App summary

Raise your car’s iQ with Nextbase. Every feature is designed to help you predict threats, protect your car, and step in before something happens.

The Protect and Protect Plus subscriptions ensure you have all the features necessary including Live View, Smart Sense Parking, Roadwatch AI, Witness Mode and more, for the world’s first truly Smart Dash Cam.

Setup - Install your Nextbase iQ in just two minutes. Our user-friendly guide walks you through the setup process with easy-to-follow instructions and tips to get you on the road in no time at all.

Includes setup guidance for Nextbase iQ 1K, 2K and 4K models, including the Nextbase iQ Rear Camera.

Live View – See what your car sees with the always-on camera from anywhere in the world

Smart Sense Parking –Your iQ detects threats using Spatial Awareness and custom-trained AI to monitor movement around your car and record the footage. Such as potential break ins, a car backing up too close, or people loitering around your car. Intervene from anywhere with voice* or an alarm to act before anything happens.

Witness Mode – Never face danger alone again. Simply say “start Witness Mode” anytime you feel on edge, in a road rage incident, or if you’re pulled over. Your iQ will lock onto the incident and share live footage with a trusted contact so they can step in and help.

Guardian Mode* – Stay in control with Guardian Mode. Set speed and location limitations on your iQ and get a notification if your car breaks them. Guardian Mode can provide reassurance if a family member has borrowed the car, or if you have given your car to a valet or mechanic, so you don’t have to worry about the ‘what if’s.



Emergency SOS – Get instant life-saving help. If you, or whoever is driving are unresponsive after an accident, your iQ will share location and key medical details and dispatch the emergency services.

Roadwatch AI* - AI comes to life. Go back and see the evidence with Roadwatch AI adding crucial context to any recording. See approximate speed and distance of vehicles around you, whilst also classifying pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and more to track their movements as you watch. Prove your side of the story.

Always-On 4G Connection - Access your data anytime, anywhere. Our secure encryption keeps all your data safe. Your iQ uses an always-on 4G connection to make your files accessible, no matter where you are.
*Coming soon

I have the 4k model. Unfinished product. 4g...more like 2g; shoulda came with 5g. I have a 1tb micro SD card by SanDisk with high read & write speeds and it is still SLOW. I've had someone walk within inches of my car and it didn't trigger. Understand you have to pay, $10minimum-$20, monthly for it to work. The one time my car was stolen from, it wasn't recording the cabin; may this be a warning of how this product perfoms.

The device is super high-tech and well made and then they pair it with the app that just bugs all the time huge connection issues The device is only as good as the app that runs it remember that

I'm becoming increasingly frustrated with this app and the camera. Anything that involves sending data from the phone to the camera fails. SOS hasn't worked for months - setup always fails because it says there is no bluetooth connection, even though both phone and camera show they are connected. Support have been unable to find a solution to this. Firmware updates usually take several attempts, and often report failure even when they are successful.
