The perfect dashcam. This camera shows perfectly in daytime and most definitely at night. You will not be disappointed also it has a rear camera where you can place in your rear windshield.

No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no battery, no gps, no hardwire kit, NO NO NO!Reviewed in the United States
**UPDATE**So I never got around to returning this before the return window closed. Bought it in January and the rear camera already went out... didn't even last 6 months! DO NOT BUY.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I really wanted to keep this camera but it just lacks too much! No WiFi, no Bluetooth, no gps! You have to buy the gps module for an extra $25. Then I installed it and plugged it to an always on power socket and it killed my car battery. Now as I research more it seems you have to buy a hardwire kit just to keep it from killing your battery! Another $16! Lots of hassle and to end it all if I want to watch the video I have to pull out the sd card.Like I said, wanted to love it, it’s a decent camera overall, but lacks way too much in option and requires a lot of hassle to own and operate as intended.

The camera is fantastic but the charging cable where you connect it to the vehicle freaking broke so quick in less than 2 weeks. It’s like lose, I have to glue it together

OVERVIEWI received my Vantrue N4 DashCam a day earlier than expected.This is a very high quality dashcam.It is lightweight and very well built.It nearly provides 360 degree coverage from exterior front to inside to the exterior rear with the included 3rd channel camera that you'll mount to the rear window.As you can see from the included video and pictures, the picture clarity is outstanding, day and night. I’ve owned several other brands of dashcams. They did not match up to what the Vantrue offers. This is hands down the best dashcam I’ve owned. To that end, I will certainly continue to purchase Vantrue products as long as they continue producing devices with this level of quality. This is definitely the dashcam to buy.THE PROSThe camera allows for plenty of customization to meet varying needs. For the most part, once you go through the settings once or twice, you'll be good from there one unless you feel the need to tweak the settings. Perhaps, you want to change from 1, 3 or 5 minute clips.Maybe you'll decide you don't want to record what's going on inside the vehicle so you'll enhance the imagery for the exterior front and rear. Your choice! The point is, the camera allows for it all.Some of the other features include the ability to switch the view of the 2.5 inch onboard LCD to make any one of the 3 views the primary. You can keep the screen on or set it to go off after any one of the preset timeout periods have been selected. Additionally, you canThe microphone is very sensitive and picks up quite well. The device supports up to a 256GB Micro SD Card which is sufficient for more than a full day of recording even when using all three channels. It really depends on how much you drive and the resolution settings chosen. I drive a lot hence the need for this camera.I've owned the Vantrue N2 Pro, the N4 is predecessor, since July 2019. I've thoroughly enjoyed using it. I've hardwired it into both, my car and my truck.I will be purchasing the hardwire kit for the N4 to allow me to hardwire it into my car (Primary vehicle). I will keep my N2 Pro in the truck as I will not have to swap it between vehicles now that I have the N4.SUGGESTIONSI don't have any issues or concerns with regard to the Vantrue N4 or even the N2 Pro. However, I do have a couple suggestions for possible enhancements in the future.1) I'd suggest there be a purchase option offered to include getting the hardwire kit at a "discounted price" when purchased with the camera or bundle it with the camera for a slight upcharge but discounted prices as compared to buying the hardwire kit and camera separately.2) Perhaps, a future version of the camera could include remote accessibility3) Possibly allow for larger capacity Micro SD Cards… at a minimum, 512GB.

I’ve only had it a week, but this is my experience so far:Installation was simple to get it setup, mounted, connected, and temporarily installed (wires visible). After testing it for a day with a generic 8g sd card I had laying around and being happy with the recording angles, making sure recordings were saved, etc. I installed it properly by hiding all the wire through the cars headliner, side trims, floor panels, and plugging it into the cigarette lighter inside my cars center armrest which gave me a clean looking installation.The length of the wire for both front and rear camera was enough to get it hidden properly in my sedan (Honda Accord).I then installed a Samsung 256 GB SD Card which I got at my local Best Buy because I wanted to be able to return/exchange it quickly if it didn’t work with the camera. However it worked with no issues, I went for a drive and verified all recordings were saved and were of good quality.I went on a small road trip the following day (334 mile round trip) with a total drive time worth of at least 6 hours. The cameras worked with no issues the whole time and the following day I checked the footage. I was glad to find that all footage from all 3 cameras (front, inside, & rear) were present and had not even filled my SD CARD halfway. Video quality is great although it’s hard to see details from the dash cam itself, so I’d connect it to a computer or tv for that.Files are easy to access and manage on the laptop, although playing the footage on my laptop (chromebook running Windows 8) made it look choppy. I found it was an issue with my laptop and thankfully not the footage or files. I was excited to find a way around that though by connecting the dash cam directly to a tv using a HDMI to Micro HDMI cable ($15 at Best Buy). This lets you view the footage on a much bigger screen anyway making it easier to see details and quality of the footage without any issue.I am unable to give any insight on the parking mode as I keep my car inside of my garage, and I did not want to hardwire it to constant power so I do not use it. My main reason for choosing this dash cam were the 3 camera system and the quality of video from all 3 cameras.. It is excellent in that aspect! The super capacitor instead of a lithium battery was also a deciding factor since I live in Arizona where temperatures inside of a car are no joke.I am satisfied so far and will update this review if anything changes or if I capture anything of interest on the dash cam!

This N4 dash cam is a very solid upgrade from my old N2 pro from Vantrue. I have always wanted a dash cam that also has a rear camera footage and this N4 does. It has great picture quality and couldn't have asked for a better one.

I installed it in October and end of January had an accident, I was shocked that I found all recorded files in January was zero kilobytes.!!As well through previous moth as December has some file are zero kb.Also the parking mood wasn't working properly while I switched it on.I was disappointed.I can't say it's a bad dash cam but I couldn't find it when needed.I had bought two on the time, so I replaced it.I will check the other one I might was unlucky with my 1st dash cam.
JD
This cam is worth it, quality of Mic, video, and video area coverage is unbeatable. I was able to wire it within my 2020 Palisade easily by tucking the cables. No regrets, but I wish it had some of the app options other cams have or easier remote transfer.

This is a review of my camera I just recently got it and have it hardwired I rate it a 2.5 it’s a good camera but there are definitely some negatives to this camera. I have it hardwired professionally so I can use parking mode. Rear camera can’t see through factory rear tint you can see but not so good at night in day it will work but night barely work. Also no app for me to look on my phone so you have to take out the as card that’s sold seperate and go put on computer and do some sort of downloading I won’t do that unless it’s absolutely necessary like a accident or something I just can’t see me going to computer to mess with it so that basically is lame cause I want it on my phone to send to people like if I witness something cool it will be a hassle like if your on side of road and want to send it you can’t. You can look at it on camera but if it’s hardwired it will be stuck on your dash and you can’t move it unless you unplug it soon as you unplug it the device will turn off so that’s sucks again you have to reach over and it’s not easy on my vehicle once again not a good quality. The gps is on the suction cup mount sold speratlely as well it’s not expensive or do I need it so I’m ok with that. Also the parking mode sucks for example I have yet to pick up any type of alert so if if some one was lurking around my vehicle and I’m in a store or something there is no alert to my phone to tell me so it’s basically useless I also found that the parking mode doesn’t even work I have the most recent firmware downloaded again. Another negative quality is that if some one was lurking around my vehicle and the parking mode actually worked soon as I would get in my vehicle there would be no motion Alert or anything special to tell yo it hay your vehicle motion was detected so that’s lame to. I paid to have it hard wired and had to buy a special wire for 20 from the company as well. Also the parking mode does nothing another example would be you go into a store and the guy steals your whole camera with your sd card on it and you will have no camera and no footage as well I paid to have it professionally installed I bought camera because I thought it would be the best one cause it was 250 others are 100 so I thought would at least have a phone app to share videos Super lame I will just keep it for accident purpose only overall I wouldn’t buy this camera again also another negative will be that you get pulled over and the cop tells you to turn your car off and now your camera power won’t work you can go touch the camera and power button and still won’t power on unless your car is on so that’s lame to so if you pump gas don’t shut your car off can’t ever be to careful I hope this review helps you I’m writing this 100 honest oh a positive is it’s easy to use on the dash simple buttons so that’s a positive

After I got hit by an elderly man and the insurance said it was 50/50 fault I knew I had to get a way to make sure everything gets recorded. I also drive with Uber so it also makes me feel safer when I drive.Camera quality is great! Quite simple to install you just have to find a way to deal with all the remaining cable left if you have a small car. Took me about 2 and a half hours to install.Bought a Samsung 256GB card and the camera even has the option to format the sd card in settings since they are not compatible.I still haven’t used the parking mode or motion detection mode but I’m sure it’ll work perfectly.Once the vehicle starts the camera starts and automatically starts recording. You don’t have to worry about having to hit play or pausing.The camera that faces the inside records everything beautifully and the night vision is just fine.Overall I’m completely satisfied. I was a little sketchy about buying it first but after you get hit by another car trust me you’ll want to buy a dash cam. I also got the 3 year protection plan because the cam is a little expensive so it’s better to be safe.

The best 2k dashcam in addition it has two 1080p cameras. This is my third dashcam thus far I love this one the best. I've been searching for a long while on dashcams and Vantrue N4 dominates the wide range of various ones on the lookout. I was delighted in the simplicity of the installation and the overall design of the unit to my vehicle was a breeze. I have parking mode on and movement recognition on. This hasn't depleted the battery for my vehicle and I have it at the most elevated setting for the g-sensor. Night vision is incorporated for the inside and it works very well around evening time both inside the vehicle and outside. I don't actually have significant cons at this gadget other than the cost since this unit works best in the event that it was designed in(it be pleasant in the event that it accompanied the pack) offers a GPS add-on that ought to have been incorporated yet sold independently. Because of the cost of the dashcam($250) however other than that, it doesn't have an inward battery, yet all things considered, it has a capacitor that can take high temperature because of high-temperature days and won't harm it. With everything taken into account, I would strongly suggest this camera.

Video is clearer compared to others. Very necessary to have driving. Easily determined I was not at fault with this! Though the camera took a hit. I wish there was a better grip on the windshield.

Brought this dash cam after recent crack on my subaru outback wind shield. I wasn’t sure if windshield crack happened while i was driving or while i parked. After quite a bit research this seems to be promising dash cam with 3 cameras.In general i don’t read instructions, as usual this was also pretty easy to setup except while mounting i struggled a while as i didn't know how to mount the suction cup.Some of the cool features1.high quality videos - usually i use my go pro for road trips, hence forth i can use the videos from the dash cam with both front view and cabin view as well.2. Nice LCD display - I went wrong couple of times thinking its a touch display3. Long cables- plenty of cables to tuck in along with wind shield to the lower dash4. Cabin Camera- i think its helpful while doing ride share, but the video clarity is pretty good.Some nice to have features- having thin/ flat cables would have been nice2. Some wireless capabilities to access the videos from cell phone without needing to remove the memory card.3. motion/contact sensor to record videos while parked.Overall its pretty good as a dash cam and it does its job.

I just got the N4 and was able to give it a good spin during a road trip with the family. The video quality is second to none. The audio pick up is also incredibly strong. What I really like about it, is that out of the box it just works so well. The install experience was probably 5 minutes and ten max for rear camera, which needs to be pulled through the inner lining of the car. I absolutely love the peace of mind of having this 3-channel camera when traveling. But I what most appreciate are the stunning videos and photos that allow me and my family to preserve some really fun and sweet moments on road trips. A great buy for sure!
jet-thro
just a heads up. The GPS mount for the N2 is not a correct fit for the N4. Although it can be forced to the point it works, they redesigned the new product to encourage a new GPS mount purchase. I was disappointed with this, but as noted, it _can_ be made to work, and I did. I plan to use a Dremel on the mount to accommodate easy on and off of the dash cam.Also the optional direct wire cable for the N2 has the older USB 1 connector on it. The N4 comes with a USB C cable for a cigarette lighter. So a new direct wire cable with USB C is required for the N4... unless you use the old GPS mount like I am.
the good neighbor
I used to use the previous generation of this camera, Vantrue N2. It still works, but I've been wanting to also have a rear cam to catch if someone did something stupid and hit me from behind. That's when I saw this latest addition to their dash cam line, and this one comes with both front and rear cam.The picture and video quality is still as good as before. and even though my rear window is tinted quite dark, the video still comes out pretty nicely.Overall I'm really happy with this purchase, and most likely will give the older N2 dash cam to my sister or something. Would really recommend this to others!

Installation is easy, though of course a lot of that depends on your vehicle. I opted for the optional ODB hardwire kit to provide constant power to the cameras. I have a Chrysler Pacifica and was able to install the cameras and route the wires in the headliner and weather stripping in about an hour. The only visible cables are the ones from the top of the camera to the headliner, and the small length for the rear camera that loops down to allow for the hatch to open.Picture quality is very good, though I wish there was an option for higher framerates. 30 fps is the max no matter how you configure resolution or which of the 3 cameras are active. Very clear videos both day and night, and you can choose to have IR illumination for the cabin camera.The only complaint I have is the suction cup mount isn't very good. No matter how well I cleaned and prepped the cup and window, the longest it would hold would be a day or so. So I'd recommend buying the adhesive mount if you get this camera.

This camera has exceptional video quality and I’ve enjoyed having it so far. I had a minor issue with a cord but it was resolved quickly with customer service via Instagram the same day I messaged them about it. If you’re looking for a high camera to cover both the front and rear of your vehicle, I would highly recommend the Vantrue N4!

I purchased this product with the hardware kit. And let me tell you The picture quality and the ability to record the rear view is amazing. The set up was easy. The wires were hiding for a perfect install. Very pleased with the product and the customer serviceHighly recommend

So far it's good. Got the hard wire kit and really like the parked mode

I purchased this dash cam due to the positive reviews I've seen, after countless of research. The camera does it all, records the front, inside, and the back of the vehicle. I've installed it into my Honda Clarity. I've attached a memory card 128GB memory card to it so that I can record as much as I can. The quality of the camera is great displaying up to 4K. The angle of the cameras cover a wide angle ensuring protection from all sides. Although the price cause some hesitation, I'd have to say, it was a great purchase that I am happy with.

I bought this camera I swear is very bad bakery and worst I had an accident I don’t see anything and tile always goes back

I have this cam almost a month and it works great ,but it is missing WIFI and THe app. You have to remove the dashcam and plug it in the computer to watch a HEAR the videos . When in parking mode is when you realy need the wifi and the APP. I think with the app you would be notified if something happened .with the app you dont have to remove the cam from the car, Plus as you keep removing the suction mount it gets weaker to hold the dashcam. OPPS it fell. the parking mode is just that it goes on if hit and the first hit may not com on till a couple of seconds. some of there previous models had Radar . The rear cam is great to have , as i had a close call were someone came cloes to hitting me and I had it RECORDED on dashcam the cam works as intended and does a great job ! Its strange when you come out with a newer model you REMOVED some options .This is only my option of what i would of liked .still thinking of returning it. Missing wifi+ app

Packed with features but I will recommend getting the GPS suction mountReviewed in the United States
Packed with features, good image quality and configurability.Pros- All three cameras are sufficient resolution for their intended purposes. Good image quality.- Between the three, the field of view covers almost all around the car.- Physical buttons, instead of touchscreen. That makes this easier to operate in extreme heat or cold, when touchscreens become unresponsive. (My car entertainment center does).- Menu layout is intuitive to navigate.- The super capacitor is a lifesaver, once again for extreme heat and extreme cold which seems to kill batteries.- I also like that you can choose which cameras should record at any time.- Locking video clips is a nice feature to prevent you from accidentally erasing important events.- Exposure adjustments, Wide Dynamic Range, Parking Mode (Collision or Collision + Motion Detection) options.Cons- Should have come with the GPS mount, which I'm going to buy separately.- The rear camera cable layout could be avoided if there was a wireless connection between the main unit and the rear camera.Despite the high temperature operating range, the storage instructions recommend removing it from direct sunlight in summer and storing it in the glove box in extreme winter (-20F). You should also look for a equally rated micro sd card.I would turn the voice recording feature off if you're just commuting and don't specifically need it.Will see how it holds up after months of use, but so far looks very promising.

I had a vanture n2 before and upgraded to this and boy was it a nice upgrade, I like the multi camera.

The Vantrue N4 3 Channel Dash Cam is easy to set up. Only took me a few tries to master the menu items. It was very simple after that. The customer service was outstanding. They answered all of my questions without hesitation in simple, clear language. Highly recommend this dash cam.
O’RICK
Dash cam automatically switches between IR and normal mode depending on the light situation and I really like this feature. I had trouble to find better place to attach my dashcam to windshield. I have 2-channel Blackvue dash cam on my other car and i always wanted 3 channel one. I like Blackvue setup more but i wouldn't pay double price. I always park at garage and have no use for cloud capability.I think both dash cams are overpriced. If you looking for this particular dash cam, wait for price drop like i did. Because you gonna need to buy GPS module and hardwire kit for separate if you looking for better dash cam experience like speedometer read and long lasting parking mode. I use 256GB Samsung SD card and it performs fantastic with this dash cam.
Anne
Its worth buying this dashcam. Has 3 cameras which front, inside and rear. Its very useful because aside from you have security to take the video in case of accident. I also used like back up camera for my old car. The size of screen is enough to see the rear camera. The quality of the video is very clear. This dashcam is now part of my life that I can't drive without it.
Tony
This is a quality piece of equipment. I’ve been wanting a dashcam for a while but didn’t want a cheap one. Excellent picture and frame rate. One thing to note is that it doesn’t come with the SD card. Not the end of the world because I had one already. If you are looking for a dashcam and don’t mind spending a little bit more you can’t go wrong with this one. 3 cameras is a great feature.

Uber/Lyft drivers invest in this beautiful camera. I even hardwired mind and is doing what it supposed to do, night vision is like no other makers.

I have used multiple camera in the past and cameras do not take heat very well. Cameras tend to get overheated and just stopped working out of nowhere.This camera can take heat extremely well. Buy it! Not the greatest graphics but it works amazing.

I got this as a gift for Christmas and couldn't wait to install it. So far, so good, I have Zero complains about it. The Picture quality is Very clear on all camera's both at Day and Night. The install was very easy, I just had to hide the wires between the interior panels to get a clean installation. I am considering getting the hard wire kit so that I don't have a wire hanging out the side of the center console, and also a light tint to conceal the front camera more.
SPereyra
Although the price is high, it simply beats the N2 Pro.The screen cannot be locked to stay on and get more out of the rear camera when reversing. In general, the experience with this dash cam improves a lot, having a better video format that can be played without problem from Windows or Android.Installation is simple, with a little patience anyone can do it.

I recently purchased a car, one of the first car gadget people told me to purchase is a dashcam because you never know what will happen. However, as a first time car owner I had no idea what I was looking for. I searched for dashcam on Vantrue and this was one of the top 5 dashcams Vantrue showed. I decided to check it out for myself. The camera it self was easy to install and not bulky in anyway that will obstruct my vision. As for the picture quality In my opinion it is better than some of my YouTube video at times:To be expected from a 4K dashcam. This dashcam came with every feature a dashcam can offer which is also another reason why I chose this dashcam. I made sure it came with night vision because accidents usually occur during the night. I haven't had the chance to test it out yet, however I expect great results as well. Overall, this dashcam offers every feature a dashcam can offer, as well as high quality recordings of your surrounding.
R. Kavuri
Straight to point - the camera itself is made of high quality plastic. Really impressed with the camera's ability to record three cameras to the SD card at the same time, each camera recording end with suffixes A B C.Dashcam uses USB-C to allow consistent data recording to the SD card, provides the option to select a different resolution for each camera. The G-Sensor records video into the Protect folder based on the shock sensitivity setting in the dashcam menu. The rear cam is connected to the front camera with a long USB-C cable. It is not touch screen but it easier with physical buttons when the screen is this small.
Hersal R Pickett
This is a great unit. It was very easy to install with the hardwire kit and easy to set up. Crisp video.The only thing missing is a wider view in the interior camera and Wi-Fi for uploading clips.

Awesome product! A must have!

The N4 is the latest dash cam with USB type C that may avoid the need for re-wiring in case of upgrading! In my evaluation with a wall charger, the image quality and night view appear to be great! The installation in my car is fairly easy, and the settings are pretty straightforward. Some folks say it’s not possible for the driver to check all the time that whether the camera is recording, but I can see the red dot flashing on the screen once powered on after upgrading with the V8 firmware; as for the power source connection, I can use either the suction cup mount or the port for rear cam when connecting the main cam to PC. I will test how close a license plate number is visibly noticeable, and if I have to manually reformat micro SDXC every month, and how the parking mode works with additional obd2 power. BTW, I use a Sandisk U1 micro SDXC.

Going by their history, and by the products and reviews on Vantrue over the years, Vantrue has been around for a while in the dashcam industry. So it's to be expected that people have bought their products, used them thoroughly, and have to make a decision on what model to upgrade to when they want the latest and greatest. When I made that decision, I decided to stick with Vantrue, and I just changed out my N2 Pro, to the N4. So basically I'm comparing a product released July 2017, to January 2020, and basically comparing the flagship product from 2.5 years ago, to the flagship today. I liked my N2 before, and I see the N4 as improving on most aspects of the unit. I appreciate that the lithium battery is replaced with a capacitor, the front resolution is higher, and I believe that the video quality is improved as well.One thing work noting is that Vantrue has a track record of supporting their products with upgraded firmware. I went to their website to confirm my memory. In 2020, Vantrue provided 3 firmware updates, and in 2019, there were 4, for the N2 model. I look to their support of the N2, and feel good about buying the N4, and to the product being supported well by the manufacturer into the future.My one suggestion is to create a written note to yourself describing any changes you make to the default settings, since each firmware update resets the settings to default. Now after every firmware update, I look at my note, re-input my settings in 2 minutes, and I'm back to happy with my preferred setup.

I decided to go with this brand again when I purchased my second car. The camera quality is great from all three cameras and is easy to set up. The small camera that goes in the back of the car is small and is easy to hide. The wiring is long enough to reach the back of 2016 Prius. Overall it is a great dashcam and I do not have complaints using it daily.
TJM
Best dash cam I’ve ever had, period. All three cameras can be used to record simultaneously. I had it installed professionally because I wanted it hard wired to my truck. 1080p videos are awesome. Took a pix of a paused video so you can see the clarity of the camera.

tl;drPros:- good picture quality- secure mount (after a few attempts) means less bouncy footage- extra long cable for rear camera- capacitor power works (doesn't cut out while driving)- night recordings in car work wellCons:- no bluetooth or wifi clip downloading, must remove micro SD card- i've seen the color briefly look odd for a few seconds in some videos, unsure if that's cloud coverage or the camera sensor, lasts a few seconds and haven't noticed a pattern for when it happensI purchased the vantrue n4 because I recently bought a new car and was looking for a dashcam to give me peace of mind in case of an accident. I decided on this N4 package because it offered both the front and rear camera, as well as the optional in-car camera. I figure I can use the in-car footage if I need to, otherwise I've got 1440 and 1080 front and rear.Video quality was my main concern, and the N4 delivers great quality even when recording with all 3 cameras. Front camera recording at night is still good and I can read the STOP text on a stop sign. Rear camera recording at night is less good, but still good enough that I can make out cars in both of my blindspots. Overall, even without recording on only the main camera to achieve the highest resolution, I find the quality to meet my needs.I didn't look forward to installing the camera because I knew it would involve running wires under my car's trim, and I was unsure if I would need to remove any trim pieces. Thankfully with a lot of pushing and delicate lifting I was able to hide the cables for both the power and the rear camera under my trim and weather stripping while only a few inches of cable are exposed at various junctions where the trim meets dashboard or solid A-pillar. Installation took me around 30 minutes total and I found it to be easier than expected, though I had sore fingers from pressing the cable into tight spots for a few minutes. I also had a bit of trouble getting the window mount to secure, but I found that holding a lot of pressure while locking the mount secured it well after my 6th or 7th try. After driving for a bit I did need to reposition the camera slightly by turning it in order to reduce glare from the headlights of cars behind me. Also be aware that the camera does not rotate 360 degrees on the mount, it's got about a 120 degree arc so I recommend positioning the camera toward the center of the area it can rotate in when mounting so you can tweak the positioning without forcing yourself to re-mount it.If I could change one thing about the camera it would be adding bluetooth or wifi syncing so I don't have to remove the micro SD card to obtain footage. I read reviews before purchasing and knew this wouldn't be included, and for my purposes of essentially insuring myself in the case of a crash it wasn't a deciding factor for me, but it would be much more convenient to be able to review or download footage directly from the dashcam rather than being forced to remove the micro SD card.Feb 2021 update: It appears the color problems I was seeing were caused by the fact that I hadn't removed the adhesive lens protection that ships on the camera. After removing it the color seems fine.
Saul Castillo
Really good low-light performance, rear camera is an 18 MP and shoots pretty clear shots, the infrared camera is also really good.My only kind of complaint is that the Microphone Quality somehow managed to decrease, I have a Vantrue N2 Pro on my car and the Microphone is loud and clear, and then I installed the Vantrue N4 on my wife's car and the Microphone sounds Muffled. Besides that it's an outstanding Dash Cam really clean UI, and would recommend to anyone trying to get a dash cam.
Leonel Diaz
VanTrue N4 dash CAM has been the best camera I had use. Good quality picture and stability.I recommend it!
Customer
It works as advertised. Records three ways camera. The biggest problem with this camera is that the suction cup falls under the bright sunlight. I tried to message the company of the defect and ask for the replacement. But never heard back. Do not expect company support.
Sri H.
I am a big fan of vantrue N2 pro. It helped me catch a vehicle break-in in action. I ordered this product to expand the security to the rear side as well.Vantrue N4:Easy to install in my SUV (Ford Escape).Very high-resolution video in both daylight and night.Quickly format your memory card and set it up in the camera.Need Care -There is a small clearance between the memory card slot and the case. Careful in sliding the memory card into it.

I recently purchased this dash cam and installed it in my Jeep. So far so good. The install was simple and the quality of the camera is amazing.If i had to be picky, I would like to see the vendor improve the night vision due to glare from the lights on the road. Other then that, I am very happy with the purchase and would buy again.

Extremely disappointed it does not display the rear camera at all and there is no phone number to contact Vantru customer service

Best thing I bought for Uber n Lyft. But even just for insurance only now.

I had the N2 pro. This by far exceeds my expectations. I would definitely recommend.Super clear video and audio is great. My wife and I were discussing when I threw out the trash. Our conversation was being recorded and I use the little clip to provide proof. Man this little thing is a life savor. Now if I get pulled over for suspected criminal law that I was using my phone while driving this would provide proof that I didn't have anything.

This is the dash camera to buy it has excellent packaging excellent build quality and instructions.This device has hdmi out so you can connect to a hdmi display accessory if your vehicle is equipped and also includes a rear camera.The connections are simple to install and easy to understand as well as the functionality.Supports microSD U3 card up to 256GB.You will not be disappointed this is a great product

This is my first dash cam and has met all my expectations. My favorite feature is that this cam records the front, rear and the drivers seat. My one improvement comment would be to add functionality to connect the camera to your phone either through Bluetooth or wifi. It would be great to have footage stored on both the camera and my phone.

The VANTRUE OnDash N4 3-Channel Dash Cam is worthless. My old Cobra 1080P FHD from Costco for $45 is much better. Problems with the Vantrue N4 include, not being able to view the files on my PC, mounting the camera to the suction cup mount, getting the camera to turn on, etc. Just a few slightly important items that a reasonable customer would expect from a dash cam costing over $200, don't you think? Yes, I paid the extra money to get the official VANTRUE SD card. Don't make the same mistake I made. Also, they have no toll free phone number to call. You can email a message with your phone number and you can sit there forever with some hope that they'll call you.

This is horrible!!! not what i expected. I just recieved the unit and the mount doesnt power the unit for some reason.When i connect the cable directly the unit it power on..But u need the mount to work !!!! This is terrible quality control. Will be asking for a full refund immediately!!!
Tony arias
This is trash no video recording, NOTHING!!! so frustrated!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!

Everything about this camera is awesome. Quality, night vision, IR interior, etc.Easy install.You will need to purchase the GPS mount (extra), but it provides a good ROI overall.I would also recommend getting the 256GB micro SD since the file sizes are very large. I use scandisk extreme SD which seems to work well. Time will tell though.Make sure you upgrade firmware as well. Simple process!Have not used park mode.The only drawback is no wifi to pull the files down. If it had wifi, this would be hands down the best.

I really like this camera a lot. The video is clear and the cabin video at night looks great. My only complaint is it’s hard as heck to to take it off the mount. If you plan on using this in multiple vehicle like I do, you will quickly become aggravated trying to detach this cam from the mount. For that reason alone I gave it 4 stars.Update: finding additional power cords for a second or third vehicle is proving to be difficult. The N4 has a Type C USB and they do not offer them for sale. I guess this is what we get for buying Chinese products with no stateside support. Try to find a spare cable and you will see what I mean.

Seems to be a good camera. It was difficult to find a way to feed the wires into the back seat where the cigarette lighter was located. Wish it was wireless or a less wired design.

I browsed, read reviews, and looked at specs til they were starting to become a blur. I decided on the Vantrue N4 due its size, specs, and it checked the boxes of what I wanted. I also ordered the hardwire kit in order to be able to take advantage of the parking mode feature. After opening the box, I read through the manual, set the features and settings the way I wanted them, and took it out for a test drive. I have to say that 1440P is the way to go. The picture quality is perfect and colors are amazing. My purpose for the camera is for liability in the event of an accident and for catching all the action when going off-road. But as an added bonus, how many times have you been driving and seen something that you wish you could have caught on camera.... The N4 is loaded with all the features you really need and Vantrue has made it easy to operate and understand. And for those of you wanting a wifi/bluetooth connection for playback on your phone...... you can get an SD card reader for less than $20 and that will take care of phone playback. The Vantrue N4 is a really great choice in a quality dashcam.
Gun Monkey
This is an awesome camera. Packaging is top tier. Updating the firmware was a piece of cake. Setup and use is intuitive. So far no problems at all. Also ordered the hardwire kit. Its a great addition and adds needed capabilities. The only criticism I have is the camera is slightly difficult to remove from the mount for storage.
BENJAMIN RILLO
Just installed the N4 today, supper easy install, great quality video and audio. Loving it so far.
Lilly Uriarte
yes I like Vantrue N4 3 FOR my driver cool great! thank

Just got the product installed. Haven't tested night vision yet but day time quality is better than I expected. It was fairly easy to install myself, took about 20 minutes and I have no wires showing. Edit: after several months of using it is turning off and on again repeatedly while driving. Just reached out to support so we will see

(See 1/13/21 UPDATE BELOW). I’ve given this camera a one star for two reasons. 1.) I purchased two cameras. One for my vehicle and one for my wife’s vehicle. I have installed one camera in my vehicle for testing. At the price point for this camera, at the very least a memory stick should be included with the camera. When I opened the first camera box I was disappointed to not have a card to get started with. I guess I should have looked more closely, but I didn’t see anywhere in the Vantrue post for this item that it didn’t include a card. Okay #2.) and this is the big deal, this camera malfunctions with the memory card and forces me to reformat the card each time I switch off my vehicle. When I bought my first memory card, I didn’t know to get the U3 variety of card, which goes back to my point #1. So I wasted money on a card I really don’t need. I bought a second card and this time I purchased the Samsung 128GB U3 type card, but testing it today was the same card malfunction/reformat SD card. I have contacted Vantrue for help, and if they come through with some resolution, I’ll change my review. The first time I tested the camera, I was able to watch a few videos and the quality looked really good. We’ll see how it goes, but these cameras may be going back. (UPDATE 1/13/21) Am giving the camera four stars now. Vantrue was quick to send a link to update the firmware in the camera. That process was somewhat challenging, but eventually I got the update done. I've tested the camera now for about two weeks with no issues whatsoever. I haven't installed the second camera in my wife's vehicle but plan to do that soon. In just the last couple of days I've had two near misses on the road, so I am thankful to now have a camera on board.
Alex
great camera especially for those who work with Lyft or Uber. I ve got one for my dad who works sometimes as an Uber driver and he’s more than happy! yes , it’s a bit pricey comparing to many other cameras on market, but it is definitely worth the price. Of course, one of the most important, and what makes a difference from expensive to a cheaper one, is how it records videos at low light environment. That camera is doing great! Even the rear one showed very good quality, much better than cheaper brands with their main lens.
Jose j gutierrez
It’s got good quality and easy to use . Only drawback is the power connection Is in the suction cup assembly instead of the camera itself
Open your eyes!
I have tried the camera for about 6 weeks now and it keeps asking me to format the Vantrue card, 256gb, two to three times per week. I tried resetting the camera and changing the settings in different combinations without success. The picture quality is good and so is the recording angle but it suddenly stops recording to ask me to reset the card; sometimes it does not ask me and it just stop recording. On a trip an accident happened and I was asked to provide a copy of the event and guess what? It was not even recording... Now, the company recommends to avoid other SD card brands to prevent this from happening but even with their SD card still does. I would be cautious about buying such an expensive devise which clearly does not perform as it should. I contacted their support a couple of times but once their website froze and the other time I have not received a response even as they claim to respond within 24 hours.

These photos show my camera installed and operating (photos taken inside my garage tonight). Very clear, high resolution video, playback, etc. for all three camera views! I would recommend this camera to any share driver or for your own personal vehicle if you live in a high traffic area.

Hands down one of the best dash cams i have had. This not only has a camera on the front and inside of the cabin. But it also has the back of the car which is a huge plus. Not many cameras on the market have this option these days and if it does the quality is not up to par. If you have a young driver in your life or someone that even just started driving this is one of the dash cams that will save them if needed since all angles of the car are covered. Not to mention, if you are a cab driver this is also great because you can see inside, outside and the back of the car. Great part about this one is that it can be hard wired to the car which means it has the ability to be ran 24/7 even when the car is off. One negative i can see of this camera however is the suction cup it comes with. If the sun is beaming on it for a while it will lose its suction and the camera will fall. So that is one thing to note when it comes to this camera or any camera in general.
David R Jones
I love this camera, I am a lyft Driver and i only do it part time. I Have not had to use the video from in the car yet. I have looked at it a lot. Most of my rides see the camera and ask about it. they think it is a good idea to have one. The video on the Front and back camera are just good. the in cabin video is OK. I also add on the wireing kit of the fuse box and the GPS. I will take a look at the GPS video and talk about that soon. I would tell you to buy this if you do not have a lot of money to spend on camera system
Steph
This is worth the money. Its held up through hot Texas days and colder winter nights. This Camera is flawless in recording quality, has great memory (be sure to buy the Vantrue SD card) and is durable. I only have 2 small things that I wish held up better:1. The suction cup releases with temperature changes so the the camera falls. I have the cords attached to the roof so no harm really, I used to come out to my car with my camera dangling do I now just detach the camera and lock in my glove compartment when not driving. This is NOT PRACTICAL IF WANTING TO USE THIS CAMERA WHEN NOT DRIVING FOR SURVEILLANCE.2. The sound on the Camera no longer works after months of use. Not sure if the small speakers on the camera just went out or if the camera just stopped recording sound all together.All in all, this camera captures everything I need on video when driving. Good picture quality, but small defective parts/annoyances.

I purchased this dashcam as an upgrade for from an N2 Pro. The installing for the wiring was very easy running them under the trims and rubber seals along the top. I have a 4 door vehicle with a lift back and the length of the cables were more than enough. After installation. Everything worked flawlessly. Picture quality was excellent. The parking mode works very well. It senses motion as far as 33 feet away to automatically start recording so any persons or vehicle within that range is recorded. In cabin audio recording is very good. The IR night vision is bright enough to light up the whole cabin without ambient light. Overall, we are very happy with the product and highly recommend to anyone looking for a high quality dashcam.

The quality and features are good. However it’s missing the app. If it gets stolen, there goes all the evidence.

This camera is great! It records everything in super high quality videos. It has so many options for recording and it is the best in the market. Highly recommended!
Johnny Lozano
Well I bought this dash cam for a parking camera, but I have no idea if it even records. Trying to capture someone hitting my car in the parking lot. Another issue I don't know if I have a defective one but is the SD card compatibility. At first I did have a mediocre SD card that I used for my Gopro but I thought it would be fine for what it was. Everytime I got into the car it seemed it wanted me to reformat the card which was annoying and I have no idea if its recording. Now that I bought this super expensive SD card that both reads and writes at high speeds, it is still having this formatting issue. Not cool for how much cash I ditched out for this camera I would say steer clear, or maybe I got the short end of the stick.It does record pretty well when it is working though.Installation was easy and I was able to hide the wires well.2-10-21Tried to email the company directly but have not gotten any response, if I was able to return the camera I would have.
Tom Carter
I have utilized several dash cameras in the past six years and by far, this one exceeds all expectations. The clarity of the video is sharp and clear. You can actually see the license plates of other vehicles. The three camera system was a plus to document events surrounding you. The price for this camera is good. With the excellent quality on image capturing, it would be indisputable evidence used in court cases and insurance claims. One thing would be nice; to include image stabilizing. I would pay extra for this feature.
Noufal
Likes - daytime picture quality is really good. Well built, surprisingly good quality, USB C connection, decent rear camera connection cable.Dislikes - Night time pic quality can be improved, rear camera connection cable; couple of more feet could have helped to hide the cable.Worth the value, was able to get a plate details from a high speed driving video using VLC snap.
Aji
What the heck man!. I have never thought that this will create such a sharp quality!, I know it's probably too much just for a dashcam, but who wouldn't enjoy a good video right?. This is a little bit pricey, tbh that might hinder you to buy it in the first place but it will surely not disappoint you. I have looked online and watched youtube before buying it and I am impresseed. The downside though, depending on what car you have, installing it might be a little bit tricky and the supplied wire might not be enough to suit your needs.I haven't been able to use its night mode, so surely will update you on this!
spencer
Amazing camera been using it for a week and works great! Looks great too. Going to buy another one for my other vehicles easy hookup the longest thing was finding where to put the wires. Great camera!
Sherif Fares
This product is really good.Videos of all 3 cameras are great at any time of day and I love the fact that I have 3 cameras not two like most other manufacturers.My car got vandalized couple of months back that's why I bought this dachcsm, it gives me peace of mind.
Jameel
Wish the screen was larger, screen brightness adjustment is a must and WiFi would be nice but overall a solid dash cam

camera kept crashing and rebooting. I sent it in for a replacement, then they want to charge me for the camera now. AVOID!!!
Shaydon
Ok Ok we all know we didn't purchase this dash cam for just the unboxing experience but I just had to start with that because its great! I mean like really just go to YouTube and checkout some of the vids and you'll see what I mean.But moving on to the real review.. Setting up this camera is super easy and moving through the menu/settings is straight forward. It will only take you like 10 minutes max to completely setup the camera the way you like it then the fun part begins of hooking it up to your vehicle.The installation process is once again extremely easy (minus tucking the cables-insert OCD here, lol) and once you decided on how you would like it to be powered you're ready to hit the road and have external and internal footage. Video quality is really great and the sounds quality is pretty good for a dash cam.All in all this is a great buy for the price and gives a piece of comfort for any crazy driving events and for those times you might need it if you're pulled over.Cheers
Byron Eduardo
N4 has really clear quality video resolution, night vision is fantastic very clear as well, has a big screen, and very easy to use interface, I just update it to the new firmware V7, installation process was super easy, and fast, overall great product, have not used a lot since I just bought it a few days ago, but so far so good, very impressed with the video quality and the material used in the construction of camera, it just looks great, just ordered the hardwire kit for a permanent installation.

hardware. every piece of this system is great. solid materials. durable. wires are flexible but not at all flimsy. no worry about kinks or damage make installation a brreze for anyone. oerfect length for back cam installation...no excess to wrap up and find somewhere to stuff it. suction on the mount goes on the first time and stays in place thru desert temp fluctuations and daily sun shield install and removal. provides extremely stable foundation for crystal clear video, inside the vehicle as well as front facing.video. all 3 cameras grab hd video covering nearly every inch of the vehicle. crisp stable images every time. the ir on the inside provides shockingly good night vision.i haven't found any cons. however, if you want wifi you wont find it here. for safety, i think manual transfer is best.highly recommend!*to make the most of the features of the cam, get the hard wire kit. flawless.**also, u need to get the vantrue microds 256gb. quality card and recording.
Gina DeCola
I love this dash cam, this is the best dashboard camera that I have ever used in my life. Also the best one that I have seen. A little pricey yes, but way worth it. As an Uber driver I have come to find out that a dashcam is a definite must have to protect not just your vehicle as far as accidents go but to also protect your passengers and most of all yourself. The picture quality in all three cameras is perfect/crystal clear. Its a very impressive design and easy to set up and use overall. I most definitely recommend this dashcam for anyone, especially if you are in the rideshare/delivery industry.
Leo
The front and cabinet camera is great. The only problem I have is the back camera because it is hard to get a good quality pic with tinted windows at night. Besides that, it is a great dash cam to have and highly recommended.
Sergio R
I love this Camera it’s hd video everyone has to have it, be security I used to fight a accident and bingo I won no question at all

Nice Uber CamerasPROS: great quality video, easy to set up. flashing blue light to tell you it is working (screen blacks out after a short time) has 3 cameras each of which creates its own file. This is great because you can give the police the file with the accident and not the one of you inside cussing. It creates the files for the amount of time you set so they are not too big. I found the default of 10 min files were around half a GB each. Has a setting if idle for so long it will turn off. lots of other settings such as snapshot if your car is bumped. Video lock if in an accident and a lot of others.CONS: Get the biggest SD card (256?) if want to keep video for more than a few hours. you can adjust the res to make the files smaller if needed though, but keep in mind there are 3 files, one for each camera. took several try's to get date and time to take. not impressed with the night vision. price is not cheap and if you want GPS monitor you pay even more.I have an always on cigarette lighter so I paid for the fuse box cable. It works great and shuts the camera down if my battery drops below 11.7 volts.I do recommend the largest SD card, GPS, and power cord.

Awesome dash cam. Camera quality is superb. I like that the suction cup window mount has the a place to connect the power wire to reduce clutter. The screen size is big enough to see when driving. I also like that I can switch to the rear camera on full screen mode while driving or backing up. The night vision on this cam is far better than any other dash cam I’ve ever owned. The only complaint I have is the ease of transferring the videos from the cam to a computer or my phone. If it had wireless connectivity to your phone to sync with, this camera would be 100% perfect. Due to this I have rated this camera at 4 stars. To retrieve videos you have to either remove the memory card or connect to a computer with a micro usb cord. I’m not too worried about having a GPS on the camera but if you are you can purchase the optional mount with a GPS. Would definitely recommend this dash cam.
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.
