Excellent quality, form, and function.Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019
HI,I have only been using this for one day. Let me share a few things. My reason for purchasing this is to have a video and audio record of my rideshare experience to protect me and as evidence in case something bad happens. Having footage of bad drivers is also interesting. In that aspect, this camera seems to work far superior to anything I have seen or read about.The packaging is very well thought out. Elegant but not excessive. I only mention this because the cam is well protected and since you are buying one of the best dual dash cams... Ultimately I could care less about how it looks and am more into function.... However, it certainly adds a bit of flair and pride in the product and adds to the experience and image of the product. VERY well done Vantrue. I like it a lot. The manual is well thought out, is in color, and provides information on all functions. The average user should have no problems figuring things out, however some of the text is small, reading glasses required. Mount: I do like the twist lock feature of the suction cup windshield mount and the way it connects to the cam. Much better than my other two dashcams. I love the way the power connects to the suction cup mount rather than the cam. My first cam had a widespread issue where the power adapter port would separate from the motherboard enough to make it stop working frequently until total failure. Not this one. The only thing I do not like about it so far: The connector is a mini usb port rather than a microUSB port. Only because I have already wired a microUSB port to my rear view mirror area. I have purchased a Micro to mini converter which makes it slightly more bulky, but I do not have to rewire a new cable into the car and it is behind the rear view mirror. The mount is very stable, there is absolutely NO rattling... the video is smoother and the recording sound quality is EXCELLENT!Picture Quality: I have reviewed some of the footage from the first day, recording inside and outside the car. It did rain most of the day but the images during the day inside were phenomenal, as were the ones out side. (using dual camera mode, which is all I use.) The night pictures illuminated inside the car very well and you could see in the back seat... unlike the others.. even with IR. The outside pictures were very clear even at night.I have attached a night pic from the inside, with me blocked out and a late day video, but it was very dreary out. The recording had the sound removed and the snip spliced out... so the original was a little better. I will try to add better later, but so far this camera does an excellent job. Why the N2 Pro? The reason I chose this one was due to the reviews and images shown of the INSIDE camera at night. I had a Nucam, but it did not last and the inside pictures were not even close to clear at night.Motion Detection: I would like to rate the motion detection. I assume they are talking about the G sensors that automatically lock images so they do not get deleted... such as if you are hit or have to slam on the brakes. There are 4 settings including off and three sensitivities. There is also a parking protection mode. Perhaps I can experiment and bring back my findings here. I can tell you it works, as some images were locked. I had it on medium. I may set it to lower sensitivity. If things change, I will come back and revise the rating.This camera is smaller than I had anticipated, which is great because it blocks my vision less.There are quite a few other features including a video port, which do not concern me and they are listed. Nice if you need them or want them.Legal: I do have signs all over stating that I have camera surveillance in the car. Check your laws.Support: Register your dashcam, it is easy. I had to ask where the serial number is. They answered within two hours of sending in an email... late night. So far so good. Excellent in fact. I have not been influenced in any way to provide a good or bad review.While the shape of the camera is a little odd, it appears as though vantrue has really put a lot of though into it's design... and it really shows from the second you have it in your hand... it actually looks quite good too.Lastly: a 32GB card in dual dash mode seems to last about 3 hours before overwriting. That being said, I just purchased a 128 GB card that should afford me most of a 12 hour day. Do get a good one.
