Nextbase 622GW Front + Rear review

This is the 622GW dual kit. The front camera is the same 4K unit as the solo listing. The rear is Nextbase’s 1080p window camera on a long cable. For a supermarket car park that rear view is the difference between “someone hit me” and “that silver hatchback hit me”. It is not a 2K STARVIS 2 rear.

Everything we said about parking on the solo 622GW still applies. Intelligent Parking Mode needs a live supply. Nextbase sells a hardwire kit for this mount. Fit it, set the low-voltage cutoff, or do not claim you have parking mode.

Compared with the VIOFO A229 Pro 2CH, you gain a polariser, a larger screen, and UK extras. You lose a named STARVIS 2 pair and a 2K rear. That is the fork. Our Best 5 keeps the solo 622GW as the UK all-rounder and the A229 Pro as the evidence dual, so this kit is the 622GW for people who already know they want the rear.

Who it is for

UK drivers who already want the 622GW and want the rear camera now.

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

Who should skip it

Anyone who wants STARVIS 2 on both cameras. The rear here is 1080p.

Anyone buying mainly for buffered or radar parking.

The good

• 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

The bad

• Rear is 1080p, not 2K
• Parking is still G-sensor, not radar or a long buffer
• Two cameras mean more cable through the headlining

Common questions

Solo 622GW or this kit?

Solo if you might never fit a rear. This kit if you already know you want front and rear Nextbase.

Is the rear 2K?

No. 1080p. For a 2K STARVIS 2 rear, look at the A229 Pro.

Does parking work without hardwire?

No. Same rule as the solo 622GW.
