Vantrue - N2 Series

I have the vantrue N2X dashcam for my 2015 Forester. I didn't hardwire it, I worked the 11ft power cord along the inside of the front passenger A-pillar and along the door jam and under the passenger side carpet and plugged it into the power outlet in the center console since I never used it anyway. I've only had it for only 3 months but I like it so far. Except it does randomly take pictures and idk why 😂

Not bad, I'm ordering one now. My dashcam is a venture n2 pro with a GPS mount but the cord is only 3feet. The 12v power outlet under the radio stopped working last year. I haven't found a cable long enough with a micro USB connection.

Vantrue N2 Pro with an odb2 power source.

I second vantrue. Just hardwired it today to the fuse box. Has Bluetooth download for videos.

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

I think it may have been my fault. Wife got me a front windshield cover that opens like an umbrella, I forgot to take the camera down so it was cooked. The inside cam worked, the forward camera blanked out

N2 was the model. Yes to NV in cabin and front view. Leaning towards replacing with VanTru but researching other brands at this time

Vantrue N2x with the inside camera off so front camera has max resolution. Also hooked up Dongar Pro adapter to pre installed wiring in the headliner. I have it setup to record 4 hours after parking instead of always but zero wiring it’s lovely

I use a Vantrue N2 Pro, but the N4s are out now. It's worked great for at least a year.

Link? Now that my dad no longer drives for Uber, a Viofo is in the list when his VanTrue N2 Pro(they call it the Uber model) dies. I have it installed wirh a Dongar adapter.

I've got the Vantrue model with an interior camera, the kind Uber drivers use. Tons of features, including night vision, and it's got wifi so you can transfer video to your phone to show the police.

Vantrue N2 front and in cabin, works fine, haven’t had to use it yet. I keep the car in the garage and only drive at night, besides taking kids to school and shopping trips, so idk what baking in the sun would do to it. Had this one for about a year now with no issues. Had some cheap Amazon one that did the same thing with shitty quality but good enough if I needed it for evidence in an accident, it lasted 3 years, I think I paid like $28 for it. It didn’t even die, just the crappy micro-USB port became loose as they all do over time and it would sporadically lose connection and cycle off and on. Edit to add I don’t buy anything with a micro-USB connection anymore for the same reason; I’ll pay extra to get a USB-C version. Screw Uber for making the latest Beacon crappier than the old circular window mount one; no battery, downgraded from USB-C to micro-USB, and non customizable colors etc. Capitalism at work I guess.

I have a Vantru in the semi that I’ve had since late 2020, it records 24/7/365, I just replaced the memory card, but it works perfectly.

I picked [this one](https://a.co/d/ciSKVIO) up specifically for my Miata so it could see behind me with the top down. My only annoyance is it’s a bit bigger than pictures show, but it’s great at night dos the job.

Vantrue N2 Pro. Any model that captures audio and video both ways is fine. You’ll need an SD card as well.

Vantru and Blackvue are highly rated. I have one in one one of my cars but not the other.

I have the Vantrue Pro N4 and I have had the N2 in the past. The N4 has a rear facing camera as well. Even if you dont do ride share the way people drive it helps prove without a doubt who was at fault.

I bought a Vantrue N2 and the biggest SD card it would hold off Amazon. This model does require a computer to download the video from the SD card. It sounds to me like you would prefer something with cloud storage that you could access from your phone. Your top of the line brands like Vantrue, Nexar, and BlackVue all have models with this feature. There are budget friendly options out there. Just read reviews and cross-check with YouTube to see if the model you are interested in has a review done by someone who has bought one. And once you buy one, you can have it professionally installed if you feel uneasy doing it yourself.

I've got a Vantrue N2X; admittedly I got a great deal on it ($130) But I did alot of research, and Vantrue seems to be a good reputable brand in this space. if I can I'll pull my SDcard later, upload a video. [https://www.amazon.com/Vantrue-STARVIS-Support-Parking-Control/dp/B0D9GRRXH5](https://www.amazon.com/Vantrue-STARVIS-Support-Parking-Control/dp/B0D9GRRXH5) Looks like theres a coupon for $40 off, from $199. The app kinda sucks, I won't lie, but for me I just pull the SDcard and plop it into a reader in my PC(s) if I need the files. and its totally fine. \*\*I should add, I was looking for something that did cabin recording AND front recording was my prerogative. Its hard(er) to find a decent one that does both for a reasonable price.

Actually, I bought this in 2021, it’s forward facing only, it has NV, they don’t list it anymore

I went with the Vantrue N2X. It has a forward facing and cabin camera. The cabin camera actually does a good job seeing out the side and back windows as well. Bought the power adapter from Trail Grid Pro and wired it up to my rear view mirror.

Vantrue n2x is good - it has front and interior rear facing cameras and runs off a capacitor. Do not get a dash camera with a lithium ion battery - their batteries will swell and become inoperable here in the summer heat.

I have a 2 channel Vantrue I’ve been using for about a month now. No issues and so far it’s done what it’s suppose to. Very easy to use.

No commercial links allowed, so go to vantrue dot com and search for Nexus 2X.

VanTrue N2 Pro. This is by far the best choice in my opinion.

101% yes. Vantrue N2 for budget or Vantrue N4+ for quality/features

I have a Vantrue Pro Dual hardwired in with the GPS mount and I love it. Warning with the 24 the fuse panel is buried passenger side behind the right side panel. You have to remove a few pieces of trim and the body clips are cheaply made as usual. Use removal tools and be careful. The next issue is the fuse panel is very small, not labeled and sealed water tight so you have to cut yourself a small path for the leads. Wires are completely hidden and the playback ia high def, and tracks my location / speed. You get what you pay for so remember that if you go cheap. With a big memory card this thing holds a ton of data. Has a switch to power down if its in park mode and the battery drops below a certain voltage. I bought one after I got hit by a car on my Harley in a hit and run, and then I ran accidents here in my area and found that a large majority are hit and run. Ive also had someone try to lie when I was T boned years and years ago.

I have a vantrue that captures front and cabin. I got it when i was driving my Crosstrek and could see my dogs in the back and it could see out the rear window. I really didn’t want to wire a rear one, not as straight forward as the windshield. Anyway, it’s 2k front and rear or 4k front only and has captured a lot of cool shit. Accidents, wildlife trying to commit suicide and it’s kinda fun to check footage after some spirited driving. I got my daughter the newer model that connects via WiFi and she loves it.

If you're thinking about getting a dash cam, I’d say go for one that’s easy to use and gives good video quality. Like, you don't want grainy footage, right? A couple of good options are the Vantrue N2 Pro and the Nextbase 522GW. The Vantrue N2 Pro is solid, especially if you want something with a front and rear camera—great for Uber or Lyft drivers too. The quality’s awesome, and it has night vision, which is super handy. On the other hand, the Nextbase 522GW is packed with cool tech like Alexa built-in and a touchscreen. Plus, it's got this neat Emergency SOS feature, just in case. For budget-friendly stuff, check out the Anker Roav Dash Cam—it’s simple, easy, and gets the job done without breaking the bank. Just make sure it has loop recording (so it overwrites old footage) and parking mode, so you're covered when the car’s off. Oh, and don’t forget to grab a good memory card too!

I have the vantrue N2. But I’m aiming for the N4 and a rear window cam

Amazon has dashcams available. You only need to clean the area of the window you apply the mount to, and run the cable from your outlet. I bought the "Vantrue N2X Dashcam" and it's awesome. It's got an app if you need to view things quickly and is pretty small. I like it anyhow....

Almost run off the road three times last month. Got the Vantrue with an interior camera. It's the kind a lot of Uber drivers use. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRRXH5?ref_=pe_123509780_1038749300_fed_asin_title

Spend the $ and get a Vantrue. N2X is on sale on Amazon for $150. It records front and interior. Or splurge and get an N5S, also on sale on Amazon for $300, records front rear and interior from 2 angles. If not those then do some research and find one you like. Don’t get the cheap Chinese ones. Also, get a decent sized memory card for it.

I like my vantru but idk about bifl

Vantrue or VIOFO. They both use the Sony Starvis image sensor and have great quality. The cameras are pretty set and forget if you opt for the hardwire kit. It will turn on and off with the car and start recording as soon as it starts up. The included power adapter does the same thing if your power port in your car turns off with the ignition.

I got the Vantrue N2X because my car has cameras recording the outside, but after a passenger jumped in front of my car on Christmas Eve (she wasn’t at the pick up spot and saw me leaving the area) and tried to get me deactivated, I decided I needed interior audio to prove what she did. Lyft obviously sided with me because you can see her run to get in front of my car, but if she hadn’t, I would have had no proof. It’s cheaper since it doesn’t have a rear camera, but still effective when it comes to false passenger claims.

This is perfect for ride sharing. It has a camera facing the the passengers if they act out or make a mess. The front camera is great for traffics purposes. All you do is buy a SD memory card, plug it to power and let it do its magic. When it runs out of space it will record over things. When you need footage you can use your phone and use the app to find the footage and send it to Lyft or Uber. I find it holds pretty well on the windshield and I’ve experienced 110 degree summer with it. If you still have issues with it. Just return it within the return window https://www.amazon.com/Vantrue-STARVIS-Support-Parking-Control/dp/B0D9GRRXH5/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.iXIRhIg1kUP7eFNxvKWhGvW2cPc-EUzHNQDkxLcgHDj7wnZ_wVdzuNzIcmhRkFufG4YwsT-MxcRCTP8-UR3CvfFu05I4_TStfi_vF2T_aHoKx9XATFEOvPcyno3g9oWb98s8nULmlAbECQf67QGwimLx81j2FAvniP4JL-MBEUAmR0Ktb7BethtCkA8w_F9wzgCdN_wLv31VcOPLopETHw.eaTIV7azAV98uD5zzpw1MYvUe-fjcQoJczEcl6ZKujg&dib_tag=se&keywords=Vantrue+nexus&qid=1756349852&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1

I second vantrue. Just hardwired it today to the fuse box. Has Bluetooth download for videos.

They don't do well in hot climates and in the summer here it gets over 100 f. So one day the camera just died. I started a claim and they made me make all these videos trying to get it to work. Eventually they determined it needed to be replaced and sent a new one after they recieved the dead one. The replacement didn't work either. So I had to do the entire process again. Luckily the third camera was the charm. Now I take my camera with me inside so it doesn't bake in the heat.

Mine is old; been using it for 4 yrs - Vantrue N2 Pro (front and cabin). I got footage when they broke into my car. I was lucky they left my tape deck and the Creedence

Most dashcams with “GPS” feature show speed. [Vantrue has some good 2 channel and 3 channel cams](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/s/65SdNGK6Jc) tried and tested. Same with VIOFO, Garmin, and blackvue. Stay away from Pruveeo.

There are a few bigger brands, tho you never heard of them probably. I have 2 vantru cameras in 2 cars. About $165 each. Work fine. 2 camera install for each ( front and back) get a memory card ( a heavy duty or their suggested one) This particular brand has a “capacitor battery” instead of standard battery… resists in-car heat better than a battery. They’re a good idea… my daughter was in an accident, … other I lady ran a stop sign, and luckily it was caught on a home security camera. Made it a slam dunk case… swore from that moment to put a camera in every car.

I have a Vantru dash cam. I do not recommend them at all. Get a Viofo instead.
