Setup & Installation
- Ensure Front Dash Cam is Off: Before attaching, make sure your compatible Nextbase front dash cam is powered off.
- Locate Connection Port: On the side of your front Nextbase Dash Cam, you will find a magnetic or click-in port specifically designed for accessory cameras.
- Attach Rear View Camera: Align the Rear View Camera's connector with the port on the front dash cam. Gently push until it clicks securely into place. No additional cables are required.
- Positioning: The camera will typically point directly out the rear of your vehicle through the windshield or rear window, depending on your dash cam's mounting location. Adjust the angle slightly if necessary for optimal rear visibility.
- Power On: Power on your front Nextbase Dash Cam. The rear camera should be automatically detected and begin recording.
Care & Maintenance
- Lens Cleaning: Periodically wipe the camera lens with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth to ensure clear footage. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh cleaning chemicals.
- Secure Connection: Occasionally check that the camera is securely connected to the front dash cam, especially after driving on rough roads.
- Firmware Updates: Keep your main Nextbase Dash Cam's firmware updated, as this can sometimes include performance improvements for connected accessories.
