Vantrue N4 Pro 4K 3 Channel Dash Cam, STARVIS 2 IMX678 x PlatePix™ x HDR Night Vision, 4K+1080P+1080P Front Inside and Rear Dash Camera, Voice Control, WiFi, GPS, 24H Parking Mode, Support 512GB Max

Like many of you I have long thought about getting a dashcam to protect my family and I as we drive. So after doing way too much research and reading reviews I settled on the N4 Pro. There's lots of options out there and I felt that the Vantrue camera was a solid choice.I like the fact that the three cameras were all available in high resolution and have excellent night vision as well. The cabling is easy enough to hide with a little effort - but don't let that deter you. The end result is well worth the effort to have a clean install.The camera attaches really securely to the windshield with a super strong 3m adhesive backing. No suction cups that a lot of cheaper cameras give you. The 3m adhesive ensures that the camera ain't going anywhere under any circumstance. Same with the rear camera that you attached to your rear window.I love the additional capability of using a hard-wire always option (it is sold separately) as opposed to the cigarette adapter. I purchased this hard-wire module and have zero regrets. It ensures that the camera is always recording - even in a low-bitrate mode when parking for extended periods. And no dangling cables going down to the center console for power.My favorite thing about the camera system is the ability to use the smartphone app for monitoring and replay - especially in the case of an accident. You may need to be able to show the police what happened at the scene of the accident, and with a smartphone app connected to your dashcam you'll have that ability. As opposed to having to retrieve the microSD card, take it home, get the video off of it, email it.... you get the idea. Having the app ensures that I have the video data always available at a moment's notice. This type of additional assurance is priceless.Some things to note when you get the cam - go through the settings and make sure you've configured it the way you want it. You can't adjust settings while the vehicle is in motion. So drive with it to get a feel for how it operates and then park and make adjustments. For me, the roads where I live are pretty terrible in most places so I found that every pothole and bump triggered the cam to take a picture because of the vibration. I reduced the sensitivity setting so that it doesn't trigger for each pothole and bump.Also, I changed the app/camera connection timeout to 'never' essentially making sure the app is always connected to the camera when the vehicle is on. I found the default setting of '10 minutes' was annoying because you would have to reconnect the app periodically, which is super distracting and dangerous to do while driving.So yea, once you get some initial settings tweaked to your liking this camera system is super solid.I've seen some reports of overheating - I can't confirm that because I installed it this winter and I haven't noticed any overheating at this point. We'll see if that changes this summer, but like anything that is attached to your windshield, it wouldn't surprise me if it got pretty hot in the sun.tl;dr - great cam, easy to use and install, perfect for your first dashcam. buy with confidence!

This is my 4th Vantrue dashcam so I am very familiar with this brand. I’ve been using the N2 Pro for several years but needed another one and Vantrue has been fairly reliable compared to other brands I’ve bought. I will say first of all that their customer service is definitely better than most other companies so that is one reason why I like this brand. They tend to stand by the product (even after the supposed warranty period). So take this into account when buying a dashcam, especially if you are paying several hundreds of $. Vantrue actually responds fairly quickly to any issues with their dashcams (I’ve had 2 small matters come up over the past 4-5 years only).So after looking around I opted for this newer Nexus Pro 3 channel dashcam. The suction mount is very similar to my N2 Pro and when it is really hot, it falls off. I have had to gently re-wet the suction mount a few times already and have done it a number of times with my N2 Pro. But for the most part it suctions all right. Again, it’s only when it is scorching hot outside that the suction tends to unmount. It does not happen all that often. Installation is very easy with 3M tape for mounting, no problems. The video quality is very good! If you want the 4K you’ll need to run the front cam by itself but even doing the 1440 is totally fine. The videos are MP4 format so that is handy and easy and “events” get stored in a separate folder to locate easily. All cameras have good quality (the front is the best of course). The mic quality is outstanding and the LCD screen is fairly large for something like this.This dash cam does have wifi access but honestly I have found wireless access a chore and slow. I prefer to use the microSD card anyway and just view files or events on my laptop with the card. It’s just faster and you don’t have to deal with laggy processing. As for GPS tracking I have not used that function but it is built in if you want to use that. I am suspicious of using GPS though because it does track your speed [hahaha]. Also if you want to have a more permanent parking mode you will want to buy a hardwire kit or use a kind of portable power bank. These things only cost about $15 these days so it isn’t bad at all.Overall I give this N4 Pro 3 channel dashcam 5 stars because the company is very good and the quality of the cameras is excellent and for the ease of use. Going through all the settings is intuitive and easy and you can have this thing setup in no time and on the road. It’s a really good dashcam overall and you can’t beat 3 channels (3 cameras). I give it 5 stars for build quality, performance, and customer support. Yes it costs a little more but it’s worth it. Highly recommended!

This camera is easy to setup in virtually any type of car/truck. It has a very sturdy build. It feels solid and I like the size. It is about the same size as my rear view mirror. It takes amazing 4k videos. This model has the PlatePix feature that uses AI to make the cars license plates easier to read in case you need it for evidence.The install of the main unit was trivial just stuck it on the window and hide the wire behind the interior panels using the included tool. For the rear camera you need to run a wire from the main unit to the back window so I recommend dropping the headliner and running it under there. Trust me its much easier than you think. Just watch a few videos online to build your confidence.My reason for spending so much on this camera is because Im an independent contractor for the big blue retail and grocery store. Im a delivery driver and Im a business owner, my car is my place of work, my livelihood. I need to have the assurance that my dash cam is catching everything around me. That means a clear video, the license plates of the cards around me, any and all audio captured, The speed I am going, and how my exacted location tracked in real time and synced to the video.With the micro sd card so easy to remove i could just pop it out and pop it into my cpu for a quick download. With dual band wifi, over the air video downloads and firmware upgrades are super quick.The only downside is the price. I know, you get what you pay for, and it totally is worth every penny.
