Vantrue - Element 1 Pro (E1 Pro)

I use the VanTrue E1 Pro. Got it for $99 bucks a few days ago on Prime Day. It’s small enough that I mounted it right at the base of the rear view mirror. Can’t even see it at all during driving and it hasn’t affected the EyeSight system at all.

I have the VanTrue E1 Pro. It’s small and fits right behind the mirror and you can’t even see it when driving. Doesn’t mess with eye sight either. Got it for 99 bucks on prime day. Works great, but runs hot.

Verwacht niet dat je met de dashcam daadwerkelijk veel gaat bereiken mbt tot herkenbare verdachte. Als dit gebeurt doen ze het vaak in het donker plus dan niet zonder gezichtbedekking.. Zelf tevreden over deze dashcam: https://www.amazon.nl/VANTRUE-Pro-LTE-ondersteuning-Spraakbesturing-Parkeermodus/dp/B0DSKXJV3H/ref=asc_df_B0DSKXJV3H?mcid=68941e7327433f9a900523094ddf40f8&tag=nlshogostdsp-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=710052377470&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=850518206958899954&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1010751&hvtargid=pla-2403182101916&psc=1&gad_source=1 Nadeel dat dit alleen voor is.

I got the Vantrue E1 Pro for my gf and it only took about 15 minutes to set up since she didn’t need parking mode. It’s really compact and records in 4K, which is nice. Might be worth checking out some YouTube video to see how it looks once installed.

Vantrue E1 Pro it's square shaped with a small built-in screen, really compact and unobtrusive. I powered mine through the cigarette lighter, so the installation was super easy. you should definitely check out some youtube video to see how it actually look installed.

I recently got a vantrue E1PRO and it might be what you need. It is compact, can automatically capture license plates, and records very clear footage.

Vantrue E1 Pro is a solid choice. 4K front video look great, and it’s simple to set up. Perfect if he is just starting out.

Vantrue E1 Pro is a solid choice for a front dash cam under 150 bucks. It records in 4K with a Starvis2 sensor, making details like license plates much clearer. It's compact and super easy to install, just plug it into the cigarette lighter and you're good to go. There’s also a test review on dashcamtalk forum if you want to check out more details (shoutout to EricSan).

I have the VanTrue E1 Pro wired into the rear view mirror (with a wiring harness sold separately on Amazon). It was about $180 all in (camera, 256 GB SD card, and harness).

Not going to lie - it was more difficult than I expected in my ND3 RF, but still very doable. I scratched up the housing a bit and did break a tab, but it still went back together and doesn't rattle. The scratches are in an area I can't see when sitting in the seat, so they don't bother me. Also I believe the replacement parts from Mazda are pretty cheap, if you do end up breaking it. If you look through the comments on my profile from about a month ago, I commented on an older thread that has some discussion, videos, and replacement parts numbers when I was installing mine.

I have a 2025 ES350 and am happy with the Vantrue E1 Pro which records in 4k and has really good image quality even at night. * From the driver's seat I can see <10% of the bottom of it based on where I mounted it. * It is not distracting as there is a setting which disables the screen. There is only a little green flashing LED to show that it is recording. * Powering it was easy with a Dongar Dashcam Power Adapter (10-pin Type B), [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BH4G1NW](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BH4G1NW) which just connects into the mirror and is not viable thanks to a zip tie. * You can search on youtube for some install videos. No tools needed. Here is a view from the rear passenger seat. https://preview.redd.it/1ijsym3mdgyf1.jpeg?width=1077&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adc931e7f851c26221bfbb847d8d7426abba4263

Ended up getting a Vantrue E1 pro dash cam. Does the 12v cigarette lighter that powers the dashcam stay on while the vehicle is turned off?

Just installed the Vantrue E1 Pro. It only has a front camera, but other than that, it ticks all the boxes mentioned here.

I have this same cam in front; it’s not perfect but I’m happy with it overall. I’d buy a second for rear. I’ll power it from the rear AC output tho, I don’t think your cable will work long term. The USB ports are woefully underpowered.

Exact same as OP

The A810 Plus definitely has a supercap, and looks to be solid as anything. I do use the A329 in two channel mode but it has intermittent issues with my Kingston external SSD, Viofo has had to backtrack on its claims of compatibility with SSD enclosures - it's been a mess. A119 V3 I've still got one in the drawer that was my daily for a couple of years, it can't be beaten in the Australian heat here and for it's video quality. Vantrue has caught up a lot in terms of their app and image quality, I would go for E1 Pro which seems to be the pick for a cheap 4k single unit solution. The e360 is a bit out of an outlier as they're trying something new - they have had their doozies like the s1 pro which was quickly replaced by the N2X which was way way better. To be honest, it's a three way battle between Viofo 70mai and Vantrue now. Totally understand the convenience of the Wolfbox and the form factor , it definitely has it's use cases and I can't fault that in the slightest. Wolfbox seem to be getting their game together now which is good. I agree with you on the x800, it seems like that's what the issue is. Shame really but what can you do. To be honest the a810 plus seems to be the safer buy even if the cabin is a crappy 1080p only. YouTube reviewers don't mention these issues not a single one mentioned it for the x800 even though they would have the Dec and January batch units that had the issues.

Vantrue for years. Just picked up an E1 Pro for the Starvis 2 sensor and it's mini sized. E1 says it operates up to 158°.

Vantrue E1 Pro is “real" 4K. A lot of those cheaper cams just upscale from a lower resolution and slap a 4K label on it. Not saying they’re all junk, but don’t expect real 4K quality from a $60 cam.

I’m currently using the Vantrue E1 Pro and I’ve been happy with it. It’s easy to install and the compact size makes it easy to tuck behind the rearview mirror so it stays out of sight.

Vantrue E1 Pro. Has the Starvis 2 sensor which blows the Fitcam X image quality out of the water. It's hidden behind the rearview mirror so just as sleek. Here's a pic of the install on my Bolt: https://old.reddit.com/r/BoltEV/comments/1jube8v/bolt_integrated_dashcam/mm38h5u/

Highly recommend ventrue e1 pro if looking for compact 4K dashcam

Vantrue E1 Pro. It’s really compact and tucks easily behind the rearview mirror, so it stays out of sight. It records in 4K and you can just plug it into the cigarette lighter if you’re not using parking mode.

Look at the Vantrue E1Pro. Turn off WiFi if you want to. The camera slides off its mount effortlessly. You can then take it indoors to download files from the cam wired or pull the SD card and download from it. Incredibly loaded camera with many features only very high priced cams hasve as well as an awesome picture day and night.

Same here, I’ve got the E1 Pro too and I’ve been really happy with it. It hold up great even in hot weather. There are a bunch of stress tests and user reviews on Dashcamtalk for this model and it passed all of them.

If you only need a front cam, Vantrue E1 Pro is a solid choice. It records in 4K and the video quality is great. if you want to use parking mode, you’ll need to get a hardwire kit or an OBD cable to keep it powered while the car is off.

I bought the Dongar kit that is plug and play to the rain sensor connection behind the mirror. No splicing no cutting. Just plug into the existing connectors. The only problem is it's constant power. So I went with the Vantrue E1 pro because it can switch in and out of parking mode based on motion alone and doesn't need switched power. When I return the car just unplug the connector and it's back to factory condition.

I'm using the VanTrue E1 Pro. I installed it just last weekend (life got in the way of doing it sooner). It is working pretty well. It goes into parking mode without any issue. I have it set to only G sensor for lowest power consumption. Once an impact is felt it boots up and records for 30 seconds then goes back to sleep (if there isn't continued trigger events). The only minor issue I have ran in to is that it will detect the closing of the door as an event and wake up, but if I don't start driving within those 30 seconds, it will go back to sleep and if I drive off gently enough it doesn't wake up right away. However, even the most gentle driving will trigger it before very long. Then it will stay active and record the entire drive. I may play with the parking trigger sensitivity to see if that helps. So far it has sat from about 5pm until about 7:30am the next day and was still receiving power. The Dongar has a small blue LED. I'm not sure what would happen over a longer period. I am planning to unplug the camera when the car sits for extended periods like on vacation, but I'm hoping I can leave it for a day or 2 over a weekend. Haven't had a chance to look at any of the recorded video yet so can't give a review on that part. Likely won't have a chance to dive into that before next month as life is crazy at the moment.

Yes, it's adjustable in the settings. I have it set to 30 seconds. So it will display for 30 seconds and then it goes dark for the rest of the ride. You can press a button to wake it if you want to see something. The only thing that indicates it's recording is a slow blinking green light and I believe even that can be disabled, but I like to know it's working so I left that on.

In my truck we are running the Wolfbox G900 Pro 2-ch, Viofo A119 Mini 2 in back, and Vantrue E1 Pro in front. In my car we are running the Wolfbox G900 Pro 2-ch, and Viofo A229 Plus 3-ch. Waiting to install the 70mai 4K Omni X800 just not sure where LOL.

If you still need a rear dash cam setup on a Lexus GX 460 2022 - heres what i did https://preview.redd.it/fhzrrqzfbyvf1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=214e9f256ff0f9828f2a93f58f1d022ec36dd931 I chose the Vantrue E1 Pro 4k Dash Cam Mount used - [Rear Dash Cam Mount: 2024-2025 Toyota Land Cruiser/lexus GX550, Quick and Secure Installation, Vehicle Dash Camera Clip, Car Mount Accessory - Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/listing/4372289213/rear-dash-cam-mount-2024-2025-toyota?ls=r&ref=hp_recent_activity_hub-1&content_source=13aed26cf1a1620894538d03a20d68bf%253ALT88f07108b2ab7f7d3638ce7bab486f6faf34932f&logging_key=13aed26cf1a1620894538d03a20d68bf%3ALT88f07108b2ab7f7d3638ce7bab486f6faf34932f) one of the best mounts i could find, this saved me from mounting the dash cam on the glass and i did not want to wire the dashcam through the barn door. USB C extension cable - 26ft Flat Cable - i ran this from the driver USB slot down to the driver seat and ran it through the rubber door seal along the upper window headliner gaps. not the cleanest install near the the usb slots but hey at least it was a DIY and saved myself a couple bucks from having it installed somewhere. super easy took me a total of maybe 20 minutes.

i did get the Vantrue E1 Pro during Amazon prime day for 99$ it such a steal at this price

Vantrue E1 Pro comes with a suction cup mount option, making it even more flexible for quick removals or repositioning. Very compact, and you can even put it directly in your pocket. It’s perfect for situations where you switch vehicles often.

I am using a Vantrue E1 Pro. Already tried different 70mai units, and earlier this year, DDPai. For me, the best among them was the Vantrue, as long as you get the top of the line models that use a Sony Starvis 2 sensor. Single cam lang to, since medyo pricey ung dual cam. With that my plan is to just eventually get a separate rear cam.

I’ve got the Vantrue E1 Pro. The image quality is seriously impressive, especially for the size. But you’ll definitely want to get a good quality SD card—since you’re doing a trip like that, I’d go with 256GB or higher. Most dash cams loop record, so if you catch something cool, make sure you save the clip right away.

Got the Vantrue pro s.. front, cabin and rear, I liked it because it has “sentry mode” so even if I am not in the car, it will record at low frame rate. Cons.. if you are using apple car play, you can’t connect to it because car play uses WiFi, and Vantrue uses WiFi as well, so you’ll need to disconnect..

Vantrue 4K front, cabin and back of car. Reaaaally great camera with all the angles covered

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.
