Nextbase™ SD Cards Q&A For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase™ branded SD cards with your Dash Cam, available to purchase online from nextbase.com, or your nearest retailer. 16GB Approx 2 hours footage. 32GB Approx 4 hours footage. 64GB Approx 8 hours footage. 128GB Approx 16 hours footage. When using your Dash Cam with a Rear Facing Camera, a U1 or higher SD Card is required.
Trouble Shooting Problem Solution The Mount will not stay in place. Ensure that the red protective cover (plastic film) has been removed from the mount pad. Make sure that the glass is smooth and clean. Press the mount firmly to the glass ensuring that there is 100% contact with the glass. This can easily be seen from outside the windscreen, as contact area of the pad turns a darker colour. If the mount pad has lost it's sticky qualities, change the pad for the spare item contained within the box.
Trouble Shooting Problem Solution Video File playback is jumpy. Reformat the SD card to remove non-contiguous files. For best recording use a Nextbase branded U1 SD card of 8 to 128GB. PC may not be sufficient for the playback task, try a different PC. Copy the recorded video files onto the PC / Mac for playback directly rather than use the Dash Cam as a card reader. Reduce the resolution of the recording within the Dash Cam and record some new files to test if this is the problem.
