Vantrue - N2

I have the Vantrue Pro N4 and I have had the N2 in the past. The N4 has a rear facing camera as well. Even if you dont do ride share the way people drive it helps prove without a doubt who was at fault.

Define cheap for people to make a recommendation. I have a Vantrue N2 that was around $199 and it works great for me.

101% yes. Vantrue N2 for budget or Vantrue N4+ for quality/features

I have the vantrue N2. But I’m aiming for the N4 and a rear window cam

I bought a Vantrue N2 and the biggest SD card it would hold off Amazon. This model does require a computer to download the video from the SD card. It sounds to me like you would prefer something with cloud storage that you could access from your phone. Your top of the line brands like Vantrue, Nexar, and BlackVue all have models with this feature. There are budget friendly options out there. Just read reviews and cross-check with YouTube to see if the model you are interested in has a review done by someone who has bought one. And once you buy one, you can have it professionally installed if you feel uneasy doing it yourself.

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

N2 was the model. Yes to NV in cabin and front view. Leaning towards replacing with VanTru but researching other brands at this time

Vantrue N2 front and in cabin, works fine, haven’t had to use it yet. I keep the car in the garage and only drive at night, besides taking kids to school and shopping trips, so idk what baking in the sun would do to it. Had this one for about a year now with no issues. Had some cheap Amazon one that did the same thing with shitty quality but good enough if I needed it for evidence in an accident, it lasted 3 years, I think I paid like $28 for it. It didn’t even die, just the crappy micro-USB port became loose as they all do over time and it would sporadically lose connection and cycle off and on. Edit to add I don’t buy anything with a micro-USB connection anymore for the same reason; I’ll pay extra to get a USB-C version. Screw Uber for making the latest Beacon crappier than the old circular window mount one; no battery, downgraded from USB-C to micro-USB, and non customizable colors etc. Capitalism at work I guess.

Vantrue N2 Dual here, without GPS. Bought it many years ago, but it is still working great. I especially like it because it has battery backup, and when parked, detects motion and takes near 360 video - kind of similar to sentry mode.

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.
