That is the standard place to submit dashcam or helmet-cam footage for road traffic incidents. In most cases you will be asked for:

• your witness and contact details
• the date, time, and location of the incident
• a short description of what happened
• the vehicle registration and vehicle details, if you have them
• the video clip itself

If you only send footage once in a while, going straight to the police portal may be perfectly fine.

Dashcam Helper is designed to make that repeat process easier. It does not replace the police portal as the official destination. It helps you prepare the case properly, review it, and then submit through the normal Nextbase route with less friction.

• Saved witness details, so you do not have to keep entering the same contact information for every report.
• A proper case record for the incident, with notes, metadata, and evidence gathered in one place.
• Clip upload and management inside the app, so you are not starting from a blank form each time.
• Extracted frame review, making it easier to inspect the evidence before you submit.
• OCR-assisted plate review to surface likely registration candidates from the footage.
• Automatic vehicle detail suggestions that you can review and correct.
• Strava / GPX-assisted incident time and location filling when ride data is available.
• Portal preview before live submission, so you can check the case before sending it for real.
• Preview screenshots plus readiness checks, which help catch missing details early.
• Less repeated typing into Nextbase forms, because the case data is already prepared.
• Submission diagnostics, including logs, screenshots, and HTML artifacts if the portal flow goes wrong.
• Submission tracking, so you can see what was submitted, when, and what still needs follow-up.
• A clearer work queue, with cases grouped into states like draft, processing, ready to submit, submitted, and needs follow-up.
• Less duplicated effort, because current portal previews are tracked and reused where appropriate.
• A cleaner audit trail if you report incidents regularly rather than occasionally.

If your force is not on that list yet, the standard answer is still to use the force’s own public submission website directly.

Dashcam Helper is most useful for people who submit footage often enough that the admin becomes a chore: regular cyclists, dashcam users, road safety campaigners, or anyone dealing with repeated Operation Snap style reports.

If you only need to submit one clip, the police portal may be enough. If you do this repeatedly, Dashcam Helper can save time and cut down on avoidable mistakes.
