Awesome Dash Cam - Love Having ItReviewed in the United States on May 22, 2019
I've always been on the fence with dash cams. I don't have a long daily commute or consider myself much of a driver. There have been several occasions, probably two or three times in the last year that I've wished I had some video from. Two near accidents and one mountain lion crossing the road.After researching units, I finally decided on the N2 Pro. I wanted something with at least 1080 and that would be easily added to my Highlander. The standard USB port on the cam allowed me to use an extended USB cable and run it through some paneling. It now auto powers on it the vehicle and doesnt have an ugly cord hanging.Grabbing the videos from the unit couldn't be easier. They immediately open on my PC. Nothing worth having recorded has happened yet, but when it does, it will be easy to transfer and utilize (authorities or insurance).Now to the biggest feature that I thought I didn't need... the inside cam. I didn't think it would be useful, but it reminds me to keep my eyes on the road. The last thing I want is to be in a wreck only to show that I wasn't paying attention. Knowing that I'm on record helps keep me accountable more than I thought it would.I've now been using it for two weeks, I'm hooked. I'll be adding one to the wifes car too. Having video proof to be not at fault is worth the cost over and over.As for the small features it does well...Pros:Night vision (does really well in darkness. Dont even know how)Wide angle (even with it mounted on my left, it grabs the passenger.)Video format is standard.Quality is awesome. I use 1080 for inside/outside. I did test the 60fps which is insane for really getting detail.Responsive & fast to use.Mount has a charge port and is easy to position.Battery (although I dont use it much after running a cord. Guess it helps with park mode)LCD is cool. Didn't think it would be a must, but its a reminder that I'm on camera as the driver.Cons:Buttons are tiny, but still respond well.Mount feels a little cheap, but has not failed in the first 2 weeks. I don't imagine it lasting years on years though.The LCD could be a little larger.With those being said, they aren't enough to knock a star off. If I could give Vantrue some feedback, it would be to use some high quality plastic on the mount, similar to the unit.
