Alexa not working properly

The DVR works fine, but that's not what I bought it for. I bought it because Alexa had to have it. You can get it to work, but it requires a reboot and reinstall every time. It's an expensive, annoying waste of time.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Negative impression

Nothing Works Well for Car Video

PRO: Size, Suction, Screen Tips/Controls, Quality Materials, Audio CONS: Using 128GB, Recording for a short time and then stop, all black screen recording, no connection to iphone: all functions are in constant download mode etc. etc. I'm sure it works well for some; but to me it seems useless and a waste of money. It doesn't seem to do anything at all. Factory technical support is fast, friendly, nice, etc., but all the inoperability issues remain.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Replacement Availability

Dash Mount - Trash

I bought the 522GW from Best Buy. The recording quality is very good, after that the camera is not worth it. Firstly, I am not satisfied with the "interface" which is very difficult to work with, especially when I do NOT want to share ANY INFORMATION WITH GOOGLE and the app requires location services not to be enabled. Second, I use a window vac that didn't last two months and now it doesn't last more than five seconds. The camera is powered via a proprietary interface in the mount and I have…

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly dented

I paid my local dealer to install this webcam by placing the rear webcam cable under the headliner. I left the USB cable unplugged and hung it down so the webcam wouldn't turn on until I turn it on. As with most modern electronic devices, most of the problems encountered while using the device are related to the software. I ended up buying an iPad to communicate with the dash cam, but it's still easier to remove the micro SD card and view the content on my desktop PC. The only real issue is…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Repair

Good quality daytime video

Purchased from Best Buy, I waited for the harness to arrive to plug into my car even though the Nextbase harness did not have the necessary fuse for my car. I ordered the correct fuse from Revain. The Nextbase App and the Alexa App work together to provide the ability to use the Dash Cam with voice commands over your mobile device's data connection. The video examples are edited but give an idea of the high video quality this dash cam offers and by the way this video is in low resolution. I…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Piggy bank Price

Customers pay to call support

This NextBase is made in the UK. I just received from Best Buy. It is very easy to install on the dashboard and route the cable. The video and photo quality is excellent, as is the ease of use. But the downside is forcing me to bring this back: - the app on my iPhone 11 Pro max version 13.3.1 keeps hacking and disconnecting which I have to keep plugging in manually - no live view if you want to see what's going on alone in Your car - no clouds - no warning if you're hit or hit by another car…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Far far far from what they advertise

THE NATURE This is my third DVR model to get from Revain. I want to have a good DVR in my car. I really want this to be all the advertising says. NO!. GOOD - Camera feels like a solid product in hand - Packaging and printed material VERY GOOD - Magnetic latch is surprisingly strong BAD - Software has BAD performance and flawed design. The seams are like work in progress - The camera image is NOT better than any other cheap Chinese product - The camera display shows a rainbow over the image. The

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not the best
