Look at the quality! A few preliminary points.Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
I'm been doing rideshare & food delivery driving 3 yrs and my trusty N2 Pro's battery is now shot so it was time to upgrade. Ive only had my new N4 a few days and havent installed it yet, but wanted to post a preliminary review about some key points I've discovered so far. First, watch the brief video showing how quickly the rear cam adjusts to widely-changing light amounts...its almost instant! This quick-adjust capability is important to me cause I do lots of driving at night and the increasing amount of other car drivers behind me with highbeams on, is bugging me more and more. I'm also replacing my standard non-dimming rear view mirror with a high tech one so with this plus the N4, I'm hoping the issues of overly-bright headlights behind me will disappear. The rear cam should work great through my 35% max-legal tint on the rear window. And for me and other 'commercial' drivers who rain-x their windows regularly, rain droplets and dust shouldnt hinder the rear view much at all. Once I install and have a video of its performance in the rain, I'll post & update this review. Second, note how much bigger the N4's screen is vs the N2 Pro's! Its about 2.5x bigger. I plan to mount my N4 up high so it'll be real close to my face. Thus I'm hoping I'll be able to use it as a 'general purpose' backup camera (though I know that since the the rear cam will be mounted on rear window, it wont be that useful for the dreaded 'blind reversing' out of a parking stall when next to a big SUV. I'd need a license plate-mounted backup camera with 180 degree field of view for this specific purpose) One amateurish mistake Vantrue made with the N2 Pro is they made its front-view lens protrude slightly from the unit, meaning one could eventually scratch the lens from putting it lens-downwards on the table or rattle around in the glovebox, lots. But the N4's lens is recessed enough that the circular housing functions as the typical lip to help protect the lens from this. (I know the pic doesnt show this difference all that well, sorry) Lastly, I've tested using my Samsung EVO Plus (top of the line) and EVO Select 256 micro SD cards a little, and they both seem to work just fine. The red EVO Plus was one of the most-commonly recommended SD cards to use in the N2 Pro as of a few yrs ago, so I'm sure there's tons of gig economy drivers like me who already have a bunch. When I've tested both types of cards extensively, I'll update my review. The Select model's about $10 cheaper so hopefully it'll suffice.
