Nextbase has revealed that the Nextbase iQ, the next generation of in-car security and driver assistance, will launch in spring 2023.
Furthermore, following the announcement last year that Vodafone will provide connectivity in the UK – Nextbase will work in partnership with T-Mobile to offer connectivity for the product in North America.
Designed to fast-track next-generation connected-car technology, the Nextbase iQ transforms the driver experience, making any vehicle smarter, safer and more secure.
Leveraging the very latest AI-powered technology and offering real-time access from anywhere at any time through the iQ app, Nextbase is transcending the dash cam category with the introduction of this ground-breaking smart product.
Nextbase iQ delivers all the safety and security that consumers expect from the best smart home-monitoring systems, but now in their car. Drivers will be able to receive real-time alerts and access incident video even when they are away from their vehicle, plus a whole lot more.
Bryn Brooker, Head of Road Safety and Head of Marketing at Nextbase said, “We’ve been working on this revolutionary product for some years now, and we’re taking the market to whole new level with a more complete and genuinely smart product that goes above and beyond what is expected of a dash cam.
“We’re offering drivers something genuinely brand-new and innovative to make their journeys safer; we’re protecting car owners with Nextbase iQ and we can’t wait to see it in action on Britain’s roads and around the world.”

The Nextbase iQ has a completely new product design, informed by extensive research and development to capture the best image quality and vehicle security views in the industry.
And, in response to increasing on-road incidents (e.g., road rage, traffic stops) and driver anxiety, Nextbase iQ offers Witness Mode, a voice-activated, instant-on recording feature that automatically saves to the cloud and shares with an emergency contact or other designated third party (e.g., spouse, parent) in real-time, ensuring you never face a stressful situation on the road alone.
