About this item
- [ SONY STARVIS 2 True 4K Triple Dash Cam ] Using the latest 2023 SONY STARVIS 2 IMX678 sensor, the N4 Pro's front camera supports up to 4K 3840*2160 resolution in all 1CH/2CH/3CH options. Delivering cinematic and smooth 4K image quality, it makes reading license plates a breeze, day or night. Monitor the front, interior and rear of your car simultaneously in 4K+1080P+1080P resolution, providing valuable evidence for insurance claims or disputes. It is perfect for family trips, Uber/Lyft drivers.
- [ 4K HDR SONY STARVIS 2 Super Night Vision ] Adopting SONY STARVIS 2 image sensor, which can provides better low-light performance and clarity compared with STARVIS, enabling the N4 PRO dash cam to record images of moving vehicles more accurately and quickly, without blurring or chromatic aberration. Combined with 4K HDR technology to help adjust over- or under-exposed areas for balance lighting in the image, this allows the N4 PRO dash cam to restore 4K details for the best night shots.
- [ 4K & 1080P Dual Channel Mode ] You can set it to 4K&1080P front and rear, or 4K&1080P front and inside dual channel mode according to your needs. The versatile rear camera can rotate 360° flexibly to help you record what's going on behind your car, or you can turn the camera to the trunk to monitor your luggage (for SUVs and pickup). The cabin camera with F1.8 aperture, plus 4 IR LEDs, makes it possible to record the passenger activity inside the car clearly even in total darkness.
- [OTA Firmware Update&Faster 5GHz Wi-Fi&GPS] Supports OTA firmware upgrades on app to improve performance and updated features. With always-on 5GHz Wi-Fi, you can more easily access videos and photos recorded on your phone through "Vantrue" App, and share your travel scenery and moments to your family and friends on social media. Built-in GPS allows you to view your driving route and location on the app, and speed stamp can embed in the video, which will provide additional evidence you may need.
- [ 4 Parking Modes for 24/7 Protection ] The upgraded buffered motion detection allows you to manually adjust the shooting area to avoid many trivial videos due to sky light changes or falling leaves, etc., saving SD card space. This 3 channel dash cam will save 10s before and 30s after the event once motion is detected, recording the full event. Monitor your car's safety 24/7 for peace of mind. To use parking mode, a hardwire kit (ASIN: B083XB8T7T, sold separately) is required.
- [ Reliable Features for Accident Recording ] When a collision is detected, the built-in axis G-sensor instantly locks and saves video, so you don't lose critical evidence you might need. Dual capacitors is used as the power source, which allows the triple dash camera to withstand extreme temperatures from -14°F to 158°F without affecting performance, thus preventing the risk of overheating and making it more durable. Support up to 512GB memory card, allowing you to save more driving memory.
- [ Hands-free Voice Control & Optional Anti-glare CPL ] Go hands-free with 12 voice commands such as: take photo, lock the video, turn on/off Wi-Fi, turn on/off screen, turn on/off audio, show the front/rear camera etc. It enables you to easily control your dash cam without taking your hands off the steering wheel for safe driving. The optional CPL (ASIN: B0B2VMYQBL) effectively reduces glare and reflections, allowing the N4 PRO to produce the optimal video quality even in hot sunny conditions.
- [ Easy to Install & 18-Month Warranty ] Equipped with a strong magnetic mount, easy to install and remove.

For product questions or technical support, please email our after-sales team and all emails will be answered within 24 hours.
ntro: Vantrue continues to impress.
I’ve used/tested a dozen or more dash cams, most of them from Vantrue. This review is based upon a few hours of installing and checking out how it operates. If I have a major change, will make an update to this review.
Photos: unopened box, camera mounted on front window (using cigarette plug) with intent to hard wire soon, and a low resolution snapshot of the screen (actual camera quality much higher).
Pros: First impressions are pretty good. The packaging and components (cords, camera, manual, etc) all feel solid and high quality. The box was complete, having everything that was supposed to come with it.
-Camera: overall first impressions are good, though a bit thicker than some of my other Vantrue cameras, the mounting system is low profile, which gives it an overall smaller footprint. Initial picture quality seems to rival the other top tier Vantrue cams.
-Mounting/Cables- the mounting on this camera is by a self adhesive sticker. In my application, I think this is an upgrade from the traditional suction cup, though I don’t intend to swap it around from car to car. I really like the new magnetic mounting clip (links the camera chassis to the mount), very easy on and off, doesn’t feel like I’m about to crack the mechanism as there are no moving parts. Cables are very solid, high quality feel (see cons also) and in my Honda CRV application are plenty long.
Wi-Fi: I got it up and running in under a few mins. Once linked, it worked solid. Really liked the opportunity to see the videos, and access the camera settings. Way better than punching the small buttons on the camera. Easily accomplished a firmware update (via the Wi-Fi; ie no memory card used or cables needed…nice).
-manual: the English version is well written and easy to understand.
-Vantrue: overall I’ve always had good luck with tech support, thus far I haven’t used them in this camera, but it’s an important pro for me and why I continue to use their products.
Cons: to set the stage, the cons are pretty light so far. I’d say these are more of nice to have or general observations.
Camera- on the camera settings itself, like setting up the date, Vantrue still hasn’t fixed the opposite direction of their buttons (user has to push the up button to go earlier in time, or the down button to go forward in time). To me this is backwards; it’s a minor annoyance, not at all a show stopper.
Mounting: package comes with a thin electrostatic plastic film that goes between the glass and the camera adhesive mount. Functionally it works fine. It’s a bit bigger than probably needed, I had trouble getting all the bubbles out, and though discussed in the manual, we did have to read the instructions several times to understand it’s use. Btw, I think it’s used to help keep the camera adhered to the window, and yet allow a user at some later date to uninstall the whole system without dealing with the difficulty of the adhesive being directly to the window glass.
Cables: listed as a pro because the cables really do seem high quality gear; as a con, they are slightly thick, making it a bit more interesting to route the rear camera cable. Almost afraid to list it as a con, I don’t want the quality to go down at all… I like the high quality gear… I just note routing is a bit more difficult.
Auto off: I’m not sure what it would take to incorporate a low voltage auto off feature or timer might be a huge engineering hurdle … Vantrue doesn’t seem to put this feature on their cameras … I use the Vantrue hard wire cable for this, not big of a deal since I need to hardwire anyway, but if it was organic to the camera itself, I think having it would be listed as a pro.
Conclusion: Im initially really liking this model. I think Vantrue has incorporated all of the best features into this camera. Is it perfect? Probably somewhat depends on the users needs. I like my old Vantrue cameras, but if this model continues to impress, I’ll probably upgrade my other 2 cars. This system hits pretty much all the items I’m interested in.

This review is for the Vantrue N4 Pro camera. If you want a quick one-line summary of this camera, here it is. The camera is EASY to set up, has GREAT picture and video quality, and is SIMPLE to use! If you are looking for a more in-depth review, keep reading.
The first thing I noticed when I opened the box is the cord lengths. There is plenty to get things routed so they are completely hidden from the interior. I used a metal fish wire to get between the car ceiling and the roof. The little plastic pry bar they provide helps poke the wire under the various rubber seals and plastic parts from the top of the windshield to where your power outlet is. Once the wires were run, it's a simple matter of cleaning the glass and attaching the cameras. Insert a memory card (not included), plug in the cords, aim the cameras, and you are good to go.
There's an app to download and connect to the camera, but I found very little that I wanted to change. The defaults seemed to be exactly what I wanted. You could also use the buttons on the camera itself to modify the settings. They are clearly marked and easy to find (the screen functions are placed directly over the button location). I wouldn't skip the app, though. You'll want it to grab saved videos.
As for capturing those events that are important to you, the auto capture seemed to work just fine. I didn't have an accident, but I did purposefully hit a larger bump to simulate one and it dutifully captured all camera footage. There was even an audible notification so you knew it grabbed things. There's also a big orange button that you can press to force a capture. Easy to find, easy to press. It's what I used when I wanted to mark recordings for later download. I didn't use the voice method only because I can never remember the trigger words.
Now that you have videos that you saved, you will want to get them, somehow. You could take the memory card out of the camera and transfer them via USB, but that's a lot of effort. The camera has built in wireless, even 5G! Remember that app? Here's where it really shines. You can connect to the camera and select which video you want, and it will transfer to your phone. It's even pretty quick, considering the size of the files that are made. These are HD quality, after all.
The quality is amazing! I've included two sets of four pictures. The first set of four is from the day, the second from night. There is a screen capture from the front camera, internal camera, and rear camera. I then used my phone to zoom in on the license plate of the car in front of me so you can see the quality. Frankly, I'm amazed you can read the plate on the car so easily given the distance involved.
PS - the pictures have been all chopped up to comply with Amazon's vague rules. Sorry. You'll just have to have faith that you can read things easily.

It was a quick install on my car. It took roughly 30 minutes and the usbc to the rear camera is more than enough to reach the rear windshield. I love the fact that every connector is usbc so I can adjust the cable at any angle. The video quality is awesome during the day and great at night. During the day, it can capture license plates easily but at night there are some instances where the license plate is undeterminable. It is also great that videos from every camera is stored on one single sd card. The app is great, it easy to use and is awesome in helping installing the camera. One thing I dislike is during the latest firmware update all my settings were lost, but it is only two specific settings so no big deal. I would recommend this dashcam to others. You are definitely getting what you paid for with image quality and features.

Included items are - Front camera, rear camera, 20 ft USB-C cable to connect front and rear camera, ~10 ft USB-C cable to connect the front camera to the cigarette lighter power adapter which has an additional USB-C port for charging other device as well, 3M stickers (couple of extra), pry tool, adhesive promoter, cleaning cloth, warning sticker (protected by Vanture dashcam)
Build Quality
* Excellent build quality
* Well packaged
Installation
* Straight forward installation with clear documentation. All you need to do is connect the front camera to the USB-C power, connect the front and rear camera via USB-C cable.
* Installation gets a bit tricky depending on the model of the vehicle and how you want to route and hide your cables. I installed it on a 2023 Sienna. It was easy to hide the front camera power cable by running it though the roof liner, bringing it down behind the a pillar and connecting to the power. However connecting the front and rear took a while since it has be routed through the roof liner all the way to the rear passing through the a, b & c pillars. At some places, it was difficult to pry the plastic cover and hide the cable behind. So the clean installation depends on the type of your vehicle. It took 2-3 hrs for me to install it clean without any cable visible outside.
Front Camera
* Not a touch screen. Its the only limitation that I see on this. However it makes sense as well since the display is pretty small and it would be hard to work with when you are driving. 4 buttons at the bottom does all the navigation/selection which would be easy with a bit of muscle memory in the long run.
Rear Camera
* Doesn't have any controls on it. Settings like rear video resolution etc., can be controlled via front camera or app itself
App
* The best part of this setup is the Vantrue app. Its pretty easy to pair the device with the android mobile app (instructions given in the paper manual was very clear and spot on).
* App provides easy access to all the settings. I felt its much easier to change the settings on the mobile app than the front camera buttons since you are working on a mobile device with touch screen.
* Settings are easily laid out and the app is easy to navigate between different views (single camera view or all 3 views in one). One thing which is missing is about the description of the settings. Most of them are self explanatory however having a small help description for each setting would be helpful
Video quality
* Video quality looks great both on the day time as well as the night time low light conditions
* Easy to read the license plate on the other cars (only on the 4k resolution). It gets a bit fuzzy on the 1080p resolution. Using a 256 Gig samsung pro endurance card so it shouldn't be a problem for me recording in 4K
Final thoughts
* Overall its a good purchase. Excellent build and video quality for the price with a good app to support. Will update the review after using it for a while. Have to try it out on different lighting conditions and also to see if it gets hot during the hot summer days.

I had been searching for a dashcam for a long time, and finally, I selected this one. This being my first dashcam, I am impressed with its video quality. I did face some difficulties with the mount installation initially, but eventually, I figured it out. The pros of this dashcam include excellent video quality, three channels, and clear readability of license plates in both front and rear footage. I disabled the interior-facing camera for privacy reasons. It's a great tool for recording daily drives, thanks to its superb video recording quality. However, a downside is the lack of a good mobile app.

I would like to begin the review by addressing the price. At first glance, the price seems to be a little high but after the $80 instant coupon is applied it brought it down into the great bargain category. The packaging was superb and all of the contents were clearly marked.I would recommend getting one of the hard wire kits, because who still plugs into a cigarette lighter/12-volt plug? I chose to buy the OBll wiring kit.
The packaging was superb and all of the contents were clearly marked. There is also a wiring diagram included. The kit comes with adhesive pads but I tend to use an aftermarket adhesive, as the weather gets hot here and I've found that some adhesive can't hang on too long in the heat. This is not to say the supplied adhesive is inferior, as I didn't use it.
I updated the software before beginning the installation. The updates went smoothly and were completed fast. I installed the front camera on the top passenger side of the windshield where it wouldn't draw any unwanted attention. I then ran the OBll connection to the camera and aimed it so it could take advantage of its maximum recording area. This was easy to accomplish with the app on my phone. I then ran the cable to the rear of my vehicle (easy to do if you are knowledgeable about your vehicle). I mounted the rear camera high and centered on the rear window. The entire installation took 20-30 minutes and was very simple.
I drove the car for a few days and nights testing the dashcam to see if the STRAVIS 2 lens was marketing hype or not. I download the video from the drives onto my computer and viewed it on a 32" monitor. The front camera does display in 4k and the other two channels display in 1080p, as stated in the description. The description lists HDR which it may be able to do when viewed on equipment that can process HDR. In all of the videos, the license plate numbers on the cars that were in front of me were easy to read. The entire fields of view were in focus and all objects were very distinguishable.
Overall, I rate this dashcam to be better than the Blackvue and Thinkware, I have in my other vehicles. Let's face it, the reason to install a dashcam is to capture clear pictures or videos of incidents, and this camera does a great job of that. I consider the camera to be a great bargain for what it offers and highly recommend it.

For the price, I wish this came with a rear camera attachment, as I've seen some dual camera sets for similar prices. However, I am not factoring the lack of one into my review.
PROs:
- Video Quality: I run mine at max resolution at 30fps, and the FPS trade off for resolution is WORTH IT. Get the higher quality video and don't worry about freeze framing anything.
- Flat cable: easy to hide and much easier to deal with than some very thick cylindrical cables Ive seen with other dash cams
- Suction cup: I will start by saying that it SOMETIMES falls during extremely hot weather. Out here in California summers, leaving your car parked in direct sunlight may cause this thing to fall. Its done it a handful of times, but not enough to be a real problem, and its never fallen off while driving. The reason Im willing to live with a few falls is because I like being able to move it around easily without dealing with sticky stuff on my windshield. It will NOT fall while driving.
- Lots of features like parking mode, motion detection, and plenty of options for filming loops and pictures.
- Wide angle sees your whole viewpoint as a driver
CONs: There are not many, but just my few grips with it
- Size: not the size of the camera itself, but the size of the mounting device makes this thing extend 5-6 inches off the windshield. Depending on your car, this can be pretty egregious in your viewpoint and I don't like that I can see so much of it (even though I hid it as much as I could behind my rear view mirror).
- Parking mode: I know I put this in the PROs and I did it because at least it has the feature. However, the biggest problem with this is that it doesn't do "reverse" recording. In other words, this camera will detect a jolt to your car or detect motion in front of your car, and THEN start recording about 3-4 seconds after it detects. What SHOULD happen is that it should always be recording on standby, and then do a revert of 5 seconds PRIOR to the jolt/motion that it detects. If someone rams your parked car and immediately runs away, this camera will NOT pick up anything, only the aftermath. So that's my biggest gripe with it.
- Inserting the microSD card can be a pain. Make sure you watch a youtube video to learn how to do it and be careful not to stick it in the wrong way. You can actually get your card stuck in the camera. Ive almost done it.
Otherwise, despite those really annoying gripes I have with it, the quality of the camera both day and night are fantastic. Despite it falling in the heat sometimes, I have yet to have any corrupt footage due to the heat. I use the Samsung 128gb endurance cards and they work perfectly. I give this a 4/5 for the quality of the video alone. But that -1 star could easily be -2 stars for all the reasons I mentioned.

Recently, I purchased the Vantrue N4 Pro that has completely transformed my driving experience, and I felt obliged to share my 5-star review with potential buyers.
The first feature that immensely impressed me is the built-in GPS. This feature is exceptionally accurate and dependable, consistently providing precision data of my vehicle's routes and speed. This geo-tracking aspect is instrumental when you need a comprehensive record of your travel journeys or for potential insurance need.
The dashcam also comes with an impressive voice control feature that's efficient and responsive. It allows me to command and control the dashcam hands-free, making it a safe companion on the road. Add to that the Wi-Fi sharing option - uploading, saving, and sharing clips have been a breeze. It's not just a dashcam but an intelligent device that elevates the convenience factor to a whole new level.
As for the recording quality, it's simply great. With clear video quality, every detail is captured to the finest, ensuring no moment goes unnoticed. The three-channel recording further enhances the user experience. It provides a comprehensive perspective, recording from the front, rear, and inside the car - ensuring you'll never miss any crucial detail, no matter the direction.
Finally, the handy app and the user-friendly menu have made navigating through the device extremely easy. Both are highly responsive, allowing quick adjustments and real-time views. And despite all the features it hosts, the dashcam never lags or freezes up - a testament to its well-optimized functionality.
To sum up, this three-channel dashcam perfectly integrates a multitude of advanced features such as built-in GPS, voice control, Wi-Fi sharing, and crisp three-channel recording, all of which are operated through a fast and responsive app. For anyone looking to invest in a reliable, high-quality dashcam to enhance their driving experience, look no further. This dashcam truly delivers- and then some.
In the photos I attached I've yet to route the rear camera properly as it requires removing trim off of my vehicle very carefully, but I've purchased the Vantrue branded hardwire kit and glare polarizing filter and they of great quality and necessary additions.

I've been watching a lot of dash cam videos on YouTube, these videos make my blood pressure spike. The amount of entitled and inconsiderate drivers made me worry about the rest of the family. After watching some grainy videos out there, I decided that I needed something that was at the very least 1080P so the license plates would, at least, be readable. Zeroed in on the Vantrue N4 because of the 3 cameras and the 4k and 1080p.
Ordered and received the dashcam the next day. Remember to order a micro sd memory card, I'm glad I buy them on sale before I actually need them.
Installing the dashcam was easy. The hardest part was hiding the wire going to the rear of the car. I also had to climb into the rear cargo area to mount the rear facing camera. This requires you to shut the hatch. Be sure to hang onto the car keys, if you have mischievous kids. Mine decided it would be funny to lock me in the rear and leave.
To interface with the camera, you have to download the Vantrue app in the app store. The reviews for the app weren't that good but I didn't have any trouble connecting to it on an iPhone 14. I drove around and after a few days checked the app. I didn't expect to find anything because I thought I had to trigger the recording. That wasn't the case. Everything was automatically done. We even captured a minor bicycle accident that we sent to the victim. All in all I'm happy with this camera. I find that with dashcams they're "good to have and not need rather than need and not have." I would totally get another N4 for my next car.

This feature is a lifesaver when it comes to insurance claims or providing evidence in case of an accident. You'll never have to worry about your word against someone else's again!
Now, let's talk about night vision. The Vantrue N4 Dash Cam truly shines in low-light conditions. With its Super Night Vision technology, it's like having night vision goggles for your car. I was amazed at how clear the footage was, even in the darkest of nights. And the HDR technology ensures that every detail is well-lit, no matter how challenging the lighting conditions are.
This dash cam also comes with some nifty features that make it a breeze to use. Motion detection is a real game-changer. It automatically starts recording whenever it detects movement, even if your car is parked. And the loop recording feature ensures that you never run out of space on your memory card. It cleverly overwrites the oldest footage, so you don't have to worry about constantly deleting files.

The dash cam arrived very quickly and the first thing you notice is the excellent packaging. Felt very high end and everything was packaged very well. This had me feeling good going into the install which was even better.
The instructions were very clear and easy to follow and I had both cameras installed and all wires hidden in under 30 min. I chose to place the camera unit behind the rear view mirror on the passenger side so that it does not obstruct my view. Even with it 90% hidden from view, I was able to still have the passenger facing camera view the entirety of the interior of the car. I did purchase the hardwire kit which added about another 30 minutes to the install, but that also came with everything I needed and that install was also very easy.
As for picture quality, so far so good. I was able to make out license plate numbers fairly easily both during the day and at night. I was going to add the lens filter, but don't think it needs it. The wifi makes checking the clips very easy and I have not had any connection issues. One nice feature is the automatic clip save. I had to stop short one time and I heard the camera automatically snap a pic and lock that clip so it does not get overwritten.
I have not had a need to look up anything in the parking mode yet, however, I have been able to access a few clips it captured. Just know that if you hardwire the camera, make sure to use an always on fuse so it still has power going to it.
Overall, I have been very pleased so far after a week of use. Luckily, I have not had a specific need for it yet, but I feel confident that it will work as expected if something does happen.

I recently purchased this 3 Channel Dash camera. It has a lot of useful features. All 3 cameras have excellent video quality, and very clear sound quality. All 3 cameras have a very good angle. The front camera can view a very large wide area in front. When I'm standing on a red light, I can see the front of the car that stands right next to me, same with the rear camera. The cable for the rear camera is very long, and easy to hide. The cabin camera also has a wide view, can see everyone in the car. The camera also has the ability to connect to an APP that you can download from the Google play store, and Apple app store. The app works great, and since the camera has a 5GHz WiFi capability, downloading videos to your phone takes less than a minute, even though the files are large. All 3 cameras record at 4K. I set my camera to record 3 minutes at a time. Also, when you connect your camera to your phone for live view, the video goes very smoothly without any lag. So far I really love and enjoy this camera. I have saved multiple videos for memories of places that I was driving at. There was a small issue, but not with the actual camera, but with the 3M tape that holds the camera on your windshield. I contacted Vantrue and they addressed the issue immediately, and sent me the new part without any problems. I wanted this particular brand a long time ago, and finally I got it. I'm very happy with it, and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT to anyone who wants a good quality dash camera.

After years of using a cheap "1080p" dashcam that could not make out a license plate I decided I wanted a higher quality dashcam with a rear cam option. I had put another Vantrue cam in my Moms van a few years back and she never had any trouble with it. Looking at various models I settled on the N4 pro because it checked all the boxes I was looking for. The instruction manual was very extensive not like the little pamphlets I'm used to getting but an actual book with clear instructions. Installation was a breeze. I did break from the manual a bit and install my front cam under my rear view mirror instead of next to it. This was a better fit for my install. The app setup was quick and painless and after a quick firmware update I was all set. I really like that I can change the recording method and disable the mic. I'm sure this will encourage better driving habits when my teenager borrows the car. I really like the ability to turn on gps and a speed tracking and have it stamped right into the video. My one con which is for dashcams in general is that I have to order the obd connector separately to power it. I wish there was an option to bundle your preferred connection type and leave the dc plug out all together. I have it plugged into the dc port while I wait for the obd connector to arrive.

This is the first time I have written a review on an item that I purchased via Amazon. I have always wanted a dash cam so after some research on the Vantrue products and decided on the Vantrue N4 Pro 3 Channel 4K WiFi Dash Cam. I wanted a dash cam that was easy to use/install and would give me all three views front, inside and rear with stunning picture quality and that's exactly what I got with this set up. It was clear that I needed to purchase a SD card and hardwire kit separately, and their website was helpful steering me to the right products I needed to complete the install. It took me about two hours to install as I am very particular on running the wires and hiding them properly for a clean look.
Pros:
1. Vantrue app is very user friendly
2. Computer site is also user friendly as well.
3. Wifi is a must ! Outstanding
4. Voice activation works incredibly well.
5. Manual easy to follow for a beginner in dash cams. Camera is user friendly.
6. The quick RED side button lock on the side to protect your video events from being looped over works well.
7. Get close enough you can easily read license plate tags.
8. Comes with GPS so no need to purchase extra GPS mounting bracket.
9. Stunning videos and pictures
10. I installed in my 2023 Tacoma, and it came with enough wire for the back facing camara.
Cons:
1. Wish list: would be nice to have touch screen but definitely not a showstopper.
In closing I highly recommend this product, as this is a must if you're in search of a dash cam. Works as advertised with no problems after a week of using.
I'm sorry if this is not professionally written but I wanted to help someone if you are on the fence about purchasing this product. Hope it helps.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 11, 2023 We do a lot of road trips and have needed to rely on the footage a couple of times which has more than paid for the cost of owning one. I have an earlier Vantrue model that I love so I didn't hesitate to upgrade to the N4 Pro when I saw it on Amazon. So glad I did as this is the best dashcam I have used to date.
What I really like about the Vantrue N4 Pro:
- Very easy to setup. The box includes a stiff clear plastic card that "sticks" to the window without adhesive, and the unit sticks to the card with adhesive. This allows me to easily move the unit between vehicles as needed without any mess on the glass. The unit is powered by USB C so I can use my phone charger in other vehicles to make moving the unit even easier. The unit easily disconnects from the magnetic GPS mount for safe storage when not in use. The fact that the GPS mount is included means your speed is also recorded along with location data.
- Very easy to use. The manual is 26 English pages and the menus system on the unit is very simple and intuitive. Simple enough to not even require the manual. When driving there is a large emergency record button on the end of the unit. The unit has collision detection so that important video is locked in the event of a crash. I can confirm this works as a pothole we hit set it off but the sensitivity can be adjusted.
- The description list the cameras as 4K HDR with Sony Starvis 2. Just know that translates to amazing picture quality. We had plenty of time through bright sun, heavy rains and night time hours, and the picture quality is top notch. See a couple a couple of recorded pics/clips in this review.
- The microSD card has a simple layout with the latest videos in Normal, and locked videos (crash detection or manually clicked) in the Event folder all named in an intuitive way based on date and time.
- There's a phone app that allows you to access the dashcam and view footage, so you don't need a card reader.
I have yet to explore Time Lapse recording further. I wish I had played with this for one of the travel segments we did.
There are a few other extras as well:
- In addition to the rear cam, there's an interior camera that records the full inside of the vehicle. I am sure someday I'll be glad this feature is there but for now we haven't needed it.
One other comment is this definitely is built for standard vehicles with slanted windshields. When we use it in our RV with a vertical windshield, we have to use a 3rd party mount.
I would definitely recommend this unit to anyone looking for a new or upgraded dashcam.

Since installing the Vantrue N4 Pro Dash Cam, I have found a newfound sense of security and convenience. Despite initial concerns over the installation process, I found it to be straightforward, with cables being long enough to be neatly installed in my car.
As a daily commuter, witnessing accidents on the road is not uncommon. Having the N4 Pro has greatly alleviated my concerns about being involved in one - I know that if an incident does occur, everything will be reliably documented.
Another feature I find incredibly valuable is the in-cabin camera and the built-in microphone. They provide an additional level of security, ensuring that any interactions if I'm ever pulled over are fully recorded. It's comforting to know that I can present clear evidence if necessary.
The bright, clear LCD displays all the necessary information, so I never worry whether the recording function is working while driving. All in all, the Vantrue N4 Pro Dash Cam has been a worthy investment for its robust features and the peace of mind it offers. I highly recommend it to other drivers.

I noticed a few people using a dash cam and for the last year I’ve wanted to get the right one. I’m glad I waited because this is the best dash cam.
For me, a good dash cam is one that provides excellent picture quality. I especially got this in case of hit-in-run situations when capturing the license plates are an absolute must. It three cameras with 4K quality for the front and 1080P for the cabin and rear, this actually exceeded my satisfaction. The picture quality was as good at night time as well. I’m also not so tech savvy, so I’m glad that the dash cam and the Ventrue app is user friendly and easy to connect to my phone and has impressive recording and voice control quality.
There are a lot of dash cams out there for cheaper, but I think getting the best camera for my hard earned bucks is better than buying something cheaper that doesn’t do the same job. I’m hoping to keep this for a long haul. This may be my first review on here, but I wanted to make an impact because it is a beneficial product for society.

I have been a loyal customer of Vantrue and the Vantrue N4 Pro 3 Channel 4K WiFi Dash Cam is my third camera from them. Just like their previous models, this dash cam has exceeded my expectations. Recently, I was involved in an accident where another driver claimed I was at fault due to speeding. Luckily, my Vantrue dash cam captured the incident and proved that I was driving within the speed limit. The video quality is outstanding, especially at night thanks to the STARVIS 2 IMX678 Night Vision technology. The triple camera setup provides comprehensive coverage of the front, inside, and rear of my vehicle. The voice control feature and GPS tracking add to the convenience and functionality of this dash cam. With 4K HDR and 24H parking mode, I feel confident knowing that my vehicle is protected at all times. The support for up to 512GB of storage is impressive as well. I highly recommend the Vantrue N4 Pro to anyone looking for a reliable and high-quality dash cam for their car.
Protip: I highly recommend using Samsung PRO Endurance series for their high read/write capability & reliability, which is what the dashcam does.

I have to say I'm very happy with dashcam. Picture quality is amazing. I had forgotten to take the film off the front camera and thought the picture looks good but it's off somehow. I finally took the film off and was blown away. You clearly see plates and people even without zooming. The 3 camera setup is like a bonus package. You can't loose focus on anything in and around your car.
Installation was a breeze. Instructions were easy to follow and you don't need to be an electrician to get it working right out of the box.
The camera has plenty of options and easy to follow menus. I also love that it can connect to your phone so no need to take the memory card out to download videos.

I really love my new dash cam! It has 360° coverage: front, inside & back of my vehicle. It was easy to setup & route the wires with the included tool. The adhesive mounts are nice and strong and won’t fall off. It has an app and it was easy to use. Not only can you change settings from the dash cam itself, you can change them in the app as well which makes it easy. The lcd screen is nice and big and easy to see and adjust settings. It has really good quality video and audio! You can even take time lapse footage if you go on road trips as well. You can speak to it and have it capture footage as well as other commands! I like that it can work when the vehicle is off if you wire to the fuse box. Also the dash cam is made of good quality and hopefully will last me a long time. I feel so much safer on the road knowing if anything happens I have one.

Throughout my use of the dash cam, which included using all three cameras throughout the day and at night as well as voice pickup, the dashcam performed well. Based on the cost, I'd give this dashcam five stars because it's such a great deal. Simple setup and clear instructions were provided. The nighttime image quality was decent, but the daytime image quality was excellent. It does include a brightness adjustment option, which is excellent at night. I'll admit that the picture quality is as excellent as my iPhone 14. This dash cam's image quality is more than enough for capturing what transpired and serving its intended purpose. I should also add that the microphone has excellent voice pickup (speaking was tried). Speaking is audible at top highway speed. Overall, a terrific dashcam choice and decent value.

I'm very pleased with the Vantrue N4 pro dashcam so far. It was easy to program and install, and I was glad to customize the settings (lower resolution video setting) so that I can keep weeks of footage before overwriting the earlier files since I travel often and won't always be able to backup the files. I'm sure I could find a solution with more storage space on my smartphone or an external drive, but this is most convenient for my usage. The wifi set up, Vantrue app synching and customizations were seamless and took less than 30 minutes to dial in just how I wanted them. Even with the lower res video setting, the images are still crystal clear and make me feel confident that I'll have good information if an accident ever occurs. The Vantrue smartphone app really made the setup easier than navigating the small camera screen with 4 tiny buttons.

I needed a replacement dash cam for my aging Blackvue camera and landed on either the newest version of the Blackvue or Vantrue N4 Pro. I had purchased a Vantrue N2 for my parents' vehicle and found the quality to be slightly better than my Blackvue at a much lower price. So given that, decided to give their higher end solution a try and have been pleasantly surprised. It was as easy to set up and hardwire into my vehicle. I was able to use the cable provided and ran it the same way I set up my previous camera. My SD card was transferable to the new camera. It's now been running for a few days with no issues and the quality is much better than my previous camera. I am able to view license plates numbers clearer and low light performance is better than previous. Overall given the cost and quality, Vantrue dash cam is a great buy.

Even better was that when I had some mounting issues due to the textured frit on my windshield, I tried to replace the adhesive with something similar, but it was not as thick as the one originally on the mount. I contacted Vantrue about ordering a replacement pad from them because I did not see it on the website. They responded and are shipping replacement pads for free. That is rare after-purchase support these and I greatly appreciate it.

Even at the highest resolution, the image quality is very poor. Road signs are unreadable, speed limit signs are unreadable, license plates are unreadable, etc…. Yes, I installed the latest firmware. Yes, I removed the protective film over the lense. Yes, I tried viewing with VLC media player and Dashcam Viewer as well as Vantrue’s viewing software. Also, I used Vantrue’s microSD card. Nothing but dazzling pixels which may cause siezures.
I purchased the GPS mount compatible with this dashcam and found out that Vantrue’s PC viewing software displays just a worm trail of where you have been. No maps to clearly show where you have been. Also, the display of the video is plagued with cloud-like large pixels. This “updated” software is from 6/2017. Why haven’t the issues with it been addressed yet?
Vantrue’s support gave lick and a promise answers, not real solutions or assistance.
Also, I notice a flaw in the lens. Either it is trapped dirt or a crack, which speaks to the lack of quality control.
I am returning this for a refund.

Fooled me twice, shame on me.
After my previous Vantrue dashcam died after less than two years of use, I decided to give it another chance. Unfortunately, this camera performs worse.
First of all it stopped recording all in a sudden after two months. No alerts, no notifications, even the camera's menu itself seems fine. I only got to know this when I review the files on the SD card, and found out the camera has stopped recording a few days before.
Second time happened about three months after. One day, I noticed the light on the camera stopped lighting up. I tried to wake up the screen but nothing worked. Turned out the camera may crashed or something. I had to unplug the power and then replug.
Third time happened today. Last night my car was involved in an incident and I need to review my recordings. And then I found out the camera has stopped recording about a month ago.
Lessons learned, I will never trust Vantrue brand ever again.
Edit: It just stopped working for a forth time... I am going to buy another camera now.

Does it's job. Great video quality, worth the money just in case something happens. Insurance companies aren't the most reliable, need to keep matters in your own hands from time to time.

Stunning quality! Love this dash cam! I recommend u buy a kit from Amazon to hang dash cam from rear-view mirror. It’s wonderful & easy. Best camera I’ve ever bought!

I was happy to get my new car cam, I very carefully opened the package and read the instructions. I inserted the SD card exactly per the instructions , double-checking twice to ensure I had oriented the SD card correctly per the manual. I did feel a little friction going in so I stopped, double checked again to make sure I was doing it right, and finished slowly and carefully inserting the SD card. After inserting the SD card and turning on the unit, the display showed NO SD card. I then reviewed the instructions again but to no avail. The damn thing ate my SD card, and it was impossible to remove. (the instructions say to remove SD card simply push on it and it will spring out but this did not work.) I have probably 20 other items around my house that use SD cards, (cameras, game cameras, security cams, mobile devises, tablets, music pods, etc.) And am very familiar with the use, insertion and removal of SD cards. So not sure why this didn't work, I'm assuming a manufacturing defect, but anyway it doesn't work and I am definitely not happy with the product.
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 24, 2020 This dashcam has unique sophisticated parking-mode “radar" detection. At night, the video is sharp and clear. Thanks to the 6 layer glass lens and F 1.4 large aperture. GPS is optional.

I've used several brands of dash cams over the past decade, most of them being 2 channel front and rear camera models, and in my opinion it is a must for any car owner. It has saved me from 2 different accidents, one was a hit-and-run that totaled my car worth about $16K at the time, and the other was a negligent elderly person slow rolling into my car at a red light causing $500+ worth of bumper damage. Needless to say, dash cams are my friend.
This is my first 3 channel, and boy am I impressed and excited to have this bad boy in my car. You can read a more in depth review below, but to sum it up it I feel it is one of the best dash cams on the market to protect you and your bank account, as well as your mental well being.
Upon receiving the product, the initial impressions is that this is a high quality product that is well engineered. The packaging was premium feel, and protected well with good documentation. First impressions with this type of product usually sets the theme as to what type of product you are actually getting.
Installation was of easy-average difficulty, more difficult for those that have never installed one with a rear facing camera. For this I recommend the plethora of Youtube videos out there. Although I've installed many rear facing cameras with wires extending all the way to the back, the plastic film with adhesion promoter was a first. I suppose in the long run it helps to keep the camera from falling off or shifting and easier relocation of the mounting point, but I couldn't get the film completely clear of any air bubbles even if I cleaned it quite well. There is also a slight haze that doesn't seem to go away after several weeks of installation. The cables were also quite thick compared to the other brands I've used, so it was more difficult to incorporate a clean install if hiding under panels is your goal.
Real world usage... the camera quality is very good. 4K up front and 1080P everywhere else is sufficient for most. Night vision is a hit or miss, as so many factors can contribute to a good or poor quality image as every dash cam I've ever used, but I have more faith in this N2 Pro than others. The quality could be even better if they included the polarization filter, but it is an industry standard that the lens is an add-on, but I ordered it as it is a must for only about $20 more. It fits like a glove, and I didn't need to rotate it but I assume I got lucky as results will vary.
The newest (to me) feature that I really enjoy is the Wi-Fi connectivity. You can view and download video clips. It is a bit wonky and needs some reliability tweaks, but I love this feature and trust that it will become refined as time passes.
One of the few issues I've noticed is that it trips the g-sensor and locks the video clip with an audible alert even while driving down a smooth road. I hope a future firmware will fix this because it will fill up unnecessary space on the memory card. It doesn't do this often, but often enough that it becomes annoying.

This dash cam works great. Operation is simple although I couldn't get voice controls to work. The app works flawlessly although you have the option to use it completely without the app. You can change settings on the app or on the cam itself if you don't want to use the app. I put a 256 micro sd as a 64 couldn't store all that much video on it. They give you the option to customize the quality of each of the cams to save sd storage
Install is really easy if you don't care how it looks, if you want a clean install with no wires hanging around, it'll take some time. I didn't hardware mine but I might in the future to utilize parking mode. I ran my wires through the columns and on top of the headliner so you can only see a little bit of wire right at the dashcam but otherwise the wires are completely hidden.
