Okay, let's talk about my new Nextbase 522GW dash cam. First off, the video quality? Absolutely stunning. 1440p resolution makes license plates readable even at a distance – super helpful when that one driver decides to cut you off.

But here's the thing... the app? Total nightmare. It's like they designed it to be as frustrating as possible. Connecting via Bluetooth feels like solving a Rubik's cube blindfolded.

The suction cup mount though? Chef's kiss! Stays put even on bumpy roads and Texas heat (seriously, it survives Houston summers like a champ). Just don't make my mistake – position it carefully before sticking because that 3M adhesive is basically permanent.

Night vision works decently, but heavy rain turns everything into a blurry mess. And Alexa integration? Cool in theory, but I'm an Apple person so it just sits there unused.

Would I buy it again? Maybe. The video quality alone makes it worth considering, but be ready for some quirks.
