Nextbase iQ 4K Smart Dash Cam (Front + Rear)
Connected smart dash cam: 4K front + 1440p rear with built-in 4G LTE, live view, Emergency SOS, Guardian remote alerts and Roadwatch AI security while parked.
Quick verdict
The aspirational halo of the lineup — a smart guardian that streams live and can call for help on impact. The connected/SOS angle sells protection well beyond plain loop footage.
Who it's for
Premium and security-minded owners, remote-monitoring buyers, parents tracking teen drivers, anyone who parks in the open overnight.
Key features
- 4K front + 1440p rear, built-in 4G LTE + live streaming, Emergency SOS
What to know before you buy
- Flagship pricing above the typical band, and the best features (LTE live streaming, extended cloud) need a paid subscription. Overkill for basic recording.
