Nextbase 622GW Front + Rear review

This is the 622GW dual kit. The front camera is the same 4K unit as the solo listing, and the rear is Nextbase’s 1080p window camera on a long cable. If someone bumps you in a supermarket car park, that rear view can show which car it was. The catch: the rear's still 1080p, so it doesn't match a 2K STARVIS 2 rear on published resolutions and sensors.

Everything we say about parking on the solo 622GW applies here too. Intelligent Parking Mode needs a live supply, and Nextbase sells a hardwire kit for this mount. So we'd fit it and set the low-voltage cutoff, or we wouldn't count on parking mode working.

Next to the VIOFO A229 Pro 2CH, you gain a polariser, a larger screen and UK extras, but you lose a STARVIS 2 pair and a 2K rear. Our Best 5 keeps the solo 622GW as the UK all-rounder and the A229 Pro as the evidence dual, so this kit's really for you if you already know you want a Nextbase with the rear camera included.

Who this suits

You already want the 622GW and you'd like the rear camera now.

You want Nextbase 4K at the front without a second order for the rear.

When another camera fits better

You want STARVIS 2 on both cameras. The rear here is 1080p.

You're buying mainly for buffered or radar parking.

What works well

• 4K front and a rear camera in one kit
• Polarising filter on the front lens
• Same UK extras as the solo 622GW — screen, What3Words, SOS

What to watch for

• Rear records at 1080p rather than 2K
• Parking still relies on a G-sensor wake rather than radar or a long buffer
• Two cameras mean more cable through the headlining

Common questions

Should I buy the solo 622GW or this kit?

If you might never fit a rear, the solo camera's enough. If you already know you want front and rear Nextbase, we'd go for this kit.

Is the rear camera 2K?

No, it's 1080p. For a 2K STARVIS 2 rear, we'd look at the A229 Pro.

Does parking work without hardwire?

No. It's the same rule as on the solo 622GW.
