When you review products for a living you start to take them for granted a little. Sure, reviewing your firstelectric scooterorsmartwatchcan be exciting, but when you’ve reviewed dozens of them then it can start to get a little repetitive, until something new and exciting comes along.
I’ve reviewed countless dash cams for ourbest dash camguide, and until today the thought of reviewing another one didn’t give me that much of a thrill, to be honest. That’s all changed with the Nextbase iQ, which Nextbase claims is the world’s first fully-connected smart dash cam, and has me revving my engine in anticipation.
The Nextbase iQ is packed full of AI-powered technology and provides instant, accurate monitoring ofothervehicles’ speeds and trajectories with Roadwatch AI, and with Witness Mode, iQ offers immediate handsfree recording, as well as real-time cloud upload to provide the ultimate video evidence for when drivers feel most vulnerable.
The new dash cam is even capable of Spatial Awareness, where the dash cam anticipates, records, and notifies you of incidents when away from your vehicle.
An all-new Nextbase IQ app gives you real-time alerts and access to video when away from your vehicle.
The iQ also features real-time tracking with GPS, smart sense parking for enhanced monitoring of your surroundings and instant incident notifications.
Building on Nextbase’s previous T3 Award-winning models, I expect the iQ will still nail the basics, with 4K recording, three cameras for different views, and advanced image processing.

The iQ will be available in Autumn 2022 and you can read more about it onNextbase’s website.
There’s no word on price yet, but the brand’s current flagship model, theNextbase 622GW, costs £249 / US$399, and I expect the iQ will cost more than that.
