Vantrue - E2

Have a Vantrue E2. Been very happy with it. 

I have a Vantrue E2 that I moved from my 2013 Subaru to a 2025 Hyundai. One of the reasons I chose the Vantrue is that they have the option to connect via the OBD port rather than hardwiring to the fuse box. It has a voltage cutoff switch you can set to shut the camera down if the battery voltage drops below a set point. I've had it for maybe 3 years and have been pleased with it.

I ended up with a Vantrue E2 and couldn't be happier with my decision 4 months later. I really love the little button that I put next to the steering wheel to push when something happens and it puts that video in a special folder.

Vantrue is a good one. Their front and backs are a bir expensive, but hey, they work i got one of their cheaper ones ($85) but u do need to order a few more things with it, like a micro SD card (depending on size I spent $20 on a 256gb) and u can get a hardware kit that you have to plug into your fuze box and it let's you do a parking feature so if your car gets hit or someone walks infront of a camera it will record for a minute and then stop, it also has a power protection function to keep the camera from killing the battery of your car to the point u can't start it, This is one of their front and rear ones its on sale right now https://a.co/d/8vP9Zcl And you know u can trust a company when a popular, well-known youtube mechanic recommends it (Chris-fix recommends this brand and even did a video on installing them i watched his video with little to no knowledge on how to install it and got it done in under a hour)

I’ve got a Vantrue E2 (front & rear). If you have an accessible OBD port then use a wiring kit that utilises it. This essentially lets you have the features of hard wiring but from a plug, then it’s much easier to wire yourself. I’ve only ever wired my own in (inc hardwiring previously) and would recommend anyone to give it a try, it’s mostly about hiding the wires into door seals etc

I have a Vantrue E2 (front and rear) in my 2015 Highlander and E1 (front only) in my 2018 CRV. I’ve had them for about 2 years now and have had no issues. Great video quality. Would definitely recommend front and rear coverage. The Highlander was hit from behind and the other drivers insurance company was trying to blame me. I sent the insurance rep a video of the accident while we were on the phone and she then saw things my way haha. Easy to install, took about 30 minutes.

I have a VanTrue E2 in my Highlander - front and rear coverage. It’s about a year old, I reformat it every few months, via app on my phone. Great clarity and the 3M sticky that hold the camera to the front and back windows has held up well. We also have the E1 in our other car, works great too. The install took about 20 minutes and we were able to hide all of the wires. Wire pops out of passenger side leg area underneath radio.

Thanks for the tip! It's been on my to-do list forever and I just ordered 2 [front and back](https://www.amazon.ca/Vantrue-E2-Control-Buffered-Detection/dp/B0BD584W5Y/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.lcK2_JqYeepRCqvf6lvmDllwOk1eWF4tdUzXpvI9ZnhHa3d367fR5Hos6mGtFvL2jzyHBsZpyNKvSI8MX2lxi_MFtXo34HBpLqRbo4RXoyfWDyqgJCRd_aCwfB8kXb7Cc7hdwd6lnhUQOWBR6nrDWLCQmukPPsQAYO2VDPUQkju7h8c3uDtqjQlFHWgxuBDUr9Uc5V8Gk_UamPBwgDqp7Ul9LEByRipc3F1a10lZsXQ39nzhUsxyXJdL_RJ1qUEryNFqgTp79fByP6vPx1lkP0ANY_i6CJUzuzuv6MDqe44.r9dTGjv5gvuldJPE7kKtvKPdiYZhGM_-5jpPHUnDiqs&dib_tag=se&hvadid=208253734008&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9192546&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=8207271286570296682&hvtargid=kwd-301015745903&hydadcr=4517_9156524&keywords=vantrue&qid=1735257651&sr=8-2-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1) models so we can have one on each vehicle.

I’ve bought multiple VioFo and VanTrue. We have the VioFo A229 Pro in both cars and a VanTrue E2 in another. Don’t buy a Pruveeo

I age a CRV, I use the VanTrue E2. Very reliable camera. My wife has the VioFo a229 pro which is discreet and works well. The fitcamx wasn’t hard to install in my neighbours civic but it’s only front facing.

The VanTrue E2 is my favourite but my wife likes her VioFo A229 Pro.

I like and recommend the Vantrue E2. This isn’t a time to cheap out.

I have a 2 channel Vantrue I’ve been using for about a month now. No issues and so far it’s done what it’s suppose to. Very easy to use.

Most dashcams with “GPS” feature show speed. [Vantrue has some good 2 channel and 3 channel cams](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/s/65SdNGK6Jc) tried and tested. Same with VIOFO, Garmin, and blackvue. Stay away from Pruveeo.

Vantrue or VIOFO. They both use the Sony Starvis image sensor and have great quality. The cameras are pretty set and forget if you opt for the hardwire kit. It will turn on and off with the car and start recording as soon as it starts up. The included power adapter does the same thing if your power port in your car turns off with the ignition.

I have a vantrue that captures front and cabin. I got it when i was driving my Crosstrek and could see my dogs in the back and it could see out the rear window. I really didn’t want to wire a rear one, not as straight forward as the windshield. Anyway, it’s 2k front and rear or 4k front only and has captured a lot of cool shit. Accidents, wildlife trying to commit suicide and it’s kinda fun to check footage after some spirited driving. I got my daughter the newer model that connects via WiFi and she loves it.

Front/rear facing Van True dash cam is what I used driving Uber on our ‘21 Sienna. Added one lookin out the back after being tailgated by a Peterbilt on I-80 in Pennsylvania. All I could see was chrome in the rear view mirror at 75mph. Easy enough to install and hide power supply cables. (Picture resolution roughly the equivalent of an iPhone 11)

Vantru and Blackvue are highly rated. I have one in one one of my cars but not the other.
