This next-gen 4k resolution dashcam system delivers cutting-edge security features—and plenty more. Nextbase iQ offers “Witness Mode,” a voice-activated hands-free recording function that saves footage to the cloud and can notify an emergency contact of a stressful situation involving police or another driver. 4G LTE connectivity offers real-time global access via the iQ app, so you can rest easy while out of town. If there is a problem, you’ll be notified 24/7 because iQ is always on. In the event of a collision, the dashcam automatically moves into SOS Mode, alerting 911. The barrier of entry into new car innovation is high, says Nextbase’s Richard Browning, who expects a product launch in early 2023. IQ gives anyone the “higher level of innovation they should have.”
