How long is the battery life?

The battery life depends on usage, model, and environment. Power is drawn from the Nextbase Click&Go mount while the car is on, but the battery activates during downtime or accidents. Inactive direct power triggers Intelligent Parking mode, conserving battery for G sensor surveillance for up to 2.5 weeks. If an event occurs, the battery wakes the Nextbase camera, capable of recording multiple incidents. It’s not intended for standalone use like an action cam. Upon removal from direct power, the dash cam enters sleep mode, conserving battery for Intelligent Parking Mode. Adding the hardwire kit extends surveillance using the car’s battery.

Do I have to use a Nextbase SD card?

Our specially designed SD cards undergo rigorous testing to ensure compatibility and optimal performance. Equipped with wear leveling technology, our SD cards ensure that data is written evenly across the memory cells, enhancing durability and reliability. We recommend regular formatting every 2-3 weeks to further optimize SD card performance. Using non-Nextbase SD cards or neglecting regular formatting may lead to issues such as freezing, recording gaps, failures, or difficulty powering up. Additionally, non-Nextbase SD cards may struggle to cope with the write-speed and constant stress of continuous video recording loops.

How does the Dash Cam mount to the windshield?

Our dash cams come with a 3M Adhesives sticky pad, which securely attaches the Click&Go Mount to the windshield. Adhesive mounts have all be crash tested for maximum durability and safety, but please be aware that adhesive stickiness may be affected by hot climates. Adhesive mounts offer durability, but please be aware that adhesive stickiness may be affected by hot climates. For best results, ensure your windshield is cleaned and dried using the provided pads before mounting. Suction cups are available for separate purchase.
