Can't use sandisk or any other memory card reliably, unit can destroy your battery, probably leaks your info to chinese hackers, unit stops working a few weeks in. These are just a few of the issues with this camera. I did like reading the other reviews with poorly written English and seeing that somehow this item has nearly 5 stars on Vantrue. Can you say fail and lies by Vantrue?
Please read carefully:Now it’s time to write my preview, i’v been using the camera long time ago , i had an accident on November 18th 2019 , in the next following day , i was looking for the accident in the camera to send it to my insurance company to show them that the accident wasn’t my fault but unfortunately i did not find any video about that date specifically, there is video for older and after that date but for same date could not find it and the clue is gone , i paid very high price to get a good quality camera but unfortunately it’s not about the price , I contacted the seller and asked him if there is any way to get the video or even if i can delete the old one because every time i try to delete the old videos or format the camera , it says “ videos are protected “ the seller even didn’t help for this purpose .Hope you all try the camera and test it well after purchasing it then go for it .Thank you
Ive used this camera for the last 6 months, I now own this camera in all of my vehicles. It has saved my wife from speeding tickets twice. Picture quality day and night is clear. Buy the fuse kit to hard wire it to your car.
Bought this product bc we were going on a long road trip and wanted to have it for security. I had someone hardwire the device to my fuse box/battery so the parking option could be used. Fortunately no incidents on our trip. The camera worked well. It’s easy to position and you can run through the menu items and customize your options with a little help from the user manual. I left most of the default options as they were. It’s small and doesn’t pose any vision hindrance. All in all, pleased with the purchase and function of the camera.
In love with my dash cam! So excited that it’s dual because how cool. It was a Christmas gift so I’ve only used it a few times so far but with no issues. I do wish that you could “unprotect all” files the same way you can delete all files. Playing around trying to learn buttons I locked quite a few files and had to unlock them one by one. I haven’t uploaded to a computer yet but when rewatching files on the camera it’s very clear so I can just imagine how great the quality would be on a larger screen. I really like that you can turn off the screen during recording so it’s not a distraction.
If you do rideshare than you absolutely need this dashcam. It’s fantastic and has payed for itself 10 fold in numerous situations. It has both front and rear cameras and has every feature your would need like night vision and continuous loop recording.
this camera has worked flawlessly for me the last 2 months. the only thing could make it better would be blue tooth access to it but for the price, who cares. it does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it extremely well. fwiw, i have not used the park mode yet.
Easy to plug and play. Recorded video in the rain at night and could read signs and license plates with ease. Will upload video and pictures in the future.
Didn’t give it a 5 star on the picture quality cause it looks a little purplish as others have stated but all in all a great dual camera for my Uber driving.
The camera video recording and playback quality is excellent. There is a much improved and stable mount that supports the camera attaching it securely to the front windshield glass. The vendor and it representative Arie are the best. I would definitely continue doing business with this company and explore their other products. I am actually thinking of adding another of their camera products to my 2nd vehicle.
This dash cam is a waste of money. The parking feature doesn't work because the battery is so awful the camera can't stay on to record, say when a coworker dings your door and footage of said act would have prevented you from footing the bill. Or say when a repair shop takes your car for a test drive and you have no proof of what they did on said drive when they damaged the car. You know, the actual functions of a dash cam.I have had this camera for months now and have just realized that the oldest footage was not getting deleted from the memory card as it fills up, like its supposed to. Instead every time I start my car and take it for a drive, the camera APPEARS to be be fully functioning and recording when it in fact hasn't saved new footage for MONTHS.Save your money and don't buy this camera. Its a complete waste and I'm utterly disappointed. I want my money back so I can buy something that works....
Mine lasted about a year and now it won’t turn on. Internal battery stopped working after like 6 months so every time I set the date it factory reset the next time I started the car. Professionally installed also. Meh
When this cam was shut down, the date goes back to 1 year ago and it keeps recording certain period over and over so that I lost all the videos in that period. Also not so great video quality with thrash file size. only 3mins video has 227MB.64GB memory contain only a few days. I do not recommend it
So far the camera has been outstanding. Other than routing the power cable, setup is very simple and fast. Picture quality is top notch. Very impressed with the camera.
The camera is fairly easy to setup and use. I did find that the sound recording was turned off on the factory setting, so if you want sound, you do need to make this change.With regard to video quality, there is a large difference in the night and day recording. The daytime recording has a good picture, but I did find that the detail is not to the level that you can read license plates. The night vision still lacks considerably. The inside camera is almost worthless at night, especially if you have low light, or tinted windows. The forward camera is view-able, but other light sources washout the picture often.With regard to quality...I am impressed on how well the suction cup holds in hot and cold weather. I have used this through one summer and this winter, and the cup stays in place. Almost to well if fact....because I had some supplies that caught on the power cord and ripped the cord from the base mount. The cup stayed on the window, but the cord ripped the plug and broke the plastic from the mount. Fortunately, I was just able to order a replacement mount.Overall...I do think it is one of the better camera's in the price range. However, if you need night recording, the technology is still lacking.
Great Camera, nothing but good things to say with the exception of the memory life. If it sits too long, the date and time stamp resets. Only upgrade I'd like or wish it had Is the ability to send to your phone. But it's the only camera that's always recorded when i need it to. I trust it to work every time
This dash cam can capture good pictures and videos. but the cons on parking mode. the parking mode is not PRO. i parked the car the parking mode not automatic activated, even i manual press the key still not activated. parking mode must connected to power bank. other cons is no wifi and apps to review picture or videos. if you have any accident must remove the sd card and use computer to review.
Seemed easy to set up, the only thing that was confusing was not being sure if it was recording. The camera comes on then it shuts itself off. Hopefully it will work when needed.
I loved this dash cam and cannot talk high enough about it. I did have a small issue with the cord and customer support was fast and amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend this dash cam and this company.
I have been meaning to pickup a dash cam for a while now and I am very happy with this one. The picture quality is excellent and the images are very sharp and detailed from both the front and back cameras. The parking mode is great because I leave my car parked on the street in the city, it's nice to have some peace of mind if someone breaking into my car or backs into it when I'm not around. The camera is really straightforward and easy to use.
Over all I like the camera very much. It was very easy to set up and use right out of the box. Down loading and viewing video is easy. I am a novice when it comes to technology. he picture quality is great. My only issue is the Parking Mode feature. I have not contacted the manufacturer yet on this but will shortly. I have tried Parking Mode a few time and on both occasions the video didn't record during motion in front of it and stopped while movement was still occurring in front of it. That is why I only gave it 4 stars. I will update this when I get the issue resolved. Best.
Really a nice camera. Had to play with some settings for different light, but it's very easy to use. Great quality and wide angle are perfect for the price.
Purchased a couple of weeks ago and am liking the cam a lot! With so many distracted drivers out there it's important to have a video record in case they wreck me or cause me to wreck. I had several questions about operating the cam and Vanture Support has been awesome!
I've bought this cam about 2 months ago and have some feedback to share. Why I choose this cam? For me, as a relatively new driver, it was important to have front car camera so in case of accident or something happened to my car I have an evidence of what actually happened. Second, my husband works as an Uber driver from time to time, so I also wanted the cam which records interior of the car at the same time for the sake of safety and security. The quality of both way recordings is very clear, resolution is at high level, even at night time. Besides that, for me as a women without tech background it was easy to install the cam, took me less than 5 min. I've been also worried that camera with that many features will be a bit bulky, however, was pleasantly surprised when open the package: the dash cam is not big at all, fits my palm as shown in the pics attached. I would definitely recommend it as a perfect Xmas gift, especially for fresh drivers or those who work for ride sharing businesses.
I used several different dash cams before but all of them were front camera only. I need a dual dash cam for safety issues when I need to drive my friend’s kids to school. Another reason I bought this product because it has a 24-hour parking mode and night vision. I had a bad experience when I parked my car on the street, my car got hit and run without any evidence. Surprisingly, this dash cam includes front and inside cameras. The dual dash cam is easy to set up and with excellent quality of hi-resolution video. The quality of the videos is clear to read license plates both day and night. You can see everything when you upload the videos on a computer. It is perfectly compatible with my SanDisk 128gb high endurance video microSDXC card. A video is worth a thousand words! Not just for accidents but also for protecting my family.
The dash cam is exactly as described. Put in micro-sd card, mount on winshield, rout cable and plug in. Took less than 15min.Dilivery notice said package was handed directly to resident. It was not, it was on my porch when I got home.
I uber and Lyft and have been looking for a good video camera. This N2 pro was easy set up. As usual, navigation thru the menu screen is a bit of a challenge for a few minutes then you see and do. Small buttons for chubby fingers might cause a expletives, slow down, it's easy one you understand their system. I also purchased the power supply using the computer connection slot. It took a few minutes to get the wire hidden in the panels etc. I used a butter knife and was 10 minutes all done. The picture quality is impressive day or night. The unit it self is very small. Clean the windshield area you want attach the suction cup, slide the camera in place, after you have formatted the memory cardTurn on, move it around a bit to get the best spot to see front and passenger area. I got the 256Gb sd card. I drive a lot and dont feel like deleting etc every day or so. The large should give me at least a weeks worth of video. You have various options or just defaults settings. Open the box and you should be done in 30min or less. If it falls in some area I'll update but with approx 8 hrs already impressed. If you view you day travels on your computer, the front facing and rear passenger view are split into 2 files. So you you the trip via front then the next file will be the interior. Good if you only want one or the other to save.
There is so much to like, great video quality for sure. However, I am just within the 18-month warranty and the internal battery has died. The camera operates when connected to an outside power source. However, with no internal battery function, the moment the car is turned off the camera stops. No parking lot monitor function. I won't take a charge at all. Not from the car charger or at my USB charger that is 110V powered. I've notified VanTrue Customer Support who has suggested I update the Firmware so that has now been done. It appears to have had no effect on the battery condition whatsoever. I've again reached out to Customer Support for a resolution. They've already advised the battery can not be changed by the customer so they probably will exchange the camera? I will update once this is resolved.
I bought a dash cam so I could capture some of the crazy things I see and also to cover my butt in case of an accident. I chose the N2 Pro because it was one of the top rated cams and I liked its design. There are many other cams out there making it hard to choose but i am very satisfied with this one. Many others have phone apps but the apps had awful reviews in the Play Store and I am happy I can rely on the SD card or plugging the cam into a computer instead.The camera can pick up license plates from a distance! This was a huge must for me. Even if you don't need a rear(interior) camera, you can take advantage of a higher resolution front(outside) camera if you turn it off. It is not common to get greater than 1080p resolution for this price!
Makes the ride just a bit safer! I am a ride-share driver and this cam is exactly what was looking for. 1080p and audio recording. Even the IR looks awesome.
I use a vantrue camera for already a week. What I like is excellent quality video at night mode. Picture quality is exactly what i expected - so far I am completely satisfied!
Very satisfied with the overall performance of the Dash cam, awesome video quality... I consider my self as loyal customer.I had recently issues with the cam, contacted customer service and i received a very professional response from them. they guide me to review the issue on the cam, and they replace it immediately. They are focused on customer satisfaction. I'm more than happy with them. Thank you Echo and Vantrue Customer Service Team
This dash cam is way better than the Waylens 360. For a couple of reasons the vanture n2 dash camera does not require a monthly subscription. Does not require wifi to connect and it's not bulky like the waylens 360. The dash cam records non stop while the waylens only record motion and/or sound. Also the price is way better.
Great picture at the highest setting. Video looks smooth. Fairly easy set up. Havent tried the night vision but the video it takes at night still look good.
This camera is amazing. I bought it based off the reviews and product testing videos I found on YouTube. It works just as well as they say it does. Night vision and audio are very clear. I love it.
It’s small and easy to setup. The car charger has a piggyback USB that I would like to know the voltage of, so I know if it’s too much for my iPhone. Also it might stay on while the car charger is plugged in so better unplug the piggyback. The warranty is really nice and the company has a great social media presence. There’s a g-sensor for automatic accident detection and it saves it in the event folder which you can access and delete right from the device. The IR night vision is automatic, there’s DATE/TIME, VEHICLE ID, as well as a proprietary GPS mount that tracks SPEED, and LOCATION. (Sold Separately) it can even plug into your TV if you buy the right HDMI cord, you can watch playback right from your TV. There’s a MICROPHONE too! Great for funny moments, since you can on the fly request to save footage. Oh and there’s a safety feature called Parking Mode which basically is a motion detector that keeps your camera always active in case of maybe a break in. BUT WHAT IF THEY JUST TAKE THW CAMERA?? So yeah... It recommends doing the battery install vs cigarettes charger if parking mode is something you want. The camera is also setup for accessibilities like AUTO LOOPING footage so it records over old footage/locks important footage. You can take screenshots, and turn the LCD screen to automatically shut off with timers ranging from 1,3,5 mins on most auto settings. GET THE CAMERA IF YOU REALLY WANT A FUN TECHY TOY!
When we use it, it works very well! I love that it records inside too! I used to purchase from Rexing dashcam but all of them would have issues sooner or later. It is much more pricey than rexing but no issues so far.
I've had my camera for about 1 week now and it's met every expectation I've had.I'm mostly using it with the front and rear camera. Picture and Sound quality is really good and the IR Night Vision looks good too. Would definitely recommend it.
This is a great camera when it works, but sadly its not quality built. Died after less than 1 year of use, and cannot get Vantrue to respond when I inquire about getting a warranty replacement. I researched these pretty heavily before buying, and all signs pointed toward this being a good choice. NOPE! If you want something that will last, spend the extra and get a Blackvue. Don't buy this chincy POS. Did not last one Texas summer.
This is a great product. I am very happy with design and quality of video. The biggest issue I have with this item is its attachment to the windshield. While driving, the suction cup keeps failing and drops. It has happened multiple times. I had to tie the camera with string so it wont break when the suction cup fails again. I really hope the company looks at this review and makes adjustments going forward.
1st dash cam purchase starts with Vantrue N2 Pro. Took it out for a test drive & ❤ it. I already feel like I'll drive safer, somebody is watching, and I'll know the video of whatever happens will tell the story. Go get one for every car.
I bought a Vantrue N2 Pro Uber Dual Dash Cam Dual from Vantrue and it took me around 15 minutes to install it including the hardwire kit connecting to the OBD connecter of my Honda Civic, very easy just plug and play. now I have 24 surveillance of my car. I love this product and highly recommended it to anyone looking for dash cam. 5 *****
Amazing device! Worth the money if you have it. My car got hit in a parking garage in college and decided to buy this bc they don’t have cameras in the parking garages... can be hard wired but don’t leave for long periods of time bc it can drain your battery. Not meant for more than a few hours. Overall, great product & high quality.
I just love my auto camera. These cameras are of good quality. I purchased separately a battery pack to enable the parking mode feature. I did not want to hard wire this camera. If you have doubts, No Worries, Purchase this camera and you will not be dissatisfied. I'll update if I have any problems.UPDATE:I have had the dash cam for almost 18 months and I still love it. I recently had an issue and contacted the tech side. They responded the same day. Very helpful. This issue I had was not due to the product but software I was using to view footage. Yes, This is a great product. I will buy again when needed.
I’ve had this camera for a week now and absolutely love it. The picture and video quality is spot on. I definitely would recommend this to anyone looking for a great camera!
if you want a great dash cam for a low cost this thing is great. Although the full FPS for License plate capturing means you can't have both lenses on. so that is of little concern because most of the time you want video outside the car not in the car.
Product impression: It does not look cheap. It’s well built and the outside feels like rubberized. I left it in a car through very hot summer and still no issue.
Very good resolution: See the photos. Both interior and exterior resolutions are good. Interior of my car is black leather and the person is wearing dark blue jacket but the camera still shows a good image. I redacted the face but details are pretty good. Vehicle license plate numbers can be read on 1080P (outside)/1080P(inside). The menu also offers a higher resolution but then it does not offer dual camera views.
Easy setup: Good suction cup/holder is very steady and not shaky. Well built, plug and play as the factory setting is already good for most users. Menu and buttons are simple and easy to understand. Good user interface.
Excellent/responsive customer: Customer support by email is very responsive and genuinely interested in resolving a customer’s concerns and issues. It generally takes 1 or 2 days to response but they do get back to you. They also don’t hesitate to offer exchange a defective dash cam under warranty after trouble shootings.
Optional GPS: Quick fix GPS antenna and enables speed of a vehicle stamps on video files.
Suggestion: Use good quality micro SD cards made for frequent write/delete like SanDisk High Endurance Video Monitoring. Check once in a while to make sure the files are not corrupted. Reformat every 1 or 2 weeks. Keep one extra SD card as backup. Throw away and get a new one if SD cards keep corrupted or turns on/off the dash cam. Also, always use OEM cable and charger. Connect USB directly to the dash cam rather than through the holder or GPS antenna if you are having any power issue. Update firmware only if necessary so that you know if the dash cam experiences some issues you can spot the issue.
