Nextbase 320XR Dash Cam Details

The Nextbase 320XR Dash Cam is engineered for effortless operation, advocating for the use of its carefully selected default settings to ensure optimal day-to-day performance. This design philosophy prioritizes user-friendliness, making setup and daily use straightforward for all drivers. An initial full charge of approximately 2 hours via a PC or home USB socket is essential before first use, preparing the device for seamless integration into your vehicle.

Installation is simplified by the innovative Click & Go Pro Powered Mount, featuring adhesive 3M attachment for secure placement. Drivers are advised to position the Dash Cam centrally on the windscreen, ideally behind the rearview mirror, to avoid obstruction. Crucial tips include ensuring the view through a clean, wiper-swept area, angling the camera to minimize sky and maximize road visibility, and removing dashboard clutter to prevent reflections. A Nextbase Polarising Filter can be purchased to further reduce glare.

The 320XR incorporates Automatic Start/Stop Technology, powering on with vehicle ignition and initiating an automatic shutdown when power is cut. For security while parked, the Intelligent Parking Mode automatically triggers recording upon motion detection. The device also features a built-in microphone and speaker, enabling audio recording to complement video footage, enhancing the comprehensive nature of incident capture.

For efficient data management, the Dash Cam utilizes loop recording, automatically overwriting the oldest files when the memory card fills. Critical footage is protected by the G-Sensor, which detects impacts and safeguards the current recording from deletion. Manual file protection is also available via a dedicated button or through playback mode. Regular formatting of the memory card every 2-3 weeks is recommended to maintain stable performance, always after backing up desired files.

The 2.5-inch HD screen with IPS technology offers a wide viewing angle, with a screen saver function available to blank the display after 30 seconds, reducing driver distraction. Connectivity extends beyond the vehicle, offering the MyNextbase Cloud™ service for online video storage and sharing. Users can upload footage to a secure Nextbase server, receiving a shareable link that expires after 30 days, perfect for insurers or social media.

Firmware updates are crucial for maintaining optimal functionality and addressing bugs. These can be performed by transferring a .bin file to the SD card or, for PC users, directly through the MyNextbase Player™ software. This free PC/Mac application allows for viewing, editing, and sharing Dash Cam footage, providing tools to join, trim, annotate, and add title screens to videos before export.

The manual strongly emphasizes using a quality branded Class 10 Micro SD card, or a U3 card if a Rear Cam is attached, due to the high data rates of recording. Nextbase branded SD cards are recommended for superior and consistent write performance, crucial for reliable loop recording. Incompatible cards risk errors such as recording failure, frozen screens, and corrupted files, underscoring the importance of suitable storage for incident capture.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can't find the answer you need? Here are some frequently asked questions about the Nextbase 320XR Dash Cam, and we answer them below.

Video Image is blurred?

Remove the protective lens cover, clean the lens, make sure the windshield is clean and clear of grease, dirt, and debris. Ensure that any Polarising Filter has been set properly.

I cannot insert the MicroSD card?

Align the card with the diagram shown on the Dash Cam and insert until you feel slight spring resistance. Push the card with your fingernail until you hear a small click. Release pressure, and the card will stay retained. If having difficulty, use the edge of a small coin.

I cannot remove the MicroSD card?

With the card installed, use your fingernail to push the card further inwards slightly, until you hear and feel a small click. Release pressure, and the MicroSD card will spring out enough for you to take hold of it. If having difficulty, use the edge of a small coin.

Video Files cannot be played on my computer?

The video files are in .MP4 format and may not be compatible with your PC if suitable playback software is not installed. Use MyNextbase Player™ or a compatible media player.

Video File playback is jumpy?

Remove the SD card and format it to remove non-contiguous files. Use a branded Class 10 (48MB/s) or U3 Micro SD card. Your PC may not be sufficient for playback; try a different PC or copy files directly to the PC/Mac for playback rather than using the Dash Cam as a card reader.

Video has no sound?

Ensure that the 'Record Audio' setting is turned ON within the Video Menu.

I can only record a few minutes of video on my MicroSD card?

Change the recording size (Video Length function) to a smaller size. Increase the size of the MicroSD card (Max 128GB). In the Setup Menu, ensure that 'Recording History' is set to 'Maximum'. 'Minimum' limits the total number of recordings to 4.

My Dash Cam shuts down by itself after a while?

Either the battery has gone flat, there is no power to the Dash Cam, and the 'Auto Power Off' period has been triggered, or 'Parking Mode' has been turned on, and no vehicle movement has been detected for 5 minutes.

No power to my Dash Cam but it works upon my computer?

The cigarette power cable is not working. Inspect the fuse in the Car Power Cable plug (Replacement fuse = 2A 32mm type). If the fuse is blown, inspect the power cable for damage.

I get the message: “Cluster size wrong. Please format SD card” on screen?

The SD card has been formatted in another device, and the Cluster size is not compatible. Use the Setup Menu to format the SD card from within the Dash Cam.

The battery only lasts 10 - 15 minutes?

This is normal; the battery design allows the 'Auto Power Off' feature to function in the event of power loss within the vehicle. It is not intended as an alternative power source to replace the supplied car adaptor.

I get the message “SD Card Error” on screen?

The SD card has become unusable by the Dash Cam. Back up useful files to your PC and then Format your SD card from within the Dash Cam setup menu.

I get the message “Card Full” on screen?

The SD card has become full as there are too many protected files which cannot be deleted to allow for further recording. Transfer useful files to your PC and delete unnecessary files, or Format the SD card from within the Dash Cam setup menu.

I have turned on ‘Parking Mode’ and now can’t stop the recording?

To turn off Parking Mode, firstly shutdown the Dash Cam and remove the SD card to avoid accidental recording activation. Switch the Dash Cam On, and within the Setup Menu, turn off 'Parking Mode'.

My Camera feels warm when it is operating?

It is normal for the camera to feel warm during typical use, especially when it’s recording high definition video or communicating via Wi-Fi.
