Wi-Fi password for Series 1 Dash Cams
Series 1 models (300W, 312GW, 380GW, 380GWX, 412GW, 512GW, 612GW, Duo HD, Mirror) use the default password: 12345678
This password appears on the camera screen when in Wi-Fi mode. (300W, 380GW, 380GWX lack screens but still use this password.)
Models with no password needed
Series 2 and newer (322GW, 422GW, 522GW, 622GW, Piqo, 385) automatically generate passwords via the MyNextbase Connect or Nextbase app. No manual password entry required.
Can the Wi-Fi password be changed?
The password can only be changed on the 380GW and 380GWX models, as these cameras can have their Wi-Fi signal left on during normal recordings. All other models cannot have Wi-Fi password changed, for these models there is no need to change the password, as only one connection at a time is permitted and the Dash Cam has to be in Wi-Fi mode which needs to be manually activated.
Extra tips
Check camera screen for password display when Wi-Fi activates on applicable models.
Disable other Wi-Fi devices nearby during pairing to avoid interference.
Troubleshooting
If you are receiving a 'Wrong Password' error, confirm you're using 12345678 exactly (8 digits, no spaces). Restart Wi-Fi mode on camera if the issue persists.
If the cameras Wi-Fi is not visible, ensure the Wi-Fi mode has been manually activated and there are no other Wi-Fi connections that could be interfering. Disable VPNs/Antivirus whilst trying the connection.
If your password works but disconnects, make sure the camera is powered on and in range, remove any other Wi-Fi connections, avoid CarPlay/Android Auto during setup.
