522GW

The following upgrade instructions are in relation to updating the firmware by copying an update file to the SD card

via the supplied USB cable. Our Dash Cams can also be updated via our My Nextbase Connect ® mobile app (Wi-Fi

cameras only) and My Nextbase Player ® (NBDVR222 and above).

Windows

Mac

1. Download the latest version

of firmware for the

NBDVR522GW via the

Support & Downloads page

for your Dash Cam.

Download here

2. The firmware update will be

saved to your PC as a file

called ‘NBDVR522GWA-

RXX.X.zip’ (where XX.X

denotes the version number).

This will usually be located

within the downloads folder

on your computer.

3. Double click on the

downloaded zip file to display

the files that it contains. You

should find two files,

FW522GWA.bin and

LD522GWA.bin.

NOTE: You won’t be able to

open these files on your PC.

4. Click and hold the mouse

button and drag a box around

both files to select them,

then Right click (CTRL & click

if using a mac) on the bin files

inside the zip file and select

the option that says ‘Copy’

Cams Setup Menu and you

will see an option to format

the SD card. Tap this option.

appears within File Explorer/

Finder to view the contents

of the card.

9. Once the contents of the card

are displayed, right click in

the white space and select

the option that says ‘Paste’.

This will copy the files from

your downloaded zip file and

place them onto the SD card

where they can be read by

the Dash Cam.

10. Please ensure that the bin

files are not renamed in

anyway, the update will fail if

the file appears as

FW522GWA(1).bin for

example.

‘FW522GWA.bin’ and

‘LD522GWA.bin’to the Dash

Cam you can now unplug the
