Vantrue - N2X

If you are in the market for a dual dashcam, I just got this from Vantrue Vantrue N2X 2.7K Uber Dash Cam... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRRXH5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share which has been pretty good so far. I also got this https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sku/6506838.p?skuId=6506838&sb_share_source=PDP to go with it. Before this I bought the Viofo A119 mini 2 which was pretty bad as the app was not retrieving any videos and the camera was not recording the videos properly. It was cutting it off abruptly every 30-45 seconds. Give this a shot for about 170$.

Vantrue N2x with the inside camera off so front camera has max resolution. Also hooked up Dongar Pro adapter to pre installed wiring in the headliner. I have it setup to record 4 hours after parking instead of always but zero wiring it’s lovely

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

I have the vantrue N2X dashcam for my 2015 Forester. I didn't hardwire it, I worked the 11ft power cord along the inside of the front passenger A-pillar and along the door jam and under the passenger side carpet and plugged it into the power outlet in the center console since I never used it anyway. I've only had it for only 3 months but I like it so far. Except it does randomly take pictures and idk why 😂

[Go with the VanTrue N2X](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D9GRRXH5/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_PGXHPXAKZJ6D407Q1S0Y?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20). It’s the next gen from the N2 Pro which is used by a lot of Uber drivers and has had good reviews and reliability. To get the function of recording for several minutes after engine shut off, have an extra battery bank or hardwire it.

That’s a great camera and exactly what I was going to recommend for you. Pair it with [a max endurance memory card](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084CJ9T2R/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WFFHDWCRNAPCVZJ2PGSF?linkCode=ml1&tag=lfttscl-dbc-20) and you’ll be good to go.

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.

Amazon has dashcams available. You only need to clean the area of the window you apply the mount to, and run the cable from your outlet. I bought the "Vantrue N2X Dashcam" and it's awesome. It's got an app if you need to view things quickly and is pretty small. I like it anyhow....

Spend the $ and get a Vantrue. N2X is on sale on Amazon for $150. It records front and interior. Or splurge and get an N5S, also on sale on Amazon for $300, records front rear and interior from 2 angles. If not those then do some research and find one you like. Don’t get the cheap Chinese ones. Also, get a decent sized memory card for it.

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 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.
