NEXTBASE 212 DASH-CAM – CRAP!
The biggest gripe with this product was the ridiculously large 3-4 inches long hard wired into cable to cigarette lighter connector which is contrary to the smaller Tom Tom type with a USB slot and much shorter version as PROMOTED and shown on argos page.

This stupidly large connection interfered with the gearbox lever that would hit it when put into park (auto gearbox), and would have eventually broke the connection cable or broken my cigar lighter mounting .
I was also disapointed to read that its advised that the memory should be formatted every 2-3 weeks as its stated in manual, which is not any different from cheaper makes available elsewhere or even on Ebay!
At present I have to format after around 4 hours of driving which is or should be expected from a 32GB Class 10.
Its also promoted as being magnetic - but where, may i ask is this magnet and where is it?
Its not on connector to windscreen suction cup as it slides into notches - NOT MAGNETIC.
Everything else was straightforward but operated no differently to one I already have purchased for £15 last year, on Ebay of all places. So returned for a refund - Thank You Argos for excellent service as always.
The one thing it had that may have been a godsend was a motion detector that sensed any abrupt motions and partitioned that section until I manually erased it, or used to send to insurance Co.
