It meets my expectations and would recommend buying. I would also suggest buying the permanent power adapter.

I bought this Dash Cam because I work as a contractor and some locations we go to are not the best, also I needed one for Insurance. I bought along side this Dash Cam the hardwire kit for its Parking Mode. (NOTE: the Hardwire kit is a MUST for this feature)Wiring this up was a bit of a pain because my truck has only one fuse box that is located under the hood near its front, however there was just enough cable to take the path I wanted to to hide the cable as best as possible. Finding the right fuse was the biggest pain, you must find a fuse that has a constant current running through it (NOTE: some fuses are timed when you open the door, like the interior lights, DONT use these). Once I found the fuse I needed the 90 degree insert was the next hurdle to overcome as it wouldn't set correctly. Once again though I finally was able to insert it and confirm there was power running through it.After about an hour of running the cable and setting everything up, I was good to go.The Picture quality is absolutely TOP NOTCH for the front and the Cab camera is just as good.My setup is 1440p Front and 720p Cab.Only thing I don't really like about it is the mic is kind of garbage barely picks up the radio and I understand that the Mic is a bonus and I can let that slide.The micro-SD I bought with this is the 256GB and that card is good for about 2 days worth at the settings I have.There are other Dash Cams but I bought this one because it wasn't the cheapest but at the same time it wasn't going to break my bank. This Dash Cam is a happy and lovely medium between them.I HIGHLY recommend this Dash Cam and HIGHLY encourage getting the Hardwire Kit. You don't need to be a professional to install it and if your not truly handy ask your neighbor or friend who is, you wont regret buying this one.

We've had this dash cam in two different Jeeps the last year. I've found it to be great quality product that's easy to use. The 4K video is exceptional! It just confirmed that I was NOT at fault in an accident. Everyone one who sees the video is amazed at the quality.

I can’t hold the camera I put the camara every 10 min because it falls always ;(
Jason Thomas
The picture quality is good as advertised, it all is. But why no wifi? If someone robs my car an decides to take my camera and keep it then I am SOL. No witness or perp. Wifi is nice to have so you can get real time updates to your phone or cloud.

Great Dashcam. Good resolution, sound and nice compact size. Not just for rideshare drivers. Captures wide field of view along with optionally inside cabin which catches some of the side and back view. Really like it.
Shrinivas Yadav
I like the camera, it is all good except the suction cup. If there is sun light the suction breaks and camera falls down. This is big issue and frustrating.Edit: After contacting with seller, seller has sent me new Suction cup, I am not seeing this issue with the new Suction cup. Updated my rating

I drive for a living and wanted to make sure I had myself covered in case of some crazy happens. I bought this paying more than I wanted and didn't have great expectations. We'll I couldn't be happier. It's small distinct shape makes it low profile. It is easy to use . And the video is great perfectly clear with recorded speed by GPS . The inside and out is great for rideshare as because it records great audio inside to. It also so has a incident mode that will save recording if brakes are hit hard ect... I have a subwoofer and I noticed all the videos in the incidented folder lol. The loud music vibrating truck it marked it as incident and saved the video . It is a great camera. Even for everyday drivingI like it alot, I even forget it's there.

I've tried a few and this has fit the need. A bit expensive, but I suppose you get what you pay for on this technology.
gary osborne
Nice little unit. It is small enough to remain out of the way but takes great video through the windshield and side window (cop watching) or the inside of car. Not great for seeing what is behind the car in much detail but it will catch enough to be witness to a rear end crash or oncoming police lights.
Bavarian Woodworker LLC
Suction cup broke after just a couple month and no replacement what makes the GPS and Camera unusable.
Bob Simmons
Great product just didn’t know that a SIM card did not come with it, I must have missed that part in the advertisement.
Eugene Choi
PROS:-Packaging: Great first impression with the presentation. The unboxing was satisfying. The company definitely knows how to please OCD, image-conscious people like me.-Aesthetic appeal: The cam looks great. It has a contemporary look & doesn't look goofy or cheap like most of it's competitors.-Resolution: 4K for front only and 1440p for dual at 30fps which is the highest I've seen for a dashcam, especially a dual dashcam.-Quickstart: Straightforward, simple & easy. Only took me a few mins to set everything up.-Size: Smaller & lighter than I expected which is good because it's not as obstructive and less likely to fall off my windshield.-Durability & Security: Great. Suction cup mount is strong. Cam does not shake or rattle at all while driving.-Customer Support: I've reached out to the company via email for some inquiries & they responded within 12 hours each time which was nice.-Storage: 256GB max which is about as high as I've seen in the dashcam industry.CONS:-Price: 220 USD is not cheap but easily justifiable for my experience with the cam thus far.-No App: Which I don't mind since I only need to extract footage if there was an incident.
Dave Greig
Works well. Only concern/complaint is that I find it very difficult to detach the camera from the base. So often I end up taking the whole thing off of the window.
Roadking2001
After extensive research I decided on this unit and I couldn’t be happier. Installed easily, crystal clear video and audio inside cabin and out. Wide angle gets side windows and rear window shows approaching vehicles from the rear. Great in low light conditions. Easy to set up with intuitive menus. GPS shows speed along with time, date, location. BE ADVISED: it does NOT come with an SD Card so buy one when you buy the unit.

Did not work out of the box. Even support was good, but did not work.

Purchased 4 months ago, works perfect so far, also purchased hard wire kit which makes using all the better with no wires hanging down in view. I'm very satisfied with unit to this point with no complaints

Someone broke my rear glass (big one), took my scooter from there but parking mode or it didin't work motion or collision detection. Do not buy this with this expectation.

Awesome works good but doesn't come with SD card!! Like this camera will be getting another 2 my family.
sekar basne
I purchased this to use as a security cam for my car but this camera is not trustworthy because you may lose your important video data anytime. The memory card fails anytime when using it and there will not be any videos saved once it fails and ask user to format sd card.

Does what it needs to butI would have like more space option256 go upgrade to a 512gb would be nice

This dashcam is really good in my opinion. Most stuff is covered in other reviews so I'm not going to repeat it here. One thing not well covered is the parking mode. If you want the dashcam to detect someone bumping your car in the parking lot you must enable parking mode and have some sort of always on power going to the camera. This means you must either hardwire it to the car or use a battery pack.For people worried about the battery running down:The hardwire kits from Vantrue have cutoff switches which trigger at 11.x volts. This should still enable most cars to start but not in all cases. It depends. What is more important is that you set up the parking mode properly! To make it far less likely that you will ever need a jump set the parking mode to "collision" and "medium". Otherwise if you use "high" or the motion detection it could make it so the parking mode is constantly getting triggered and running down your battery! I suspect 90% of the people complaining have this problem. By default for Collision detection it seems to use "High" sensitivity. In my experience this was too sensitive and set it off all the time in parking lots. So make sure to adjust this setting and you likely will not have this problem.Update 7/22/2021I'm in Florida and I notice if I leave it out it gets way too hot and shuts down for a bit. Because of this I'm not always sure if it is recording. I also wonder how long it is going to last like this. Normally I would just remove it each day when done but the parking mode is much of the reason for my buying this. Also the mount is a little difficult to remove just the camera portion. I'm docking this one star for this. It really should have been made a little bulkier and perhaps with a bigger heat sink and protective cover to protect against direct sunlight more. Note after weeks in the Florida July summer sun the camera is still technically working overall - it's just that it shuts down when hot.Update 2/3/2022Camera is still going great! With the aforementioned overheating issue I noticed that it only has a problem in the heat when first driving on a hot day when it has been sitting in the sun all day. If I turn on the AC it will automatically start recording again within a minute or two so it is not really a big deal. As such due to this and that it still works great I am going to restore a star and make the review 5 stars again. I do still think that some sort of extra heat sink on this would have been good though.

I honesly like Vantrue. I had the N2 Pro for almost 2 years but lost the date and time. Warranty didn't cover it so I tried this upgrade. It has multiple code errors that popped up that I was not able to work out with Customer Service. I was not able to get video view either on playback. Customer Service was helpful but they are not available via voice. Only thru social media mechanism or email. Another negative is the mount. The buttons are on the top of the camera, unlike the Pro, and once you mount the camera it is very hard to remove from the mount. Eventhough, this one unit was a lemon, I am choosing to buy another N2Pro simply because I like to review my playback on my laptop. Old school but hey. It works for me. :)

I have purchased 20 of these for my fleet. Out of those 20, 8 have had the suction cups break within 4 months . I have been in contact with the customer service department for over 6 months now and keep getting the run around. No resolution here.

I love the wider screen and the picture and video quality. I live in an extremely hot region of the States and it's ultra capacitor is PERFECT so far
Morris
Absolutely great! Easy to install too! I have a 2021 Toyota 4Runner and the back camera does a good job if you have rear view camera aimed towards the middle of the back seats. Clear video day and night.
Vantrue Customer
One of the best products I ever ordered and buy in my entire life. This is my first dash cam and as I believe I will never regretted. Really Happy with my purchase.
COMFORTABLY NUMB
its a nice camera. seems to be a necessary evil in this day of people paying more attention to there cell phones than driving as per usual, made in the ccp
rodolfo
Overheats in the 80° weather (the range supposed to go up to 120 or even above I can’t remember). Freezes all the time. Its only been 2 months so it’s pretty clear it’s a damaged product. I have tried multiple times to reach out to the manufacturer - SILENCE. Too expensive, trash customer service and horrible quality. I want my money back.
Vantrue Customer
Very good cam .. it worth every dollar I spent on it
flimones
Picture quality is really good, the 4k is split between front and rear facing camera, but still good, the video in the rear facing camera captures more than you think, including both door windows and rear window with great clarity, the front facing camera is awesome. The auto note mode is very sensitive even by going under a bridge will trigger it, GPS and measured speed is spot on.CONS: Have to remove the SD card to view the videos, no wifi direct, that would have been nice to load to you mobile device. Power cord is a bit clumsy and can get in the way, had to buy some taped cable separators to help. But all in all a great device.

Ok, so this has been a disaster. I wanted this camera because it had all the bells and whistles and was supposedly top of the line, but I have had nothing but problems. I have bought three of these in a row and all three didn't work in various ways. Here is the history:1.) First unit I ordered was DEAD. It never turned on. Unit was wrapped in plastic but the little 'Vantrue' sticker was broken as if it was already opened. So I sent it back and ordered another one. If I could give 0 stars I would.2.) Second one I ordered was wrapped, but again, the Vantrue seal was broken as if it was opened previously. So this one 'kind of' worked, but it had a problem with 'Parking Mode' When you set parking mode, it would just go into parking mode even when you are driving. I had to call Vantrue support and they confirmed that it wasn't supposed to work like that. Parking mode should only turn on when you park, not when you are driving. So right in the middle of my drive it kept turning off and going into parking mode. Support thought that it had a bad g sensor. So now I had to send this one back and order a thrid one.3.) Ordered the third one, didn't get to use it, because it wouldn't read an SD card! I used a brand new card (worked in the other two cameras) and tried several other SD cards that I had, and didn't work. And yes of course I tried formatting the cards in the camera, but I got a message that said 'format failed'. Again, this camera had the Vantrue sticker broken as if it was already opened.So that's three cameras with three different issues, where all the cameras appeared to be previous returns that Vantrue repackaged and sold to me apparently. I went all in by buying a hardwire kit ($15) and having Best Buy install it ($50) only to NOT have a camera. Also, it's been over a week since I returned the camera, and I still don't have my refund.I am really starting to think that Vantrue is cheap junk, and that Vantrue is dishonest for sending me what I believe are previously returned units. Lousy experience all around. Very Unhappy.

I CANNOT TOLERATE THE WEAK SUCTIONING.. I HATE IT when it unexpectedly fall off. I had to tie it over my rear view mirror: otherwise so far so good
MarsNerdy
Defective product, no customer servicesOriginally I left a good review but then shortly after that I started having troubles with my dashcam so I contacted customer service before I wrote this review, it's been more than a week and I still haven't gotten a response back from them.

I ordered this dash cam after a fair amount of research . . . looking for an easy to install unit, reliable, with a resolution and good audio AND with a suction cup, not a glued mount. This unit qualified, was cheaper than the other favorites and was a recommended unit in a number of professional reviews.So far, So Good!1) Installation was nearly fool-proof. Looked over the Quick Start Guide and the User Manual the night before and watched an installation video. Installation from taking it from the box, placement on the windshield, working through the settings and formatting the 256mg SD card took 6-7 minutes. Video started once plugged in . . .2) Tested it for over two hours today on a short trip around the area. Once home I found the microphone worked fine and that the video was broken into 3 minute chunks. Fine for a test; I will see if I can adjust that or plan on 3 minute bites of video.

The night vision is very clear and it's a good quality picture
Annie
I am a professional truck driver and I spent a great deal of time looking at the dashcams on the market. The clarity of the picture that comes through on the Vantrue is far superior to the other cameras. The N2S has the GPS built in which is awesome! The benefits of this camera far outweigh the drawbacks which, in my opinion, are limited to not being linked with an app and requiring a power source to operate. I value the picture and the detail in the day and night versions more than a slight inconvenience. If I need law enforcement to view the video I don't want any question as to what they are viewing. Vantrue has put out a great product at a reasonable price and it is definitely worth the money. Don't go cheap on your dashcam! Invest in your safety and spend a few extra bucks to get the better camera.
Brian Murray
Camera was easy to set up but the window/dash mount for the camera started to come unglued in the heat just a week after using it. Will end up trying super glue.
Danny
It's a decent little camera. The interior image quality is fantastic, exterior is a little iffy. Can't easily see plates farther than one car length. The audio on my camera doesn't seem to work either which is a little frustrating. I like it, I'd probably buy another one if I had to. Price is nice and the features make it worth while. Just wish the exterior camera was a little clearer.
vannca
Suction needs to be improved.

The suction cup lasted two weeks. Definitely buying the adhesive GPS for $21 is a must. The cam itself is top notch and I don’t mind using the SD card in lieu of cloud. The videos both front and cab are high quality and worth the price.
Nazmul
I bought this dash cam to replace an older Vantrue dash cam and I’m very happy with my purchase. This dash cam came with gps enabled. The previous camera the gps unit was a separate purchase. It does not come with a memory card (I knew this) so I bought a 64 gig card and it works perfect. I also bought the hardwire kit so I could fully utilize the parking mode. The main upgrade I noticed was the dash cam’s resolution was much better than my old cam. The video quality is very clear. I’m glad I upgraded and am seriously thinking about getting another one for my wife’s car.
Hertz
Great dash camera, does the job perfectly well.Only thing to make it perfect would be to add Bluetooth to upload to a phone app.But if you don’t mind that issue, the unit works with no problems and a very sharp video.

Clumsy old tech attempt. Very difficult to set when mounted. Very poor customer service. I returned it post haste. The mount was well done the only thing to like about this cheap setup.
Jerome Clemente
I've been using the Vantrue N2s for 4 months now and I must say it is pretty awesome. Opening the package was like opening an "Apple" product- the presentation and quality of the unit is top notch! The images reproduced by the Sony Starvis Sensor is amazing during day time and pretty good at night time (low light) as well. Dash cams are still a long ways off when it comes to (perfect) low light video reproduction. I am using the 2K front and 2K cabin record settings with a 256 GB Samsung Evo Select Micro SD card (holds about 2-3 weeks of recording with the 3 min intervals) .The new Sony Starvis sensor with 2K resolution and built in GPS are the upgraded features/parts from the Vantrue N2 Pro. The unit is equipped with super capacitor battery so end users in very high and low temps do not have to worry about the battery exploding. My M3 has constant power through the cigarette light port when the car is off --> so the N2S parking mode is enabled when there is no movement after 5 minutes. I must say it works very well; records events whenever an individual, cats or another object gets too close or someone physically bumps my car.One feature missing is the built in wifi - a must have feature now a days so you can review your footage after an accident or see any unusual/fun events on your smart phone instead of having to download the footage to your computer. I was hoping this feature would be a standard feature for Vantrue dash cams at least on their high end models. Another feature or option I would like to see offered is a cell module - so end users can receive cloud notifications for events during parking mode. Overall a high quality dash cam for the price and I would highly recommend the N2S or the Vantrue N4 for complete 3 channel protection!

WHY IS THE TIME CLOCK RUNING LATE?After seting up the time clock and more than 10 hrs of use the clock its about 4 seconds behind(it was 1 second ahead at the time of the setup)
Shaun M Mcbride
I purchased this camera for my semi and I love it easy to use,easy setup. Very fast shipping and I lreally like the suction of the mount,, great grip and stabilityof the video I'm looking to purchase 2 more
Bondebond
After reading lots of reviews for different dashcams, I decided to go with this one and I've not been disappointed. Now that I've mastered the interface, it's quite easy to make changes as needed. I do struggle a little to swap out the MicroSD card but that's mostly because of the location I've chosen to place the camera.I like that this version comes with GPS included and the mount seems to be very strong. I also got the hardwire kit to a full time power source and that is working out well. My teenage kids love to try to leave me visual messages either while we're driving or at other times. Kids...
Bill Verzal
Very impressive. Definitely the right choice for me. The pictures were taken just prior to midnight. One shows the picture from the screen and one snows the screen and through the windshield. The nighttime performance of this camera is amazing. The setup was simple. Placement was easy. Adhesion is good. I spent hours looking at dash cameras and chose this one. I am not disappointed.Update 3/9: I attempted to follow their firmware update procedure and it bricked my camera.Update 3/12: I still say the camera is good but if you buy it, I hope you never have to use their support team. My camera is still bricked and their support program is terrible. One email every 24-hours, even if you respond to their email within 5 minutes of receiving it. They refuse to accept that the camera is bricked. Edit: I filed for a replacement through Vantrue and received it a while ago. I’m happy now

I like the picture quality it's very clear, also the .night vision as well, I bought the hard wire kit and was easy to install

Great small form factor and Dual Cam AIO.handles large memory cards without issue. not one single crash so far. gently blinking red led that is NOT distracting even at night so you can verify camera is functioning. Standard USB C on both the unit and the Mount with the GPS built into the mount. This means you can pop the cam off the mount without messing with your mount or power! very nice. and because the unit has a C port you can power it directly for playback and it even has a micro (I assume) HDMI out to pipe the video to a screen.nice long cable with an old school verizon style 12v plug with second built in USB port pass through.Great video quality within the limitations of wide angle video of course. nice clean night time video and does a good job in high contrast situations (see snow wet video clip)truly a good unit! its too bad they are so pricey I would put them in all my cars! this is my "go bag" dash cam. ie I keep it in a case to take with me. if a cam fails I whip it out if I drive a friends car I install it if I get a rental car I install it. I don't like driving without a dash cam for self protection.Being aio but still dual cam is really nice and the super cap means its ok to store it away without use for a long time and also won't melt down in hot climates like where I live new mexico.Just all around a fantastic unit for which I have no complaints. I wonder IS a remote available for this? I notice a little spot on the bottom that says IR. gonna have to look into that!
Nicholas Harvey
Easy to set up and use. Image quality is outstanding. Once I realized how the suction cup gets mounted (it is a twist-to-tighten design), it was very easy to install and remove as needed. I like that it has a USB-C connector. lots of options for configuration, though the menus and buttons on top could be a little more intuitive but once you have used them a couple times, it's no problem. I also wish there wasn't a bright blue light on the charger but a bit of electrical tape, or rotating it if possible, resolves that. The design is sturdy and seems like it will hold up.
Sharon Trobaugh
Excellent dash cam. Easy to set up and easy to hard wire. Highly recommend for any gig worker.
Reviewology
This is a great dashcam camera. It's not big and bulky. It's small and attaches to your windshield and has the option to record video. It comes in handy anytime someone hits your car while parked or in any accident. The night vision is pretty awesome and it records all night long for you which the picture quality is high def. it’s so simple to install and doesn’t take a mechanic.
Vantrue Customer
This dash cam is an upgrade to the Vantrue N2 PRO. It has all the same great features as the N2 PRO except now you have 4k quality (front camera only) or dual 1440 P filming. You also get a GPS mount included which is really nice and a built-in super capacitor that allows the dash cam to withstand extreme hot and cold temperatures. The mount seems to be built slightly different and feels slightly stronger. The suction cup also works super good and hasn't fallen off. After testing it for a few days, I was really impressed by the quality of the dual 2K footage and the infrared night vision worked very well in a pitch-black area. I believe the price is worth the quality.
Nicolas Athapattiou
This is an excellent dashcam that includes all the functions such as motion detection and parking protection. Overall a great product that everyone should have for overall protection. Brilliant video clarity as well. Excellent seller.
Tony
This dashcam works with the OBD to USB C connector which can be purchased separately. Or else you can get the hardwire kit to splice it into your fuse box. With either of these, it is possible to use parking mode. I highly suggest this setup as you can practically hide all the wires.The parking mode is pretty much this: The camera will turn on automatically to capture a few seconds of video when your car is off. This can be triggered by a collision detection, motion sensor, or a combination of both. I found that sometimes the rain on the windshield will trigger the motion sensor. I set it to only collision detection. The act of opening my car door was enough to trigger this, which I think is a good thing in case someone breaks into your car and decides to not take the dashcam.The G Sensor could be a little sensitive. Set to the lowest sensitivity (1 out of 5), a very small bump in the road will still trigger it. On a 15 minute drive to the store, it triggered once. However, I took a longer drive later on and it did not trigger at all, so I'm not sure how it works.The nightvision for the cabin camera is great. It shifts seamlessly, and everything is pretty clear and detailed, although it is in black and white. If someone broke into your car, you would definitely be able to see their face.I have the front camera at 1440p and the cabin camera at 1080p 30fps. You can configure them to be anywhere from 1440 to 720p. If you only configure to use the front camera, you can also have it set to 4K. The front and cabin videos are saved as 2 separate videos, and not PiP view. 15 minutes worth of driving in addition to a whole night worth of parking mode videos (I live on a busy street) took up 20GB on the card. I'm not sure if this matters much, as the data rewrites over itself.This comes with a GPS mount, which will send GPS details (speed, location) over to the main unit. In the software you can choose to disable this if you want. You can also choose to power the unit by directly plugging the USB C cable into either the dashcam itself, or just the mount.Attached is a video from the front facing camera. I would also attach the video from the cabin camera, but Vantrue only lets me upload 1 video per review. Instead, I took a screenshot. Also attached are pictures of how the cable could be routed cleanly to eliminate the clutter, and what the camera looks like from the outside. Overall, I think this is a great product, especially for the price.Some things I would like to see in the future:- Motion Sensor that is not affected by rain- Better tuning for the G Sensor- Better swivel flexibility for the GPS mount. It's definitely sufficient to capture the front of the car. However, if a LEO pulls you over, I would love to be able to turn the dashcam to face the side window. Unfortunately the mount can't do that.

Had been using a fairly bulky dash cam on my ride for the past year and decided it was finally time to upgrade after nearly getting in multiple accidents and the license plate of the other car nearly being unreadable. Granted it was like 720p on the last one in the dark so finally decided to upgrade to a higher quality build.Upon doing research I found that this one had just barely been released so I decided to go with the bright new shiny camera as it being new has to be the best of best ofcourse hahaBeen running it for a few days and already much happier with the quality, ability to watch the clips on the camera itself, and no annoying sound effects apart from the general button pushing which i was pleased to find out i can lower.The amount of features on this bad boy are impressive, next thing I need to do is hardwire this in to make the wire completely gone but wow what an improvement!

Hi ive been using this dash cam for the past 1 week all i can say is its worth it! The recording is really clear and the voice too.. its easy to install user friendly. The texture of the product is really solid compare to other dash cam. Why i purchased this? Its because i do grocery delivery at least if something went wrong i have proof. I wish i can post the same video but ill just update it when i figure it out how to download it.
sadrid
This was my first time purchasing a dash camera. It was easy to set up and and use. The video quality for the forward facing camera and rear the rear facing camera is amazing. i would recommend this dash cam to anyone who is looking for a dash camera and peace of mind while driving on the road.
Bash
First thing I noticed after opening the box was how well organized the box was (in picture). The user manual on top; and three smaller boxes, one for camera, another for the cables and last one for the mount.The manual is clear on how to attach the mount on the camera, so look at them before you break the lock on mount.I used Samsung EVO 3 memory card and it asked me to format it first, and was able to record both front and back stream on the card. I usually turn off the back camera and use the front camera with 2160p resolution which come out pretty goodI really didn’t like the complex locking mechanism on the mount, I believe it should be easy to do it without looking at the manual. And for this price I was expecting a free hardwire kit too ;)
Dallas
So a few things I do not like about this dash cam.First off- I REALLY wanted to like this cam.Granted- i've only had it for a few hours- and this is my first dash cam. So take this review with that in mind.The car that I have is a 2012 Acura TSX. Having that said. There is no really inconspicuous place to mount this thing that doesn't distract me or inhibit my field of view. This is mostly due to the mount. The should offer a low profile mount of sorts that would allow me to mount it at the very top of my windshield. (pictures will follow)Second gripe. There is a little red light that blinks on it- I understand this is to show that it's recording, but there is no way to turn this off! During the day it's not an issue...But at night. It's ridiculous. My eyes kept being drawn to the the blink. Very distracting.Like I said- I wanted to like this cam. I was like a kid on Christmas when I got it. Maybe my expectations were too high? Who knows...but I do know that this thing isn't worth paying $200+ for.
Ryan K.
For anyone considering to buy this camera, avoid at all costs. Most comments you see are just people lured by marketing to receive a free camera. I was one and I regret participating. Especially when I was disillusioned in thinking that this was a great product, purchased/installed it onto 2 other vehicles, and now face 3 recent incidents (2 side swept, 1 collision) where none were recorded.From a quick glance, this camera is great. Video quality is clear, audio is decent, and installation was fairly simple, but that is all you know when you only have a surface understanding of this device. I honestly think that is all you need to know though, as a dash cam should just record as you drive and you only have to access the data when an event occurs. Questionably, that is not the case. At default, the camera only records the first and last 3 or 5 mins of your drive, which means nothing is recorded in between. They advertise their “shake/collision detection” for efficient data use, but the whole purpose of a dash cam is voided if the device begins to record AFTER an accident occurs. My family has faced this issue recently with a collision and are now facing a large repair fee as we are unable to provide sufficient proof to our insurance company. A continuing issue with the shake/collision detection is that it will record most “shakes”, such as potholes and speedbumps, and that useless content will be quietly filed into the memory card. Eventually the memory card will be full of junk and annoyingly the device will neither notify you of the issue nor delete the content due to the “Emergency Lock” feature. Unfortunately, the issue with the shake/collision detection still continues. I have 2 cars that were side swept, where one was left with a large dent that required repair. Both Dash Cams had the “shake/collision detection” at max sensitivity and both had the “24hrs parking mode” turned ON. Neither incidents were recorded. Both dash cams were supplied with constant power, so those features should have been working. For some reason though, only random incidents of people walking or cars passing were recorded. This device truly fails to record anything of meaning. Some, especially Vantrue, can argue that the settings were not correct; however, all of my incidents did not occur in one day. After every incident, I had reread the poorly written manual and adjusted the settings accordingly, but I have yet to find a setting that will provide me a standard operating Dash Cam. I should also not have to continue experimenting with the device after every incident.The only positive I can speak about this company though is their customer service. As other comments had written, these device cannot withstand heat and will burnout. One of my units had completely died with this issue, but the support team had promptly sent a replacement. I do not plan to continue using this product; however, I appreciate the appropriate response.

I bought this for my wife's new car and love the simple design for install. I also purchased the OBD connector for this for simple ease of use and install.

Amazing product. Better than any can I've had in the past so far. I love that you can record cabin, and front both in 1440p if you want. Set up and install are a breeze. Also, another thing I love is that they have a type-c connection. The suction cup/ lock design is super strong too.

First of all, the video quality is amazing. You can clearly read the license plate of the cars in front (blacked out to protect privacy in the attached photo). The interior camera is very clear even in the dark. The GPS information worked right out of box. Just had to adjust the date and the time (which is very important as videos are named based on the date and time). The videos are saved by 10 minute intervals. So you don't have to search a long video for relevant footage.The packaging was surprising nice. The camera came in fully recyclable and secure cardboard boxes. Which was a nice touch. The installation was as easy as installing a window GPS navigator. I didn't make an attempt to hide the cables, but you can if you want to as the included cable was long enough to be routed around the windshield.What was also nice was that the power cable went into the detachable base. Which means you can keep the cables connected with the camera detached for safekeeping at the same time.We replaced our old 720p camera. Which was a bit smaller but the quality was much worse and did not have a interior camera. I poped in our old Samsung SD card which the camera had to reformat to use. Not a big deal, but be sure to have a fresh SD card.

I work on a company car, and I cannot connect to the battery for the 24 parking function to work. And the site doesn't say anything about it, I ran into this after the purchase. Dash cameras are good but the site is not full description and there is no warning.

Two cameras are better than one, which is exactly what makes the Vantrue N2S 4K Dash Cam unique. I like the dual recording feature, especially when both feeds are capped at 1440p resolution. That's plenty enough and produces crisp looking video footage when there's ample lighting around. WDR also helps out tremendously for high contrast scenes. It manages to tone down the highlights to better produce a neutral exposure throughout the scene -- you can see how WDR works best when the sun is in front of the cam.The rear camera has a wide viewing angle, which easily captures both front and rear passengers. It's also useful that the black and white night vision kicks in when it gets dark out. The video quality from the "selfie" camera is also surprisingly good too.Parking mode is a great tool to have to keep an eye out on your car. However, I wish it had its own built-in battery because in order to use Parking Mode, you will need to supply external power to the Vantrue N2S 4K Dash Cam when you turn off your car. If you don't, it will simply lose power and not function.One area of weakness is its performance under low light conditions. The footage becomes super soft and grainy, so making out the license plates of cars in front of me is nearly impossible with the camera. It's no problem when there's light out. At least the frame rate seems to maintain a steady rate.Lastly, I wish that it had some sort of Wi-Fi functionality with an app because in order to view the footage (other than through the dash cam itself), you'll need to remove the microSD card and view it on a computer. For the price, I was hoping for it to have some sort of app integration.

I received the Vantrue N2S product yesterday afternoon and proceeded to test right away. Attractive packaging and easy to unpack and install. This is my second Vantrue camera. My first Vantrue dash cam has been in operation for 18 months through hot summers and relatively cold winters. I know their product is high quality.Based on about 5 hours of use so far, this new camera is EXCEPTIONAL. The clarity of the video is unmatched and the form factor is such that you can position in front of the rearview mirror and not be too much of a distraction. I installed my newly-purchased microSD card off I went... OK, there is the menu set-up process you have to go through and select the various options but the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I drove around in my Lexus sedan for a couple of hours using the front only mode (4K quality). I downloaded the video clips using my laptop. EASY and the videos were amazingly clear, even at dusk. The switch to night mode is automatic and the videos maintain its high clarity.This morning, I decided to put in my wife's van (where it will stay) and the installation was straightforward. I switched to the dual cam mode and was thrilled to see that the cabin facing cam results in the needed high clarity and resolution. I will look into the hardware set-up that allos a direct hook up to the car battery but for now, the cables can be wrapped around the sun visor and to the plug-in.I bought this for the same thing reason that most folks buy a dash cam, piece of mind in case of a mishap. My family members are worth it. There are some crazy drivers all around us these days. The Vantrue N2S is an exceptional camera with useful features (dual cam, 4K clarity with front only, built-in GPS, and sleek form factor) that will provide that piece of mind.

I’ve been using this dash cam for two weeks now. I read the Vantrue reviews on this Product and I was like let me get this see if I like it, and I am happy I made this choice. It’s my first dash cam I owned and I actually love it. It’s really easy to install, very clear picture and voice recording as well. Also, I feel really safe now driving on the street. For the price I it’s really worth to get!

Let me start this review by saying how much I love the packaging and design of the dash cam. Whoever did the design - hats off to you! The packaging seems on par with those of Apple products. The contents of the box are so thoughtfully organized with symbols for each item (see pictures).The dash cam build quality is solid and doesn’t feel cheap. Since the USB & 12V charging cables are USB-C type, it is much better than the regular dash cams. The suction mount comes with built-in GPS, which is a plus point.The video and audio quality of the recordings is excellent - amazing 4K resolution, which can be played back on a Smart TV without loss in recording quality. You won’t have a hard time reading the license plates or seeing other details.Thank you Vantrue for making an excellent premium dash cam.

I drive for a living and wanted a small inconspicuous design that would not distract me from the road. The dash camera has great suction to the windshield. Small enough to be mounted anywhere on the windshield with minimal impact to your field of view. Length of wires is great. Video and audio quality on my computer of recorded items is amazing. I would highly recommend this product to a friend

This is my first dash cam and I got it just in case I get in an accident. The daytime video quality is excellent. I haven’t tried nighttime yet. I found the camera menu easy to use and fairly straightforward. I had to download a special (but free) media player, VLC, to be able to view the MP4 videos. The only thing I was not thrilled by was the windshield mount which allowed the camera to jiggle quite a bit due to road surface and stiff suspension. I am overall very pleased with the camera. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 due to the windshield mount.

The N2S is very easy to install and I didn't have any issues with going through the menu with its clean format. I enjoy how the save button is separate and red at night so you won't miss it if you need to lock a video clip. The footage is crisp and even the infrared does its job well. I saw no trouble with seeing other license plates on the cars during the day or night. This N2S comes with a built in gps in the mount which shows your exact coordinates and your speed which can be helpful. I turned on all of the information but you can always turn it off in the settings.Definitely a keeper and will be used to its full potential. If you're going to go for a dashcam, go for a right one that'll last you forever.

I've been using this dash cam for about a week, so keep that in mind. This is my second 4k dash cam for my wife so quality wise, I kind of know what I was getting. The sensors are different, IMX335 in N2S compare to IMX317. There's no noticeable difference but night time in N2S comes out ahead. I feel like Vantrue really spent time on features and maybe the processing power, and the interface is very easy to navigate. Other than normal features you'd find in a dash cam, N2S comes with a GPS mount so you no longer have to buy an add on. The G-sensor is a bit sensitive, I suggest turning it down to 1 or 2 or you'll fill up your card in no time (they don't get overwritten). I suggest changing the resolution to 3840x2160p@25fps. The smaller frame rate isn't a big deal, and you can clearly see license plates and road signs, which I assume if most important for people using a dash cam.I've uploaded a video showing the quality in an overcast day. The quality may not reflect original quality. Note the interior camera isn't turned on. The resolution is 2592x1520p @30fps. There's no 60fps for some reason, but it doesn't bother me for what I use it for.The interior camera I believe use different sensor and it's wide angle. I wanted a dual camera one not because I drive for uber or anything, just wanted to be able to see inside. The added point is that I can see out of both side windows and back. You can also move the camera up and down a little. There's also night vision that will automatically turn on, which is just black and white, but it's better than nothing at night time.For me personally, I'm glad I choice to buy another 4k camera instead of the same one that I have, especially for its low profile. Their prices are about the same so that wasn't a factor. If I had to choose though, I'd keep N2S due to the benefits above. If your budget is ~$200, I don't think you'll be disappointed with N2S.

I have been doing Uber for while and wanted to get a dashcam which also records inside the car. Upon my friend suggestion, I gave this dashcam a try. So far I have no regrets. It is professionally packaged and has a sleek look. It has decent quality and user friendly. I haven’t used the GPS feature yet but once I do I will try to update my review. It has a lighter connector as well as a usb cable for powering the device.

The suction cup was not holding on the windshield
Vantrue Customer
I got this dash cam to replace an older, different brand dash cam I had. My main concern was with the sensitivity when driving, but I’m pleased that this Vantrue dashcam doesn’t have any of the problems that I had before! It arrived in good condition and packaging is nice. The suction is really strong so I don’t have to worry about it falling off too. There are a few settings to play around with and overall the camera quality is very clear and it works well.
Natalie Russell
It’s easy to use, menu options and layout are intuitive. Picture quality for both cameras is better than expected at night.
Stella
I have the older version Vantrue N2 Pro and this on provides 4K resolution upgrade. Definitely great for Uber and Lyft drivers to keep the cabin monitoring. Have it in hand for a month and so far so good

I bought this dash cam to replace an older Vantrue dash cam and I’m very happy with my purchase. This dash cam came with gps enabled. The previous camera the gps unit was a separate purchase. It does not come with a memory card (I knew this) so I bought a 256 gig card and it works perfect. I also bought the hardwire kit so I could fully utilize the parking mode. The main upgrade I noticed was the dash cam’s resolution was much better than my old cam. The video quality is very clear. I’m glad I upgraded and am seriously thinking about getting another one for my wife’s car.

Easy to setup and install, very good quality video. The audio could be a little better but not a big deal to me. Wish the usb-c cable was longer like the cigarette to usb-c cable. Overall good purchase.

I was watching a couple YouTube videos on driving fails and how people can easily record their driving for it to be helpful in case of an accident ( assuming the other person is at fault).After researching a lot of dash cams, Vantrue dash cams came on the top of my list. I wanted a dash cam which could record in 4K resolution and wouldn’t give me hard time seeing license plates at night time. The N2S dual dash cam felt the right choice- and I’m glad I purchased that.This dash cam uses a super capacitor instead of a lithium battery, so it will have a long life and be more safe in extreme climate conditions. The build quality is great and better than its competitors.Overall, I think this will stand the test of time and will serve my needs well. I recommend this product to anyone looking for a great 4K dash cam.
letmepicyou
As soon as we get another good snow here in Ohio, I'm going to upload some video from this. This is a top quality cam. I got it to replace an aging Uniden dash cam which didn't have in-car cam capabilities. I like that this one does.Like all dash cams I've owned, bass activates the collision detection. So I always have to turn that off. But this was easy to install (I did not hard wire it) and works amazingly well. Razor sharp video.Everyone should have a dash cam. The accident is always the other guy's fault. With this, you can prove it.
Darian Wong
Overall I am happy with the quality of this dashcam. The packing it came in was very nice and organized. It is easy to install and use. The quality of the picture is great with really good detail. Also, the front and back camera really puts me at ease especially since I drive Lyft on my free time. Definitely worth the purchase. Just make sure to get a micro sd card class 10 with it since it doesnt come with one.
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.
