Thanks to Nextbase for providing the IQ for me to test for this video. The IQ comes in 3 versions - 1k, 2k and 4k resolution and I’ve got the 2k here, as well as the optional 2k rear camera. Unboxing the main camera, you can see that the IQ doesn’t look like any other dash cam that’s come before it. It’s got a camera module, with lenses facing outwards to the road and inwards to the passengers, and a large circular base, which is actually a speaker, with two 4g antennas and, on the reverse, a large sticky pad mount. This dash cam doesn’t have a built-in battery and requires a constant power source, but luckily there are two ways you can power this dash cam so the majority of vehicles will be covered; an OBD-port connector and a hardwire kit. And, if you’re wondering, yes the IQ will turn itself off if it detects the battery voltage getting too low, with Nextbase saying “it is expected that a vehicle can be left for approximately 6 days before the voltage drops too low” for the IQ to stay on. The protruding lens is the outward facing lens that records the road in front of the vehicle, and it films with a 140 degree viewing angle. The flatter lens is the inward-facing cabin camera which has a 180 degree filming angle and the added bonus of infrared Both of these lenses record at 2k resolution. One thing you may have noticed about the IQ is that there isn’t much in the way of a screen, like you might be used to with other dash cams. And that’s because you can view all of your footage, whether live or recorded, on the Nextbase IQ app, as well as changing the dash cam’s settings…plus it will send you notifications about the status of your vehicle. The optional rear camera is quite a bit smaller than the front camera and there is only one resolution it comes in - 2k - and like the road-view lens, it has a 140 filming angle. So what makes the IQ stand apart from other dash cams and competitors? In a word, technology. Nextbase reckon the IQ is the world's first truly Smart Dash Cam, as it's packed with lots of safety features and technology. Features the IQ has to offer include: Smart Sense Parking, Emergency SOS, Remote alarm, voice control, Live View on a mobile, witness mode, Roadwatch AI and Guardian mode. Check out the video to compare iQ footage video quality with the Nextbase 662GW dash cam. Also, be sure to update the Nextbase iQ firmware as soon as you get the dash cam, as it will sort out a number of bugs. 🔔 Thanks for watching and if you’ve enjoyed this video, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE! 🔔 #nextbase #dashcam #nextbaseIQ #dashcams #nextbasepiqo #piqo #dashcamreview DISCLAIMER: I’m not suggesting you buy this item or that it’s perfect.
