After 6 month of usageReviewed in the United States
Problems i found with this camera after about 6 month, I live in Las Vegas, the summer is scorching hot, when it's hot the suction cup doesn't stick to the windshield. The color appear more purple, it's a little annoying, but not a big deal since the purpose is to record potential mishap on the road. The swivel got loose, and there's no way to tighten it.

The product is every bit as good as I read. But just as impressive is the customer service. They provided me with immediate responses for me to use this properly. Luckily, I bought the product during a promotional offer. Best to mount this to the right of the rear view mirror to get better angle of driver's side window (should you be stopped) and keep the windshield less obstructed.

Excellent image quality and easy to use. I reported and issued with the suction cup and got a new one right away. Excellent Guarantee

Stopped working working in less than 2 years. Video freezes after start up and menu buttons inop after reset.

Been watching this camera reading reviews and youtube videos. Bought a cheaper camera only to get bad videos which were not clear and the night vision was terrible. Bought this one installed it the same day it arrive and I love the clear video and night time recordings. Excellent camera with the double view recording. Using it for everyday driving and monitor my kids cell phone use when I let them use the car.

Bought July 2020 and installed as instructed using a gift quality SD card. Unfortunately got in accident a few months after. Pressed the button to save the file but guess what, this is the second tragedy, no video files. I had to email VanTrue support asking what happened and all they tell me is to update the firmware.This is an expensive piece of garbage and buy something that works out of the box.

The product was easy to install, the user interface is easy to understand, and the picture quality is excellent!

This is my first dashcam. It couldn't be simpler to set up. It is intuitive. The image clarity is fantastic. The price is very fair for the quality. Bonus on mine is that I can plug it into my 2016.5 Mazda CX-5 cigarette lighter and it remains on (no need to hardwire) for short stops between destinations. I don't know that I'd leave it this way overnight but I don't think I'd ever do that anyway. I can update this review after using for some time. I will be using it in a long trip soon. So far I am very pleased with this unit. I did purchase a 256mb Vantrue SD card to go along with the unit. A Samsung card would also work according to the owner's manual.

I’ve had mine for almost a year now and it works great. 100% recommend. They do take certain SD cards but they are affordable. Camera quality and night vision is very good.

The camera I received and the battery is not working and there are large breaks between each clip
Vantrue Customer
I purchased two of these cameras about a year ago. I recently got into an accident (we rear-ended another car). We were very disappointed to find out that even though the blue light was flashing and everything seemed fine all this time, the camera did not record the event, and has not been recording ANY VIDEO for months, and the date/time had reset to 1/1/2016. I immediately went and checked my other dash can in our second car and the exact same thing was happening there! Please note that we did purchase the memory card that Vantrue recommended to us (Samsung EVO 32GB).Even worse, Vantrue does not respond to emails for technical support after repeated attempts to get assistance for this. Can NOT recommend this product!!

The camera is TRASH! It will drain your car battery OR a battery bank overnight (depending on how you install the dash cam).Recently, I connected it to a 10,000 mAh battery bank and even with the camera in parking mode it drained the dashcam COMPLETELY overnight. This is outrageous and disgraceful battery usage and performance and makes the dashcam utterly WORTHLESS! I'm amazed the reviews are as high as they are, frankly.

I love it and wish they give the GPS part with it and wifi also.

It's pretty good, but could be better. Battery didn't last for 2 years.Reviewed in the United States
There a few issues minor I have with the unit:The battery starting going bad after a year, before 2 years the date and time kept resetting because of the failed battery. It's not easily replaceable and soldered to the board, I did change it but for many people it will be a disposable camera with under a 2 year life. The suction cup mount did fall off unexpectly, then you have a dash cam hanging in your face when your driving. Then the mount is really large, even bigger with the gps add-on, so you can't get the camera up high on the windshield, it's always kind of in the way. The gps should be built in the camera body, that would give more mounting options like a mirror mount so you don't need the suction base. You can get an aftermarket adhisive mount with build in gps that's much smaller and better then using the suction mount.It only records in 1080 if using front and rear cameras, and you can't set it lower then 1080 to save filespace. I don't really need 1080 on the rear facing camera 720 would have been fine. The parking mode is overly sensitive, it will record rain falling all night, a bee landing on the windshield or a bird flying by 50 ft away. Video quality is just average, I have another camera that was half the price with a better image and uses a much lower bitrate (more hours of video per card).

Absolutely love. Exactly what I was looking for in a dash camera and more. Super easy to use too! Great customer service too!!!

REALLY easy to set-up. Front and rear cameras. Very clear videos with high quality capture. I almost got side-swiped the day after I installed it...SO GLAD that I did! Definitely get the Samsung SD Card...the cheap ones won't work. 5-Stars!

Wish I could have liked this VanTrue Dash Cam onDash N2 Pro. It has great features. The picture is clear and the versatility of the camera is many. But when I used it for about a week, it would shut down arbitrarily. It was not the feature of the screen going blank while still recording. It just shut down. I tried everything I could. I plugged it into at least two outlets in the car with no success. Returning it today.
JDS
I've had mine for a couple of weeks now and I love it. It has very clear videos and pictures. This is the best dash cam I have ever used and I would definitely recommend it to Everyone!!
Cookie monster
benefits. WORTH the price..cheesy and the puc is the size of an Ant.So forget about seeing you pic...let alone 2 or 3.The screen is to small.plus the instalation is $125 from a pro. Mech. Total cast almost $300 bucks....not worth it at ALL.GO for a larger screen and a cheaper cam.
Entropy
This is great to have full coverage when driving. Also, helpful insurance when something happens on the road. Great product!

For the first year or so the camera aspect worked alright. The resolution claims to be 1080p, it may output in 1080p but it is definitely not high quality. You can barely read a license plate unless they are within 2-3 feet of your front bumper.Starting in 2020 the dates started to be listed incorrectly, the SD card needs to be reformatted often. Sometimes videos will be stuck in nightmode during the day, then randomly switch to color mode. I've had it stuck on before(it has a small battery, I have it wired in so it will cut power when key is off) and it records video with static buzz audio. The firmware has a short max length, it can loop but it's a pain to have so many videos to open.The SD needs to be formatted often because sometimes it will corrupt videos that will not be looped or a section of videos will just not be deleted and permanently left on the card, reducing the space. I've tried other cards and get the same result, I use mainly samsung and PNY. If you go on a long drive and encounter something you need the footage from early on; by the time you get home it may have already looped over. You won't even know until you pull the footage.

While the screen is very small, the quality of the the image when you down load it is super. I am very impressed with it. I have another dash cam that I have had for several months and this one is heads and shoulders above that. Plus their support is super also. Have sent off a question before and they are back in 24 hours with an answer. I tried out a Garmin Duo dash cam and while the design was super there software SUCKED!! Very disappointed in Garmin. They need to improve on their software.

[2nd Update]Conntacted customer service and they were very helpful .. I'm changing my rating to five stars for excellent customer support and communication .. Thank you----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[Purchase Update]I purchased this DashCam back in March 2019 and was happy with it until the internal battery DIED in September 2020! So it lasted about 18 months only! It is almost useless now without functioning battery! Date and time keep resetting every time the engine shuts-off!! I also found some video clips corrupted due to sudden power cut-off ..I tried to charge it with external power adapter for few hours but nothing changed!I contacted customer support and they told that there is nothing they can do!!Be aware of this issue! Probably with all Vanture DashCams line up assuming they use the same battery cell for all their products ..

Great low profile dashcam for reasonable price tag. Bought second N2 Pro for my other car after I found out it was on sale. I bought the 10ft OBD hardwire charger cable and it works great with N2 Pro. Luckily, didn’t have to use any video clips, but if something happens, I know for sure I am covered. Probably good idea to have separate dashcam for the rear, I believe N4 has separate rear cam, maybe for my next one.
Frank Paris
This camera is simple to use and has a wonderful quality to the video and images. It records forward out of the windshield and inside the car. Plus, records auto. I cannot wait to add the GPS unit to it and record trips, MPH, etc. This product comes highly recommended and it worth the price.
XiaoEn
I bought this camera a couple years ago. Works fine but it doesn't loop record even though I have it set up right. I need to reformat the card every week or so. Also when the temp is below 35, the image recorded is distorted and I have to unplug it, wait till it shuts down then plug it back in again.
Hiep Thanh Duong
Easy to setup. 2 cameras in 1 small lightweight device. Amazing day and night vision quality on both cameras. The camera is adjustable many ways, snaps quickly into it's holder unlike some of the others which takes to screw in.

Very impressive! The best dash cam out there. Amazed at how easy the setup is and how great the camera quality is. Vantrue has great customer service and has been easy to work with. Highly recommend.
Jack
Pulled the card out today to look for footage of an accident, yet it didn't have it. It did have footage from earlier today and earlier in the year. If it doesn't capture everything and I can't see everything from the last couple of days, what is the purpose of running it? Also, the dates are all over the place - I couldn't trust them for reviewing footage and instead had to open up every single video file!
B.P.
VERY DISAPPOINTED. I PURCHASED TWO CAMERAS AND BOTH STOPPED WORKING WITH 30 DAYS. REQUESTED REFUND FROM MANUFACTURER. WAIT TO HEAR BACK.
Jorge Torrez
the camera never worked, the battery never charged, no manual, no quick manual, no usb 3F cable, the box was incomplete, I don't know how they dare to sell something like this defective and incomplete
JP
Okay, I didn't feel this product deserved only one star so I gave it 2. I admit when I unboxed this camera I was impressed. You can tell it's not a cheap camera. However as I got more into the setup process I began to dislike the Vantrue N2 Pro and the way it was designed.What really makes this camera a turd is after only 5 days of use the night vision stopped working on me completely. I made it pitch black in the car and nothing. I know I didn't push anything by accident because it's hardwired to my ignition with the Vantrue car wiring kit. It's recording bit you can't see anything inside the car.#1 I really can't stand how small they made the viewing screen mixed with the fact that your inside facing camera picture covers your front facing camera display way to much. I found this makes it very hard to properly aim the forward facing camera.#2 it was difficult to handle the camera without touching the camera lenses screen or pushing buttons. I do admit I got monster man hands but they packed way to much into a small unit.
August Wardrep
Couldn’t be happier with this cam. It’s my first one and I’m confident I made a good choice (for quality and my wallet). I’m a rideshare driver and have never felt so secure. Makes a huge difference to have an extra set of eyes!Thanks a bunch!
R. Callahan
Purchased for use as an Uber and Lyft driver. I did a lot of research before buying and consistently found the N2 Pro to be at the top of the list for a 2 channel(front and interior) dash cam. Only my budget prevented me from buying the N4 . So far I can confirm that this is an excellent piece of kit and feel safer driving knowing I have it onboard. Very discreet unit is easy to get up and running. Highly recommended.

This is an excellent dash cam! I commute about 100 miles a day and I see a lot of stuff in the road. I wanted to get a dash cam so that if something happens, it doesn’t wind up being my word against someone else’s.I also really like it’s parking mode. It starts recording automatically if it senses motion while the car is parked. My hope is that if someone damages my car I’ll have video of the person doing it. That happened to me before I bought this camera and was part of the reason for choosing this one.

The camera is great, and audio is pretty good. I haven't really cared for the rear camera, but it does look pretty awesome and it's videos make an interesting perspective.

My husband said it's easy to use, the price is right, and the installation is also very convenient
Kstudley
I love this dashcam. I only had 1 issue, and they helped out in a reasonable time.I highly recommend this dashcam.
Gary
The camera is small, unobtrusive mounted on the windshield. The video quality is excellent on both forward and rear cameras. The power cable is quite long, so hiding it should be easy.
Hung-Bin
When car engine is turned off, the dash cam will be turned off as well. Unless you buy extra hardware kit to connect your car's power to supply dash cam when car engine is off. Otherwise, the parking mode is not working at all.If you really think parking mode is important for you, then DO BUY IT. Unless you would like to spend some money on buying their hardware kit and spend some time / effort on connecting it to your car and dash cam.

My main problem was not formatting the chip before I used it. After that everything worked great just the way it should inside and out. It takes a long time to download the videos and they take up a lot of space on the computer but the quality is unbeatable. Would highly recommend for rideshare drivers. Well worth the investment and peace of mind.
Hoss
Great product! Make sure the SD card is a UHS-1. The manual recommends the Samsung EVO which I purchased. It was UHS-3 and would not format. In fact the card got hot to the touch. Thanks to the guys at Best Buy In Dothan, AL, they figured it out and I wound up with a Sandisk 128GB that works great. Btw make sure the speed is 10.
Chris
This camera was great when it work. One year later, not so much. My camera doesn’t even record and when I needed it to record it never did. Very frustrating, I don’t want to spend hundreds every year on a dash cam. Was great while it lasted.
Me
Didn't last even a year. Contacted customer service about problems. Replied once, after following up with issues have not heard back. A few months later warranty expired still no word. Stay away. So expensive yet not durable, and fake warranty.
Jalen fetter
Overall this is a great product. Being able to record the road and the cabin of a car is a great idea. You would be able to record accidents for insurance reasons and record possible road rage incidents. I liked the fact that you could choose to record with both cameras on r just the front with improved resolutions. Having 256gb of storage is also a plus. I did order the hardwire kit and while the first kit I received was in fact malfunctioning, Vantrue took care of me and sent out another hardwire kit free of charge. If you want a good product that comes with great customer service, it’s hard not to go with Vantrue.
Corey D Smaltz
I own 2 of these dash cams for my driver's ed cars. They work great for what I need. Gives me peace of mind.
Neil Dbenedetto
First off let me say that this was my first dash cam I have ever purchased. A friend of mine has one and I was amazed that dash cams were a thing so I decided to get one of these last prime day about a year ago. I have been very happy with my purchase. I drive around a lot for work and I am always the designated driver when I go out with the friends so this was something I wanted to buy to capture crazy drivers/people and so on.Pros: The video looks excellent in 1080p 60fps, but also in 1440p 30fps. I really don't need to use the inside camera however so I have never really used it for any reason so I can't comment on the quality. The power cable is easy to hide and route along the edges of the windshield and in car (use a flathead screwdriver to route). I am thinking of permanently attaching it to the car battery, but haven't gotten around to that journey yet. The suction mount is good and holds well. You CAN use Sandisk SD cards regardless of what the manual tells you. I have had a 128gb card in there for a year and I have had no problems with it. The screen is small on the unit, but it looks nice and gets the job done. I see people complaining that their units died within months? I have no idea what they are doing because I have had mine over a year now with no issues and my friend has had his for 2 years and it's going strong. Cheers Vantrue!Cons/Quirks:So there aren't as many cons about this camera as there are quirks.1.If you live in a warm climate area you may come outside to your vehicle and notice that the suction mount has come loose, this is normal. Just put it back up and it should be fine. Kind of a pain in the butt, but it has only happened to me on days where there were no clouds and it was 95 degrees out for the whole day.2. GPS is not built in to the unit itself. You have to purchase a separate unit that replaces the mount to get GPS. Good news, it's very cheap. Like 20 bucks cheap. Trust me it is worth it, EXAMPLE: I got a ticket for going 75 in a 65 and I used the speedometer on my dashcam to show the judge that I was going 65 and not what the officer said I was doing and got out of a ticket. I also used the dashcam footage to show police who was at fault for a wreck that happened in front of me as well. (I love this little dashcam)3. The display screen is small. I wish it were bigger and touchscreen.4. The menus aren't fun to move around and the buttons are in weird spots in my opinion.5. There is no internal battery that stays charged. what I do is I have a 20,000mah battery pack that I keep charged up in the glove compartment with a micro usb cable. It is a beast of a battery pack. When I leave the vehicle for the night I plug it up and put the camera in guard mode. It will ONLY come on during motion events. Good for thieves or people messing with your vehicle. The only other way for the camera to stay on overnight without the car running is wiring it to your car battery.
S.L.
Very easy to set up and use, plus an excellent User Manual and great online Live Chat help The User Manual also states that Samsung Pro Endurance or Samsung Evo Plus SD cards will work in it. I hope things will contnue to go as well!

I was real happy when this arrived. I like the form factor as it is relatively small, nice construction, and the layout well thought out. I got this set up with the default settings - front and back camera activated with 1080p video and 3 minute clips. I put in a 64gb micro sd card. I went out some errands and low and behold 30 minutes later, I saw a car veer across the highway and up an embankment, flipped over and came to a stop - at about 70mph. Quite a scene and the first time I saw such a crazy accident. I remembered a few minutes later that I had this all captured on video and was excited to go review it when I got home and hopefully track down the guy and show him the video (I saw that he was OK but didn't stop). By the time I went home it was 8 hours later. I went home and took out the card and put it into my computer. Opening up the card I was mortified and extremely upset that the video clip was missing because it got overwritten. Turns out that the 64gb card only holds about 7 hours of video. Each 3 minute clip is 279mb (and there are 2 per time period because it's front and back recording). The compression codec that is used is allowing files to be huge for what it is. In addition, at 1080p with this camera (especially with the low compression), you can't read any license plates even if the front of my car is only 10 ft away from the next car. So if you get in an accident or you are trying to find out who hit you when parked, it will be a no go - the police won't be able to read the plates and it won't hold up in any court. So now I'm left looking for another camera - probably a 4k resolution (and of course with that the files will probably be huge).... So disappointed that this didn't work out!

Loved it except for the way you disconnect from mount
Vantrue Customer
It worked well, and I had it for at least a year. The only big downside, I guess, is that it is a target for thefts. Mine's was stolen. If you bought this product, you take it with you; there is an easy latch to remove the camera that I wish I did.Pro: It works and easy to use. I love that it catches what's in front of you and behind.Con: Does not come with an SD micro card, and it uses an old USB mini B type instead of a micro B.Overall if you got money, this works well.

I have ZERO Complaints! Great camera! I have had several cheaper ones and this one was well worth the added expense!
Larry Kolbinskie
Seems to work great, picture Quail is good. I do have one complaint, the suction cop falls off the windshield everyday some times more then once. It does startle you when your on a long drive and it just falls. I have contacted the manufacturer hope they rectify this problem
JLee3010
To begin, I love the camera. Good picture quality, even with the night vision. I bought the external SD card, & have never worried about saving data, as it has loop recording. The construction of the camera itself is also very good. The rotating mechanism of the camera is very tight, which prevents it from moving around due to vibrations. Overall very happy with the camera itself.That being said, the window mount that its sent with is terrible! Keep a small screwdriver handy, as the part that hold the camera onto the mount becomes loose very frequently, rendering the camera useless. Can't record the road if the camera won't stay in a fixed position. Also, the suction cup isn't very good. Even when both the suction cup & window were cleaned with 90% isopropyl alcohol, the mount didn't stay up much longer than a few miles.That's it. Camera is great, but the mount it comes with is not. Were the mount better, I'd probably be more inclined to give it a 4 - 4.5 stars
Caleb
I loved this camera for about a year until it just randomly started turning off and I couldn’t get it back on without unplugging it and plugging it back in. Kind of upsetting because I want it to run 24/7 and randomly turning off could miss and important event.

I purchased 2 of these cameras, both look amazing when they are working, picture quality is good both front and back, but the bad part is that both stopped working in less than a year, I tried to troubleshoot the camera everyway I could but I couldn't get it to work, I'm positive it has something to do with the internal battery.I will say that vantrue did replace 1 camera and send me a new one, but they will not replace the second camera, they told me that since they already replaced one camera that they cannot replace the other one, even thought its a separate camera that was purchased on a different date.so now I only have 1 working camera until this one decides to stop working just like the other 2.Vantrue did offer to sell me a camera at a special discount, but I told them that the any discount is useless if their products keep going bad after less than a year, specially if the warranty wont replace them.Im going to go on ebay now and look for an internal battery to purchase so I can solder that on to see if that works.its a nice camera but given my experience, you be the judge.

Died after a year, what more can i say for an expensive camera!

I bouight this product with gre4at expectations. First day it crashed the memory card I bought. Then I read in the manual not to use this specific brand. Why didn't they tell you BEFORE you bought it? After a couple of days it would get super hot and stop working. Then it would no longer start up. Despite numerous emails to tech support they never would issue me a return authorization. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY.

Worked well for almost 2 years....of course. Then it went mental and committed suicide. For $250, I expected at least 4-5 years.

I've had the camera for 2 years now and it worked fine until a couple days ago when audio stopped recording. I made sure settings had audio enabled, reset settings etc. I even upgraded the firmware to V41 and it didn't help. Camera quality is nice, but giving it 3 stars because audio stopped working.

I threw out my Vantrue N2 Pro after the capacitor burned out in just over a year which caused the date to reset to 1/1/2017 every time I turned my car off and then back on, and now with my Vantrue N2 non-pro which I bought off a friend after he quit driving, almost every time I go to retrieve a video file that should have captured a particular incident, there are no files. My cam should have captured video of a crash I witnessed yesterday morning - 9/25/2020 at around 10:30 am - and not surprisingly, no video files were captured during that time frame. I have a supply of high quality Samsung EVO SD cards I meticulously change out and reformat every few days, yet this still happens.
C. J. M.
I’ve had my Vantrue N2 Pro for almost a month now and after ordering the recommended Samsung 128g chip, I am very pleased with the extremely high quality video and audio. I also like the mount which allows me to securely fix it to my windshield and it gives me the security of knowing that I can rely on it to capture any issues that I may encounter during my drive. Additionally, I like the ability for it to capture any “accidental” damage to my car while I’m shopping like errant cart collision or someone backing into my vehicle while not present. I’m looking forward to adding the ability to document my vehicle’s speed and location during my drive.I also plan to add another windshield mount for my other car so I can just slide the camera off and into the other vehicle quickly allowing me to route the power connection so it is in a semi-permanent, tucked away location.

I purchased this camera in 2018. I did not write a review at that time, and if I would have done it, it would have been 5 stars, it does everything it says with one flaw, this camera does not have WiFi, neither an app to see the videos. My car was recently stolen along with the camera, from my home's parking. Because this camera did not have WiFi or an app, I couldn't see the image of the robber's face. I am searching for a new cam, and I noticed there's a new version. I can't believe they did not add these features to the new version.

could use a little more space but good value in pictures and sounds

The Vantru 2 Pro Uber Dual camera works! It is a good device that allows a feeling of security to document events that happen on the road. Day vision is very good. Night vision is not so good but adequate. The inside the cabin camera is not very clear during the night and turns ontona black and white camera. Having the rear (inside) camera is useful for catching images of the rear and sides through the windows. While not perfect rear or side vision, the rear facing camera is a good and easy solution for seeing ba kwards and sideways without adding a second camera and wiring. So even if you're not using this device for Uber purposes, this camera with its backwards vision is useful.
James
I have the Vantrue N2 Pro Dual Camera. It provides great picture quality for both front/back and it just works the way you want it to. Now, It gets hot here in Southern California, as a result, the suction cup on my mount warped to the point where it stopped sticking on my windshield. I emailed their customer support about it and they got back to me right away. They said that, although my warranty has ended, they’ll ship me another mount and it will arrive in the next 2 weeks. I couldn’t be more happier! This company went above and beyond! I should’ve paid for it but they did me a favor.Thank you so much to whomever made that decision!

Now the computer can't see the camera for me to view and transfer video and support can't seem to find a solution
Unique Individual
Pros: (A) 1080p resolution for front and rear facing camera. (B) Relatively easy swapping of MicroSD (for saving events). (C) Great field of view. Front is wider than interior. I reduced the interior exposure -1 stop so i could see what's outside; the default blows out the windows. (D) Nice "EVENTS" folder for locked (saved) videos. (E) Good interior gain in dark lighting. (F) In 2 months of driving, I had already captured TONS of craziness on the road and two red lights ran (by others). It will be priceless when I inevitably get in an another accident (it's just statistics!). I'm having fun collecting my week's worth of road craziness every weekend. (G) Relatively small. (H) Worth the price.Cons: (A) The power connection at the mount is extremely finicky. It may work fine for a week, but suddenly, it won't draw power. When this happens, it turns on and off every two seconds chiming on and off obnoxiously until I unplug the thing and drive all the way home without it. The GPS replacement mount did not fix this, so I deduct it's the charging cable. Losing power half the time means I'm not capturing footage half the time, and when I do, the time code on all my videos is always wrong because I don't reset it every time it this happens. The GPS mount fixed the timecode issue though. (B) Bright spots causes circular bokeh (a.k.a. glare), sometimes ring bokeh, giving the illusion that the camera is out of focus, even though the image is almost pixel sharp. Worst on shiny cars and at night. (C) Videos are recorded in 1-minute, 3-minute, or 5-minute clips. When you save an event in a 3-minute clip (default) you often have to search 6 minutes for it (3 minute for the video it's in and 3 minutes for the video most nearly before or after it). Reducing to 1-minute clips helps, but for some reason it records 1 minute 1 sec, with a 1 sec overlap in videos, so simply merging sequential files will cause a 1 second echo every minute. (D) I'm going to have to buy a new sun shade. The one I have puts too much tension on the mount and pulls it off. (E) The power plug has a bright blue light on it that is distracting at night.Note: I prefer to have the rear-facing camera capturing the cars behind me at all times. The higher resolution front facing camera is great, but twice the file size (equal to the front + rear file size together), and it increases sharpness when sampled back down to 1080p.I'm getting a braided USB cable instead of a charging cable to see if the thicker cable delivers better power.

I ordered Vantrue N2 Pro.The camera is not recording constantly. Just some random times.I contacted few times and only got the respond with question about when it stops recording.For example, I used today for 8 hours and camera stopped recording after 5 hours.

Like everything about it. About the only improvement would be to make it a 360 camera LOL.

VanTrue does not honor its warranty. If you have a problem, don't contact the company, contact Vantrue. VanTrue delays and stalls. They want "proof" that their product is defective. I had a problem with the charger cable, they wanted me to send them a photo where the wires had become frayed. Look at other dash cams before considering making a purchase from VanTrue. I thinkt their cameras are great, but if you have a problem with the device, you have a problem!

I have had this camera for about 10 months now and can honestly say I don’t think it’s worth the price.Cons:1) Mount it came with will work for a couple months, then keep coming off. Had to buy the adhesive one through Vantrue about 6-7 months in2) PARKING MODE DOES NOT WORK!My car was recently hit after I came back from the store. I noticed it right away since my car is black. I instantly panicked and thought “oh wait, no problem I can just check the footage”. My cam is hardwired to my car so it should always have power and I had the sensitivity for parking mode on medium. I get home and check the footage on my computer AND IT DIDNT RECORD! I was furious! How is sensor not going to tell that my car was hit!! (will include pictures) now I have to pay my deductible for my car insurance $500 to get my car fixed! & yes I made sure I didn’t use a Sandisk SD card.3) One of my buttons at the bottom of the camera stopped working4) Not sure if it’s my LED lights in my car but sometimes it’s hard to read license plates (almost impossible) at night when checking footage. All you see is a bright rectangle on the back of cars.Pros:1) very good quality during the day2) Inside camera seems to be good quality as well

It turns on when I start the car and turn off when I turn the car off. The video quality is excellent day or night. I have been using this cam for my ride share business and it has been by far the best investment I have made.

I looked for dashcams after a person that i know was involved in an auto accident some time ago. Having a dashcam would have assisted in accident reconstruction. This is my 5th Vantrue dashcam (qty 3, N2 Pro and qty 2, S1) that i have installed in my vehicles (these go in separate vehicles, they are not replacements -- all have operated well so far. When looking for dashcams, i had the following criteria: 1) two cameras, both front and back; 2) HD 1080p minimum camera resolution; 3) good low light performance; 4) adhesive mount; 5) GPS to give location and speed information embedded in the video for assistance with accident reconstruction, if needed. These Vantrue dashcams meet my criteria and have performed well so far (after a couple months of usage). I have 64 GB SD cards in them (Samsung EVO). Each 3 minute recording occupies about 250MB (per each camera feed, so 500MB/3 minute video) on the SD card - .mp4 file format). This 64GB card has sufficient room to record about 6 hours before overwriting old video.
Safety matters. We believe a dash cam with top quality and strong performance is very necessary for every vehicle driver nowadays. That's what we do at VANTRUE, developing high end dash cams and providing top level services.
