Nextbase Piqo 1K Dash Cam – Full HD, Small Front Dashcam, 140° Ultra-Wide Lens, Voice Control, Bluetooth, WiFi, 10Hz GPS, Smart Parking - V2 APP UPDATE RELEASED

After some trouble getting the camera to format the card and connect to my phone, this has been a very good dashcam. I can't see it behind the mirror and it makes a noise to show it's operating and shutting down. The day footage is adequate, but I've not actually tried downloading any night recordings. For the money it's WAY more hassle free than the cheap unbranded cameras. This is worth the little bit extra to just fit and forget. There's a higher resolution version too but when I bought mine it was about double the price, if they are close I'm price I would have tried the high res version. Worth a double check on the price now I'd say.

Due to its small size, this dash cam sits behind my rear view mirror. Ok it hasn't got a screen so you need the app to view the clips and that was where I had trouble connecting. So now, I just put the sd card in my laptop.

Easy to set up and easy to use app

Ok, so let's start with the good things, when you can see it the picture quality is ok and to be fair the camera is pretty cheap considering that. This is my fourth Nextbase dash cam and the other three were simple to install, stick in a memory card, attach to windscreen, route cable and plug in and finally check picture from back screen. Unfortunately with this camera things are far from simple. I refused to stick it to the screen as suggested in the set up video until I had paired it to the Nextbase app. After nearly an hour and four attempts (250 mb/s wifi) I finally managed to download the recommended firmware update which after two attempts installed. I've had this thing about a week, the app randomly refuses to connect to the camera (IOS 18.5) when it does sometimes it will not show images in the library just an eternal downloading screen that never ends, sometimes it will say that the camera is not connected even though the home screen says it is. A reboot of my phone left the app with just a Grey screen which needed a further reboot to fix although it isn't fixed. Not a problem I thought, the camera just slides off its mount and I can view the files in the old fashioned way. There is no way this camera will slide off its mount on my windscreen probably without the use of a hammer and chisel which I may yet resort to so I can send it back for a refund. Come on Nextbase, I think you have seriously let yourselves down here. Update the app worked again briefly and I was about to change my review but sadly again today it reverted to the same issue of never ending syncing so still utterly useless in my opinion. So after 4 months of it working reasonably ok apart from random failures to connect to my phone it has now lost GPS so no longer records position, speed or even turned the clock back this last weekend. Nextbase I hope you read this and reach out as I am about done with this camera.

This is a very good camera , I’m currently using it as a rear camera as it’s small . Worth every penny worth when it’s on special . Make sure to get the right nextbase SD card suggested

The app is great, I had a few glitches while setting it up, and there was loads of help included in the app, and they helped enormously to solve my small problems.

Good little dash cam. Easy to install and get mounted. However the app connection is an absolute nightmare to get connected. You have to make sure you’re not on WiFi while setting it up because it needs to create WiFi connection between the dash cam and your phone to update and then finally let you see what’s going on. Other than that headache it’s a pretty nifty camera

Very good buy, but car radio not working now.

Mach was es soll, einzig die Anzeige von MPH anstelle KM/H finde ich unpassend, sollte mit einem Firmware Update leicht zu Beheben sein.

This has been the best purchase ever. It is huge peace of mind to have the dashcam recording as you drive in tough traffic situations easy to set up and integrate with the Nexstar app. The video quality is just the right level to distinguish important details and being in a hot area of the USA, very heat resistant!!

So far so good the only issue that I have is that it relies on wireless connection for you to watch videos on your phone through the app so if I am not near the camera, I can’t watch any videos from the library or even connect my phone to the camera. I also got the quick connect, which is good because my camera will continue to be on even when my car is off.

The camera itself records at a very good HD quality. Installation is super simple and the cable management varies on your preference and vehicle type. The only downside is the app functionality, which is pretty terrible. Also, don't believe the hype, you CAN use 3rd party SD cards. Just make sure it's the right format.

Horrific setup. Battled bluetooth setup then wifi connection setup, rinse and repeat. It's time for these electronics manufacturers to stop relying on "connect to the wifi network created by the device" as a setup paradigm. Lots of blockers in the setup where you can't proceed without completing above setup issues. Never did get view setup completed.
