It’s been two years since Nextbase launched its Series 2 dash cams and, to coincide with CES 2022, the UK-based manufacturer has announced what’s coming next.
The iQ is a range of connected dash cams which give a 540-degree view of your vehicle, whether you’re driving it or it’s parked. The unusual angle is derived from the fact it has three 180-degree lenses: one facing forward, one backwards (to the car’s interior) and a third camera mounted in the rear window capturing everything going on behind.
It’s the first fully connected model from Nextbase, having a built-in 4G SIM to provide alerts, location data and a live video feed to your phone, wherever you happen to be. As far as we know, this makes it the first dashcam in the world to offer 4K resolution, three lenses and 4G connectivity.
Design-wise, the iQ is completely different to any previous Nextbase dashcam. For a start, it doesn’t have an LCD screen. This means it relies more on the new Nextbase iQ app than previous models did on the old app, though there’s also a built-in voice assistant that allows you to control certain functions completely hands-free.
It’s designed to sit behind your rear-view mirror with the cabin camera poking out below it, as you can just about make out in the image below.
