Someone rear-ended us at around 30-40mph while our car was stopped at traffic lights.
Weve got no idea what they were doing because we didnt have a rear-facing dash cam fitted.
In retrospect, I really wish we’d made the time to fit one.
That’s why having a dash cam makes an awful lot of sense.
But what if we’d been hospitalized and couldn’t retrieve it?
It offers much more reassurance.
Talking to a group of motoring journalists recently, there seemed to be mixed feelings about owning one.
Equally though, they can incriminate you, the driver too if youre in the wrong.
A fair point, I guess.
Nextbase has launched the iQ app and thats available as of now.
All you oughta do is download it and work your way through the steps.
After launching it you simply work through the various screens before pressing continue.
Initially it advises not to fix the iQ dash cam to your screen for simplifying the setup procedure.
Theres the convenience of cloud storage and also the ability to carry out remote downloads.
Up at the top there are Events, Library and Downloads tabs that are self-explanatory.
Nextbase says that it will be offering at least three new features towards the end of the year.
Youll even be able to add restrictions to things like speed and heavy braking.
Based on our experience having the aforementioned accident, you’re not always thinking clearly after a crash.
