Mounting clip broke in 6 month.Cannot get in touch with provider about warranty.Quality of the picture far from 4K. In the moving car licence plate not visible.
I used a 16G micro SD card made in China to test and so far it has worked flawlessly.Well packed, with clear instructions, easy to use menu on camera. Sharp clear 1080p video.The product description says:"Please DON'T use Sandisk Card and Transend Card. We recommend to use Vanture Micro SD card." That is BS. My Sandisk micro SD card works just fine.
I bought this back in June and I had no problems with it. It's small and does not obstruct my view. However, after a couple of months, the suction part of the camera stopped functioning properly. I went inside my car once and the camera had fallen. Of course, I put it back on but noticed it happening a lot more often now, the suction cup thing does not hold on anymore. Is there anyone I can contact to get another one?
Been looking for a dashcam for a while and decided on this when it was recommended by some Youtubers. It has a small size and the video quality is very good for a small package.
This is my first dashcam. I read a lot of positive reviews on this unit, and my expectations were met. It looks like a well-built unit and the installation and setup went smoothly. I decided to use the accessory power cable provided, so I can't use or test the park function. If you want that function you will need to buy a cable kit that converts the power and limits the time the cam loads and drains the battery.I tucked the cable out of sight along the headliner and door moldings. Setup was quick and I downloaded the viewing app on my WIN 10 computer to view the videos. I bought the Vantrue GPS mount for this unit so I can see the map and route display with the videos. The only thing in the setup process that made me stop and think was the "frequency" setting. It is 60 Hz for North America.
Good camera over all however the battery lasts only one day if you lucky and the camera constantly turns on when it is extremely windy out. All this being said it’s a great cheap camera to C.Y.A. incase you get hit by someone
the 24hrs parking mode doesnt work at all. I perfer the size of the lens a littlel smaller or leans towards the left so i can put my dashcam on the right side on the windwhield. otherwise things are good. quality is good.
I've been using this dash cam for over a year now. It works great. Set up was easy. After that, it requires no extra attention or care unless if something goes wrong. While the suction cup is quite strong, it has fallen off the windshield when there is lots of movement. When it happened a week ago, then the connector came off of the charging cable. However, I emailed Vantrue to let them know about the issue and they offered to send me a new cable. I'm very happy with their great service. I would definitely recommend this product and company.
The Vantrue N1 Pro was easy to set up, the operation intuitive.Video quality is clear and bright, this little dashcam does all the book says it can do.I can recommend this product.
This camera works great for about half a year and then it goes wonky. Doesn’t record all trips, records wrong date, audio turns off and now the few times it saves a file it’s recording in fast forward.Not recommended.
This camera looks great and the video quality is excellent. It has some great features and is easy to install and operate. My only real complaint is that the mount does not allow the camera to swivel 360 degrees. I was hoping it would swivel far enough to view the driver and passenger windows when needed. But unfortunately it does not swivel any further than my side view mirrors.
Vantrue N1 dashcam is a great camera. The day and night pictures are very clear and bright. I bought the camera because its small and fits perfectly behind the rear view mirror, hidden from thieves. Took out sim card and watched the recordings on pc. Good unit for the price.
After my brother got into an accident that was not his fault I decided to get a dashcam and settled on this one for the price. I don't use the motion detection since at work I face a major roadway and at home I park in a garage. Picture quality is great, at night there is some blooming from lights which was expected. I am very happy with this dashcam.
this camera was actually of a great quality really loved it this this time even tho i was really hesitant in buying this because the first one i bought just one week before came with defects and was really horrible, but then other people were able to convince it was just a faulty one i got so i got another and this is amazing now really would recommend this now to anyone
This is the only decent, cheap Dashcam I've come across. Ive been burned a couple times on ones that just didnt work right that this Vantrue is a blessing.
Stopped working after very little use. Absolutely do not buy this product. Unfortunately I’m unlikely to get any support because I bought it awhile ago and only somewhat recently hooked it up. It worked fine at first and just stopped working for no reason (doesn’t seem to hold power).
The Vantrue N1 Pro is the perfect budget dash cam. It's compact in size, setup/install is easy, has all the required features and takes good quality 1080p video. Would recommend.
Definitely one of the cheaper priced dash cams on the market but performs excellent. Got this after my friend let me borrow his and was amazed at the quality for such an inexpensive and small dash cam! Customer service was also great, friendly and fast. Also comes with warranty! Great buy.
The camera is compact very clear picture motion detection works good tried two other types they don’t come close to this product (N1 Pro) power cord length is good in a full size truck highly recommended
The item was delivered on time, thanks to Vantrue Prime This dashcam was pretty small, yet it possess the qualities that you will be looking for in a dashcam. The daytime capture in FHD looks very sharp and clear. But you will appreciate it more when night time comes. The details on the road can be seen perfectly. It certainly do what it promises on paper. This is the best budget friendly dashcam that I have ever tried in my whole driving career (no joke). So if you are looking for a high quality dashcam without 'breaking the bank', this one is for you.
My previous cam did not come close to the quality of this one. When it was time to upgrade I went on line to see reviews of the best dash cams. This cam came very highly rated. So far it has exceeded expectations. The ease of installation and operation makes it ideal and the size is very compact to say the least.
I have seen many car dash camera videos on YouTube of accidents being caught on tape and decided to get one for myself after getting into a car wreck that was disputed. It’s a very important addition! No one can argue camera footage of an accident.This little device works wonders! I was extremely impressed by the Full HD 1080P providing clear image. Super easy to instal but you must note that the memory card is not included. Overall, highly recommended.
Short and sweet.Spend more money and get something with a little better quality.1 star overall because its main purpose to record your drive is failed.MAJOR ISSUE.During normal operation, the camera will stop recording and not continue for a varied amount of time but at least a minute and a half, sometimes longer.I have contacted support and was told to format my SD card and update firmware but it did not resolve the issue.Objectively.Camera quality is okay at most.In good lighting conditions, the license plate of the car in front of you WILL NOT be visible but the cars will not be too grainy.In dark or low light conditions the camera quality performs better than expected.Motion detection is a 5 stars.Car park mode is great. The camera will turn on and start recording within seconds.
It is a small, easy to install and uninstall on the windshield, intuitive settings, and quality image. I've been using it for a few weeks now and got no problems.
This product is understated for its price. Night video quality is decent. It switches on with the ignition of the vehicle & due to its small footprint sits in disguise behind internal rear view mirror. Cable supplied is long enough and of good quality.There can be 2 scope of improvements; Memory card needs to be FAT32 formatted before use else camera does noy recognize the memory card and keeps giving error. Windows 10 onwards you cannot format a any storage device into FAT32 file format and this is an issue. I had to find an online software, install & format the card. I hope in future upgrades camera is able to recognize newer file formats.Second issue, this still has a battery inside & moreover i don't think so it can be replaced anyhow if required. So basically in extreme temperatures camera might not switch on(product mentions a safe range of negative temperature until which will function as usual). Also towards end of battery life cycle camera might stop working, it could be 1 / 2 / 3 years, i am not sure.
I've only been using this for one day so far... but I'm already loving it. Great picture quality, even in low light. Decent sound capture. The mount seems strong. Very happy with my purchase.
30s video = 900k words? Included a short video to show the unexpectedly good quality from such a small camera during rain and night time. License plates could be read from the video. It was easy to setup. I didn't even have to read the instruction book. 32GB memory card stores around 4 hours of looped video.
This is a nice little dash cam that does not get your way. It has fantastic picture quality and very sensitive to record someone banging into your vechicle.
Before i purchased both the N1 and the S1, i had a DOD dashcam, which worked great. Received as a gift and it was my only dashcam.I decided to get another dashcam for my wife's car, and wanted the added security of having the rear recorded as well.I purchased the S1 for my minivan, and the N1 mini for my wife's vehicle, and used the DOD dashcam for her rear window.The N1 is a great compact little dashcam, that records clean, clear quality footage and is easy to set up and use.The mount is great with a twist on / twist off suction, and keeping the mount in the car, and removing the dashcam from the mount is super easy and convenient.If there was a wishlist, i would only ask for this to have the ability to record in 4k. That being said, the video quality at 1080p that this records at, is great.
After having used the camera for soon half a year, these are my thoughts and experience.The video quality is good, absolutely no complaints there. Of course, because of the wide angle lens the video has fisheye distortion. The camera interface is reasonably good. The menus are easy to navigate but the function of the buttons, and mostly how they are labeled, is somewhat confusing - read the manual!The original camera did develop a problem of the battery not holding a charge and settings being lost. After some back-and-forth with the VanTrue technical support, they shipped me a replacement camera which I appreciate.All in all, a good camera which I can happily recommend assuming my issue with the original camera was a one-off.
One word for this cam......Amazing! Great price for this product. The features are great, gives you options that other dash cams don't have. I like the fact that I am able to change the loop recording 1, 3 or 5 minutes or off. I am planning to use this dash cam for recording driving videos on trips (enjoy scenic drives). Also time lapse video can set set at 1,5 or 10 seconds which will be useful for the longer drives. Video is clear and seamless. The other feature I like is the fact that the power cord attaches to the suction cup, you can leave the power cord set up and just detach or attach the cam as needed (do not want to leave the cam in car when site seeing). Downloading to tablet or computer is easy, just press OK for mass storage. The only drawback is no video options, just have MOV mode, but all the features out weigh this. Great warranty of 18 months and 30 day money back. I also purchased Asurion 3 Year Auto Accessories Protection Plan for piece of mind from reading previous comments. I contacted Vantrue through FB messenger and got a prompt reply which was very helpful. Love this product and I am going to enjoy using it.

what an absolute piece of fine art this dash-cam is! I have been looking for a dash-cam for quite some time now and I finally found one. Very unique design, it easily hides behind me car’s entertainment screen so it doesn’t distract me at all. The best feature I love about this dash-cam is the option of screen rotation so that you can mount it on the dashboard instead of windshield. This way you don’t have a wire hanging out from the top and you don’t have to take your panels off to stick the wire in. You do have to buy the adhesive disc separate though which I wish they provided with the cam, I would happily pay extra for that. In nutshell, this is a great buy, has everything that you may want in a dash-cam.
I wasn't expecting id get something this great at this price point. Is already paid for itself and the options are all there to customize it to record exactly how you want to record.Vantrue has made me a believer in dashcams with how great this unit is
Pro: 1. Small size 2. Easy to install 3. Power windshield mount.Cons: 1. No phone app 2. No wifi or Bluetooth 3. Menus are confusing, selection of mode is quite confusing
Instructions are somewhat hard to interpret (that's why 4 stars) and I wasn't sure if I should leave the 1-, 3-, or 5-minute overwrite function alone. Ended up turning that off to fill the card. Now about to turn it back on to compare. What I want is for the camera to store possible problems (bumps and thumps that may be an accident) but constantly overwrite the non-important stuff so I don't have to format weekly. Controls though are very easy to use and menu very easy to navigate. Videos are nice and clear. Parking sensitivity seems to be very touchy. Will try other settings. All in all a very good dashcam for the price.
The video recording quality pretty good. The manual instructions should be reviewed as the guide line on some set up are considered misleading and confusing for a new customer.
I can not believe the picture quality of this dash cam for the price. I would highly recommend it compared to the garbage ones I’ve bought before for the fraction of the price
Compact design. Easy installation. The extra cable to connect to computer is very handy.No need to remove the sd card and put it to computer. No sound recording though!!!Night vision and day recording is satisfying. Comes with long flexible cable to install . The car in the video is Nissan Pathfinder.
Really happy with this dash cam. This is my second one (for my wife's car). Has a battery so continues to film a bit after turning off. Good quality video. For the price I don't think you can find a better one.
Vantrue is a fantastic product line. I have this one in my rear window and the N2pro dual cam in front. They are both incredible cams that do exactly what they should. I almost never touch them, but whenever I see anything on the road It gets captured without fail. I suggest also ordering the install kit so that they stay on all the time with the motion sensor active. It's an awesome piece of mind when leaving your ride in a parking lot or in public places, knowing that if anyone was to ever damage your car is sure to provide valuable evidence. Also doesn't hurt to have that extra line of video monitoring parked in the driveway. I actually like to park in such a way that I capture anyone approaching on the dash cam. These days you just never know who's going to show up. I've actually seen more wildlife than anything, lol. Mostly deer and raccoons.Thanks again Vantrue!
Exellent dash cam for the price point ( I got $20 Vantrue discount as well). Both day and night video 1080p quality is good. Some of the other things I like about it:-256gb card compatible-comes with suction mount (not sticky tapes)-small size-decent audio recordingSome nice to haves would be:- Android or iOS app- WiFi / hotspot for easy video downloadOverall, very happy with my purchase!
Recently, the dashcam of my parents car broke and Ive been searching for another one. I contemplated whether to get this one or not because it had a screen. When it arrived, I was pleased. Its quite small and the screen automatically shuts off. It came with an adapter that can be connected to my computer as well. Very easy to use and set up.
I have purchased a dozen cameras and hard-wire kits for my fleet. The video quality is excellent. No issues with the mounting system as reviewed by others. Installation was easy and took about 20 minutes are less. Setup was easy as well. The only setup recommendation is the sensitivity level should be set to low. I had one truck set to high accident detection while on the highway driving it would "sense" an incident and store the video in the locked folder filling the memory card quickly.
Functional dashcam for the price. The picture quality is not the absolute greatest. You will be able to see license numbers when the car is very close to you and stationary, but if moving and ~5 to 10 meters away you'd have to do some guessing. Overall I did not expect this to be an HD camera and just needed it to record events rather than read plates, it fills my needs well for a good price.
Only had this for a couple of weeks, but so far the video capture is good quality in both day and night.Easy to setup both the camera setting and in the car.
Amazing dashcam. Very discreet hidden right behind the rear view mirror. Video quality is truly one of the best. Easy to setup and use. Video looks vividly clear on a big screen tv. I haven’t use the motion detection yet though but everything else works great. Would definitely recommend buying this dashcam. Great item and great customer service.
Have not had to look at the video quality for night time (knock on wood) but the video for daytime is good. My favorite thing about this dashcam is the size. The annoying thing about this dashcam (possibly others as I have not tested many) is the motion detection. Every time you shut the door it records / locks that clip. Although deleting the files is pretty easy.
I couldn't use it because the car charger didn't work. Contacted Vantrue, talked to them ones and... that was it. They did nothing so I returned it.Note: I'm not saying the dashcam is not good, or the quality is not good etc.
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.
