Nextbase 32GB U3 Micro SD Card

The amount of footage that can be stored on an SD card depends on several factors, such as resolution, the Dual Files setting and if you have a rear camera attached.

The following are approximate storage durations for the below resolutions (without a rear camera):

• 1080p at 30fps: 285 minutes
• 1440p: 135 minutes
• 4K: 80 minutes

You can format the SD card using the camera itself or using a computer. To do this via the dash cam, follow these steps:

1. Turn on the dash cam
2. Stop it recording
3. Open Settings
4. Go into Setup
5. Click 'Format'
6. Follow the instructions

Please be aware that formatting the SD card will delete all the data on the card, so if you wish to keep any footage, make sure that you copy this across to a computer before you start the formatting process.

As a dash cam is very write-intensive, it’s essential that the SD card is formatted every 2-3 weeks. Without this regular formatting, the card could fail. For more information about formatting, please see the ‘How do I format this SD card?’ FAQ or your camera’s manual.

If your SD card isn’t regularly formatted, it will fail.

Symptoms of SD card failure are an audible 'alarm' tone, non-functional buttons, freezing, corrupted files on playback, images missing from files, lack of file recording and more. To avoid these, please use a compatible SD card and format it every 2-3 weeks.

All of our Series 2 cameras are compatible with the Nextbase 32GB U3 Micro SD card. This includes the 122, 222, 322GW, 422GW, 522GW and 622GW.

It’s essential that you use a dash cam-compatible SD card within a Nextbase dash cam. If the card isn’t compatible with dash cams, then it could fail when recording.

We recommend using a Nextbase SD card as these are specifically designed to be used in Nextbase cameras.
