    What to do if I can’t stop recording after turning on ‘motion detection’ on NextBase Dash Cameras?

      If you've turned on 'motion detection' on your NextBase Dash Camera and can't stop the recording, the Dash Camera will start recording whenever motion is detected. To turn off this function, first shut down the Dash Camera and remove the SD card to avoid accidental activation of recording. Then, switch the Dash Camera back on and turn off 'Motion Detection' within the settings menu.

      Align the card with the diagram shown upon the device 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.
