Nextbase, the global leader in dash cam technology, introduced Nextbase iQ, a truly smart, fully connected dash cam designed for any vehicle. Featuring the latest AI-powered technology and 4G IoT connectivity for real-time access from anywhere at any time through the iQ app, Nextbase iQ is more than just the world’s best dash cam; it allows users to anticipate, prevent and defend against incidents both on the road and while parked.
Available now iQ is offered exclusively in-store at Best Buy across the United States and Canada, and online at BestBuy.com, Amazon.com and Nextbase.com – iQ starts under $500 USD/$700 CAD and is the world’s only connected smart dash cam offering up to 4K resolution and a built-in interior cabin camera with infrared. Users can achieve complete vehicle coverage when the iQ is equipped with the optional third rear window mounted POV the iQ Rear Camera*.
“Nextbase iQ is unlike anything on the market ,” said Richard Browning, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer for Nextbase. “It sets a new benchmark for dash cams. But more than that, it creates a whole new category by extending high-end smart home-style connectivity into the car and making advanced connected-car technology – on par or even better than that offered on the most expensive, tech-forward new cars – available to everyone, regardless of the age, type or value of their vehicle.”

Honored among TIME’s List of Best Inventions, the Best of CES, and Fast Company’s Innovation by Design, the Nextbase iQ boasts the safety and security you’d expect from the best smart home systems, but now in your vehicle. Key world-first features include:
- Smart Sense Parking – dual-technology powered by Nextbase’s proximity sensing Spatial Awareness and G-Force Sensors that scans the area surrounding your vehicle and warns of any dangers via real-time notifications to your smartphone with imagery and video.
- Witness Mode – voice-activated, instantly saves a 30-minute block of video to the cloud and instantly pushes a notification to an emergency contact in real-time, so you never face a stressful situation alone or without evidence
- Emergency SOS – automatic alerts for emergency services with location and other potentially life saving details following a serious accident.
- Live View – Via the iQ app, see what’s going on in or around your vehicle at any time. The app also allows you to live stream, trigger an audible alarm, two-way talk (with future iQ firmware update), view video history, share and more.
- Real-Time event notifications – sent to your phone wherever you are in the world, whether there’s a bump in the parking lot or an intruder attempting to enter your vehicle.
- Voice Activation – Hands free voice commands to enable privacy features such as mute, turn off cabin cam, activating Witness Mode, and more.
- Driving/Security Mode – iQ is able to detect the status of the vehicle and switch between driving mode and parking mode, in which it scans for threats, while avoiding car battery drainage.
