Comments on Cam Viewer for Android

★★★★☆ K P · Oct 15, 2025

To everyone having trouble connecting their dash cams to a smartphone: check if you have the latest firmware on your dash cam! Initially, I couldn't connect mine to my smartphone, but then I realized it was running old software (version 3.5), so installed the new version (6.5). It was a very easy process, the new software and instructions are on the Next base website. Now it works great! The app is okay but not ideal; I can only share the videos. I can't download them directly to my phone.

Great app but follow instructions below. First don't use the pc cable. Leave the cam connected in the vehicle, use a card reader instead. Then after backing up any footage format the sd card, download the latest firmware and then copy BOTH of bin files named FW and LD onto the card then put the card back into the cam switch it on and wait for flashing red lights this shows it's updating. When it powers up and is ready try to connect the app. It worked for me.

Early days as just had my Next Base dashcam fitted recently, but the app seems to provide video downloads from the camera ok. However, experienced problems resetting the password with the app, then finding I couldn't connect to the dashcam at all. Solution was to forget the Next Base Wi-Fi on phone, reset the dashcam, and reinstall from scratch. Don't know if this was a problem with the app, the dashcam or interface between them, but all quite stressful for someone with limited tech-savvy!

Frustrating beyond belief! The app won't connect to the camera most of the time and when it finally does, it disconnects again within seconds. Next base camera is pretty useless at picking up movement with its sensors, and I had zero footage of serious vandalism. Currently, I have been trying and failing to connect to my cam for 2 days, and it says connection failed each time. This is after a road rage incident and police want the footage! Do not buy Next base. I wasted £450

This App doesn't work properly as it should. Tried to connect to dash cam though Wi-Fi, but does not show the network in app.

★☆☆☆☆ Nico Segal · Dec 24, 2025

Rubbish app which does not connect to a dealer approved dashcam. I have tried 10 times to connect the app to the camera. It can't find it! Come on next base you can do better than to publish a flaky app. Garmin apps on the other hand have been great with their products... btw. the device has the latest firmware.
