About this deal

In theory, an HD camera should offer enough detail to make out licence plates. But note that we've had our hands on dash cams that shoot at superior resolutions - Full HD, 2K, Quad HD and 4K.

Nextbase 112 Dash Camera 720p HD - Ryman

One obvious indication that the 112 is a budget device is the video resolution it uses for recording. Where the 512GW boasts 1440p resolution, the 112 drops right down to 720p – 1280 x 720 pixels. This is basically a quarter as many pixels, so you won’t get anywhere near the detail, even under the best of conditions. Starting this weekend, Lidl will be selling a budget-priced Nextbase dash cam as part of its Middle of Lidl sale.smart home devices, get directions, find parking, and more— all while you keep your hands on the wheel and eyes on Its compact design makes this the perfect accessory for first time drivers, power goes directly into the mount, meaning that the dash Cam is free from wires and the camera will automatically turn on when you start your vehicle and off when you stop. Perfect to provide instant video evidence whilst on the roads. The G Sensor also has three sensitivity settings, as well as an off mode. This comes into play to detect sharp movements, which then triggers marking the current video recording as an incident. This means it won’t be overwritten during the looping process. Then the Dash Cam will be visible as a removable drive on your computer. If you go into My Computer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) you will be able to see the Dash Cam listed as a drive, usually called NEXTBASE.

Low light performance isn’t particularly impressive either. Unless you are driving in very well-lit night conditions, you probably won’t be able to make out much detail. Again, there’s not a huge amount of noise or grain; the video is just very dark and you can’t see very much. Estimated delivery times are provided to us by the respective delivery companies.

If you find you need to position the 112 pointing up from the mount at the bottom of your windscreen rather than hanging down from the top, it’s possible to rotate the display by 180 degrees. However, the buttons that were below the screen will now be on the top, which might be a little confusing.

But when we tried it for ourselves, the dash cam we tested was a complete letdown, failing to recognise movement even at the highest sensitivity level. Thanks to its lowly 720p video resolution, the 112 doesn’t deliver video quality at anything like the level of its 512GW sibling. Not surprisingly, the detail is very noticeably less, and although you can make out large text, you can’t read number plates unless viewed at close proximity and low speed. Overall, this is some of the weakest dashcam image quality we have seen. Plug your Dash Cam in. Ensure the cable is plugged directly into the dash cam and NOT via the mount. To see how the Nextbase 112 dash cam compares with other budget options, we tested the video quality in varying conditions. See our full Nextbase 112 review for the results.

MyNextbase Connect turns your Nextbase Dash Cam into a fully connected smart device whilst allowing you to easily edit and share your videos. The Nextbase 112 features a G-force sensor that's meant to save a video clip when the camera detects a crash. If you don't have your smartphone with you, still-photo support on the Nextbase 112 lets you snap a picture at the press of a button. Again, the low resolution reduces the value of this feature, with clear evidence of artefacts including stair-stepping of diagonal lines. The image has also been stretched horizontally. This car is nowhere near as long as it looks in this picture. Virtually any recent smartphone will outperform the 112’s still image abilities. Why buy the Nextbase 112?

If the Dash Cam does not appear as a drive on your PC, please press the reset button on the underside of your Dash Cam and try all the USB ports on your computer. You can tinker a little with the auto-exposure settings, switch audio recording on or off and even input your licence plate number that is watermarked onto the camera’s footage. All of these are quite neat, if simplistic – far more than you might expect from a device of this price. Other features Take your Dash Cam inside and plug it into mains power or a computer using the Nextbase provided USB cable.If the dash cam does not appear as a drive on your PC, please press the reset button on the underside of your dash cam and try all the USB ports on your computer. The best on test excels in good light, producing some of the best recordings we've seen. This is invaluable for helping an insurance claim go through. To add to its list of strengths, the dash cam is extremely easy to use thanks to a large touchscreen and intuitive menus. Built-in wi-fi makes it easy to send footage to your smartphone or tablet. Remove the SD card and press the reset button on the underside of the Dash Cam. Then turn the Dash Cam on. Please turn Parking Mode off and turn Screen Saver off as these could interfere with the test results. Unlike many other devices, the power cable actually connects to the mount itself rather than the camera. It uses a micro USB port on the side of the mount and then plugs into the auxiliary/cigarette lighter port on the car itself. It means that, unfortunately, you may find yourself unable to use a GPS alongside the camera as these tend to utilise the same port to power themselves. However, if you’re someone who uses a smartphone to navigate anyway, this won’t be an issue. Overall, it’s very easy to set this device up, and the design is both functional and logical.
