Vantrue - E360

Depends on how decent you want. Realistically to prove who is at fault in an accident, just get the cheapest dashcam (edit: with a lot of reviews and high stars) with the features you want on Amazon, you don't even need a rear camera (only type of accident where it helps prove fault is some types of merging accidents). Features like GPS (to record speed), voice control, and WiFi app connection to download videos easily are all nice to have. Parking mode always requires hardwiring to your car so that's extra hassle but can be done by either connecting to fuse box of OBD2 port, just get the type of cable you need for that. If you want to capture license plates you basically need a camera with the Sony starvis 2 sensor, preferably the 4k version IMX 678 instead of 675. I'd recommend a VIOFO, Vantrue isn't bad either (don't get their E360 if you care about capturing detail, it sucks at that due to wide FOV and 2K sensor, but it's otherwise a cool product). Beware of cameras that have bad processing and can't take advantage of the sensor, as well as cameras that only use a good sensor on the front camera and not the rear. Some others like top end Blackvue and Thinkware cameras are also not bad with features like LTE capability or radar parking mode, but they get hella expensive and the video quality isn't really better. If you do ride share, get one with a cabin cam.

Check out vantrue e360 ace. It comes with motion detection and you can go to any car shops that installs stereo to install a hardwire kit so it continuously runs while your parked. It's 360 and no blind spots and has a rear camera turns on as soon as movement is detected within like 5 feet of your car just make sure to park it where there's less movement.

I got the vantrue e360 ace and got it hardwired with powercell 8 powerbank. I noticed without a powerbank and just hardwired through the cars battery it usually cuts off after a few hours. Got it professionally installed at a car stereo shop

Vantrue e360, peel and stick to windshield..... The dealership is the last place I would go to install a dashcam. Any car stereo, window tinting place can install dashcams, and hide the wires so it don't look like sht......

I use a vantrue N5 and E360, both are not under $100...they may have ones under $100.... There is a lens filter for some of their cameras that you would need to configure by rotating till you find the sweet spot otherwise there would be a glare from the sun or headlights. As for night driving lol, your lights reflect off the other car's plate when you review footage their plates are whited out.... Thus if you're not injured read out the plate, your dashcam will record your voice....that's if it doesn't fly off the mount....

I've been using an inexpensive one for months with my Vantrue E360, less than $16 currently (B0DJQWNZDW). The extra features are nice: switchable continuous power for parking mode or 20-minutes of power after car is shut off, and will turn dashcam on if car is vibrated. One issue is whether it fits in the OBD II plug with the cord coming out of the side, something OP should check if going this route.

I've had a Vantrue E360 for several months and it's had zero problems. It gets pretty hot here in the south and it gets pretty toasty sometimes on the dash. It's worked fine with a couple of Samsung memory cards (one a Pro Endurance).

I use a combination to give different features. A cheaper front and rear dashcam with a 10" front screen on the dash to serve as a backup camera, a 360-degree camera (Vantrue E360) to get everything, and a 4K front-only dashcam for a clearer front view for plates etc. and for nicer clips to post on YouTube. This way I've got three effective cameras in front, two views of the back, and a view out all the sides, with each specializing in different areas so one camera doesn't have to do it all (which would be very expensive). Only the E360 is hardwired with timelapse when parked, so it gets everything at all times (except at home, where the hardwire adapter has a switch to turn off after 20 minutes).

Vantrue e360. Great camera and is also an action cam if you want. If not vantrues other products have really good sensors

Yes, but with all of those you need a hardwire kit which is an extra couple bucks, en (and most cars) don't keep 12v power when off

It's on sale for 150 right now, comes with forward, cabin, and rear.

This camera X4S DUO was not that bad, but have glitches and all that, after 3 years I bought another one Vantrue E360 + LTE module, that was like $650 with installation (at Vantrue Authorized dealership at NY Auto City located in Queens) Camera from the beginning give me a hard time, didnt record all the time (I checked and everything was setup good), freezes all the time, and LTE module didn't work as it should (it is hardwire), I needed to turn it off and on every day, to be able to access it via LTE signal. Dealer replaced me the LTE Module, statting they have new updated batch with their own sim card that fixes everything. NOPE!!!! It even was worse, it was exactly as the old one except worked for 2 months (yes, I neededd too turn it off and on few times during this time) and LTE service they provided cost $9.99 for 2GB internet, after that you need to purchase additional 2GB internet. After 2 months everything stopped working, camera was freezing every time I was driving more than 30min. LTE module even after purchasing 2GB of internet, could not activated, contacted them and they say all should work, just turn it off and tunr it on back again, NOPE that didnt worked at all, just my extra trip to the car. I contacted Vantrue, they told me that, they cant do anything, as I purchased dascam from offline store, I explained them, that this is Vantrue Authorized dealer, they just try to tell me, contact them, they will solve the issue, NOPE they didn't, they told me to contact Vantrue with this. I emaild Vantrue again and they replay with that: I understand how you feel and want to help resolve the issue, but I’m sorry—since you made the purchase offline. This is our company policy, and we’re unable to make exceptions. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you for your understanding. AND I JUST LOST IT, THEY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THERE PRODUCT, AVOID THEM AT ALL COST!!!

I went with the rear and cabin cameras. My car has the VanTrue e360, my wife’s has the Wolfbox x5 . I’ve caught a few fun things on the rear camera.

Front facing only is better than none. I have a two-channel Vantrue - front and inside cabin. I got it because I also do a rideshare. What I noticed is that the inside view also picks up (although rudimentary) on the sides of the car and a bit of the back of the car. As for screen as distraction - you can set it up so it will turn of after some time (mine does after 30 seconds). I also installed mine to the right of the mirror so it is barely in my view at all (I have Honda Accord)

I got Vantrue because I wanted front/inside combination and for some reason Viofo/Blackvue don't offer the exact setup like this. Usually it's only if you get 3 or 4 channel setup and it's reflected in the price. So far I'm happy with it (it's been a few months).

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.
