Nextbase Duo Specification

The Nextbase Duo is a sophisticated dual-lens dash cam designed to provide comprehensive on-road recording capabilities. It features two high-definition cameras, each equipped with a 140-degree wide-angle lens to capture a broad view of the vehicle's surroundings. The front camera records in 1080p Full HD, ensuring detailed and clear footage, while the rear camera captures at 720p, perfect for monitoring traffic behind the vehicle. The device is equipped with a 2.7-inch LED screen, allowing for easy playback and menu navigation.

To enhance video capture quality, the Nextbase Duo includes High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology, which optimizes video clarity in varying lighting conditions. Additionally, it is equipped with a built-in GPS module, enabling precise tracking of location, speed, and route, which can be crucial for incident analysis. The dash cam also features G-sensor technology that automatically detects sudden impacts and locks the recorded footage to prevent overwriting.

Storage is facilitated through a microSD card slot, supporting up to 128GB of memory, allowing for extended recording durations. The Nextbase Duo offers parking mode, which activates the camera even when the vehicle is parked, providing security footage in case of incidents while the vehicle is unattended.

The device is powered through a 12-24V power supply, compatible with most vehicle types, and includes a built-in lithium-ion battery for short-term operation without a direct power source. The dash cam supports loop recording, ensuring continuous recording by overwriting the oldest footage once the memory card is full. The Nextbase Duo is designed with user-friendly software that allows for easy transfer and management of recorded files via a USB connection.
