Nextbase, a leading name in automotive imaging technology, has introduced its newest dash cam lineup at CES 2025. The 385GW and 385GWX models are designed to provide cutting-edge protection and convenience, building on the success of the Nextbase 380GW, which has become a popular OEM solution for brands like Toyota, Lexus, and Volkswagen.
Sleek Design Meets High-Performance Recording
The Nextbase 385GW ($449 USD / $499 CAN MSRP) offers crisp 2K resolution at 1440p, ensuring drivers capture every detail on the road. For those needing a more comprehensive view, the 385GWX ($549 USD / $649 CAN MSRP) adds a 1080p rear camera to enable dual-view recording. Both models integrate seamlessly into vehicles with discreet installation options, making them a strong contender for drivers looking to upgrade safety without sacrificing aesthetics.
Advanced Features for Modern Drivers
Nextbase continues to innovate with features designed to make life easier for drivers while enhancing road safety. Highlights of the 385GW series include:
- Guardian Mode Lite: Tracks vehicle speed and location and records timestamped, GPS-tagged footage if specific thresholds are breached. Family members or fleet owners can monitor activity via the Nextbase app when connected to local WiFi.
- Witness Mode Lite: Whether it’s road rage or a bad situation, this voice-activated feature captures everything happening in front of your car when triggered, and instantly notifies a designated emergency contact letting them know you need help.
- Smart Parking: Detects and records incidents when the vehicle is parked and notifies the owner once they’re nearby again.
These features are built on Nextbase’s award-winning Protection Platform, first introduced last year. The platform is tailored to integrate with automotive manufacturers, demonstrating the company’s commitment to safety and connectivity.
Collaboration with the Automotive Industry
Nextbase Automotive, the division dedicated to working directly with manufacturers, continues to solidify the company’s role in the industry. With partnerships spanning Lexus, Ford, and Volkswagen, the 385GW series exemplifies the synergy between Nextbase’s technological expertise and the automotive sector’s evolving needs.
Richard Browning, Chief Marketing and Sales Officer at Nextbase, highlighted the importance of collaboration: “The 385GW showcases our focus on equipping the automotive industry with reliable, innovative safety solutions. It provides value for manufacturers, dealers, and drivers alike while meeting the design and engineering standards expected by our partners.”
The all-new 385GW and 385GWX designed for vehicle manufacturers and dealers and will be available for purchase and installation in early 2025.
