incredible quality and perfectionReviewed in the United States
Definitely the best dash camera. easy to install and handle, and the best video quality, can give you clear images and record the perfect voice for someone who is doing uber and lyft

I had been planning on getting a dash cam for about a year and just couldn't settle on one. But after watching so much DDS, MegaDrivingSchool, Sergey22, etc. on YouTube, I decided on a VanTrue. The day after I made my decision and started seriously looking for one, an older gentleman pulled out of a gas station while not looking my direction and SOMEHOW, at less than 15 mph, totaled my car. I am still in disbelief! I went home and purchased this right away.I love it! High definition, high quality clips that you can set up in 1, 2, or 3 minute loops. Night vision is great. Some people have complained about the mount included (slipping) but mine has been on for several months in a Sacramento summer and now cold, wet weather with no change in position. I did get the GPS mount (tracks speed and coordinates) but haven't set it up yet.The inside facing camera is great, definitely keeps you more aware and tuned into the road knowing you have a permanent witness with you. Lol. But it doesn't just see inside, it's clear enough to see behind me as well, though mainly larger and more obvious details like car type and color rather than license plate numbers. The front camera gets plates, bumper stickers, signs, everything else though. It lets you take pictures in addition to recording manually. Parking mode is easy to set up and you can set the G shock sensor to a very sensitive setting but thankfully, I haven't needed it yet.All the settings are easy to set up, uploading clips can be done by taking the card out of the camera and uploading to the comp or the easier way, detach the whole camera (very easy to do by pushing a little lever and sliding it off) and connect using the USB cable. The playback is smooth and seamless, audio is not the best sometimes but I bought a camera not a microphone so I can't list that as a genuine con. However when it's really quiet (no radio, late night driving) you can even hear the blinker and windshield wipers going. Hit or miss.A card is not included, and when you buy one you need to format it before inserting it and recording. Very easy to do though, and my 256 GB Samsung (from the "recommended with this purchase" section) works great. Holds hours and hours of video so I can record as I please without running out of space or overwriting videos which is what happened with my last camera (gifted.... it broke). That being said, there is a note about the manually recorded/"event" videos potentially being overwritten once you hit something like 70% capacity. So if you care about that, stay on top of extracting your videos.My ONLY con after owning this for probably 3 months now, is the actual initial set up. It comes with all the cables and cords necessary to hook it up via the cigarette lighter port thing (idk) *but* the plug they gave me was too big for my port. Like, way, way too big; there was no realistic way it could fit in my 97 Honda Civic, so just keep that in mind if buying for an older car. I have a stereo/deck with a USB port so I can connect the camera to the power source that way using the USB cable meant for the computer, but it hangs down from the windshield and sometimes gets in the way, either of my hands or the inside facing camera. But again, only con here. Doesn't affect the operation and it was an easy fix. I've never bought a piece of technology that hasn't given me problems within the first 1-2 months but here I am reviewing the exception.Let me tell you, the piece of mind this gives you is overwhelming sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've de-escalated someone else's road rage by simply pointing to the camera (or prevented my own by remembering it's inside watching me too! Ha!). Plus, I've caught some funny, unique, and just plain weird things on it, like a semi on fire on the freeway, a murmur of birds by the river, a troop of turkeys 45 strong fighting in the middle of the road, a crow dropping a rock on someone's windshield and cracking it, a homeless man pulling his sweats all the way off to tie his shoe in the middle of the road then pulling them back on to keep jay walking... Excellent gift for paranoid, angry, or new drivers, Lyft/Uber drivers, or just anyone with long commute who sees more than the average driver. You can't beat the price for the quality and customer service. 10/10 would buy again

This is by far the best product I recently purchased because of its features. I have no regrets of buying it and for just almost two weeks of using it, I am content and in awe. Looking forward to using it. I do not only enjoy the ride but it made me feel safe and secure as it can fully record. As a family man, my top priority is my family’s safety. I highly recommend this product and features but it is easy to use and mount.

I had this camera for more than a year. I had tested it to be good when I purchased and installed It on my car. Since there was no event, I hadn’t checked it since installation, believing that it would be working as it claims. And I thought it was working for sure because whenever I started my car, it would make a sound with the camera blinking. And since I had 200 gb memory card in it, I though It wound be recording days of driving, and overwrite the old ones.Just a month ago, there was a person in the parking lot and she recklessly pulled out and damaged my car. She admitted her fault at the scene, but later reported the accident as if that was my fault. I thought I had a hard evidence, believing that the camera was recording everything only to find that this camera was recording random events, even still had my initial test recording, but there was not recoding of the accident. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT. It after all didn’t serve the purpose at all. After that I have been testing that meticulously only to find that the connection to the camera is very inconsistent.This precise is just another overpriced Chinese made junk.Invest your money on something better.I had to fix my car out of my pocket because of this camera malfunction, which is REALLY UPSETTING.

Camera is great! Used it on a road trip and it was able to capture all front angles of the vehicle. I especially like the night vision mode. It doesn't simply show the lights on the road, but clears up the sky to a dark blue so that you can see everything around you when reviewing the footage.
Vantrue Customer
Hello, all that may be thinking about their first dashcam purchase. I recently purchased the Vantrue n2 Pro and after a day of install and testing it out. Here is what I found.Install was rather simple. Simply unlock the suction cup and press and lock. I was able to tug rather hard with no movement. I also purchased a hardwire kit to be able to take full advantage of the Parking mode feature.The main reason I made this purchase is for when I'm driving for Uber or lfty. It gives peace of mind. Knowing that if anything happens. That there is now a documented proof.Would I recommend this dashcam.. yes while it has a high price tag. It is worth the buy. Though I highly recommend picking it up on a price drop. Please see Pro's and Con'sPro--Easy to install.-Easy to use (Such as easy stop-start recording even reviewing from the little LCD screen built-in.)-Easy clip and go function (Allows for you to clip into the mount and remove when you want to hook it up and review footage)-Lightweight design but doesn't feel cheap or like it will break.-Great picture quality during the day time. (see con for auto dark remarks)-Packaging (It came and I was surprised how well it was packaged. The cam was snug in the foam insert)-A great addition to any uber or lfty driver's car or SUV.Cons--No cell phone or Bluetooth support for a seamless video review.-Recording during the night. (The outward-facing camera in lower light settings gets a bit grainy along with when driving bright lights don't translate well. Such as flashing lights from a police cruiser.)-The auto dark function (the auto dark doesn't seem to change correctly. It is currently 2 pm and when I got my camera out to bring in to review.. It still shows the cabin in the night vision aka black and white)-Gps option (The GPS function on the camera doesn't work unless you shell out an additional $21. Please see below for more details.)-Price. (see below for break down and thoughts)So for the price I paid for the Vantrue n2 pro and an sd card and hardwire kit. I feel like I got a great deal on this camera with only spending around $175. But I feel like I would be a bit more disappointed if I had purchased this camera at the list $199.99 and an sd card at $49.99 and the hardwire kit at $15.99 for a total of $265.97 before tax.The Vantrue n2 pro looks great during the day when it is nice and bright and well lit. Even does a great job of not being blinded by bright lighting. Such as the sun during peak hours. But the same can't be said during the night. While the picture quality is still good and will handle any situation. I feel that it could be better with the available tech we have today. I love how easy it is to use and set up. with no issues to report so far.In closing Vantrue upon registering my product. Offered me a free GPS mount for my N2 pro. To claim my free GPS mount for the Vantrue n2 pro. They asked that I liked and followed their Facebook page and follow that up with leaving a review on Vantrue. I'm happy to do so to save the $21 for something that should have already come with the $200 n2 pro.So while some will come and give a quick easy review. I like to give an honest review of my thoughts and feelings about this product. Everything listed above both Pro's and Con's are my thoughts about this product. I hope that this review helps you when it comes to purchasing your first or next dashcam.

Great picture quality day and night. Very crisp and clear. Would have liked to have had an install kit for the wire but I’m not going to remove a whole star for that.

Man, this is nice. The price point had me anticipating a specific quality that it far exceeded. By far. The instructions are extraordinarily clear, well-written and make it a breeze to set up. It adheres really well and the power cable is simple to hide. Installation was super, super easy and I had it up and running in no time. A great idea for safety and this is the perfect cam.

I liked that it is an easy plug and play really, and picture quality is very good. Nothing out of this world, but meets the expectations easily.

The camera and recording quality is good. It's a shame that he comes what a very old fashioned big USB port. And a very thick cheaply made cord. Should've came with a modern port. Battery lasts literally 2 sec.

Great dash cam:First edit:First thing it’s super easy to mount and setup.On the road:I say camera is powerful as it captures a high quality clear video.Because of night vision feature it captures a great quality video even at night.This is my second dash cam. First one I bought after my wife got a hit and run.That cam support just 32GB sd . So I have to buy another one which support greater capacity sd. I hope it works well on coming days too.In mind:Because of powerful camera and motion sensor feature now I can have peace of mind even when my vehicle is parked in public/ street parking. As I do a ridesharing this dash cam is perfect for me as it records inside the vehicle . My previous one is for front and rears which was not suitable.I bought 256GB sd card which don’t come with a camera .Ohh the sound quality is great and crystal clear. I will upload that later when I have time.

I used this camera for 24 months. It's picture quality and interior night vision are decent. It's menu isn't the easiest, but for the price that's acceptable.What isn't acceptable is that after 24 months, the small battery in the camera failed violently. The camera made a very loud "pop" while I was driving in the freeway one night (it felt like a large firework went off a few feet from my head, ears ringing the whole number), and ejected it self from the mount. I had paying customers in the car (Uber/Lyft). Now all files are corrupted, won't record new files. Of course, it's out of warranty. You can get the Thinkware fa200 IR for less money, and it has a capacitor instead of a battery so this will never happen.Edit:Vantrue customer support initially confirmed that the product was out of warranty, and that it was only covered for 18 months. They also stated that the battery exploding was "not life threatening".Edit 2:After some back and forth, vantrue has sent me a replacement. I still feel that the Thinkware FA200 IR is a superior product as it uses a super capacitor rather than a battery. I will likely use this replacement until it inevitably fails, and then but the Thinkware.Edit 3:Vantrue support has requested that I further update my review. I am thoroughly satisfied with the customer support experience that I received from vantrue. Even though I felt that they were initially flippant with my concerns over their product exploding while I was driving, they ended up replacing the product. a manager with fancher has reached out and requested that I specifically rate this product four to five stars. Considering that I would separately rate my customer service experience with vantrue about 4.5, and the product a 1, I cannot rate this product higher than 2 stars. Even a stellar customer service experience is hindered by an inferior and possibly dangerous product. if vantrue did a recall and reissued this camera with a supercapacitor that does not explode instead of a battery which can (and in my case did), I would be happy to reassess this product review. For reasons including a very good customer service experience, and a very poor product experience (including ongoing issues with mounts, memory card issues, corrupted files, etc), my rating for this product remains a 2.

After a few months of having this camera it shuts on and off constantly while driving it never stays on anymore contacted vantrue and they want me to send it to them first to examine it I don't have the time for all of that I have to work and drive. I feel liek this camera was a waste of money.

The cam looks small and sleek. Very easy to set up. Make sure you read the pamphlet that comes with it that says “please read”. The camera itself has really good quality as far as I can tell by watching the small screen. Haven’t watch any footage on a computer yet but I’m sure it’s great quality. The suction cup mount is a quality mount. I usually hate any suction cup mount but this thing holds really well. Make sure you buy the hardwire kit. Completely worth it and very simple to install. I’m not tech savvy and i had this camera hardwired in about 15 minutes. Don’t forget to buy a micro SD card. And make sure it’s NOT a Sandisk sd card. highly recommend. Great bang for your buck

Beautiful dual picture and feels solid not like other dash cameras!Reviewed in the United States
Great camera honestly I got it for a great price on cyber Monday but if I paid full price for this camera I would say money well spent. All other cameras don’t compare to this one.

Great product, just wish it stuck on the glass a little better. It tends to fall off about once a week or so even when the glass is cleaned well with alcohol, probably just due to the temperature change though.

Great product with awesome dual camera. The picture and night vision quality is superb. Easy installation. Love it

I need a dash camera for my car just in case when driving on road and also make a footage for my youtube channel. But most dash cam has no sound recording. I found out this one on AMZ page which had lot of functions that I needed like back and front camera, sound recording.. First, It is small and light weight so you can easy to hang in dash mount and adjust wherever you want for your footage back and front. Second, it has G-sensor block the video when you got an accident,the high quality full HD (1920x1080) or more depend on your and the sound recording is so clear. It super easy to set up for plug and play. The price is a little bit high compare with the other one, but I thought that you get what you pay for.

I just got the camera with the hardwire kit from Vantrue. As long as you know how the hardwiring things work, you should be able to wire it to your fuse box easily. I will say the most difficult part is to take the fuse out and clean up the wires, but it seems to work well. I still need to test if the parking mode is working well. Overall I think this is a pretty good product.

So far after almost two months everything is going fine. Video is clear and the 256GB Samsung card I got to go along with this hasn't filled up yet. We'll probably get another one for our other car as well. I was hoping the rear facing camera would be able to see out the back, and it does a little during the day, but at night the IR lights up the interior too much to be able to see anything at that exposure outside.
Charlie S.
Purchase with hardwire kit(Vantrue) and 256gb SD card to take advantage of 24hr parking mode.Works great for this feature!Only downfall so far is that the movements of leaves on trees set the parking mode camera to record which happens any day that there is a breeze. This is our issue due to parking on second floor with view of branches/trees in front and back.Great picture quality and form factor!Have already recommended to colleagues who are interested in the provided features of security!

If you leave it parked for a few days, this will run down your vehicle's battery. If you turn off its power source to park for a couple days, it loses all its settings and corrupts the micro SD card so you have to reformat it before the dash cam will use it again. Other than that, if you put this in your only vehicle which you drive EVERY day, it should work great. Has good picture, infrared works great while parked at night, and the GPS mount (wwww.vantrue.net) works great with it. If it didn't corrupt the SD card every time it loses power, I would've given it 4 stars; if it didn't run down the vehicle battery in just a few days that would have added another star. If your vehicle has an isolated full size battery for accessories (optional on many trucks), you shouldn't have to worry about either of those situations, by the way.

My dash came stopped working after 4 months .. i used to love this product but lil by lil i might start switch to a different brand

I upgraded from a previous Vantrue X3 dash camera which I really liked. The nightvision on the X3 was already really good but the improvement of the nightvision on this N2 pro is significant.The mount on the N2 pro is similar to other Vantrue mounts but seems a little sturdier in quality. It holds the camera nicely and can be adjusted and doesn't seem overly loose in adjustment like my previous X3 mount.The build quality on the N2 pro feels really sturdy and is top notch.The dual (internal facing) camera really needs to be positioned in the center of the dash window to get a good field of view internally. This could be a restriction for some car mounts as people may not want it right in the middle of their windshield. Recording can be set to record both external (street view) and internal (passenger view) at the same time, it can also be set for external view only and multiple resolutions at that for those that want privacy. GPS is an option but requires a separate product addon.The SD card slot is hidden behind a plastic cover on the side of the camera. This wasn't super intuitive for me to figure out (I admittedly didn't read the manual...) but it is a nice improvement as it adds an extra layer of protection from incidents in which the SD card falls out accidentally.I live in a hot and humid climate and the X3 mount would occasionally fall off my dash window every few months. Time will tell how this N2 mount will hold up. That being said, the suction cup mount, in general, is a huge improvement over other vendors' camera's sticky tape type mounts which never hold up for more than a week in my climate.I really like this dash camera and would buy it again if I were in the market for a quality one.

I ordered this camera on January 20th, 2019 due to the fact I was considering driving uber in my spare time. The dual camera was a must for doing rideshares, and the parking feature gave me added piece of mind for vehicle damages in random parking lots since I drive a fairly nice vehicle. These days even private citizens have to always be concerned with liability, we live in a litigious society.*Note that I also purchased the Vantrue Hard-wire kit(to take full advantage of the parking feature, and I didn't want visible wires) as well as the GPS suction base (gives the function of adding vehicle speed readouts on the footage).Pros: After installing the camera and having about a couple of days worth of footage I was very impressed with the picture quality when playing back on my PC. Even video at high speeds was crystal clear and *fairly* easy to read license plates on screen grabs. Night time exterior camera is decent, about as well as you could expect from a dashcam without forward facing infrared. The interior camera is fairly solid, and independently adjustable on a vertical axis. It captures nearly the entire cab of my crew cab truck, especially the passengers, and as an added bonus it sees out the back glass (10% Tint) for decent bed coverage as well.CONS: This is where the dealbreaker is. Since I purchased this dashcam 11 months ago there have been 4 instances as to where I needed to review the footage (1 road rage incident, 2 near-miss-accidents, and most recently 1 motor vehicle accident). The first 3 just didn't have a video file for that 5 minute segment of footage saved --- everything else was there, and nothing was placed in the "EVENT" folder either (which honestly never gets any footage saved to it other than when the wind lightly blows shrubs or it rains). The most recent one, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident where another vehicle entered my lane --- and I was ecstatic that I had dashcam footage of it to provide the insurance company and to my family/friends only to find out the specific 5 minute segment of video that contained the lead up to the wreck and the accident itself was "corrupted" and has been unplayable by every video player we've tried for corrupt files. I was not at fault in the accident, the other party was even issued a citation --- however when you have a dashcam on your windshield and you are in a wreck, at least in my case, the police were quick to mention the dash cam and request footage. Looks pretttttty shady when you call back the following day and tell them it didn't record. Talk about an embarassment.TL;DR - Great picture quality, cool looking compact camera. Just don't expect it to ever record anything important that you may or may not need. You'll get hours and hours of the breeze blowing though, so if nature watching is your thing this might just work.

I highly recommend this dash camera. As you can tell by the photos, my setup is just plug and play. I let the wire hang down all the way to the car charger port, but the wire is super long so you can route it around your car to get a clean look. I might do that when I get the time. It was very easy to set up and it doesn't feel obtrusive at all, even with a wire hanging down the middle of my windshield.This dash cam came in handy for me when I scraped on a curb in my two month old (at the time) Civic Type R. I can now relive the moment of my heart breaking. I am able to see my perspective and my ugly reaction because this dash cam has two cameras. This is a big factor for me because you never know what will happen while you're driving.The footage is very usable when driving at night. The front camera can pick things up very well with the headlights on, but you don't need much light on the camera that faces you. You can legitimately record in darkness and you will be able to pick up detail fairly easily. You don't really need 4k with these dash cameras, so the 1080p is going to suffice.Overall, I highly recommend this camera. There's nothing that I can think of that's a downside, besides that this camera has a small battery so it won't be able to record much after the car has turned off. There is a kit that you can get to wire it to your car battery to keep it on which I think I will buy in the future. You'll regret not buying this camera when you get into an accident. :) So get it now!

I got this for my uncle for his early Christmas gift! He is a Uber driver so this is great for him to use! It has a lot of features, clear views, night vision, and easy to install. what I love the most is that this camera have inside car cabin camera view, I feel that this will keep my uncle safe with whoever he is driving with! This is a must have for all car services driver!On the other hand, I think i am going get another one for myself. I think my kids will have tons of fun seeing themselves in the camera!! Will catch every memory I missed while driving! This will record all the moments inside the car cabins for me!!

I wanted to love this cam so badly that I am actually sad to be giving such a low rating. I am having so many problems with this cam after only 2 months of use that I wish I could return and get my money back.I had my cam hardwired by a professional, because I don't know how, however my cam does not hold a charge, and has never recorded a single video in parking mode. I have the setting set to high for this feature, and i park all day in a huge and busy parking area. There should be lots of recordings in parking mode. Not a single one has appeared. I even tested it by walking, jumping, waving my arms around in front of my car, and nothing. It doesn't work.Just today I found out that the GPS mount I bought, also stopped working. I don't know when, but none of the videos in the last week that I've recorded have the MPH on it. It just says 0MPH on all of the videos.I purposely bought both of these excess/add on parts because those features are important to me and I wanted to use them. I am upset and disappointed that this cam failed after 2 months. It's way too expensive for this. Now I just have a regular "only on when I'm in the car" cam, which is exactly what my old $35 cam did. I've definitely wasted my money on this cam.UPDATE 1/9/20: I have been in contact with customer service and they seemed to want to help me, but so far my problems still are not fixed. They did send a new GPS mount, which seems to be working at the moment. They really tried hard to help me which is why I added a star. I still do not like the camera , as the parking mode feature does not work still, but they did try.

First, a bit of disclosure. I work for a surveillance camera manufacturer, so I am very familiar with the image quality possible today, even though we don't make any mobile or dash cams. Second, I had purchased multiple dash cams before stumbling upon Vantrue on Vantrue. I was admittedly buying inexpensive models, and found that many had extremely poor instructions for setup and use. Others were poor resolution or narrow field of view. Worst of all, most didn't last me more than a couple of months before they failed due to the hot California sun. I actually had an accident where another car side swept me, and the driver only admitted fault because he saw my camera. When I looked at the camera later, it turned out it had failed to record, so I was very lucky that the other person assumed it caught what had happened.I decided to buy a quality camera to hopefully avoid those issues, and purchased an earlier Vantrue model (OnDash X3 1440P HD). I have used it daily since 2017; I've put 50,000 miles on my car in the past three years here in Los Angeles, so it does get a lot of use. The Vantrue I bought back then has had none of these problems. When I purchased a new car, I decided to transfer that older model to my wife's car, and purchase a new one for my own new vehicle.The Vantrue OnDash N2 Pro is what I purchased a couple of weeks ago on Vantrue. It arrived in a couple of days. The packaging was clean and bright, as the pictures I took in my office show; it felt like a quality product from the start. This again is not always the case; I ordered one online from a deals site that came in very flimsy, black on white low quality packaging. That one turned out to be not so great a camera.Setup instructions for the N2 Pro are easy to follow (although in part that may be because I had used the earlier model) and with few English-language typos. Neither of these things should be considered a given!As you can see from the comparison shot I took in my garage, both cameras are similar, compact size. The N2 Pro (on the right in the photo) is slightly smaller in overall dimensions. The screen area is smaller as well, but it is extremely vivid & clear. Thus I don't have a problem with viewing content, either live video or playing back a recorded file. Since it is quite small, it blends in when you look at the car from the outside. Unless you are specifically looking for it, you likely won't notice the camera, as it almost disappears with the black of the mirror and sensors near where I typically mount it, center windshield, up high.I purchased the optional wiring harness, so that I could hook it up permanently. I do usually take a dash camera with me on trips, using the included 12 volt adapter and cable. Hooking it up via the wiring harness, though, lets me record any incidents that happen around the car when I'm not present. Vantrue indicates that it won't drain the vehicle battery in the documentation. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to validate that with the new model, but I believe it. I will be experimenting with the capabilities in this area. For example, I enjoyed the footage my previous Vantrue camera took going through a car wash.The night vision capability is outstanding, recording imagery much better than I can see with my own eyes. This is not a given; I've purchased and disposed of dash cams that had virtually no night vision and were thus useless much of the time.While I plan to primarily use it for recording the action ahead of me, this Vantrue model allows you to also record what is going on behind you in the rear seat of the car. The wide dynamic range all-lighting-conditions technology in the sensor also allows it to see out the rear window. This would be useful in the event you are rear-ended and need the evidence of what happened. I plan to experiment with that capability more as well, to see which mode I want to use it in.My only issue is that I had to look up in the printed instructions how to switch between front-facing recording only and the default mode of both front & rear facing recording activated. That done, no problems. Everything else was quite intuitive to set up if you've ever used other dash cams, and certainly if you've every had another Vantrue.The audio and video quality are excellent, and I've shown people on my team some of the recordings the camera produces. They were impressed with the quality, especially since we work for a surveillance camera manufacturer here in the US, and I think a couple of them probably have bought the same Vantrue model since then.I am very happy that I chose this model, and again purchased a Vantrue from Vantrue again.

Love almost everything about this camera, but the only issue is the night vision facing inside the vehicle. Its hard to see the passengers sitting in the back.

I was involved in an accident today which I was not at fault for. The other party lied and, I realized I had the dash cam installed so I could easily prove my case. The dash cam has a feature that records over old videos. I go to show the officer the video of the incident and found out it hasn’t recorded anything since 11/5/19♀️ What an enormous let down. Luckily after 20 minutes of reasoning with the officer he took my side. I will be returning this item! I can’t say enough how disappointed I am.

its not recording the way it is supposed to. i needed a footage from today and it did not have it. it had recording from day before but not from today when i needed it. the camera was plugged in and was blinking red for record. alot of the files are not view-able. Its disappointing because i have purchased 3 of those cameras and spend so much money and they dont work the way it should.

Bought this dash cam as a gift for my truck driver husband. I reviewed the footage of this dash cam and they are great. Video quality is good, night vision is superb. Audio quality is clear. It looks sturdy and durable.

My old camera had a bit of a grainy picture to it. It could still be used but this camera is a big upgrade in terms of video quality. When I plugged it into my computer to view some videos I knew I made the right choice to go with this camera.Setup is easy and quick. I just plugged the mini usb cord into it that I was using with my old camera and bingo. I like my old usb plug because it has a lower footprint than the one that came with the camera and it also has another usb slot for a phone or something else.So far no complaints, it is doing everything I want it to do.

very bad camera the parking mode does not work and the sensor is the same, I bought the kit that is directly feeding power to the camera and it was useless, on two occasions they robbed my car the second time they broke the rear window but the alarm but the camera despite everything he did not record anything

Updated review: this camera continues to record inconsistently, the manufacturer blames the SD cards. I'd really just like this thing to work!

I bought this camera specifically because it had a dual camera. The biggest reasons why this isn't a great camera is because of the choice of mounting hole they used. I didn't use the mount it came with because I can't stand anything to do with suction cups -- they never stay on like they're supposed to. I have a universal mount that connects to my rear view mirror, and it DOES have the piece to go along with the camera, but considering it's a slide mount (I don't know what you really call it), it has a tendency to slip out. My wife's Rexing uses the ball mount -- with that, worst case scenario, you've gotta readjust your camera from time to time, but at least the camera is secure to not fall while you're driving. The first time my camera fell absolutely freaked me out, and then I was worried that I broke it. If I get into a collision, it probably will fall off again and prevent potentially crucial information unless I glue it to the mount. However, if I do that, I won't be able to easily take the camera out of the car -- I'll have to take out the mount which was frustrating to install in the first place. It would've been all right if there was a way to lock the mount with the camera to prevent it from falling off during normal driving, but based on what I've tried, there wasn't.The second biggest issue I have is that it'll restart itself at random times. This might be a result from it falling on three occasions, but it bothers me because obviously when the camera is restarting, it doesn't record. Though the chances may be unlikely, those seconds could be the difference between being a "not at fault" accident to an "at fault accident."Because it's a 200 dollar camera and I'm afraid it's not always going to do the job it's supposed to do, I'm disappointed. I should've stuck with the 99 dollar Rexing I had -- it wasn't a dual camera, but at least it always worked, and it was always secure.This is really unfortunate because it's a great camera, but I had to give it 3 stars because of (in my opinion) their poor choice of a mounting piece, and the technical difficulties. And yes, I use the correct memory card for it, as well.

I am very satisfied with this dash cam. It was falling off the windshield specially when hot outside but the seller provided excellent customer service and sent me a brand new mount that clamps on to the rear view mirror and it is very sturdy.

Great dashboard camera that does all automatically for youI feel much better to have and recording all of the drives etc.Good value for the money and double camera in one product

Don’t usually do reviews but saved me... not in a way that you would think but still ha... was tried at a 3 way stop. I approach the stop sign then proceed to turn left and the car to the right ran through the stop sign. Wife argued that it wasn’t my turn to go and I was like what!!?! So of course... went back to my camera that I just installed and guess who was right? Of course being the good husband I am... didn’t bring it back up :)

It didn't worth it to pay 200 dollars and the product does not allow you to use GPS without buying and installing another product. It is not covered 360 degree.

If you have ever considered a dashcam you should take a good look at the Vantrue N2 Pro. Easy to install, easy to hardwire. The setup instructions are simple and accurate. I may purchase another hardwire kit for my other vehicle. I can then easily use the Vantrue N2 Pro in whatever vehicle I'm using.
Taino
Awesome camera! Easy install and hangs on tight to the windshield. Most important part for me is that it is very easy to get the data off and on to you computer or phone. I recently got the gps mount so that my speed will also show up when date is pulled off. I drive for Lyft so both the inside and outside cameras are important.

Not only has the camera been useful to myself but it captured in perfect quality a hit an run. The camera was able to capture both car and license plate as it attempted to run another driver over. Makes me feel more safe in my own vehicle.

Summary:1) This is a great dual (front/rear) camera for the low level light (night vision) and for the HD picture quality and sound recording capability.2) GREAT customer support3) Sound recording can only be enabled by going into the menus. It would be nice to have sound record feature selectable by a button on the outside instead of having to go into the menu4) Memory card is not included and needs to be formatted prior to use.5) You’ll need to download program to format the SD card. I’m not sure if the one that Vantrue sells with camera is already formatted.6) You’ll have to purchase separate kit for powering from ignition switch if you want camera to turn on automatically and not have to use the included power adapter7) Optional rearview mirror mount option would be good.Great unit for recording traffic and potential scenarios for accident investigation.Purchased unit in May 2018. Several weeks later the suction cup adjustable mount that came with the camera because loose and was difficult to adjust. Contacted customer support and they promptly sent a re-designed mount that works great.About a year later it started having problems with the built-in battery backup which keeps the date/time settings. This is evident by the calendar reverting back to the default date (year 2017); however, the camera will not warn you so until you either visually verify or download a video clip you will not notice the issue. (This might be due to the Florida heat in the vehicle which shortens the life of any battery).Also it is difficult to check the screen if you mount it on the passenger side of the windshield and if you have trouble reading small characters on a screen.Customer support advised to recharge the camera several hours and using. This helped temporarily but eventually the backup battery would not accept a charge. Original unit was returned. Customer support honored the warranty and sent a new replacement camera. I suggest keeping the box and accessories in case the need arises to return the unit to get a warranty replacement.

One thing I didn’t like is I paid $200 but no micro sd card came with it!

BEWARE!!! Buy at your own risk. If you get a bad copy it will drain your battery completely in parking mode and you will have to buy a new battery replacement, factor that cost ($150-200) into risking and buying this cheaper product. I've asked for a replacement unit, will update review if it's any better.

So far, so good. With the occasional resetting of the suction cup that comes off because of the hot temperatures, it work just fine. I noticed rowdy riders behave better once they notice the camera so that's a bonus.

VERY Happy with this purchase. I wish it had WiFI but for this price and the picture quality it is well worth it and I love the fact that it has interior cameras for Citizen protection!

This is a solid camera. The video is very steady and stable. The suction cup mount holds the camera in place very well. The daytime picture quality is great. The audio is good for what it is. Naturally the front seat audio is louder than the back seat audio. The separate power cables are a must to permanently mount this unit. The downloadable video software is a great tool that allows you to watch the video, watch your position on a map, and monitor your speed and direction.The memory chip is small and I have big hands. Leaving it on in park mode in the summer will heat up this unit to the point of barely being able to touch it. The night vision of the internal camera has a halo around the IR transmitters. A separate IR transmitter in the rear of the vehicle may be required to get a better picture. Passengers are visible and facial details can be seen but some times you have to strain to watch it.I would use a 256 memory chip. At present I have two 128s. I swap them out in the middle of a busy day of driving so as not to overwrite the video. I was able to get the 128 to record for 12 hours at the highest quality setting.

Really enjoying my Vantrue OnDash N2 PRO Dash Cam! Easy to unpack, and after some practice, easily configured it to fit my needs. I am a rideshare driver and the N2 PRO very useful. I hope I never need to use any of the footage in a legal situation, but I feel secure with the N2 PRO if something arises.

The recorded picture quality is outstanding, both for the external and the internal views, when viewing on a computer. The display on the camera itself is quite small. At just 1.25 inches, the camera display is large enough to navigate the menu system. Recorded video really needs to be viewed on a computer. Navigating the camera menu system takes a minute to get used to, then it makes sense. All of the features can be easily scrolled through and are logically organized. The camera controls are simple - taking a photograph is just a simple push of a button. Images, both still and video are nicely organized into three folders on the memory card. The Event folder contains files captured as the result of triggering the camera G-sensor. Still pictures are saved in a different folder, and all of the video clips that are taken while driving normally are stored in a third folder. Video files are saved in the MP4 format and are saved at approximately 220MB. When the card gets full, oldest files are automatically overwritten first. The camera mounting device is solid and easily installed. I like that there is also a power connection on the mount - it helps to keep the power cable up and out of view a little more. The power cable is sufficiently long to route out of view. It also has a very handy USB connector on it which can be used to recharge a phone or other USB powered device. Overall I am very pleased with the camera and would recommend it to anyone!

I love this product - it is a great dash cam.I really want Vantrue to come out with a better / more advanced dash cam. I would pay $250 for an even better version.

This camera from back days. All modern cameras have apps to manage and this one still needs chip and computer, this is unbelievable. You should know we are in 21th century.
Jaime d.
Almost perfect, amazing video quality and interface. But will be useless in about a year. I bought 3 of those already... the internal batery do not hold charge, and after 6 months of daily use, you cannot turn it on to access the menu, unless it is connect to a externalpower suply. After 1 year, the camera will turn off even if connected to your 12v socket. Time to replace it then... i did it 3 times, and will only do it again if vantrue give one for free... (not happening, i know) sad story... but is still one of the best on the market for this price so far.

When I started doing ride share... that’s the time I decided to buy a dash cam for my safety and safety of my passengers... Shopping for dash cam is not simple specially it’s not cheap... need to read reviews specially the negative ones... and this dash cam catches my eyes at first I just want the 1st version the Vantrue N2 but it lacks the infrared you need when you are driving at night... so I go to Vantrue N2 Pro w/ dual camera 1 is facing front and the other is infrared camera facing inside your car... the quality of the video is great after 2 year of using it... it is still rocking... I upgraded the power cable by buying the Vantrue Hardwire Kit (not the generic ones) and it’s easy to install (so that I can use the parking features of the camera)... there is a lot of video tutorials in YouTube if you need a help of installing it by your self... you will not be disappointed in buying this camera... happy driving

I love that it has rear and front facing cameras with HD quality video and pictures and night vision.My nephew and brother-in-law got one too. Don't go to Car Toys. They were way over priced and wanted $200 just to install. I had it installed at BestBuy for just $60!
Vantrue Customer
At my work and home I’ve installed over 100 surveillance cameras. And I’ve always kept one my car but it was a $69 special that worked OK for a while. But was very complicated to program or work with. Vanture Is this one that I’ve ever seen with this level of quality. Good instructions easy to understand straightforward to work with. This is huge when using a product like this. I’ve already highly suggested this unit to several other people. So far I’m extremely satisfied with the unit. Keep up the good work!

This dash cam works great! Front and rear video is excellent.Vantrue customer support is fantastic! I contacted them about acquiring a longer usb cable to power my cam. After a few emails back and forth with suggestions, they stepped up and offered to have one made for me at their factory and send it to me at no cost! Now that is customer support! After about two weeks, I received the cable in the mail and it works perfectly for my situation.A big Thank You to Vantrue and their top notch customer support!

The battery is horrible always have to be plugged in. After a month it it died on me. The day after it wasn't eligible for a refund.

Ordered the camera, hardwire kit, and memory card - the complete kit. Packaging was very nice and the instructions are very straight forward.Installing this in my 4Runner was a breeze. There were plenty of videos online to help explain the best approach (for any vehicle, not just the 4Runner).The quality on the camera is on another level. It’s crisp, clear, and very impressive! Will definitely be buying another one for our other car.10/26/2020 - loved this camera so much we bought another one! Checkout the cool video footage for the quality of this amazing camera!

The ease or use and set with the N2 Pro is excellent, video and sound quality are on the money.Mid line price for a high line product can't be beat.
Chris Suelflow
Great video, but the there are a few items that could be improved on.I'm not sure why they went with the mini USB cable, I haven't used a cable like that in the last 6 to 8+ years. I don't pull video from the camera very often, but on 3 occasions I found the camera stopped recording. The screen was showing it was still recording, only to find out the hard way it stopped recording a while ago. There's nothing more frustrating when you find out an event you bought the camera for ended up not getting recorded.The window mount could use improvement! I was really hoping to mount the camera high enough so it could see above the mirror. The camera is designed to mount with the suction cup above the camera and have the camera a couple inches below the window mount. The way the power cable connects to the mount or GPS mount, it needs an inch or so of clearance so you can get the suction cup to "suck"! I'm not sure why they put the power plug where they did, I could think of much better locations so you didn't need additional clearance to activate the suction cup mount.The camera does have a beautiful video, I just got to the point where I can't trust it's recording when I need it to record. I'm going to get a new SD card and see if it solves the issues I ran into.I purchased a new 256G memory card to see if that fixes some of the problems I've been experiencing. I dont think the memory card is the issue, it looks like the the camera isn't automatically turning on when I turn on truck. I've been having to hit the OK button on the camera to make sure the camera is turned on. Not sure why this is happening, the cigarette outlet in my truck is on all the time. If I hit the OK button and nothing shows up on the screen, I've been having to reset power to the camera so it turns on. I haven't verified if that fixes my issues with it not recording, but it should.

I am very glad I have purchased the Vantrue Dual Dash Cam. I drive with a better sense of security, these days one has to drove constantly in a defensive mode. Have video will create a great witness in case needed in court.Thank you

So I purchased this camera a week ago to add to an additional vehicle. I already own an X1 by Vantrue that's served me very well over the past few years, so I figured why not stay within the brand. So far in I'm very impressed with all of the features and overall build quality of this camera.If you've ever owned a generic or cheap dash cam you've realized that the OS/User interface leaves a ton to be desired; quite frankly most are utter crap.The UI on this thing is actually pretty intuitive and simple, allowing you to customize the thing exactly as you need without a headache. You get the choice of recording quality (1080P at 60FPS which I prefer, or 4K at 30FPS as seen in the video I posted). You can disable the rear camera if you want to expand the storage space (1 hour of 4K single camera took up about 11GB's). There's also the option to disable audio recording if you live in a dual-party-consent state like I do.The video recording is incredibly clear. I posted a video of night driving which is ALWAYS more frustrating to deal with. A lot of cameras struggle with IR or light reflection during the evening/night, but the N2 did really well in balancing itself so that you can read most license plates from the recording. The rear camera's good for recording passenger's if you work for a rideshare company but I opted to have it to have recordings from a rear vantage point available, just in case someone rear ends me.The camera itself feels sturdy, which should be expected given the price point. It's large which makes it rather visible, but again that's a personal preference of mine so people are less inclined to break in/damage my car. The visibility makes it an effective deterrent.And for the extra options you can buy?I'd very much so recommend the hard-wiring kit they sell for $16 or so. It's incredibly easy to install and will give you the added protection of being able to record any impacts while the vehicle is stationary and off so long as you enable the 'Parking Mode' feature. There is an additional GPS unit you can buy, but I'm not much of a fan of those. I think of them as unnecessary liability within the video, as they'll stamp your speed onto the video which can potentially hurt a claim.All in all this is a nice improvement over my X1, and a must for those who rideshare/want a rear camera as well.

The video quality is poor. It gives a different time even though I tried to fix it. It turns off every five minutes. Scared with it. I have to buy a different one.

This camera is exactly what I was looking for after six months of using it. Their customer service is stellar, picture quality is excellent and the night vision also works very well. This purchase was made based on research and exceeded my expectations for a semi-high tier dash camera.
