NextBase NBDVR122 Operation & User’s Manual

This range of Nextbase™ Dash Cams has been designed specifically with ease of use in mind; it is recommended NOT to change the default settings, which have been carefully selected to give the best performance for day to day use. Please check the firmware version of the Dash Cam, the version can be found in the Setup menu under System Info. The latest versions are available to download from our website, where you can download and update when necessary. www.nextbase.com Basic Operation It is essential that a quality branded Class 10 or U1 type Micro SD card is used with this Dash Cam use to the very large data rate generated by high resolution recording. For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase™ branded SD cards with your Dash Cam. Your Nextbase™ Dash Cam is set to record video, in files of just 1 minute in length. This means that each video file is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company. Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with video files but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest file to make space for new recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of driving data saved. Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 1.5 hours of driving footage. For summer months where the clocks are brought forward or for driving in other countries, adjust the time in the Setup Menu (Time & Date) to account for the time difference from GMT by adding or subtracting 1 hour as required. There are 3 modes of camera operation - Video, Photo and Playback. Press the MODE button on the Dash Cam to select required mode. Video Mode: The default mode when the camera is turned on, for video recording. Photo Mode: Allows you to take still photographs. Playback Mode: Allows you to view recorded video or photographs upon the Dash Cam LCD screen. Automatic Start / Stop Technology The Dash Cam will automatically power on and be ready to use once power is available. In some vehicles this will be when connections are made, for others the Dash Cam will power on once the ignition has been turned on. When power is cut off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process. 02 1. Tips for capturing best video footage: 1.1 Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not a distraction to the driver. 1.2 Ensure that the area on the windscreen that the Dash Cam is looking through is clear of dirt and is within the wiper zone. This will ensure that your videos are as clear as possible. 1.3 Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road. Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation. 1.4 Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard these can cause reflections to be seen on the windscreen and these reflections may be captured during recording. 1.5 To improve dash board glare, a Nextbase™ Polarising Filter can be purchased. 2. Tips for stable memory card performance: 2.1 Periodically format the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you format the memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content. 2.2 Format your memory card using the Dash Cam. This will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. Press MENU twice and choose the Format Card option. Follow the on-screen instructions accordingly. 2.3 Switch off the Dash Cam before removing the SD memory card, to prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it.
