      Our Developers are always working to improve the functionality of our cameras and provide new features, such as different languages. We can do this even once you have your camera by releasing new firmware. To benefit from these improvements and updates, please check your Dash Cam's firmware and update it if there is an update available.

      Can I use a rear camera with this model?                            
      remove
      add

      The 380GW does not have a compatible rear camera. We would recommend using a separate Camera such as the 122 or 222 on the rear windscreen. You will need a separate power supply and SD card as it will not connect to your 380GW, but can be used as a Camera facing rearwards. The prices are comparable with the Series 2 Rear Cams, and if you’d like to keep using your 380GW, is the most viable option.

      Please check that your card is not larger than 128GB and has a minimum U1 class.


      Please remove the SD card, then press the reset button on the side of the Dash Cam. Then, without the SD card inserted, please turn on the Camera. Does it now start normally? If so, then the SD card has either failed due or is not compatible for Dash Cam usage.

      How often should I format my SD card?

      It is crucial to format every 2 weeks to delete any built-up footage.
      How do I stop the audio being recorded on my footage?
      remove
      add
      the camera records the audio from inside your car onto the recordings, along with the video.

      You can turn off the camera audio using your CamViewer app.

      1. Open the app on your phone.
      2. Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to the app.
      3. In the top left hand corner of the app home screen is a menu button. Select this.
      4. The top option is 'Dash Cam Settings'. Select this.
      (If this option is grey'd out, the camera is not connected to your app)
      5. There's two options at the top- 'Video' and 'Setup'. Select 'Video'.
      6. You'll see 'Audio Recording' half way down the screen. Use the button on the right of 'Audio Recording' to disable the sounds from the camera. Green is on, grey is off.

      This will only turn off the audio track on the camera recordings, not the notification sounds coming from the camera itself. 

      How do I stop my camera making noises?                          
      remove
      add

      The camera makes notification tones for a variety of reasons, such as turning on or off, if an SD card format required, connecting to the app etc.
      You can turn off the camera notification tones using your CamViewer app.

      1. Open the app on your phone.
      2. Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to the app.
      3. In the top left hand corner of the app home screen is a menu button. Select this.
      4. The top option is 'Dash Cam Settings'. Select this.
      (If this option is grey'd out, the camera is not connected to your app)
      5. There's two options at the top- 'Video' and 'Setup'. Select 'Setup'.
      6. You'll see 'Sounds' half way down the screen. Use the button on the right of 'Sounds' to disable the sounds from the camera. Green is on, grey is off.

      This will only turn off the sounds from the camera, not the audio track on the camera recordings.

      How do I connect my camera to a computer?

      add

      1) Plug your Dash Cam in. Ensure the cable is plugged directly into the Dash Cam in the correct port (under the side flap of the camera). If it does not appear as a drive on your PC, please try all the USB ports on your computer.

      2) Then the Dash Cam will be visible as a removable drive on your computer. If you go into My Computer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) you will be able to see the Dash Cam listed as a drive, usually called NEXTBASE.

      3) Double click on this drive. You should then see nextbase.com, nextbase.info and DCIM.

      4) Double click on 'DCIM'. Inside this you'll see a selection of folders. Inside these folders are your photos and footage.

      5) You can copy the files onto your PC to save, view them using your computer's media player, or view the files using the correct Nextbase app- Replay3. This can be downloaded from the above ‘Software’ section.

      Which Hard Wire Kit is this camera compatible with?

      The Series 1 and Series 2 Hard Wire Kits will work with the Series 1 model Cameras. The Series 2 Hard Wire Kit is backwards compatible.

      What type of Micro SD card should I use and what is the maximum compatible size for use in this camera?         
      remove
      add

      The maximum compatible SD card for the 380GW is 128GB. We would recommend a Dash Cam compatible 8GB-128GB U1 Micro SD card, specifically designed for Dash Cam or CCTV usage. We would recommend a Nextbase SD card for guaranteed functionality within a Nextbase product.

      Why do I need to format my SD card?                                   
      remove
      add

      Regarding the recording lengths, the camera will record continuously in small segments. It will record these segments consecutively until the SD card is full. Then the oldest piece of footage will be deleted, and the newest will be saved in its place. This will continue looping and is called Continuous Overwriting. The Dash Cam does this automatically to allow for more footage to be recorded and the old, unnecessary footage to be deleted without manual intervention. However Protected Files are not overwritten in the same way. These can build up and prevent normal footage from being recorded. It is crucial to format every 2 weeks to delete any built-up footage

      How do I format my SD card?                                                    
      remove
      add

      You can re-format the card by two methods;

      1) On the Dash Cam Itself
      2) On a Computer

      1) On the Dash Cam:
      a) Turn on the Dash Cam
      b) Stop it recording (press the red button once under the flap on the side of the camera).
      c) Click and hold the red triangle for 6 seconds.
      d) The yellow LED will then flash.

      2) On a Computer:
      a) Plug the SD card into the SD card port, or plug the provided USB cable into the port on the top of the camera.
      b) When the drive appears, right click on the drive.
      c) Select 'Format' (Windows) or 'Erase' (Mac)
      e) Do not click the 'Quick Format box'. Please ensure it's formatted as exFAt or FAT32.
      f) Follow the instructions.

      Please be aware that formatting the SD card will delete all the data on the card, so if you wish to keep any footage, please copy this across to a computer before you start the formatting process.

      We recommend reformatting the SD card every 2-3 weeks to prolong the life of the card.

      What do the LEDs on the top of the camera mean?          
      remove
      add

      Blue: This is the battery indicator. (This will only function when a battery pack is in use)
      If the blue LED is flashing quickly then the battery is low.
      If it's a solid blue then the battery is charging.

      Red: This is the power indicator.
      If the red LED is flashing slowly, then the camera is recording.
      If it's flashing quickly, then the camera is updating the firmware.
      If it's solid red then the camera is turned on.

      Yellow: This is the GPS and formatting indicator.
      If the yellow LED is flashing slowly, then the camera is searching for GPS.
      If it's flashing quickly, then the camera is formatting the SD card.
      If it's solid yellow then the camera has GPS signal. 

      The red / blue triangle is illuminated on the top of the camera, what does that mean?
      remove
      add

      The Red triangle is the Protect button.
      If this is slowly flashing, then the camera is connected to a computer in Mass Storage Mode.
      If it's quickly flashing, then the card requires formatting, or has corrupted.
      If the Protect button is solid red, then the footage is being protected.


      The Blue triangle is the Wi-Fi button.
      If this is slowly flashing, then the camera is in Wi-Fi mode or Update Mode.
      If it's quickly flashing, then the card requires formatting, or has corrupted.
      If the Wi-Fi button is solid blue, then the camera is connected to a mobile phone.
