Nextbase SD Cards ™
For best results, we recommend using our Nextbase branded SD cards with your Dash Cam, available ™
to purchase online from , or your nearest retailer. nextbase.com
When using your Dash Cam with a Rear Facing Camera, a U3 or higher SD Card is required.
We recommend formatting your SD Card every 2 weeks to ensure that there is enough space to record
and store new footage. When formatting, protected files WILL be deleted. If you wish to keep these
protected files, you must back then up externally, most commonly by saving files to a desktop computer,
or another secure storage point.
To clear your SD card, go to the ‘
Format SD Card ’ function in your Dash Cam’s Setup settings Menu and
follow the instructions on screen.
Which SD Card shoulld I use in a Dash Cam?
Nextbase have designed an SD card specifically to fulfil the needs of our Dash Cams. We work directly with the
factory to ensure consistency of the SD card quality. Nextbase have spent years testing, trialling and developing
SD cards to optimise their performance with our Dash Cams.
Due to the differences in technology an SD card that works with a mobile phone or computer won't necessarily
work well with a Dash Cam. The main differences and selling points between all SD cards are the storage size
(16GB, 32GB, 64GB, etc.) and the READ speed. READ speed isn't too important when it comes to Dash Cams,
as a Dash Cam WRITES data to the SD card when recording. The ability to maintain a high WRITE speed
consistently is what Nextbase SD cards are designed to do better than any other SD card. Any drop/fluctuation
in WRITE speed within the SD card causes the Dash Cam footage to buffer and in some cases will stop the
recording entirely. Years of research and design allows our SD card controller and Firmware on the SD card to
achieve the requirements of our Dash Cams, where other SD cards cannot.
A large requirement our Dash Cams place on the SD card is the ability to re-WRITE over the oldest footage when
the SD card memory becomes full. This means the Dash Cam is always
Loop recording - when the Dash Cam is
on it is always recording. From our experience most non-Nextbase SD cards struggle to do this as effectively as
our SD cards, this has caused footage to be missing and footage fail to record in the first place.
Best practise is still to Format the SD card occasionally – for a heavy user this would be every two weeks, for a
light user this would be once a month.

Q&A
Q) “Why should I buy a Nextbase branded SD card? Can't I just use any card?”
A) Our cameras have different requirements to other recording devices; this is because they need to keep
recording when the SD card is full whilst overwriting the oldest unprotected files at the same time.
Q) “Why are Nextbase SD cards more expensive than other brands SD cards?”
A) Years of research and development have led to the creation of an SD card that has superior
capabilities to ensure it works with a Dash Cam, where other SD cards don't have such capabilities.
Dash Cams have greater technological requirements from an SD card than a mobile phone or computer,
for example, thus the larger price tag.
Q) “Do non-Nextbase SD cards work at all?”
A) A card that is not made for this purpose may appear to work perfectly in the beginning, although
failure tends to happen after prolonged use, this could be days, weeks, or months. In a worst-case
scenario, you may only discover recording failure after your SD card fails to record a serious incident,
therefore using a suitable card is imperative.
Q) I have a rear camera module as well as the Dash Cam, which SD card do I need?
A) If you are using a Rear Camera Module and a Dash Cam you need to ensure that a U3 SD card is
used inside the camera. It is important to note that our
32GB U3 microSD Card will record approximately
4 hours of HD footage before the Dash Cam overwrites the oldest recordings, or 2 hours is using a Rear
Camera Module. The 64GB U3 microSD Card will record approximately 8 hours of HD footage before the
Dash Cam overwrites the oldest recordings, or 4 hours is using a Rear Camera Module. The 128GB U3
microSD Card will record approximately 16 hours of HD footage before the Dash Cam overwrites the
oldest recordings, or 8 hours is using a Rear Camera Module.
Q) “What errors may I encounter using a faulty or incompatible SD card?”
A) You may experience any of the following:
· SD error messages
· Recording failure
· Automatic recording failure
· Frozen screen
· Gaps between recordings
· Corrupted or unplayable files
· Failure to startup and shutdown
· Inoperable buttons
If you experience any of the faults listed above, we strongly recommend that you replace your SD card
with a Nextbase one.
All our dashcams are tested using Nextbase branded SD cards, therefore we cannot attest to the
compatibility of other manufactures products. For best results we always recommend using
Nextbase branded cards.
