Introducing Nextbase Piqo: Compact Powerhouse Dash Cam for Enhanced Driver Protection
Nextbase, a global leader in dash cam innovation, has launched its smallest model yet: the Piqo. Priced from $129.99 USD / $179.99 CAD, this compact dash cam delivers Nextbase’s renowned image quality, packed with essential safety features and a new user-friendly app designed to protect drivers on the road.
Available in two models, the Piqo 1K (Full Ultra-Wide HD/1080p) and Piqo 2K (Quad HD/1440p), both versions offer superior image clarity, collision-locked footage, and connectivity through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The crash-tested ClickMount ensures secure installation, providing peace of mind with every trip. Nextbase’s Emergency SOS technology, backed by 10Hz GPS and G-sense+ technology, sends automatic alerts to emergency services, with precise location details in case of an accident. Both Piqo models incorporate technology first seen in Nextbase’s award-winning iQ dash cam, offering affordable “Lite” versions of core features.
Key Features of the Piqo Include:
- Guardian Mode Lite: Set speed and geofence parameters for additional protection when others drive your vehicle. This mode automatically saves timestamped, GPS-marked footage in response to any triggering events, accessible via the integrated app.
- Witness Mode Lite: Voice-activated sharing of footage with a designated contact in case of an incident, enhancing safety for drivers on the go.
- Emergency SOS: Automatically alerts emergency services with location data in the event of a severe collision, enhancing safety across the entire Nextbase range.
- Voice Control and Smart Parking: Hands-free control keeps drivers focused, while Smart Parking records incidents if your parked car is bumped, alerting you when you’re nearby.
Richard Browning, Nextbase’s Chief Marketing and Sales Officer, noted, “Piqo offers a compact design with sought-after features from our Series 2 models and iQ’s safety technology. With Piqo, driver safety and vehicle security are now more accessible, paired with a simple app and a highly affordable price.”
