The Nextbase iQ line of dashcams has all that and more but requires a subscription for the flashier stuff.

And that’s it.

Each one provides the same technical featuresthe only difference is in the resolution of the video it can capture.

Otherwise, you’re paying an extra $120-$240 for the most useful features.

The voice control is fairly useful, too.

Say, “Turn cabin camera off,” and it will stop recording.

Just want to turn off the sound?

Say “microphone off.”

All hands-free and easy to activate and deactivate.

Is NextBase iQ Dashcam Worth a Purchase?

The great thing, though, is that it just works.

It’s all pretty useful without being distracting.
