Great dash camReviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019
I have owned the Vantrue N2 and the N2 pro and I found this model to be an upgrade to those. I like how it remains flushed to the windshield and it can record both front and back of the car. My favorite part is the mount; you can easily remove the dash cam off without the suction cup types I experienced with the other models. This solves the problem of the suction cup failing when there's an extreme temperature (hot/cold) difference in the car. Make sure when you stick the mount on the windshield, leave some space to dismount the dash cam as it slides upwards. Too bad the rear camera doesn't have this feature as it doesn't have a mount; you have to stick the camera straight onto the rear window. The back camera rotates 360 degrees adjustments so it can adjust to any angle your rear window has. There are set positions you can hear when you rotate it, as it clicks into position. A minor issue is there's no locking mechanism so initially as I open up my trunk, the wire will rotate the camera out of position. The problem is solved when I taped down the wire into one spot so it doesn't twist the camera into another adjustment slot.For the quality of the camera, it shoots pretty clear images. The 1080p for both camera option is good enough for me to see the general. If need to, the 2160p quality is optional but can only be used if you're doing the front camera only. At night, there is an issue of glare. The bright lights are captured and may interfere with what the camera captures. Sometimes it's hard to see license plates when the car is moving fast.The GPS function is great. The Vantrue software lets you simultaneous see both camera videos along with a map of where you are at during the capture. It tells you the speed you're traveling and I found it to be a very neat function. I have an issue with the mass storage option when connecting to my computer though. As I'm viewing/accessing the files on the camera, the camera would disconnect from the computer after a few minutes. I couldn't find a way to disable this feature in the settings.The device surface scratches very easily but that doesn't affect its functionalities. As I'm fumbling to plug in the cables into the slots, I notice the metal would scratch the surface coating. It also scratches easily when I used my nails too. The cables connecting the cameras and the power source is pretty long so you can run the wires on the side of the car. Technically the rear camera can be placed anywhere too so you can stick it to any surface and record the inside of the car or anywhere you desire. Overall the camera is pretty good.
