When you need it, it works like a charm! (Story Included)Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2019
I have been putting off this review for a while as I have been trying to stress test the device before writing a review.Let me start off by saying I do recommend this dashcam for anyone that wants a quality camera despite it lacking the bells and whistles that some of the more expensive cameras have.Pros:Black (Blends in the scenery and isn't easily noticeable.)Play Back ScreenRemovable Storage (Purchased separately, required for operation.)Front and Back CameraNight VisionLoop RecordingEvent Recording (Protected from overwriting)Cons:Black (If driving during the day this device gets very warm and is hot to the touch.)Bad User Interface (Hard to learn right out of the box.)SD Card Issues (If the SD card isn't recording it doesn't tell you.)My main source of income is driving and so being protected while driving is of utmost importance to me. During my full-time job I transport medical supplies and so what happens outside of the car is important for that job and the ability to switch between front and back facing recording is extremely useful.My secondary source of income is driving for Uber and Lyft on weekends for fun and to meet new people. In a recent event, this camera delivered the service I bought it for with ease. I had passengers that were belligerent and yelling swear and racial slurs (for the whole 15-20 minute trip) in response to a situation that they had at the bar that I picked them up from. Turns out they had gotten into a fight at the bar and had laid their hands on people there. They said in detail what they did to the people they beat up. (i.e. punching them until they were bleeding, kicking them repeatedly while they were down, etc.) Next, they went on to say to each other that they were going to go back to the bar once they got home and drive (drunk) back to the bar to beat him up again. Meanwhile, my camera was recording everything the whole time. Upon dropping them off I called 911 and reported the scenario and everything that I heard. When the officers arrived I told them the story again and then provided them with my Vantrue Dash Cam and allowed them to view the video that it had captured during the entire ride. Although I don't know the outcome of this scenario if my purchase stopped a future battery then my money was well spent.Although situations like these are incredibly uncommon I was glad to have this camera working at its absolute best when I needed it.
