Great Optics & Resolution Day or NightReviewed in the United States on August 27, 2018
I was asked to review the new Vantrue N1 Pro dash cam as an owner of the dual cam N2 Pro. I’m not an Uber driver so capturing the goings on inside the car was more of a novelty than a necessity but I like the N2. It does its job in a discreet way and the quality of the images are excellent and the workmanship is very good. Some complaints are the location of the buttons on the bottom of the camera Housing another issue is the price. I paid $200 for the N2 Dual cam Pro not including a hardwire and GPS mount.Vantrue’s Latest N1 Pro is the latest and greatest from this manufacturer. If you want an almost Plug & Play dash cam that can be setup in 5 minutes or less, has one of the best Sony image sensors, a huge optical quality glass lens with a wide aperture to gather light in pitch black conditions, and 1920 x 1080p resolution for less than $75 bucks don’t waste your time looking further for your next (or first) dash cam. In bright daytime use the images are clear with no shaking and license plates are legible even from a fair distance. Even better, nighttime video and stills are so good you may have to dial down the exposure setting below factory default of 5, or you might get a bloom on street lamps and oncoming headlights like I did. Another feature I really like is the 160 degree field of view. Most dash cams in this price range will use plastic lenses, no name image sensors and have a FOV of 120 degrees or 150 degrees at most. The extra view can capture lane changers, bikers and other blind spot infringers other cams might miss until the damage is done.The suction cup mount is solid and does it’s job well. The daytime pic was taken with the included mount. The nighttime pic was taken with the optional GPS mount. As you can see, the exact location and speed is shown on the video in real time if you activate GPS on the setup menu. This could be either good or bad but I would rather have it than not. The microphone is also high quality and doesn’t pick up engine or ambient road noise. Again, the audio could come back to bite you in the @ss so it’s nice to be able to turn it on or off as you wish.The cam does loop recording in 2, 3 or 5 minutes snipets, but with a 256GB micro SD, the max card it takes, you can just turn off the loop function and not worry about documenting an entire cross country road trip.
