Nice Upgrade from basic 1080p dashcamReviewed in the United States on October 15, 2019
We aren't Uber driving but figured if we were putting in a dash cam, we wanted it all... front & rear facing cameras, audio recording, GPS, etc and TheWirecutter steered us towards this Vantrue model. It supports up to 256gb micro SD which we are using as they're so inexpensive these days.The video gives a beautiful picture with 1080p or higher depending on how you set it up. Street signs, license plates, etc are pretty clear to read even at the standard 1080p... better if you disable the cabin video having the camera focus (pun intended) on the front camera only.Night vision is what sold us on the camera as others we've tried have been abysmal. Generally, the outside video remains color as there's adequate light and the interior switches to B&W due to absence of light. In both cases the video is very clear and nearly as legible as daylight recording.We setup in the car using a standard patch cable but supplemented with a power bank battery so the 24 hour motion sensor security is in place. (This allows us to use the security feature without risking the car battery draining if the vehicle sits for an extended period of time.) Since we have the max 256gb card, the cumulative video holds for a long amount of time before overwriting occurs.The add-on GPS mount, only about $21, allows the unit to collect additional data such as location and MPH speed. These are recorded on the dashboard section of the video where other information such as date/time is provided.One thing we'd like to see improved is the mount as the camera gets out of line when bumped. Normally this isn't a problem but sometimes the window sunshade hits in a manner that requires realignment. Fortunately, this is pretty easy as the cabin facing display on the camera shows a good perspective on what's being collected by the camera.
