purchase or return a repaired or replaced product to you in that country due to applicable standards, laws or regulations in that country.

If implied warranties cannot be disclaimed under the laws of your state or country, then such warranties are limited in duration to the duration of this limited warranty.
