Vantrue - E3

I have the Vantrue E3, we bought it as soon as we receive our cx90.

It's good, don't have any bad things to tell for now, good enough for me.

My N5 kept falling off my windshield. I prefer the discontinued E3

Vantrue 3 channel. Would reccomemd you get something that is more wifi based -the subscription if thats even an option anymore

I went with a vantrue 3-channel, feels like it covers all the basics I need for daily driving.

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.

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.

My Vantru was 3 years old when the Texas sun took it out.

I think it may have been my fault. Wife got me a front windshield cover that opens like an umbrella, I forgot to take the camera down so it was cooked. The inside cam worked, the forward camera blanked out

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)

I have a Vantru dash cam. I do not recommend them at all. Get a Viofo instead.

They don't do well in hot climates and in the summer here it gets over 100 f. So one day the camera just died. I started a claim and they made me make all these videos trying to get it to work. Eventually they determined it needed to be replaced and sent a new one after they recieved the dead one. The replacement didn't work either. So I had to do the entire process again. Luckily the third camera was the charm. Now I take my camera with me inside so it doesn't bake in the heat.

There are a few bigger brands, tho you never heard of them probably. I have 2 vantru cameras in 2 cars. About $165 each. Work fine. 2 camera install for each ( front and back) get a memory card ( a heavy duty or their suggested one) This particular brand has a “capacitor battery” instead of standard battery… resists in-car heat better than a battery. They’re a good idea… my daughter was in an accident, … other I lady ran a stop sign, and luckily it was caught on a home security camera. Made it a slam dunk case… swore from that moment to put a camera in every car.

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

I have a Vantru in the semi that I’ve had since late 2020, it records 24/7/365, I just replaced the memory card, but it works perfectly.

Actually, I bought this in 2021, it’s forward facing only, it has NV, they don’t list it anymore
