Vantrue - N4 Pro

I went with a vantrue 3-channel, feels like it covers all the basics I need for daily driving.

I've got the Vantrue N4 Pro installed with the hardwire kit. It's outside of your $150 budget but it's been great - I keep the cabin camera turned off.

Clarity is my top priority. My vantrue n4ps has solid night vision, and it once caught a plate in a parking garage after someone scraped my car, which made finding them easy.

I have vantrue in both my chargers. I have the N4 pro in my cat, and the N1 in my wife's plum. Both have survived the last couple years HOWEVER both of them are garage kept... Except at work both sit outside

I also use the Vantrue N4 Pro. As mentioned above, it has three cameras that provide great coverage. I drive a lot at night, and the interior camera does a great job capturing clear footage, also you can easily link it to the app via wifi, and exporting video is quick and hassle free.

Yup I just tucked it up in there. Power cord on one end that goes to the dashcam and a fuse dongle on the other that plugs directly into the fuse box. Yup it's a good thing to have.

Haven't had anyone throw up in my car (thankfully), but I did have a drunk passenger pass out and refuse to get out once. Luckily his friend was with him and ended up dragging him out of the car. If your budget allows, I'd definitely say go for the upgrade. I'm using the Vantrue N4 Pro right now - it has an interior cam and the front cam has a screen that shows live footage. I actually mounted it in a spot that's pretty noticeable, and ever since then, passengers have been weirdly polite.

I have the vantrue n4 with gps. Bought the dongle so I wired it into my fuse box. All wires hidden. Records when people wall up to the car. Has a forward facing/inward facing and a usb ran to the rear for the 3rd camera.

I've got a Vantrue N4 3 channel. So I ran the back cabling under the headliner and the front cable runs down the right side a Pilar, through the glove box and then down into the lower unit tray under the climate controls. It's very sleek and apart from the couple wires that come out of the dash cam unit, you can't see them. Assuming the unit wires are not crazy thick, you can pull back the trim enough to squeeze the wire in without pulling anything off.

I drove Uber last year. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. You could probably make more walking dogs, like thirty to forty bucks a walk. I used a Vantrue N4 Pro back then. It's in my dad car now.

I'm in Phoenix and have a VanTrue N4. I've only had it a few months so I haven't been able to torture it yet but the main reason I got it (besides that I got a really good deal on it lol) was because it doesn't have a battery but uses a capacitor instead. A model with a capacitor is a must for extreme heat from what I've read.

Consider getting at least a 3 channel dash cam, like the Vantrue N4 Pro. It has an interior camera that can capture both inside the car and the side windows, which help cover the sides of your vehicle. 2 channel setup could work, but it usually only covers the front and rear, so if someone approaches from the side, it likely won't catch it.

Vantrue n4 pro + hardwiring kit

I went with a vantrue. NP4 pro. But, there's newer ones . I have a polarized lens and the "remote" button.

I love my vantrue n4 pro. Relatively small foot print for both the cameras. Relatively easy to download/format the card from the app. There's a learning curve, most of the settings are from the phone, but some fine tuning is required to do on the front camera. Can read a liscene plate at about 40 feet, daytime front camera.

I use the Vantrue N4 Pro. Love it! I drive a Tesla, but like the crispy 4k quality of the road and 2k inside the cabin. I haven't installed the third camera yet but it's great to have audio inside the cabin, and the crispy road footage as a backup in case some shenanigans happens. Definitely recommend that one. I also backup every day to Google Drive also on a rotating quarterly basis. I then offload the footage to my hard drives for safekeeping at the end of every month.

I have Vantrue N4's in both of my cars. I might as well live on the surface of the sun (Phoenix area) and after a few months of blazing temperatures, they are both still working without issue. I also saw some negative reviews for Vantrue when people discussed dash cams in general but whenever someone mentioned needing one for an Uber driver, Vantrue always seemed to be a top recommendation. Not sure if it's because Uber drivers need to have the interior camera and maybe your average person doesn't want it? (It can be disabled but I prefer it since it helps to provide a view of the sides of the car.) TBH, I was hesitant when I bought mine, but I also bought them at a deep discount from an auction so I saw little risk involved. I did read the manual and saw the warnings about memory card compatibility so I did buy the best one that I could and haven't had any issue. If price was equal I probably would have bought a Viofo since that's what most recommend but if the Viofo is $300 and mine was $75, I'm buying the Vantrue again no doubt.

My Vantru was 3 years old when the Texas sun took it out.

I have a Vantrue N4pro and Viofo A229. Genuinely this post is so great to create visibility to the general audience of how useful a dashcam really is. I hope it goes to someone who really needs it. A dashcam is truly a need with how driving has gotten.

Phoenix here... I got a good deal on a Vantrue N4 so I went with it. So far, so good after a few months. They sell a heavy duty adhesive based mount for like $6 if the suction cup mount fails. The main selling point for me was that it uses a capacitor instead of a battery. That is supposed to be crucial for high heat areas. There are other models that have capacitors so that is where I would start the search.

I drive for Uber too and use the Vantrue N4 Pro, I love it. The front cam is 4K, and the interior cam is 2K, which is perfect for rideshare. It's a bit pricey, but it goes on sale pretty often.

I've got a Vantrue 3 channel and it's been good for the year I've owned it. Only pitfall with my model is I need to unplug/remove the SD card to backup the footage. Plus models seem to have wifi capability.

So I'll be completely honest with you, we had some roof work done, and the body shop did it for us. Prior to, I did just tuck it between the headliner and the trim pieces and you couldn't tell other than around the B pillar. Also, this https://youtu.be/vIRIqoVUxSI?feature=shared

Blackvue, Viofo, and Thinkware are the "big 3" that are considered the best. If you are on a budget I would say Viofo. Great camera at a good price. The vantrue n4 pro is also a really good one as is anything Nextbase, although they can be pricey.

I have an N4 Pro in my 24 Prius Prime, had it for about a year now. And I can't say I've had any complaints out of it, seems to work just as intended, anytime I've needed video. I've gotten it And it's been good quality. The only thing I wish and this is pretty much the same across the entire market but, I just wished the Wi-Fi would use wider Wi-Fi channels so you could have faster data transfers. But I'll admit I'm being a little nitpicky with that one. And again, it's no different on most of the others.

I use a Vantrue N4 Pro with a hardwire kit. I've been satisfied with it.

Sold my 4Runner, now have a Sierra AT4 pickup. I got the Vantrue N4 Pro. 4K front / 1080P rear / 1080P cabin. I got the add-on kit that power line runs to the OBD instead of hard wiring.

I park in busy lots all the time, so I totally get your worries. I use the Vantrue N4PS, and its parking mode works great. It kicks in fast when something happens, really handy

The title might spark some debate (just joking), but I've been using the Vantrue N4 Pro for a while now. It's a 3 ch dash cam with a small screen, and so far, it's still working great.

1) Viofo A129 Pro 2) 70mai A800 SE 3) Vantrue N4 Pro 4) Qubo Hero Pro I have these 4 in my cars. My favorite app to use is Qubo, it's very user friendly and it's a breeze to set up and get it running. My favorite image quality is Vantrue, it's pristine and read things super clear, day and night. My best VFM has to be 70mai tho because the Vantrue is nice but pricey and 70mai does 90% of the stuff for a fraction of the cost. Hope this helps ☺️ Edit: I would also suggest getting front and back. It's more peace of mind. You'll have more evidence and more angles covered.

I think I can say most cameras, even if they have Wi-Fi, still can be controlled and used completely "locally". For instance my Vantrue N4 Pro has every setting locally And can be completely used without Wi-Fi, but for instance, if you're trying to get video off, you could use the app and Wi-Fi to make it easier. So I would not necessarily discount Wi-Fi dashcams just because they are not going to use Wi-Fi/App
