This is all in all a quality product -- so far so good at least. From the smooth overnight shipping, to thoughtful packaging and user manuals presentation, and of course the product design and performance itself, I'm honestly impressed A to Z. It also comes with a plastic tool which you can use to pop out the SD card and tuck the wire out of sight in your car, that I think is going an extra mile and didn't go unnoticed. The suction cup, by the way, is as sturdy as a suction cup can be. You turn the tab to tighten as opposed to flipping, making it more durable and reliable.You do need to supply your own micro SD card which you, by the way, should insert before powering it up, lest you get an invalid SD card message when you format it. I use one with 128 GB but you can go up to 256 GB. Another tip is to make sure you remove the magnetic lens protector film, or you get blue tinted video like I did initially. The default resolution is 4K at 30 fps. No complaints about the video quality, it's all right on point. But I prefer 1080 at 60 fps as it's more smooth and practical for me. The screen display is pretty much the entire back area of the dashcam; therefore, it feels large. The 4 navigation buttons are ergonomically positioned, and the most important button, the emergency event save button, is unambiguously and intuitively placed at the top right where a camera shutter button normally is. I like that a lot.I also like the USB C connection to the device, so it's a snap to connect. Also 2 separate cords are provided, one for the car cigarette light and one for the USB A. It's very nice you have the option of connecting the power cord to the suction cup apparatus which in turn powers the dashcam. As a geek or sorts, I appreciate these design details. That being said, the range of movement for adjusting the camera angle is rather limited. But I suppose it's not an issue unless you have a lamborghini. I didn't try the parking mode as my car doesn't have constant power when the engine is off. I did play with the time lapse mode which may have a special use case outside of parking mode and I'll keep that up my sleeve.I did attempt to contact customer service / tech support just to get a feel. So there's an online form you fill out and you'll be contacted within 24 hours. In my case, it was within 10 hours via email. It's OK but I prefer if there's a live chat available.One negative so far is the Wifi for the app. The dashcam can host its own Wifi network so you can connect your smartphone to it to change settings and playback videos. Connectivity is flaky - it's been frustrating that sometimes the SSID shows up, sometimes not. But it's not one of my use cases anyway. I prefer to view and video on a big screen as opposed to on the dashcam or a smartphone. The price point is also on the high side, but that normally comes with quality. Overall, I feel confident to recommend this dashcam to my friends and family.
I was using the X4 dashcam for quite awhile and did not like the night capabilities of it since a majority of my driving was in the dark. The X4S completely solved these issues and more. The color accuracy is completely better, quality viewing distance increased, and a back camera was added. The ports were changed from a mini-USB to a standard USB-C which is in line with modern standards. The suction cup was strengthened a lot, I had issues with the X4 falling off the windshield if the car heated up too much while that has yet to happen with the X4S.The first two images provided are a comparison of the X4 at +1.0 exposure and the X4S at +0.0 exposure respectively. The quality is just completely different. The front camera has an improved sensor running at 8MP which can view details at a farther distance, shown in the third picture. The license has partial info blocked for obvious reasons. Lastly was have an image of the back camera, it runs at 2MP and is similar to other higher end dual dashcams.The only issue would be the app. The basic function of downloading the videos to your phone works perfectly but the app also acts as a remote for the dashcam when connected. This remote feature is very much in its early stages and I am sure it will improve for people that might want to use that feature. I personally only use the WiFi connection to download videos and have not had any issues with that.Overall I recommend this dashcam if it is within your price range, really happy with the improvements from Vantrue.
This is my second Vantrue Dash cam and it has been pretty good so far.It comes packaged very nicely. Most importantly, the super capacitor in this is essential. I am at a place where there is extreme heat and pretty bad cold and a battery left standing in the sun/cold would be killed within a season. The super capacitor is a must have in my opinion.The 4K is good for reading license plates that are a bit further away. 60 fps is arguably also useful, since you get more frames in, in case of a critical scenario. Maybe we can have 4K 60fps in the front and the back at some point in the future!The f/1.7 and f/2.0 lenses (front and back) are good fast lenses, especially for low light.The 3inch LCD is not touchscreen, which is perfect, because I suspect the touchscreen would eventually malfunction if left parked in extreme heat too long. Physical buttons for the win.The max memory supported says 256GB, which is plenty if you're using it to record unfortunate events but might not be enough for scenic drives. Perhaps 512GB might work despite the specified max. Has anyone tried it?I would also like to try this out on a motorcycle, perhaps I'll update the review if I get a chance to try itI'm going to take a 1500 mile road trip in the summer and should be able to put this camera through its paces in detail.Overall, it does the job and looks great!
Product impression: It does not look cheap. It’s well built and the outside feels like rubberized. I left it in a car through very hot summer and still no issue.
Very good resolution: See the photos. Both interior and exterior resolutions are good. Interior of my car is black leather and the person is wearing dark blue jacket but the camera still shows a good image. I redacted the face but details are pretty good. Vehicle license plate numbers can be read on 1080P (outside)/1080P(inside). The menu also offers a higher resolution but then it does not offer dual camera views.
Easy setup: Good suction cup/holder is very steady and not shaky. Well built, plug and play as the factory setting is already good for most users. Menu and buttons are simple and easy to understand. Good user interface.
Excellent/responsive customer: Customer support by email is very responsive and genuinely interested in resolving a customer’s concerns and issues. It generally takes 1 or 2 days to response but they do get back to you. They also don’t hesitate to offer exchange a defective dash cam under warranty after trouble shootings.
Optional GPS: Quick fix GPS antenna and enables speed of a vehicle stamps on video files.
Suggestion: Use good quality micro SD cards made for frequent write/delete like SanDisk High Endurance Video Monitoring. Check once in a while to make sure the files are not corrupted. Reformat every 1 or 2 weeks. Keep one extra SD card as backup. Throw away and get a new one if SD cards keep corrupted or turns on/off the dash cam. Also, always use OEM cable and charger. Connect USB directly to the dash cam rather than through the holder or GPS antenna if you are having any power issue. Update firmware only if necessary so that you know if the dash cam experiences some issues you can spot the issue.
