"Self installed front and back cams in about 20 minutes."
"The whole setup is pretty easy ... No need to do a hard wire if you don't want to, and it looks clean with no wires hanging. ... Even running the wires under the overhead liner for the rear camera is super easy."
"Bought the dongle so I wired it into my fuse box. All wires hidden. ... Yup I just tucked it up in there."

"G-shock sensor was a must and thus it needed to be hard wired (which is relatively easy)."

"The cam lasted me a little over 2 years before it started to crap out on me. ... When it started to go it would just bootloop or the screen would stay black. ... I don't know if it was the heat or that the camera would run 6-8 hours daily that killed it."

"the camera would stay on even after the car was turned off, which will drain the battery over time."

I've been using this one for over a year. [Vantrue](https://a.co/d/cLWGkba) [GPS attachment](https://a.co/d/4zC9D3K)[NYTimes Wirecutter gave it a good review](https://share.google/Lj4t1oFk0QQN8Dvjg)
r/Miata • A $100 Dashcam in my miata paid off my house. ->I have the Vantrue N4. It took a bit to hide the wiring, maybe an hour's worth of work. It's has lost suction twice in the 18 months I've had it; both times on really hot days (100°+). Vantrue N4 3 Channel Dash Cam,... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083V6K8RH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
r/ToyotaTacoma • Dash-cam for 2020 Tacoma ->I use [this one.](https://a.co/d/3YvL4tf) It’s been extremely reliable for the past year of ownership. It has a front cam, interior cam with IR for nighttime recordings and rear-view camera for your rear protection. Quality of the video has been great; you can definitely make out the license plate numbers. Also was pretty easy to install as they give you the lever you need to run the cable through your car. And also if you go with this one, make sure to apply the $40 coupon in your cart.
r/CalPolyPomona • Any dash cam recommendations? ->Just bought this one last year and it’s been great so far! https://a.co/d/7boa6ie It captured a baseball sized rock that shattered my front sunroof. Never saw it myself, but after seeing the video it helped with insurance to cover it as non human related, so it didn’t raise my premium. The cables tuck away well in the liners and it’s nearly invisible. Even the one routed all the way to the rear.
r/KiaEV9 • Dash cam ->I have the Viofo A229 Pro and can highly recommend it. I also think the A229 Plus will probably be more than enough but if you're willing to spend the money, the Pro is worth it. I watched a (german) comparison video of a few different dashcams and the Thinkware U3000 was one of the worst in terms of license plate identification. The best ones were the A229 Pro and the Vantrue N400. Therefore, don't buy the Thinkware, it's not worth the money.
r/Dashcam • Recommendation dashcam for Kia Sportage 2025 ->I think you can't go wrong with a Vantrue and if you'd like a 4 channel dashcam it looks pretty good. I would give it a go
r/Dashcam • Recommendation dashcam for Kia Sportage 2025 ->I do uber and live in Texas so I had bought a vantrue n4 3ch back in 2020. The cam lasted me a little over 2 years before it started to crap out on me. When it started to go it would just bootloop or the screen would stay black. I don't know if it was the heat or that the camera would run 6-8 hours daily that killed it. Right now I am running a Viofo a229 pro on one of my vehicles and so far it's been working good. I like that it has 3 separate cameras that way if the main one breaks I can just buy that one and connect the others without having to buy the full set again.
r/Dashcam • Dash cam recommendations for Texas driving ->I owned the N4 non pro version and liked it so I am sure the pro would be better. Now I run the viofo a229 and also like it. A good thing about the viofo is that all 3 are separate cameras so if one breaks down you can just replace that one. With the N4 I believe you have to buy the whole package if the main camera goes down. Have you taken a look at the E360 from vantrue? I got that one recently for my vehicle I do uber in and so far it's been good. Easy to setup since it's a single camera and it has touchscreen. The touchscreen part isn't a huge deal since you can control the N4 and a229 from phone apps but it is a nice feature to have. I think you could also setup a rear camera and an LTE module to it.
r/Dashcam • Choosing a 3 Channel Dash Cam? ->101% yes. Vantrue N2 for budget or Vantrue N4+ for quality/features
r/lyftdrivers • Dash cam, yes or no? And is there a preferred set up? ->VanTrue N4 4K 3-channel. Have had mine for a few years here now and zero issues.
r/vegaslocals • Dash Cam Recs? ->Also chiming in on VanTrue. I've used the N4 4K 3-channel dashcam for about 4-5 years now. Not a single issue, even the suction cup stays on in the intense heat.
r/vegaslocals • Dash cams that hold up to the heat here? ->I got a Vantrue last year. They had good sales. I've got a 3 camera version, but only use the front camera currently. I turned off the cabin camera to conserve storage space. It also wasn't good for my marriage when I suggested we look at the tape to resolve a discussion we were having about who said what to whom. So now I have it turned off. I can turn it back on with voice commands if I ever needed to if we were being stopped or something.
r/Frugal • Any good dashcams that aren't too expensive but with all the functionalities? ->Also using vantrue (n4 i think), and I'm very happy with the performance.
