This 3 Camera Dash Cam has you covered front to back (and inside too)!Reviewed in the United States
When it comes to dash cameras you have to ask yourself what am I buying this for? If you are like me you are buying it for protection, insurance and the ability to review what you have seen in your driving adventures. For the last one this would have been great years ago when I went 4x4ing with my Jeep.From the start you can see this is a high quality product, even the boxes were top notch. I loved that the power cord had a bonus USB port in the back so that you don't starve your other devices of power. The cables seemed to be made of high quality materials and the mounting for the window was also well throughout. I wasn't a huge fan of the "quick" disconnect on the unit though, it requires a lot of effort to separate but then again this isn't something you have to do very often.The menus are pretty straight forward but you have a lot of options to customize the system to your desired needs. This may get some people anxious but realize the factory standard setting will work for 99% of the customers. I love having all of the different options.The camera viewing screens can be changed showing just one camera or up to all three. It also has a mute button to keep any private discussions from getting out ;^)The video quality is fantastic for all three cameras. The front one looks fantastic at 2K and the inside camera is more then enough at 1080. The rear camera also pleasantly surprised me, taking great details even through limo black tinting. Please take a look at the video I uploaded; it wasn't taken at ideal time of day but I thought it would be a good real world example for those staying at home.Ponie up and pay the extra, you will be happy each time you use it. The video and audio are fantastic and the build quality seems great as well. Nice job Vantrue!

Dash cam would suddenly stop recording in the middle of the trip after use for one year. Tried everything reset the camera and bought new memory cards , formatted the cards.it just records and you don’t know when it stops recording. I drive rideshare and this is not acceptable for me. I bought another n4 pro , if it does the same thing again . Will never buy from this company again. Very disappointed

Very customizable, has a shock sensor in case someone hits your car unattended, has motion detection which works perfectly, and video quality inside and from the rear is excellent day or night and front cam is just as good. Love the three way footage, audio recording, and night vision as it’s good for much more than collision. Can record theft, potential thieves, hit and runs, etc. Sony components on camera. Like that it can be hardwired for continuous usage a must in my opinion would strongly recommend it. I don’t seem to have issues with the mount either it’s stuck on firm on my tinted windshield since day one unlike some other reviews. My absolute biggest complaint is the display screen completely blacks out and the unit gets extremely hot when parked in direct sun. At first I though humidity was the issue but it seems to be heat itself. After driving a while the black fades away and the display returns but it has colored lines and/or gritty display. Actually recorded footage doesn’t seem effected but this is extremely annoying and complaint worthy given the price point. I went with this model for the excellent features, company, and reviews here on online. I’ve seen dashcam footage from the Middle East to Russia. I live in the Midwest, and though I have a dark colored car and it’s summer I can’t believe for this price point a dashcam has such issues in relatively moderate temperature compared to other regions and when a dashcam’s sole place is in a vehicle windshield with varying temperature exposures. It should be designed better to handle temperature and as mentioned footage seems unaffected it’s just the display but this could potentially cause issues if you need to show the footage for legal/accident purposes and have no way of reviewing it via the memory card. As a plus, I have been in contact several times with the seller and they have replied promptly and courteously and have offer varied solutions but the problem persists. As of now, I could only recommend this if you live in very solid and temperate area not too hot or cold maybe California or such; or cover your windshield or park in shard constantly which defeats its purpose or isn’t always possible.

I'm been doing rideshare & food delivery driving 3 yrs and my trusty N2 Pro's battery is now shot so it was time to upgrade. Ive only had my new N4 a few days and havent installed it yet, but wanted to post a preliminary review about some key points I've discovered so far. First, watch the brief video showing how quickly the rear cam adjusts to widely-changing light amounts...its almost instant! This quick-adjust capability is important to me cause I do lots of driving at night and the increasing amount of other car drivers behind me with highbeams on, is bugging me more and more. I'm also replacing my standard non-dimming rear view mirror with a high tech one so with this plus the N4, I'm hoping the issues of overly-bright headlights behind me will disappear. The rear cam should work great through my 35% max-legal tint on the rear window. And for me and other 'commercial' drivers who rain-x their windows regularly, rain droplets and dust shouldnt hinder the rear view much at all. Once I install and have a video of its performance in the rain, I'll post & update this review. Second, note how much bigger the N4's screen is vs the N2 Pro's! Its about 2.5x bigger. I plan to mount my N4 up high so it'll be real close to my face. Thus I'm hoping I'll be able to use it as a 'general purpose' backup camera (though I know that since the the rear cam will be mounted on rear window, it wont be that useful for the dreaded 'blind reversing' out of a parking stall when next to a big SUV. I'd need a license plate-mounted backup camera with 180 degree field of view for this specific purpose) One amateurish mistake Vantrue made with the N2 Pro is they made its front-view lens protrude slightly from the unit, meaning one could eventually scratch the lens from putting it lens-downwards on the table or rattle around in the glovebox, lots. But the N4's lens is recessed enough that the circular housing functions as the typical lip to help protect the lens from this. (I know the pic doesnt show this difference all that well, sorry) Lastly, I've tested using my Samsung EVO Plus (top of the line) and EVO Select 256 micro SD cards a little, and they both seem to work just fine. The red EVO Plus was one of the most-commonly recommended SD cards to use in the N2 Pro as of a few yrs ago, so I'm sure there's tons of gig economy drivers like me who already have a bunch. When I've tested both types of cards extensively, I'll update my review. The Select model's about $10 cheaper so hopefully it'll suffice.

The inside camera is so good you almost don't need the rear camera.Reviewed in the United States
This was a great upgrade from my previous camera that I had for three years. It does it all with its three channels and amazing video quality. The inside facing camera is very good, as you can se from my picture, and that alone would be good enough for recording the rear of your car. The additional rear camera is just a great bonus to add to the overall coverage this camera offers. The suction cup mount is secure, holds in place well, and can be positioned so it is mostly covered by the rearview mirror so you almost forget you have it. My only complaint is the power cord is plugged in from the top and not the side, but if you are tucking the wire directly into the headliner this wouldn't be an issue (I purchased an angled USB-C adaptor and all is well). Overall, I am very happy with this camera and would recomend it for anyone looking for a quality full coverage dash cam.

This dashcam supports 3 channels - front, inside, and rear cameras. That makes the system complete. The packaging is also first class. You feel like getting something from Apple. Installation is not complicated but routing the cables takes some work. Although this is true for any camera systems. The picture quality is up to the stated resolution. I am happy with it. There's only one minor area they can improve. The installation menu can use an illustration for rear camera connection. It does have a photo depicting the connection but not very obvious. I missed it first and wonder how to connect the rear camera. It's there but you have to read the text.

I am a regular customer for quality Vantrue DashCams. This is my second dash cam I purchased from them. It is indeed worth the monies spent and serve the purpose for any gig working out there. My self uses this while doing Uber,Lyft,Instacart etc. Vantrue dash cam have really saved me from false claim by others when involved in any kind of mishaps while driving, it records truth about the event and helped with insurance claim twice and I won both the cases. My compliments to Vantrue management for giving such a great dash-cams. I highly recommend Vantrue dash-cams for anyone who like to use while driving for any purpose and save unwanted expenses occurring from false claims.keep it up Vantrue giving excellent dash-cams. There is no completion to their dash-cams.

This Dash Cam has three cameras, including one for the passenger cabin. It provides an almost 360-degree record of the environment around the car. I just wish it came with GPS too, but they sell It for a relatively little extra, you can also add GPS functionality so you’ll be able to view your speed, location, and routes traveled using the included video player.I like that it also records the sounds inside the car. That could be so useful one day!One of the main drawbacks of the dashcam is that it doesn’t have wireless capabilities which means it can’t connect to my smartphone, so if I want to export or view recorded footage on a larger screen I will have to either remove the microSD card or connect the dash cam to a TV or computer.The camera that captures inside of the car is equipped with infrared lamps for good visibility, even in total darkness. The rear-facing camera attaches to the back window and records in 1080p. The star of the show, however, is the primary, front camera: capable of 1440p, 30 fps recording (or 1520p if the other cameras are switched off), it uses a WDR Sony Starvis sensor. This is currently a kind of industry standard and highly prized for its reliable performance in all types of lighting.This array of cameras is combined with a beneficial technology: video motion detection. Aside from the impact sensor, which measures shock and acceleration, this dash cam’s parking mode will trigger a recording whenever it detects a significant change in the image within the field of view of any camera.By contrast with the GPS module, this will mean a bit of DIY on your part (the GPS add-on resides in a replacement mount and requires no skill to get working).Since this particular dash cam uses a supercapacitor rather than an internal battery, you’ll need to connect some wires to your car’s fuse box rather than relying on the normal 12V outlet (as these generally switch off when the key is removed from the ignition). This kit is neither expensive nor difficult to install but maybe too much of a hassle if you’re looking for a truly plug-and-play solution.The dashcam gives some flexibility in terms of what I want to record: I can turn off audio recording, the interior camera, and the rearview. I can also select a time-lapse mode (which is useful for recording a trip, either to show MY employer that I wasn’t wasting time or to supplement my ordinary holiday snapshots) and adjust the sensitivity of the impact sensor.The dashcam can be configured in several different ways. For example, you can choose to tilt the rear-facing interior camera at the front up and down through 60 degrees or mount the rear camera reversed to give a more detailed overview of the passenger compartment.* The screen size is not that big like most dashcam screen, therefore you won’t be able to see much when displaying all three channels at once (this is the default operating mode when all cameras are being recorded). The same 3-picture display isn’t available on your phone or computer: the Vantrue Player doesn’t give you the option of synchronizing the three feeds that can be a drawback.* A bigger problem is that you also can’t adjust the brightness – falling between two chairs, it’s a little distracting at night and a little challenging to make out when it’s bright outside (you can judge for yourself if you watch the video a little further down).* Since you can’t connect the dashcam via WiFi, you have to remove the front dash cam unit and connect it to a computer to export videos, or play them directly on a television using the micro-HD output. Alternatively, you can yank out the memory card and read it using the included microSD to USB converter.* Thanks to an impressive 256 gigabytes of storage, however, you get about 16 hours of recordings when all three channels are in use. This way, if you just delete the footage of trips where nothing happened, you won’t have to export or view it elsewhere very often.Pros* Cheaply upgraded with GPS capability* Nearly all-round view* Good nighttime views inside and in front of the car* Easy installation* Good video qualityCons* Have to install hardwire kit to use parking mode* Cumbersome to export video footage* Somewhat expensive, even with its 3 cameras

This camera is High quality and the best camera out there. Came nicely packaged in the box and nothing was wrong with the box when it arrived. Would recommend to anyone who is an Uber or Lyft driver. Or anyone who just wants peace of mind while driving.

I needed another dash cam for the other car. My wife is in car insurance law, so when this N4 became available with the rear window camera she was all for it. The more evidence the better.The camera is packaged extremely well with a short user guide and longer manual. All necessary cables for both powering the camera in the car and also to connect up to a computer. The only extra thing you need is a micro SD card.I was able to easily get the camera setup with a microSD installed. Set the language, date, time, and format the card. You can see in the close up picture. Small top left is the rear passenger camera, small top right is the rear windshield camera, and the big picture is the front facing.I stuck it to my windshield using the provided suction cup attachment and got to running the cables. I like the cables to be run extremely cleanly, mainly because if my kids saw a new cable they would probably pull on it. I was able to tuck everything away and will describe how next. You can see, or well can’t see, how the cables are all hidden away.An install tip. Having done this a few times now I have found the key to installing in tight areas and under seals is a couple of the free metal paint can openers. The bent tip is perfect for lifting a seal and pushing the round cable under.First was the main power cable. That can run up into the headliner and across to the passenger side pillar and down. Then under the glove compartment. I had extra cable, but it can just tuck away in the dash near the 12V power and shifter.Next is the long run to the rear windshield. This cable also starts from the camera. So up into the headliner it goes, then over following the other cable to the passenger side pillar. Now instead of going down we tuck it into the seal along the top, through to the back seats and then continue to the trunk. You can see the cable poke out of the seal to go direct to the camera in the top of the 5th picture. I had a lot of extra cable, but fortunately there is usually a lot of space behind the plastic covers, so I just tucked it all in there. The rear camera rotates so you can stick it on and then rotate it for the right angle as the rear window is generally at an angle. Yes, I did say stick on. It uses a 3M sticky pad for the rear, not a suction cup. It also comes with a spare sticky pad. I imagine for moving to a new car if needed.Pros:Very easy to install.Video quality is great.USB-C connection now instead of the older mini USB.Cons:I wish it had built in wifi like some of the other models have. Without the wifi I need to either show the video from the small screen, or connect up to my laptop if I have it.

I have never written a product review on Vantrue but I was so impressed with the quality of this dash cam that I had to write on here. This is literally the best dash cam in the market today! I will be purchasing two more for the family vehicle.
Christopher Lee
The Vantrue dash cam is a lot smaller than I anticipated. It fit easily on the windshield, just be sure to really push in on the suction cup before installing. The dash cam itself was very easy to get up and running. Do remember that the SD card you insert has to be formatted through the dash cam (go to format through the menu).Image quality is really good. Really impressed with the cabin camera with infrared. Held up to hot weather and the sun beaming down on it for a whole day. It was hot to touch, but ran perfectly.Motion detection was fairly sensitive, which was good and picked up motion with all the tests I ran.If you are a rideshare driver, this is a must!

I agree with most of the many positive reviews. See UPDATE below. You only get 2K picture quality by shutting off the other two cameras; otherwise it’s 1080P for all three. It’s not bad but I haven’t tried to read license plates yet. The manual confused me with the comment that the camera should not be left on for “too long”. I pressed for details and got back static. My friends and I have different brands of dash cams and had no issues with this. I live where every Summer is a heat wave. I hope Vantrue will upgrade to 4K resolution for all three cameras, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth and an app. My screen goes black when it’s 100 degrees outside but still records. I’m sure my car gets much hotter. If the capacitor doesn’t last long enough to view recordings when unplugged (about 10 seconds). It seems handy for saving the current recording before it stops.UPDATE 2022-February. 1.5 years later.I’ve had very minor issues leaving this camera on 24/365 after getting used to it.1. Make sure I use high endurance SD cards and format them at least monthly.2. Hard reset the camera weekly or more.3. Not cheap but I had a second battery installed just for the camera so I can run it all the time without draining my starter battery.Now it’s extremely reliable and I’m super happy!

This dashcam is one of a kind! The rear camera rotates so it can be easily be set up to any car. The picture is clear and the night mode captures it all. I also ordered the GPS and it shows your speed and location.I recommend it to anyone who wants to have a peace of mind while driving!

Updated Review: 11/28/20Got rear ended at night time, and the video quality was so bad we could not read the license plate number from the vehicle that hit us from the rear, the driver sped away really fast and the rear and front cams picture is blurry when it comes to reading or zooming in on the license plate of the driver that hit us, while this camera picture quality is great in the daytime, its awful in the night time during low light, and who is to say like in our case an accident will happen at night with low light rendering this cam useless.Cons:Does (NOT) have Wi-Fi.Does (NOT) have cloud storage like some other cams.Does (NOT) have apps to install on your phone to view videosCould (NOT) open video file with older Computer programs.I wish we were better educated on cam features before buying this. Return window expired. Learn from our experience and invest in a cam that has more features such as Wi-Fi, cloud storage, phone app, and definitely better night vision, go with 4k with at least 30-60 fps (Recording in Frames per seconds) highly recommended 4k with 60 fps based on my research. We rely on reviews and reviews have helped us many times in deciding what to buy, Hope this review helps you decide what you want. based on my research I'm undecided on either buying the Blackvue 900X or the Thinkware U1000. Anyone that owns those I would love your feedback on nighttime pic quality?Original Review:I'm very impressed by this dash cam, and customer service was very helpful in helping me figure some stuff out, picture quality is good. 5 stars :)
Steve
So far this product is very nice. I would like to see a feature that will allow zoom-in on areas of the frame chosen so one can ID license plate numbers. I think this would be very valuable.
makneas
Very happy with the camera and quality. Watched YouTube and installed it without showing cables. Looks perfect. Very clean image for front, rear and inside.
Amira
I've used several dashcams in the past, this one really was the best of all that I've tried!3 cameras in one, IR night vision for the internal video, and 1440p for the main cam! This all-in-one solution solves the issue of missing any important angles from your car, you get all the important ones: Front, rear and inside! If you are an uber, lyft or any other type of delivery driver, this would be a MUST HAVE!I don't have a commercial use case myself for this, I put it on my family car, but it is great peace of mind for my car in case I ever need the footage.This rivals my other car which I put a front and rear dashcam on, since this is an all-in-one solution with 1 memory card and charger, much easier to manage.Highly recommended, I'll probably be getting a few more!
Duy Tran
This is the best of those dash cams which I been use before, the design is very nice, the quality is clear, easy to install and delivered on time! Im so satisfied with this product

This is my 3rd Vantrue dash cam. I was impressed with the N2, it was easy to install, had forward and rearward camera and night vision. It works well so I decided to get a second for my other car. By then the N2 Pro was available and it worked even better. Buying a new car and decided to upgrade to the N4. Very impressed it just keeps getting better. The addition rear camera takes a minute to hide the wiring but is a great addition. I researched every dash cam I could find before buying my first Vantrue and even looked at the cameras friends had. I still think the Vantrue is the best all around for ease of install, ease of use and quality of video. I did provide video of a crash to someone I was following and it completely settled who was at fault.
Dustin Vu
I have been using Vantrue N2 for about a year now, the dashcam is still working great overall. Last month, I gave a try to buy a different brand dashcam and return right away after using it for a week. I was very disappointed at all. Stick with Vantrue brand, I bought another one called Vantrue N4, one of the best dashcams so far. This cam offers 3 different ways around the car, front, inside cabin, and road back. The video quality is pretty great, with very clear images, high resolution. The motion detection and parking mode are very quick and sensitive. The dashcam also supports high capacity of the sd card. Highly Recommend.
Daniel B.
Having previously owned Vantrue's N2 camera with front and cabin recording, I was pleased to see that they released an N4 model which added a rear camera to the unit. This is great since I've always wanted the additional rear view recording, and I'm super happy with the N4 as it provides an excellent image quality and reliable recording of my surroundings.The set up is very easy, wasn't sure how the rear camera would connect but they include a 20' USB-C cable that hooks up to the main unit. I was able to neatly tuck this into the outside of the headliner so that the cord isn't in my way.Quality wise I am happy with the results I am getting from the N4. If using just the front camera your maximum resolution is 1592x1520, while recording all 3 separate views at once provides video resolution of 1440p for the front and 1080p for interior and rear. The auto exposure seems to be spot on as does the auto white balance. My rear window is tinted and in daylight the image quality is still clear. The interior view of the cabin is also great whether in daytime or night thanks to the IR view. This is super helpful for rideshare drivers.All in all I feel like the N4 will always be in my car, it's a worthwhile investment to have the security and peace of mind out on the road. I'm not sure if Vantrue can come out with a better successor as this cam seems to be perfect for me so not sure if they can improve on it, but we will see. For now I am very satisfied with the purchase and recommend this.

I use this product for my protection & for my family especially when we have a road trip somewhere far away from home. And if you got pulled over by a wrong cop with a wrong citation you can show the video to the judge to contest your citation.I love the picture & the video quality of this pruduct.I got it hard wire to cover my parking monitoring. Especially overnight parking.
Charlie W.
It is extremely clear with a wide area of view for the rear camera. I bought 3 and it even displays clearly through tint.
Brannon
This is my first dash cam and so far it doesn’t disappoint. It was super easy to set up. The night vision has a great picture/video. You can record noise or turn it off. When you register it, it comes with an 18 month warranty. I like having the super capacitor because I leave it in my car during extreme heat. I have had things with batteries and the expand when they get hot. Anytime I have contacted customer service with a question, the have responded quickly, so thats a plus. I highly recommend giving Vantrue a try if you are looking into getting a great quality dash cam.

Connie Steptoe
Dislike : Power source connection connects only to suction cup mount. Can not use without the Mount.Camera quality is poor for the price. To see a license plate number you must be within about 5 feet of the car.I also bought the Vantrue 256GB MicroSDXC UHS-I U3 V30 Class 10 4K UHD Video High Speed Transfer Monitoring SD Card with Adapter for Dash Cams, Body Cams, Action Camera, Surveillance & Security Cams also and it makes you reformat about every 15 days. So you are better off just buying a generic one, since you are going to have to reformat all the time no matter what you do.I would not buy this product again. Low QUALITY PRODUCT, HIGH PRICE. BUYER BEWARE
Jason A Velick
The product is very easy to install and setup. No issues with SD Micro. The image quality is superb! I love this dash cam. Definitely recommend the N4 for 3 channel performance.
JP
Received my n4 and can't wait to install it. Previously had the n2pro which I also loved, but got the n4 because I needed a camera for the back and I like the fact that the n4 has front, inside and rear view all in one. Havent used it yet so I will update my review later but I will say based on the n2pro gets clear video day and night, amazing sound and pics, and where I live its really hot and camera works great. The only thing is the ducking cup sometimes comes off I guess from the heat. But that is not a game changer just wipe your windshield with rubbing alcohol and it sticks fine.. you won't be disappointed becauseUpdateBeen meaning to uldate my review. I wasnt able to install my dash cam right away. I finally install it and after a week the screen blacks out. Its fine in the morning and I get to work then when I leave work the cam screen is black. Then the next day it has gotten a little better that you can see. It might be just a freak malfunction cause I know sometimes that happens not saying this brand sucks. I wish though I would have kept my other dash cam and not spent this much money on this one.
Seuss
but one of channel went bad in 3 months. I disconnected a power and re-connect as recommended by Vantrue support but it went bad again in a few hours. You can check from my photo that listed files and 2 of A channel video files are not normal and playback with only 2 channels instead of 3 channels. I requested a technical support again so I will update later based on how it goes.Updated on 7/28/20I had an issue with front camera that failed to display & record. I had to contact with customer service-actually I am having a long history with CS since I ordered OBD cable- then they sent me a new one to re-try it. They had to re-send another one since first replacement was nowhere on the way to carrier. The CS response is quite good and can see they are work for CUSTOMER so I change my rate from 3 to 5. Will keep update.

I've had two Vantrue N2 Pro as of last year for both of my cars and they worked great, with a moderate deficiency for one of the cameras that was taken cared of at a good pace by the Vantrue team! Now both of those cameras are going into my family's cars because I selfishly bought a N4 and now planning to buy another one for my cars! The three-channel setup was the deal breaker for me, and like the N2 Pro, the qualities in built and recording so far are great! One thing that was very different for me when it comes to the N4 files though, is that you now need a software like VLC to view the videos where the N2 Pro did not require that; unless you pay $1 for the codec with Microsoft's media player.
Jose Zapata
This camera is amazing! This way I feel safe knowing if something happens I have it all recorded, prevents countless hours and days trying to prove how any accident was not my fault. Definitely recommend!!

I'm refunding mine before the 30 days run out. I loved this camera at first until I started noticing problems which I will get to later in this review. Mine was hard-wired into my 2019 Honda Civic using Vantrue's kit and Vantrue's 256GB Micro SD card.The good-3 way dash camera, rare to find right now.-Amazing camera quality all-around.-Easy overall setup.-Simple and clean GUI.-Interior camera has night vision.-USB C baby.The bad-Micro SD card is DIFFICULT to put in and pull out. You better have some long nails or a tool.-Suction cup isn't perfect. Mine fell twice in the first week before getting lucky and not having it fall any time after that. Just imagine going to your car to find the camera hanging there.-No built in WiFi, so no phone app.-No built in GPS.-Microphone sucks, sounds muffled compared to the Vantrue N2. Check Youtube.-Why I refunded mine.-Constantly needing to restart the dash cam to activate all the cameras. Sometimes one or two wouldn't be detected while the others would be. I'd either restart it or unplug the back camera to get it all working TOGETHER.-One time everything would be on and recording fine. I park and come back to my car an hour later. All cameras are on the picture is frozen. I see my front seats like I'm not in the car. The timer is going but nothing is happening.-One time all cameras were recording but the cabin camera came back as unplayable files while the others were fine.No it's not user error, no it's not any settings. It's either buggy software with good hardware or vice versa. I'm not sticking around to decide or trouble shoot a $350 camera. (dash cam, memory card, hardwire kit, tax)There's many other options on the market. Have a good day.

I didn't think this dashcam was going to be worth the money, but even though it costs like triple the dashcam I have in my other vehicle, it really is worth every penny.Unlike many other dashcams out there the menu options are easy to understand and setup is simple. The actual installation is pretty easy too, just keep in mind you do have to run the (long enough for my Chevy Suburban!!) cable from the rear camera along the whole vehicle somewhere inside.Picture quality is absolutely fantastic from all three cameras. I've attached a screenshot of video from all three cameras to my review. It's unfortunate the camera is so clear because it makes it obvious how messy my work truck is. Oops! Night vision is also very good, you can read license plates no problem.The build quality of the camera is also worthy of five stars although I'm not a huge fan of the mount for the main camera unit. The USB-C power cable goes through the mount which is nice but it rotates 90 degrees to lock and the cable sticks up so you can't put the camera all the way at the top of the window because the connector gets in the way. Also, the ball socket thing on the mount takes some fiddling to get tight enough so you can press the buttons on the camera without it moving around.Packaging is very apple-esque. Professional and nice to look at.Overall this is a top-notch dashcam that's worthy of five stars and the price tag but I would like to see some refinement of the mounting system.

The picture quality works great. Unfortunately, the parking mode (my main reason for buying this) did not work properly. I had it hardwired and the unit went into standby after 5 minutes. It would not come back out of standby when I opened the car door, shut the door and started the car up. I also hip checked the vehicle and shook it from outside and that did not trigger it to come out of standby. It would periodically come on 2-3 minutes later, usually when I hit a bump. If I slammed my door extra hard, there was a 50/50 chance it would trigger the unit and come on. This is unacceptable. I went round and round with tech support. Their conclusion was that my vehicle was built well, so by me shaking/bumping the car, or casually closing the door, that was not enough. I'm not paying $200+ dollars for a unit that may or may not work properly. I also feared that if my vehicle was bumped by another car, I'm not sure it would cut on.

I upgraded my entry level dashcam to the Vantrue N4 and now understand the difference between a cheap dashcam and a good quality one. Upon receipt of delivery, my initial impressions were that the packaging was impressive and draws similarities to the packaging of other premium electronic companies. It made me feel like I had purchased a truly high quality device. After opening the box and unwrapping the front camera I immediately noticed the heft and tough feeling of it. The advertising claims this device can withstand high temperatures and by the feel of it, I do not doubt that claim.Installing the device itself was very easy, but for me it took about an hour as I meticulously tucked away all the wires in between the frame and headliner/side pillars of my vehicle.After starting up my vehicle, the camera instantly powered on and I could see the three channels displayed sharply on the camera screen. This was a big upgrade from what I was used to because my previous dashcam screen was half the size of this one. I liked how I could see the front, rear, and inside of my vehicle simultaneously and that I knew that this was all being recorded.I may update this review after I drive around with this device some more and review the recordings. So far I can say that this device is excellent.

So I had the N2 Pro and I loved it!! Upgrade to the N4 and it’s amazing!! Not only it was better.... the dash included a third camera for the back!! I have a 2016 Toyota 4Runner SR5 and driving in the south made me realized people here suck at driving.Only down fall to this dash cam, is that the cord for the rear camera is long enough. I had to buy a longer cable for it. And you had to seperately but the hard wire kit and GPS module. Ooooh and!!! My N2 Pro was already hard wire but since the N4 had USB-C connectors. I had to buy a whole new hard wire kit!!

What I like the most are 2K front cam - awesome video quality daytime and night time recording 1080P inside cam also HD quality day footage and IR recording at night but without GPS built in also No built in wifi or Cloud features I wish I can share directly from the phone to the Social media or friends generally very good dash cam.

This dash cam is one of the best purchases ever made with its image so crisp & clear and 3 cameras at that! AWESOME!!

I upgraded from a VanTrue T2 and a to this VanTrue N4. You immediately notice the difference in video and picture quality from 1080p to 1440p.All I can say is, damn. This is a damn good dashcam. This is the first 3-camera dashcam that I've seen so far. I haven't even gotten a chance to use the 3rd camera.Installation was super simple. I highly recommend getting the hardwire kit made specifically for this camera. It's super simple plug-and-play to the fuse box. You basically set it and forget it. No cigarette lighter adapters required.I absolutely love how this is dashcam has a capacitor instead of a battery. Every single dashcam that I've had with a battery has died. I've bought two with capacitors and that's the VanTrue T2 and This VanTrue N4. My T2 is still running and I'm sure this N4 will last a while too.If I had to pick a favorite thing of this camera, it would have to be parking mode. Since this is hardwired to the fuse box on constant power, the camera is always ready to go. It doesn't mean it's always running, it's always ready. Parking mode is basically standby mode. Once it senses movement, it will start recording from all cameras and then stop after some time. This is great because the camera isn't recording 24/7 and won't drain my battery. I've had this camera for a few weeks now and I have not drained my battery. The interior camera was a surprise because it's so wide, it actually captures what happens outside of the vehicle. I'll be able to see whoever dings my door now.I was surprised that each camera's video is its own separate file! I thought it was going to be overlayed one over the other, but they are their own separate file. That is GREAT.I don't know what more to say about the N4. It just works and it works great. Both camera's video quality are great and the night vision is pretty good as well. Audio is about as good as it can be.I can't think of any other dashcam would compare to this one. If you're on the fence, just get it. You won't regret it. Also, VanTrue customer service is top-notch. I once needed a replacement OBD II cable for my T2 since it failed, and they sent me one free of charge and arrived within a few days. You honestly can't beat that.

The picture quality works great. Unfortunately, the parking mode (my main reason for buying this) did not work properly. I had it hardwired and the unit went into standby after 5 minutes. It would not come back out of standby when I opened the car door, shut the door and started the car up. I also hip checked the vehicle and shook it from outside and that did not trigger it to come out of standby. It would periodically come on 2-3 minutes later, usually when I hit a bump. If I slammed my door extra hard, there was a 50/50 chance it would trigger the unit and come on. This is unacceptable. I went round and round with tech support. Their conclusion was that my vehicle was built well, so by me shaking/bumping the car, or casually closing the door, that was not enough. I'm not paying $200+ dollars for a unit that may or may not work properly. I also feared that if my vehicle was bumped by another car, I'm not sure it would cut on. I returned it and I am currently searching for an alternative.Also, for this price, wi-fi or bluetooth should be included.

This is an excellent little camera. Very easy to configure and use right out of the box. I feel so much safer when doing my deliveries!

I have no complaint about this dash cam, I also own the N2 Pro which is just as high quality as this one, the difference is that it doesn’t have the rear camera and usb-c. The resolution is top notch it is sharp and clear and you can see pretty much all the details from the recording. Package came with everything you need to start with your dashcam, the only thing I wish is that they should have a bundle choice for the gps mount and the power cable together so you don’t need to buy them separately. The connection is simple and straightforward, you plug in the car adapter cable to the cam and to the car, when your car turn on your cam will turn on. If you want it on always you will need to buy the other cable that way you can record when you are away from the car. I used Samsung evo 256gb micro sd card and works fine. If you need 3 channel camera this is the one to buy otherwise the N2 Pro will works fine, but I also like the bigger lcd screen on the N4 cam which makes it easier for me to see what’s going on. For future release such as the N6, maybe it will be 4K with 5 camera that come with two additional camera on the side somehow to record left and right in case there is a side impact. Maybe a 360 camera will do just that. I also wish the warranty should be 3 year standard, not that I doubt it will fail, but I believe it’s a high quality dash cam that backed with good warranty will beat out the rest of the competitors better. Overall this dashcam is highly recommended if you need a dashcam. You won’t regret it.

Dash cam is really good but after few days of using when i looked at the front lense i notice there is a dirt in the middle of the lense i thought its in the outside but its not..i put 4 out of 5 for the small defect. Im just waiting if vantrue will replace it i already emailed them.

I love these cameras, I have had an N2 in my truck for awhile now, but this new N4 for her car is great. I may upgrade my N2 down the road. This camera was really easy to install, and I tucked the wiring away quite well. Keep up the good work Vantrue, your products are awesome.
Stan
I got the Vantrue N2 Pro about 3 years ago. I use it for my Honda Accord. Ever since, I've been very happy with the Vantrue product. Recently I got a new car and I needed a 2nd dash cam. After reading many top recommendations, I went with the N4. After testing it for a couple days, all I can say is that i'm impressed. Clear video and audio. Definitely worth the money.
Branden
Camera does not look or feels cheap, It has a nice build and weight to it. The menus are easy to navigate and it is fairly straight forward to set up. I bought the ODB kit so I could use it in parking mode so that I always have peace of mind even if I am away from the car. I recently started doing rideshare and wanted to make sure I'm covered in case of an accident or false rider complaints. It has a inside cabin cam which is very clear. The rear facing camera not only catches the interior but also gets a good view. I'm surprised how clear the night vision is for the inside cabin at night. Vantrue has always been good with night vision in there cameras. Vantrue is a good brand and have great customer support.

I previously had the N2 Pro, but it let me down when the internal battery went bad. I was involved in an accident and the N2 Pro was knocked from the windshield and disconnected from power. The internal battery was shot, so it immediately lost power and did not finish writing footage to the card. So, the actual incident was lost.The N4, however, uses a capacitor, instead of a battery. So far, so good. The image quality is great on all three cameras. We'll see how it holds up to the heat as the summer goes on, but I'm really digging it so far.
Sajani shrestha
I demanded this camera for my sister as a birthday gift.. but the camera is not working after a month...the mount comes off all the time... even the camera turns on / off by itself while driving.. the back camera and interior camera goes off and comes back.. sometimes it says error... i would say it was not worth it... i thought it was better since is it expensive but i am going to ask for refund...
Christian A
Very good camera angle coverage, simple to setup and install. I've never installed a car camera before and it was very easy to hide the cables in the car compartments. It only tool 30 minutes for a complete install from start to finish. I now feel much more protected that if there is an accident I'll have the data and proof to protect myself (if it's not my fault...) I didn't like that the GPS support is a separate purchase. Even thought not expensive, it's just one more thing to buy. I recommend that it be included within the camera purchase even if the price is higher.
Dawalbait Boshara
Wide angle of view and clear high quality picture was my first concern and it blew my mind it was a little bit hectic to installation of the rear camera but overall it’s worth it.

Works great. Awesome three camera dash cam. This is my second purchase of this Vantrue N4 dash camera. First one works so well in my wife’s Lexus I had to get one for my Superduty. Video is crystal clear and GPS works great. I highly suggest getting the hard wire installation kit Vantrue offers. Makes permanent installation a breeze. Highly recommend if you are looking for a all around great dash camera system.

I had owned and used the Vanture N2 Pro model for 2.5 years and decided to upgrade to a newer model since I got rear ended on Feb 20th and this model comes with the rear camera! I have been using Vantrue N4 for almost 4 weeks and I would say this N4 rocks! By making the LCD screen bigger, it has become more fun and useful. Also, the ability of seeing all the three cameras on the same screen and at the same time is a huge plus, as well. The quality of the cameras are way way way better than any other dash cams that I have used so far. Especially the night vision. (Since the accident happened at night, I have been hesitant to drive during night time scaring that the same thing could happen anytime.) All I can say is; they have improved the night mode much better. The quality of sound recording is great too! I am a part-time Uber driver and in order to protect myself from people the video and the both sound and video quality of the dashcam is my first and foremost priority. Thanks to Vantrue that they have come up with N4. Really appreciated their product.

the best investment i have made the price is worth it

I bought vantrue n2pro it was the worst experience software problems reset by it self on and off constantly missing videos mount failed parking mode failed no wifi the new one N4 samething my friend did not listen to me finally bought the N4 3 channels and also no wifi have same problems as the n2pro. He call me today he want return it. There's a lot of dashcams offering more specs great quality less prices just shop around and before you buy read the reviews I'm sure you will find the one you like.
Somerhalder
Before I had the N2 and unfortunately that one's battery started to melt/exploded (not quite sure what happened). Either way, this is the perfect replacement since it runs on a capacitor and has a higher heat tolerance. I've had this for a few weeks now, and I can tell that the software is much improved. I'd buy from this company again just because of their excellent customer service and feedback they take from their customers!

What should have been a great camera turned out to be cheap and unreliable. Won't hold a charge. Won't power up on computer. Won't connect to computer. Won't hold date / time. Buy something else.

Installed in my 1500 chevy Express van. Rear Camera had plenty of length to reach the rear door window. I like having piece of mind from theft or damage to my vehicle. I know having this camera installed if an item is stolen out of my vehicle It will be easier to claim insurance and file a police report.

I recently purchased the Vantrue N4 because I wanted a dashcam that had additional rear and rear facing Cameras. My current dashcam is the vantrue T2. It has been a great camera and I haven’t had any issues with it in the 2+ years I’ve had it. Picture quality of the T2 is really good. Night video is good and it has a ton of cool features such as parking mode for surveillance.The N4 is a nice upgrade from the T2 and it has a 1440p front camera and 1080p rear and rear facing cameras. The video quality difference in the front 1440p camera is noticeable in both day and night. In the video you can see the sharper front facing camera of the N4. It also has a slightly warmer tone Compared to the T2. At night there is a slightly noticeable increase in image quality compared to the previous gen camera. This could be due to the 1.4 lens or the new Starvis sensor. It also has a noticeably larger 2.45” rear display which is also a lot sharper than the tiny T2 display. The only con that I noticed was the cord faces up instead of to the side. When installing the mount, you’ll need to leave some room for the cord. At least it’s usb-c. I’m not sure why they changed the cord position from the previous models.Overall I am impressed with the N4 and is worth every penny. Enjoy the video of some very nice cars!

There is setting for when the memory card is full that doesn't seem to work correctly.I wanted the recording to stop when the card was full and selected this setting,This worked the first time, with a warning on the display that the sd card was full. After that is failed and would overwrite the sd card even after the card was full, even though it was set to not overwrite.Perhaps will be fixed with a future firmware update?

This is one of the coolest dashcams I've purchased and the only one I've been able to find with THREE cameras. Obviously this is a major selling point because it provides nearly 360 degree coverage of your vehicle. The video quality from all three cameras is great. I previously owned the Vantrue N2 Pro, but had issues with the battery which required the device to be replaced. It's nice to see the upgraded features on the Vantrue N4. I have two small complaints about this device though and one pretty big issue (but there is a workaround).Small complaints:• The Vanture N4 lacks a dust cover for the ports and micro SD card slot on the device• The micro SD card slot seems deeper than other devices making it difficult to take the card out without a small paperclip or similar itemBig issue:• The Vantrue N4 uses newer MP4 encoding which is not completely supported by all devices in the standard video player (specifically Chromebooks). This was problematic for me when trying to review any of the videos, even using VLC media player which supports many file formats was unsuccessful. After much trial and error, I was able to find an Android application called "Osm Player" that enabled me to view all of the video footage BUT ONLY AT 1080p resolution. This is obviously not ideal because the higher resolution front facing camera is one of the big upgrades to this device. With that being said though, the 1080p resolution footage is certainly adequate and the benefit of having three cameras still makes the Vantrue N4 worth it for me.

Overall, the Vantrue N4 three-camera dashcam is a significant upgrade to the N2 Pro that I have used for two years. Bottomline, I would recommend the N4 on all counts if you want the addition of a rear camera. The added security is well worth the additional cost. It also gives you more options as you can pick which cameras you want to record. Installation and setup were easy with just minor issues that I was able to resolve myself. Running the wire to the rear camera under the headliner and avoiding side airbags is the trickiest part. During two week-long heat waves reaching 98 degrees, the N4 operated without any issues. Here are some highlights and details:CAMERAS: The N4 three cameras can record simultaneously as 1440P + 1080P + 1080P. Dual mode can record at a higher resolution of 2560x1440P front + 1920x1080P inside @ 30fps like the N2 Pro, but also with the option to record the rear instead of interior. This is the obvious benefit for non-rideshare use. I will use dual mode recording most of the time, but am uploading samples for the three-camera simultaneous mode since that is the breakthrough feature. The clarity of all cameras is great. I can say the 2560P front camera is clearer than the N2 Pro, but the difference won't show here in pics uploaded to an Vantrue review. Initially, exposure on the front and rear cameras was slightly darker than I prefer, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the default settings at the midpoint with a wide range for adjustment. The front camera is sharp enough at 1440P to see a wide field of view with minimal distortion. License plate numbers are easily readable at 25 feet, and much farther when set to 2560P. The rear camera is tiny with an ultra-wide lens and significant pin-cushioning that captures 160 degrees. One significant improvement over the N2 Pro is that the inside camera covers a wider field and its infrared imaging at night is much crisper. The microphone also picks up clear conversations at almost any volume, if that is important for you.Formatting & Memory: The N4 accepts up to a 256GB micro SD card. I am using a 128GB Samsung EVO SDXC due to its robustness in heat. One issue when installing into the N4 was it was not readable after formatting in the dashcam. However, I took it out and formatted it twice with a Mac Pro and card reader before it was readable by the N4. It has worked fine ever since. Note that files will automatically be saved to the card from each camera you designate in 3-minute increments and appear chronologically with suffix A, B or C. When the card is full, it will start writing over the oldest files, so be sure to download any events you wish to save, especially if using a smaller capacity memory card.Installation: The N4 body is about 15% larger than the N2 Pro. The larger body accommodates a bigger LED screen that makes settings and viewing much easier than the N2 Pro. Due to a big console for my rear view mirror and sensors on the windshield, I had to mount the N4 on the passenger side instead of the driver’s side like my N2 Pro. The reason was partly the larger size of the camera, but mostly because the suction cup mount caused the N4 to hang lower than I would like. The wire connector also points up rather than to the side like the N2 Pro, so that lowered the mount another 1/2”. Ideally, I would like a smaller fixed adhesive mount with side wire connector instead of the suction cup mount. If you don’t have a big electronic console at the top of your windshield, you will be fine as is.Parking Mode: I do not use the parking mode because my Volvo XC60 has a tendency to drain the battery when any electronics are left on. But I did test the G-Shock function and found it highly responsive. A great feature if you park in a shared garage or parking lots, and can manage your car's battery power properly.

This is my 2nd review for Vantrue products. I have previously owned their other two models the Vantrue N2 and the Vantrue N2 Pro. This latest model was a huge improvement in that it now has the capability to record the rear of the vehicle. Simply put, you have the front, inside cabin and the rear recording. All 3 images are crystal clear & able to be viewed on the dash cam itself simultaneously. Even when in night mode is activated for the inside of the vehicle, you can make out detailed features of the person(s) inside.After a week when I examined the contents of the SD card for all the footage it was easy to find the date and which camera I desired.I have had it for a couple weeks and have only had the suction cup release once from the windshield after a very hot day. The unit itself does get very warm to touch, but Vantrue assured me that this is normal due to "it containing a bigger working current" than their previous cameras.The video over attached here is a snippet of the rear view camera. As you can see, the license plate is easily viable in the case of a rear end hit & run accident.A few reviewers have complained that it does not have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capability to stream to your phone in real time. I would agree this is the only downfall. But at the rate Vantrue is going that would be their next and final step to make this dash camera absolutely perfect.I also own the latest social media advertised dash cam Nexa*. Vantrue N4 is by far better quality & can record the rear traffic. Despite not having the real-time viewing, it is top notch & worth the extra money. When they come out with their next camera I will be eagerly waiting to test it as well. It simply keeps getting better.
LANDO
The only thing i do like about the n4 is that there is no WiFi. It would make it so easy to download videos to your phone or computer than you having to take the whole dash cam inside to download videos.

When I decided to get a dashcam I was leaning towards the high end like blackvue etc. The cost though was prohibitive. I did much research and decided the N4 Vantrue would fill my needs. I highly recommend getting the hardwire kit. It's an easy install and makes everything much more professional. No wires hanging or in the way. Many videos out there on how to install these kinds of dashcams. I recommend the video at the dashcam store for installing the blackvue dashcam with power magic pro. It has lots of good ideas and tips. Installation was mostly easy with a little bit of difficulty wiring the rear camera on my wife's CRV. I wanted it perfect and professional and took about an extra hour. My tundra was really easy. I installed the rear camera on a metal mounting bracket from the dashcam store that fits in the headliner. I couldn't mount it on the rear window as it's retractable. Other than the hardwire kit problem which was on my end. Look at my review of it to see what happened and it actually could help you. Video quality is great. I'm old so looking at the screen on the camera is not productive for me. Build quality seems top notch. Time will tell. Overall very happy with this system. Great quality at a moderate price.

I purchased the Vantrue N4 last week and installed it the night it arrived. I own a Chevy Suburban and tucking the rear camera wire from the back to the front was not too difficult, but was the most labor intensive aspect of the install. The picture quality of all the cameras is phenomenal and system setup is fairly intuitive. I currently have it powered by the USB power cord supplied, but just ordered the hardwire kit, mostly to be able to hide the cords in the headliner. Very pleased with the decision to purchase this system; just a minimal investment that may capture a crucial moment for video/audio evidence.

Even when in night mode is activated for the inside of the vehicle, you can make out detailed features of the person(s) inside.After a week when I examined the contents of the SD card for all the footage it was easy to find the date and which camera I desired.I have had it for a couple weeks and have only had the suction cup release once from the windshield after a very hot day. The unit itself does get very warm to touch, but Vantrue assured me that this is normal due to "it containing a bigger working current" than their previous cameras.The video over attached here is a snippet of the rear view camera. As you can see, the license plate is easily viable in the case of a rear end hit & run accident.A few reviewers have complained that it does not have Wi-Fi/Bluetooth capability to stream to your phone in real time. I would agree this is the only downfall. But at the rate Vantrue is going that would be their next and final step to make this dash camera absolutely perfect.I also own the latest social media advertised dash cam Nexa*. Vantrue N4 is by far better quality & can record the rear traffic. Despite not having the real-time viewing, it is top notch & worth the extra money. When they come out with their next camera I will be eagerly waiting to test it as well. It simply keeps getting better.

The only thing i do like about the n4 is that there is no WiFi. It would make it so easy to download videos to your phone or computer than you having to take the whole dash cam inside to download videos.

When I decided to get a dashcam I was leaning towards the high end like blackvue etc. The cost though was prohibitive. I did much research and decided the N4 Vantrue would fill my needs. I highly recommend getting the hardwire kit. It's an easy install and makes everything much more professional. No wires hanging or in the way. Many videos out there on how to install these kinds of dashcams. I recommend the video at the dashcam store for installing the blackvue dashcam with power magic pro. It has lots of good ideas and tips. Installation was mostly easy with a little bit of difficulty wiring the rear camera on my wife's CRV. I wanted it perfect and professional and took about an extra hour. My tundra was really easy. I installed the rear camera on a metal mounting bracket from the dashcam store that fits in the headliner. I couldn't mount it on the rear window as it's retractable. Other than the hardwire kit problem which was on my end. Look at my review of it to see what happened and it actually could help you. Video quality is great. I'm old so looking at the screen on the camera is not productive for me. Build quality seems top notch. Time will tell. Overall very happy with this system. Great quality at a moderate price.

This is my 2nd review for Vantrue products. I have previously owned their other two models the Vantrue N2 and the Vantrue N2 Pro. This latest model was a huge improvement in that it now has the capability to record the rear of the vehicle. Simply put, you have the front, inside cabin and the rear recording. All 3 images are crystal clear & able to be viewed on the dash cam itself simultaneously.

I purchased the Vantrue N4 last week and installed it the night it arrived. I own a Chevy Suburban and tucking the rear camera wire from the back to the front was not too difficult, but was the most labor intensive aspect of the install. The picture quality of all the cameras is phenomenal and system setup is fairly intuitive. I currently have it powered by the USB power cord supplied, but just ordered the hardwire kit, mostly to be able to hide the cords in the headliner. Very pleased with the decision to purchase this system; just a minimal investment that may capture a crucial moment for video/audio evidence.

The camera gives very good picture quality in both light and dim setting with natural color. It is easy to set up and install, both the front and rear camera. There is ample wiring included and instructions and menu settings are easy to understand. Downloading to the computer is simple and having the screen on the camera itself is a plus. Of course, the 3 channel view is very nice especially if you need a view of the cabin (which can be turned off). I am giving only 3 stars though because of 2 incredibly annoying flaws- First, the suction cup does not stick to the windshield if it is warm out. Despite cleaning both surfaces thoroughly, after 30 minutes the camera falls off the windshield in hot weather. Consistently , 100% of the time. I had to tape it on using aluminum tape (see picture) which does the trick and stays on in hot weather but looks terrible from the outside. Second- the plastic nut which screws on the stem to fixate the camera does not hold the camera tightly enough. So there is too much give in the sway of the camera and if you go over a bump or do some really hard cornering, the camera will actually tilt slightly and needs to be repositioned. Maybe not huge defects, but very annoying because there is no good fix for either. Hopefully Vantrue will improve upon this.Update: Contacted Vantrue re this issue of failure to stick to the windshield. Their reply was prompt and courteous, but not very helpful. Offered to send me another "GPS mount". Strange, I didn't order a GPS mount. Furthermore, they said it would take up to 2 months because everything from China is being delayed. (1month beyond the return window, BTW). Also interesting because it only took about a week to get the original dash cam. Oh well, lesson learned. Corners have to be cut somewhere, and I guess you get what you pay for. Next time I'll go with Thinkware .Update to the update: I finally got the sticky mount, so I will upgrade back to 3 stars. Unfortunately it is no better than the original. In hot weather the dash cam promptly falls off the windshield. So my last ditch solution is to superglue the dash cam to the windshield. O well

This is the best dash cam I have had. I know that sounds like I am being paid to say that but this dash cam truly is the best one I've owned. The video quality on this is very nice done and 3 channel the daytime and night time video It is crystal clear.Good customer service!

Exactly as description and worked perfectly. Great product. Great sale.

Brought this Dashcam as previous Dashcam was really poor during nighttime hours and as I'm an Uber driver I needed a better quality dual camera.The Vantrue N4 lives up to the reviews and provides everything I need. The Audio is good, the set up itself is easy and the quality of video is excellent from the Front, Rear and internal camera. Both during the day and also nightime hours.If you are looking for a high quality Dashcam, then I would def recommend.Andy Stoke on Trent England

I initially bought this dash cam due to dual camera option. However, once I received the item I had nothing but troubles with the device. The suction cup would not stay mounted to the window. My husband would be driving and it would just fall off. It would not manually record (even after pushing the button to record.) I wish that I could give a lower star rating. There are options with other dash cams to view the footage with an app on your phone. This dash cam does not have that as an option. Almost everyone has a cell phone this is something that the makers should work on for the future. I am disappointed that I spent this much money and it not be the best product on the market.

Nice, smart and useful. It was the first dash cam with 3 camera... front, rear and inside of the car...
Allen Resha
The camera quality is great, day and night. The dash cam is easy to install and utilize. The PROBLEM is that the screen burned out in less than a week. The outside temp was only 77 degrees F, so I know the manufacturer max temp was not reached. It is too bad that the camera became defective because I really liked it. I will not be purchasing a camera from this company again.
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.
