Review from someone who's owned this camera for two plus yearsReviewed in the United States on April 24, 2020
So I have the Vantrue N2 Pro that is the version before this one. They don't sell the one that I have anymore. I thought I would go ahead and share my experience with others because I've had this camera for over 2 years.I drive for Uber/Lyft so having a camera that filmed out front of the vehicle and inside the cab was crucial. You just never know who you're going to pick up these days. The video quality is superior out in front of the vehicle and inside the cab as well. You can set this thing up to shoot just outside of the vehicle but why do that when you can film yourself singing to your favorite song.So I've had a couple of issues. I did remedy those issues, so I will share them in case someone else is having the same problem. Mine came with a non GPS mount. That means the mount that came with it did not push the GPS. I had to buy a separate mount for that. Personally I would offer this camera both ways, with that GPS mount or without. Once I got the GPS mount everything with the camera worked and it displays all the information at the bottom of the video for you.As far as options go, there are a lot of options that you can fiddle with inside the camera. You can set this for loop recording but I don't use that I've got a 256 MB card and I record my entire night of driving along with everywhere else that I drive. I keep all video on file for about 6 months and then I delete out about a month at a time.As far as the camera itself I can't say that I've really had any issues. It's worked fantastic for the past 2 years. As far as the GPS mount goes, that's another story. After getting my first GPS mount it quit working after about a month. I did some troubleshooting and I couldn't find a fix so I figured that the GPS mount just went bad. So I bought another one. About 3 months after that that one went bad as well. Well the odds of getting too bad GPS mounts to me, are kind of low. after digging a little deeper and doing more research I came across a forum of a guy that has a completely different dash cam with a GPS mount but the GPS was never working for him. Someone else suggested him moving it down the dash a little further away from any rear view mirror or electronics as it maybe getting interference. I did that and voila, GPS is working again. So near as I could tell I was getting some interference from my rearview mirror.The other issue I had was with the mount as well and that was with the knuckle. This thing tightens down but it does loosen up if it's too cold or too hot. That was my issue. At first I put a tiny piece of paper in there and that held pretty good for a while. then I put a little piece of a toothpick in there and that did the trick for about a year. The only reason I changed the mount out was because I found an upgraded mount online. So for anybody having an issue with that knuckle that might be a fix, either a small piece of paper, cardboard or a toothpick.I've been thinking about upgrading to this version of the camera but I'm not sure what the upgrade will bring me I haven't done any research into that yet. but for anybody thinking about buying this camera I'm very happy with this camera and I've used it for two plus years without fail.I've dropped it several times in the rocks and in the snow and it still works just fine.
