Nextbase are by far the biggest dash cam brand in the United Kingdom, with an impressive 65% of market share. In May 2019, they released their Series 2 models: Five brand new dash cams, from the rather basic Nextbase 122 up to the top-selling Nextbase 522GW (full review).
These cameras bring a number of previously unseen features to the car camera market, such as Alexa integration and the ability to automatically call emergency services in case of a serious accident (Emergency SOS). All of the Series 2 dash cams support a simple impact-triggered parking mode, and the more advanced models (from the 322GW upwards) allow you to add one of a variety of rear-view camera modules.
In order to make it easier to compare which of the five Nextbase series 2 cameras does what, the following table gives you a quick overview of the main features of each model.
