VANTRUE: High-end Dash Cam for Your Drive

5.0

Buy this camera if you want a great dual camera with great features and quality!Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

I'm not a picky consumer when it comes to fancy materials and features I'll likely never use. This camera is great and I won't call it a dash camera as it really should be up by the rear view mirror to make sure you get the best inside/rear view from the internal camera which is rear facing. The higher up mount allows me to see out my rear hatch easily, I'm debating on an actual rear camera as this seems okay for now.The packaging is quality! Which really surprised me as this product, like about 75% of all products, is made in China. The instructions say origin of manufacturer although I could not find this on the outer marketing packaging box anywhere. However, the manufacturer understands that just because it is made in China it does not have to come in a cheap box to save pennies. I, for one, do not mind paying more for better products even if they are from China, I want QUALITY. The packaging and instructions and included parts are made well, even though with cheap materials. You can tell quality control is strong with this company. The product through the instructions and packaging are QUALITY and Made In China! Something I speak highly of when I come across a strong product made in China. I must promote the understanding of quality!As far as the actual camera goes. It is higher quality than your standard $50-$80 dash cams on Amazon. I have two ~ $50 dash cameras from Amazon and the quality difference is like those fake Nintendo game cartridges compared to the real ones. Will both items do what they say? Yes, sort of. The materials are better, the plastics, the metals, etc... The quality is just higher with this camera V2 Pro Uber dual than those cheaper cameras, trust me. The build feels solid like it has the correct screw mounting locations and so on. The dust covers and rubberized plastics instead of hard form plastics, should hold up much longer and keep seals tighter. You can tell when development goes into products and the manufacturer did a good job. ( An after thought as I purchase the wiring kit, and the GPS add on mount. I wish there was an alternative clamp style mount that allowed for great clamping with no vibration and also for the GPS add on to remain. With that said let's hope the suction cup holds! Fingers crossed!)With that said the video and sound quality is excellent in my opinion for a dash style camera system. Will this present motion picture audio and video for playing later? Absolutely not. But, it does capture interior and exterior video in crisp clear images with no stuttering or shaking from what I could tell. Sound is beautifully captured inside and out for what seems to be up to about 25 feet outside a cracked open window of two neighbors talking normally outside their house on a quite morning as I drove by. With this in mind careful what you say on camera if you crash or anything as it will record your words so don't admit fault on camera if you didn't do anything wrong.The video sizes I am recording are 1920x1080 60fps (although it may really be 30fps) dual with interior 1920x1080 at 60fps (this is why I think it may be 30fps each front and interior total 60fps)The video file sizes of roughly 10 minutes of driving are 1.3 MB each in total. So about 20 minutes worth of HD video (front and back video at 10 minutes each) is total of 2.6 Mega Bytes, As far as I can tell that is a very reasonable file size for the quality of the video AND audio that is stored on the card. I have a 32GB card in the camera now from my older dash cams and this would take a while to cycle through the storage memory before wiping data.I have ordered a 256GB Samsung Evo Plus memory card from BEST BUY!!! I read the reviews on AMAZON for the recommended memory card and it says that there are tons of FAKES ON AMAZON for the storage sd cards. I bought from Best Buy and if you read the questions on this product review page the manufacturer of this actual dash cam says to NOT buy from Amazon as there are obvious fake memory cards being sold directly through Amazon. It's a shame as the Best buy card is about 8 bucks more expensive, but for it to be real is PRICELESS!Get this camera and a nice recommended sd micro card from Best Buy or likewise actual store and you are set to Uber Lyft or freakin drive across your country!!!
