Basic operation. The Dash Cam is set to record video, in files 1 minute in length. This means that each video file is a manageable size should you need to download and send to your insurance company. Eventually your MicroSD card will fill up with video files but don't worry, the camera automatically deletes the oldest file to make space for new recordings. This way you never run out of space and have plenty of driving historical evidence saved. Typically a 16Gb card will store the last 2 hours of driving footage. The Time and Date are automatically set upon the camera from satellite data. They will also update automatically for Daylight Savings Time, again based on the Country selected. Automatic Start / Stop Technology. The Dash Cam senses power supplied to the cigarette lighter socket as soon as the vehicle ignition is turned on and will start to record automatically. When the ignition is turned off, the Dash Cam will perform an automatic shutdown process. 1. Tips for capturing best video footage:
1.1 Position the Dash Cam in the centre of the windscreen and ideally behind the rear view mirror so it is not an obstruction to the driver's field of view 1.2 Reduce the amount of sky in the picture, by angling the view of the camera towards the road. Too much sky will make the road appear darker due to the automatic exposure compensation. 1.3 Remove unnecessary items from your dashboard. If objects are placed on your dashboard these can cause reflections to be seen on the windscreen and these reflections may be captured during recording. 2. Tips for stable memory card performance:
2.1 Periodically format the memory card. Every 2-3 weeks we recommend that you reformat the memory card. This will wipe any files from the card and set it up afresh for continued use with your Dash Cam. Of course, you should only do this AFTER you've downloaded any files from the card that you may want to keep, as formatting the card will remove all content. 2.1 Format your memory card using the Dash Cam, this will make sure that the card is structured specifically for your camera. 2.2 Switch off the Dash Cam before removing or inserting the SD memory card, to prevent the chance of damage being caused to the memory card or the files stored upon it. 3 USING CCTV IN A COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT When using the NEXTBASE 380GW in a commercial vehicle you must ensure that you comply with any applicable legislation set out by the Government in your location. The following guide is written for usage of the product in the UK. UK requirements include but are not limited to the Data Protection Act, the CCTV Code of Practice and the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice. A simple CCTV Compliance Checklist is included upon the Software Disk included with the NEXTBASE 380GW. Additional supporting documents are also included to help Data Controllers comply with applicable legislation. Example Policy and Procedure documents are also supplied (in editable Word document format) so that you can amend them to suit your business. CCTV Compliance Checklist Steps 1. The CCTV Code of Practice states that there should be a pressing need for a camera to be installed in your vehicle as using cameras can be privacy intrusive. You should ensure that you have identified a clear need for a camera to be installed (e.g. For the purpose of driver and passenger safety) 2. You must have a designated Data Controller who will be responsible for ensuring data is recorded correctly and securely as well as ensuring all Operators are aware of all relevant policies and procedures regarding the use of with the Information Commission's Office (ICO). This can be done by visiting www.ico.org.uk. The Data Controller must register Dash Cams. Data controllers will usually be organisations, but can be individuals, for example self-employed consultants. Even if an individual is given responsibility for data protection in an organisation, they will be acting on behalf of the organisation, which will be the data controller. 3. The CCTV Code of practice states that you must let people know when they are in an area where a surveillance system is in operation. Supplied with your product are three 'CCTV Window Stickers' (shown below) for this purpose. To comply with Surveillance Camera Legislation, the above window stickers should be located on all entrance points to your vehicle. Continued on next page. 4 USING CCTV IN A COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT (CONTD.) 4. Using a suitable permanent marker pen please add contact details for CCTV / Data controller, before applying stickers to your vehicles windows 5. The Data Controller is responsible for ensuring that all Dash Cam operators/drivers are aware of their responsibilities regarding the data being recorded. Included in the NEXTBASE Policy and Procedure Examples Folder on the Software Disk is an Operator/Driver Briefing Checklist, to help the Data Controller monitor this. 6. The company should have clear, documented policies regarding all aspects of data being recorded and stored. These are covered individually later in the checklist. An example of a CCTV Recording Policy is included in the NEXTBASE Policy and Procedure Examples Folder on the Software Disk. 7. All Operators/Drivers should know where to find company policies and procedures for using the Dash Cam. This is covered in the Operator/Driver Briefing Checklist. 8. The Data Controller must state how long data is to be stored by the company. The CCTV Code of Practice states that data should be deleted once it is no longer needed. An example of a CCTV Data Storage Policy is included in the NEXTBASE Policy and Procedure Examples Folder on the Software Disk. 9. The Data Controller should specify how data is deleted once it is no longer needed. This is also covered in the CCTV Data Storage Policy example, on the Software Disk. 10. The Data Controller should decide who has access to stored data. This is also covered in the CCTV Data Storage Policy example on the Software Disk. 11. The Data Controller should decide how the company handles a request for access to data it has stored. An example of a CCTV Request for Access Policy is included in the NEXTBASE Policy and Procedure Examples Folder on the Software Disk. Requests for Access can be made by members of the public or from Police forces. Examples of both Public and Police request forms have been included in the NEXTBASE Policy and Procedure Examples Folder on the Software Disk.

As per the installation instructions, you must install the camera so it does NOT obstruct the drivers view of the road, preferably behind the rear view mirror. Whilst the camera clearly needs to view through the windscreen in an area swept by the windscreen wipers, the camera should be installed so as not to intrude significantly within the wiped area. A 40mm intrusion into the green wiped area is the maximum permitted by law. Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of the driver directly, as depicted by the red area in the above illustration. When installing the Dash Cam in a vehicle, always place the device securely against the windscreen and where possible conceal the power cable under trim. Make sure that the Dash Cam power cable does not interfere with the drivers operating controls, such as the steering wheel, pedals or gear levers. Do NOT mount the Dash Cam in front of an airbag field of deployment or in a position to obscure any mirrors. Clean the windscreen at the point of location, prior to fitting the Dash Cam, to ensure absolute adhesion. It is recommended NOT to operate the Dash Cam whilst driving. The automatic Start-Stop technology incorporated within the device negates any need to operate the controls whilst driving. Note:
- Adjust any settings or review recordings using the Cam Viewer APP, whilst stationery, not whilst driving.
- Only use your smartphone / tablet whilst stationery, not whilst driving. For Help and Support please call 02920 866 429 29 ANTI-TAMPER SECURITY INSTALLATION This allows the Dash Cam to be setup for 'Authorised use only', therefore preventing un-authorised operation, or removal of the camera. Three elements of anti-tamper security are available, which can be used individually or all together, as required. This is a three stage process, using the supplied Security Pack:
2x Locking covers 2x Anti-tamper screws (machined screws for use with the locking covers) 1x Anti-tamper screw (self-tapping screw for use with cable lock) 2x Dust caps Security screwdriver 1. Cable lock The cable lock can be secured to the mount. This prevents the car adaptor or hardwire kit power plug from being disconnected from the mount and hence stopping the recording. Once the car adaptor or hardwire kit have been connected to the mount and the cable lock has been located correctly, use 1x anti-tamper screw (self-tapping screw) to secure the cable lock to the mount. Tighten the screw until the head is flush with the top surface and do NOT overtighten. anti-tamper screw (self-tapping) Made in China 30 ANTI-TAMPER INSTALLATION (CONTD.) 2. Camera to Mount locking screw The camera can be secured to the mount to prevent un-authorised removal. Remove the two side covers to gain access to the camera to mount locking screws, these are found on both sides of the camera. With the camera attached to the mount and using the supplied security screwdriver, loosen the two anti-tamper screws, taking care NOT to remove them fully. Slide the anti-tamper screws down into the locked position and then re-tighten. Reset Reset unlocked position locked position 3. Locking covers Replace the normal side covers with the two locking covers and secure them to the camera using the anti-tamper screws (machined screws). Anti-tamper screw

When the memory card becomes full, the oldest file will be automatically deleted to make space for the new recording. Options: 1 Minute, 2 Minutes and 3 Minutes Default Setting: 1 Minute 6. Parking Mode There are two methods of using parking Mode, which one used is dependent on whether you are using a Permanent Live or Switched Live. Permanent live:
This means that there is always 12Vdc being supplied to the Dash Cam. This can either by using a 12Vdc outlet that does not power off when the vehicles ignition is turned off or by using the Nextbase Hardwire Kit which has been installed using a permanent live fuse location. Once Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam will enter standby mode when there is no physical movement detected for a 5 minute period. Switched live:
This method requires the Nextbase 380 battery pack to provide power to the Dash Cam, as when the vehicles ignition is turned off the 12Vdc outlet will no longer supply power to the Dash Cam. Note:
- Without the 380 battery pack installed Parking Mode will NOT function upon a switched live power supply. When Parking Mode has been turned on, the Dash Cam enters standby mode when the 12Vdc supply has been turned off. Once activated Parking Mode functions in the same way for both Switched and Permanent power supplies:-
Should physical movement of the vehicle be detected, the Dash Cam will power on and start recording a 1 minute protected video. If no further physical movement is detected then the Dash Cam will return to standby mode. If physical movement is detected, then the camera will continue to record normally, until no physical movement detected for a 5 minute period, at which point the Dash Cam will return to standby mode. 40 DASH CAM SETTINGS (CONTD.)

Mass Storage Mode (Windows and Mac) This mode is used to view, edit and share recordings using NEXTBASE Replay 3 playback software on your computer. Note:
- Mass Storage mode is read-only, this means that content on the SD card can only be read, not updated or erased. Update Mode (Windows and Mac) This is used to Update the firmware on your Dash Cam, using NEXTBASE Replay 3. Please see details within the NEXTBASE Replay 3 Playback software for more information. Note:
- Update mode is read+write, this means that content on the SD card can be updated and erased. This in turn lets NEXTBASE Replay 3 write the new firmware to the SD card, allowing the automatic update to take place. Connecting the Dash Cam to your computer The USB socket is located on the left had side of the Dash Cam, underneath the removable side cover. The side cover may or may not be screwed down, depending on how you have chosen to setup the Dash Cam. Once the side cover has been removed, connect the supplied USB cable to the Dash Cam and then to your computer. Do NOT connect the USB cable to the Powered Mount. Once connected the Dash Cam will power on and automatically enter Mass Storage mode, this can be identified by the Protect Button flashing red. To connect the Dash Cam in Update mode, press and hold the Protect button during connection. of the USB cable. Release the button once the Wi-Fi button flashes blue. Note:
- ALWAYS turn off the Dash Cam before disconnecting from your computer. 45 TROUBLE SHOOTING The mount will not stay in place upon my windscreen. PROBLEM SOLUTION Ensure that the red protective cover (plastic film) has been removed from the mount pad. Make sure that the glass is smooth and clean. Press the mount firmly to the glass ensuring that there is 100%
contact with the glass. This can easily be seen from outside the windscreen, as contact area of the pad turns a darker colour. If the mount pad has lost it's sticky qualities, change the pad for the spare item contained within the box. MicroSD card are very small and require delicate use. Align the card with the diagram shown upon the Dash Cam and insert the card until you feel a slight spring resistance. You now need to push the card, using your finger nail, until you hear and feel a small latch. Release pressure and the card will stay retained within the device. Use the edge of a small coin if you have difficulty. With the card previously installed, you now need to push the card further inwards slightly, using your finger nail, until you hear and feel a small latch. Use the edge of a small coin if you have difficulty. Release pressure and the card will spring out sufficiently for you to take hold of it. I cannot insert the MicroSD card. I cannot remove the MicroSD card. I can only record a few minutes of video on my MicroSD card. Replace the Class 10 type MicroSD card with a new quality branded card. Max 128GB. Ensure to format the new SD card from within the Dash Cam. I cannot save files to the memory card when the Dash Cam is connected to my computer under Mass Storage mode. No power to my Dash Cam, but it works upon my PC. Correct, the Dash Cam is a 'read-only' device. It is not recommenced to save files from other sources to the same memory that you will use for recording within the Dash Cam, as these may have a negative effect on the performance of the Dash Cam. The cigarette power cable is not working. Inspect the fuse in the Car Power plug. Replacement fuse = 2A 20mm type. If the fuse is found to be blown, inspect the power cable for damage which may have caused the fuse to blow. My Dash Cam shuts down by itself after a while. Either the battery has gone flat, there is no power to the Dash Cam and the Auto Power Off has been triggered or Parking Mode has been turned on and no vehicle movement has been detected for 5 minutes. The battery will not charge. The battery only last 30 seconds. Ensure that the 380 Battery Pack is in fact installed !
The battery pack is an accessory available separately. Ensure the Dash Cam is connected to a reliable power source and that the supplied Car Power Cable is being used, with the Power LED lit. The charging LED is blue and indicates whether the battery is being supplied with power, in order to charge. The battery will only receive charge when the Dash Cam is connected to power, please reconnect the car adaptor or domestic USB charger and leave the Dash Cam to charge. Charging takes approximately 90 minutes and a full charge is indicated when the BLUE (charging) LED goes out. 46 TROUBLE SHOOTING (CONTD.) PROBLEM The battery only lasts 15 minutes. The Dash Cam cannot lock onto satellite. I get the announcement Card Error. Please format SD card. SOLUTION This is normal, the battery is primarily for use with Parking Mode on a switched live power supply and NOT intended as an alternative power source to replace the supplied car adaptor. After power on and with the device mounted with clear view of the sky it can take up to 10 minutes to find the three satellites required to achieve a stable signal. Reception can also be affected by atmospheric conditions and the proximity of buildings / trees obscuring the sky. The SD card has been formatted in another device and the Cluster Size is not compatible. There may also be an error on the card. Use the Setup option within the APP to re-format the SD card from in the Dash Cam. Ensure that the SD card is a Class10 type SD card of 8-128GB The SD card in my Dash Cam cannot be read. Use a good quality branded SD card between 8GB and 128GB Class 10 and format the card from within the Setup Menu of the APP. I can't delete files on my SD card within the Dash Cam. Check to see if these files are 'protected', if so please follow instructions to 'un-protect' the files within the APP. Mass Storage function does not work. The Mass storage function will work on both Windows and Mac. Restart the PC, as this may be required for the necessary driver to be loaded correctly. Disconnect and reconnect the Dash Cam. Contact NEXTBASE for the required driver. Video files cannot be played. The video files from the Dash Cam are in .MOV format and may not be compatible with your PC if suitable playback software is not installed. Install the Nextbase Replay 3 playback software which is freely available from www.Nextbase.co.uk Video Image is blurred. Video file playback is jumpy. Remove the protective lens cover and check that the Dash Cam field of view does NOT include any painted section of the windscreen. Clean the lens, clean the windscreen!
Reformat the SD card to remove non-contiguous files. For best recording use a quality branded Class 10 SD card of 8 to 128GB recommended size. PC may not be sufficient for the playback task, try a different PC. Copy the recorded video files onto the PC / Mac for playback directly rather than use the Dash Cam as a card reader. Reduce the resolution of the recording within the Dash Cam and record some new files to test if this is the problem. The sound is not synchronised with video during playback. The Codecs upon your PC may not be compatible or the latest standard. Download the latest Codecs from: www.nextbase.com 47

TROUBLE SHOOTING (CONTD.) PROBLEM Video has no sound. I have turned on 'Parking Mode' and now can't stop the recording. SOLUTION Ensure that Audio Recording setting is turned ON within the Setup menu of the Dash Cam. The Dash Cam will start a recording whenever motion is detected. To turn off Parking Mode firstly shutdown the Dash Cam and remove the SD card, this will avoid recording being activated accidentally. Switch the Dash Cam On and connect to your mobile device using the Cam Viewer APP. Within the Dash Cam Setup Menu, turn off the 'Parking Mode'. When I get in to my car, the Dash Cam is already recording and the file is protected. This is normal. Parking Mode has been switched on and the Dash Cam has sensed vibration and has started to record correctly. Parking mode can be turned off within the Setup, Video menu if required. The time on my Dash Cam is wrong and when I adjust the time manually, it keeps changing. The Dash Cam sets the time based upon the country which has been selected and also whether Daylight Savings time is currently in force. Please verify the Country setting within the Cam Viewer APP Setup menu is correct. The Time Zone can be set manually, if the Dash Cam is to be used outside the listed countries. Downloading files from www.nextbase.com using Google Chrome results in a Malicious Software message. My Mobile Device will not connect to my Dash Cam. This is not a cause for concern, simply go to the settings within Google Chrome and turn off the malicious software protection temporarily to download and install the playback software. Reinstate previous Google Chrome settings thereafter. Please ensure that you have turned the Dash Cam Wi-Fi Mode on by pressing the Wi-Fi button until it starts to flash. When Wi-Fi Mode is turned on the Blue Wi-Fi button will either flash when waiting for a connection, or be solid blue once connected to your mobile device. The NEXTBASE Cam Viewer app will not open. Please uninstall the NEXTBASE Cam Viewer app and re-download again from your devices App Store. Ensure that the Dash Cam is in Wi-Fi Mode and that your mobile device has connected to the Dash Cam Wi-Fi network. Please restart your mobile device and reconnect to the Dash Cam Wi-Fi network, then re-open the Cam Viewer App. When I open the NEXTBASE Cam Viewer App I get a message saying 'Please Check Device'. When I try to play back a file from my Dash Cam I get a message saying 'Buffering' or a spinning circle, but the video does not load. 48 TROUBLE SHOOTING (CONTD.) PROBLEM SOLUTION I have forgotten my password for the Wi-Fi connection. The password is a primary measure to ensure the privacy of your recordings and to prevent misuse of the Dash Cam. If the password has been changed from default and then forgotten, then the Dash Cam will need to have new firmware installed to reset the password (and all other settings) back to the defaults. Visit www.nextbase.co.uk for product firmware and instructions upon how to perform the update. Reset the Dash Cam to the Default Settings within the Setup Menu and try again. Should the problem persist call the helpline (02920) 866429 or email: support@nextbase.com Unresolved issues. 49 NOTES www.nextbase.com NBDVR380GW-IM-ENG-R3 Caution:

Portable Multimedia Limited Date: 5/24/2022 To: Federal Communications Commission 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD To Whom It May Concern:
We, Portable Multimedia Limited, state that our device, FCC ID: 2AOT9-NBDVR380GW-B, has a battery, but the battery will not be placed in the battery compartment when delivery, the label is visible to the users as they purchase the products and install the battery. The back cover can be moved away, there is not enough space to print FCC ID label in surface of products, so the label has to be placed in battery compartment. Sincerely, Signature
