If a significant impact is detected, the camera turns your phone into ‘beacon mode’. The 322GW includes Nextbase’s Emergency SOS feature, which uses a connection to your smartphone to call the emergency services and give them your precise location if an accident is detected and you don’t respond. The camera measures 47 x 85 x 45mm, weighs 82g, and the LED display is 2.5 inches. We like how two mounts are included with the 322GW, giving buyers the choice of how they want to fit the camera, or making it easy to transfer the camera between vehicles. There’s also an HDMI-out port for plugging in Nextbase’s rear-facing camera, if you want to buy that too. This makes it very easy to remove and replace the camera, as you just pull it away from the magnetic mount and away you go. While there is a USB power port on the camera itself, the included power cable also plugs into the windscreen mount. The other mount is smaller, features a ball-and-socket join to position the dash cam just so, and sticks to the screen using 3M adhesive. These attach to the camera using strong magnets, then one includes a suction mount for easy attaching and detaching from the windscreen. This work by removing a panel from the front of the camera, then replacing it with one of the two included windscreen mounts. Much like the rest of Nextbase’s GW range of dash cams, the 322GW is fairly compact, has a touchscreen display on the back, and a smart magnetic mounting system.
