Nextbase 512G Specification

The Nextbase 512G is a high-definition dash cam designed to provide superior video recording capabilities for vehicles. It features a 2.7-inch LCD display that facilitates easy menu navigation and video playback. The camera captures full 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second, utilizing a 6-layer glass lens with a 140-degree wide viewing angle to ensure comprehensive road coverage. The 512G is equipped with an advanced Sony Exmor sensor, which enhances video clarity, especially in low-light conditions, providing clear footage during nighttime or in poorly lit environments.

The dash cam includes a built-in GPS module that records precise location and speed data, which can be viewed alongside the video footage using compatible software. This functionality proves invaluable for both personal records and insurance purposes. The Nextbase 512G supports microSD cards up to 32GB, allowing for substantial video storage. Loop recording ensures continuous recording by overwriting the oldest files when the memory card reaches capacity, while the G-sensor automatically detects and safeguards footage related to sudden impacts or collisions.

Additional features include a polarizing filter that minimizes glare and reflections from windshields, enhancing video quality. The camera also offers intelligent parking mode, which triggers recording when motion is detected around the vehicle while parked. Connectivity options include HDMI and mini USB for easy file transfers and device interface. The 512G is powered via a 12-24V car power supply, with a built-in battery providing short-term operation when disconnected. Compact and robust, the Nextbase 512G combines advanced technology with user-friendly features to deliver reliable and high-quality in-car video recording.
