Pretty decent front and interior dash cam.Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019
I am an Uber driver and finally decided that I should have some type of camera to record what's going on in front of my vehicle. My car has a built-in backup camera (works only in reverse but that's good enough for me) so I wanted a camera with good front cam reviews and capabilities of inside-car video as well. I was concerned about having a camera taking up extra windshield real-estate. After purchasing a rear-view mirror-mounted camera that couldn't be mounted on my rear view mirror, I returned that camera and decided on the Vantrue N2.I was quite surprised at the size of the Vantrue N2 so the windshield real-estate issue turned out to be a non-issue. Because the camera is small, so is the LCD display; reviewing saved videos is possible but you are better off viewing videos on your tablet or PC for more detail.Daytime videos played back on my computer are quite clear, both inside and front cameras. Front camera nightime videos are bright to the point that streetlights, headlamps, etc., give off quite a glare (thinking I can play around with the settings to reduce/eliminate the glare on front night-time shots). Inside camera view is great during the day and reasonably OK at night. The IR LED's light up the interior but still leave a lot of shadows in the shot (inside settings can be tweaked as well to hopefully improve what the cam sees at night).Saved files are in .mp4 format; I am saving 3 minute files for front and back, each .mp4 file is around 271 MB. Doing the math, I can get between 9 and 10 hours of videos on a 128GB micro SD card (looking to get 256GB when I can).The manual was fairly easy to undertand, there were a few hiccups in translating to English from Chinese. I know what buttons need to be pushed when I'm in the car driving (stopped) to stop/restart record, turn the built-in mic on or off and turn the IR LEDs on, off or auto.Mounting was simple, the suction cup is working just fine although I suggest taking it down in very hot or very cold weather. The camera clips onto the suction cup mounting, the USB connection is through the suction cup mount and connects automatically when the camera is connected to the mount.General and record settings are pretty straightforward as well (if you read the manual).so far, I like this dash cam :)
