Very good Picture Quality, difficult to install.Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2021
This unit is NOT easy to install. If you are mechanically inclined and know your way around removing and reconnecting the panels in a vehicle then go for it. If not, pay a professional to install it. I payed a professional and even he had a little trouble with it. That being said, it is totally worth it once it's installed. The picture quality on all three cameras is excellent. It is easy to see license plates and other details when the files are opened up on a computer. The night vision (IR) inside the vehicle is very good. I use the 256GB U3 micro SD card. The manual says not to use Scandisk or Transcend SD cards, but that's total nonsense. I used both and they work just fine. So I chalk that up to a vendetta between the companies. I did notice however that if you format the disk on a computer it will not function properly in the dash cam, but if you format the disk in the dash cam it works just fine. You MUST format the disk or it won't work at all.The dash cam creates 3 separate files for each recorded interval. It records in 2, 3 or 5 minute intervals. So there is a file for each view during the time frame. The audio is primarily from inside of the vehicle but I noticed that it does pic up voices and various outside sounds if they are within 15 to 25 feet of the inside camera even with the windows up. I've read reviews that said the rear camera is designed for cars so it doesn't work well in SUVs. That isn't true at all. All of the cameras, including the rear camera, are adjustable. You just have to play with it until you find the angle that shows what you want to see.Vantrue only dropped the ball by not allowing the camera to sink directly to your cell phone. As it stands with this model all of the videos stay on the disk until you remove the disk and download them to another device. Why does this matter? It might not matter. However, suppose you get pulled over by a police officer and your camera shows evidence of the officers wrong doing towards you. The officer can simply take the memory card and you would have no proof that he did anything. The point of the dash cam is to have your own proof of whatever happens right? Not much use if it can be taken from you.Over all I give this one 4.8 stars. Rounded up to make it 5.
