What I need is a dash cam with front, cabin, and rear cameras & parking assistance. I'm stuck between 4 models:

1. Nextbase 622gw https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F7RH7NY/ref=c...1B61?psc=1

2. Rexing V5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088B6372Z/ref=c...J5F867SHV8

3. Rexing M3 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09MG11N8Z/ref=c...1R49JVVWBY

4. Rexing M2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N1KMSZ7/ref=c...BFES9C57BK

Any suggestions?

I have a (front Camera) Nextbase 522GW, which which has provision for a rear window mounted camera to be plugged.
It comes with apps to download and view on laptop or mobile.

I have the full set up and I find it faultless in it operation and quality of pictures, unlike earlier cameras which suffered from dodgy (old?) software, and some poor thought out plugs and sockets.

It will start up when parked for a very short while. It managed to capture a bit of video of someone backing off after clipping my rear bumper, whilst left in a car park. Reg Number recorded quite clearly aswell as the startled face of his wife.

The laptop program show time, date, speed, and a small map of where you are.

Thanks for your opinion! Do you have to enable parking mode when you park or does it automatically turn on and off?

I can't help on your models, but here is some information on my wiring which maybe of some help. https://www.freel2.com/forum/topic36713.html


As far as reverse parking or backing up, I think dashcam screens are too small. They also turn off after so many seconds not to be a distraction while driving. You can override this but it's not really the ideal situation. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Works great as front & rear dashcam with a nice view during reversing

If you really want footage of an event, you can fit two 26AH batteries under each seat. A lot cheaper & far more capacity than the dashcam battery packs.

My 6 cameras use about 2.3 amps maximum with screens running. Has a 3amp panel circuit breaker for them.
