Vantrue - N4

Also using vantrue (n4 i think), and I'm very happy with the performance.

I have the Vantrue N4 Pro in my Tacoma and an N4 (non Pro) in my wife's 2025 Nissan Leaf. The Pro has wifi capabilities in which you can access the footage via the app. The whole setup is pretty easy, and I wired both vehicles using The Dongar adapters that connect at the rear view mirror (most newish cars have power of some sort in the mirror). YouTube was a good resource for the truck, but hardly nothing for the Leaf, so I had to put on the ol thinking cap. No need to do a hard wire if you don't want to, and it looks clean with no wires hanging. The Dongar usually runs about $30, just make sure you know what pin type you need. Even running the wires under the overhead liner for the rear camera is super easy.

Not worth it. Get a high end 4k dash cam. I have a 3 channel dash cam (vantrue n4, 3 channel) that was $350-400 NEW. Put in the time and labor to hardwire it ($90) and you have something WAY less expensive than the dealership charge. F that. Buy aftermarket and get what you need, a 3 channel dash cam. Saved my buttore than once.

Any dashcam that you can afford. I bought my van true n4 3 channel dash cam when it was the newest. Worth the money. Got my dad one as well. It's worth getting something to protect yourself. Just buy the best you can and upgrade later.

I have the vantrue n4 with gps. Bought the dongle so I wired it into my fuse box. All wires hidden. Records when people wall up to the car. Has a forward facing/inward facing and a usb ran to the rear for the 3rd camera.

Yup I just tucked it up in there. Power cord on one end that goes to the dashcam and a fuse dongle on the other that plugs directly into the fuse box. Yup it's a good thing to have.

I got a “Vantrue N4”. It was around $180 when I bought it two years ago. Super easy to install myself, even to hard wire into the car wasn’t difficult although you can just plug it into your cig lighter port if you prefer. The quality of the video is incredible. I haven’t needed to use it for insurance purposes yet but I have caught a bunch of great footage of moronic drivers lol

Vantrue 3 channel. Would reccomemd you get something that is more wifi based -the subscription if thats even an option anymore

I went with a vantrue 3-channel, feels like it covers all the basics I need for daily driving.

I've got a Vantrue N4 3 channel. So I ran the back cabling under the headliner and the front cable runs down the right side a Pilar, through the glove box and then down into the lower unit tray under the climate controls. It's very sleek and apart from the couple wires that come out of the dash cam unit, you can't see them. Assuming the unit wires are not crazy thick, you can pull back the trim enough to squeeze the wire in without pulling anything off.

So I'll be completely honest with you, we had some roof work done, and the body shop did it for us. Prior to, I did just tuck it between the headliner and the trim pieces and you couldn't tell other than around the B pillar. Also, this https://youtu.be/vIRIqoVUxSI?feature=shared

I've got a Vantrue 3 channel and it's been good for the year I've owned it. Only pitfall with my model is I need to unplug/remove the SD card to backup the footage. Plus models seem to have wifi capability.

Phoenix here… I got a good deal on a Vantrue N4 so I went with it. So far, so good after a few months. They sell a heavy duty adhesive based mount for like $6 if the suction cup mount fails. The main selling point for me was that it uses a capacitor instead of a battery. That is supposed to be crucial for high heat areas. There are other models that have capacitors so that is where I would start the search.

I’m in Phoenix and have a VanTrue N4. I’ve only had it a few months so I haven’t been able to torture it yet but the main reason I got it (besides that I got a really good deal on it lol) was because it doesn’t have a battery but uses a capacitor instead. A model with a capacitor is a must for extreme heat from what I’ve read.

I have a VanTrue N4 which has an optional GPS mount but the one that comes in the box does not have GPS.

I have Vantrue N4’s in both of my cars. I might as well live on the surface of the sun (Phoenix area) and after a few months of blazing temperatures, they are both still working without issue. I also saw some negative reviews for Vantrue when people discussed dash cams in general but whenever someone mentioned needing one for an Uber driver, Vantrue always seemed to be a top recommendation. Not sure if it’s because Uber drivers need to have the interior camera and maybe your average person doesn’t want it? (It can be disabled but I prefer it since it helps to provide a view of the sides of the car.) TBH, I was hesitant when I bought mine, but I also bought them at a deep discount from an auction so I saw little risk involved. I did read the manual and saw the warnings about memory card compatibility so I did buy the best one that I could and haven’t had any issue. If price was equal I probably would have bought a Viofo since that’s what most recommend but if the Viofo is $300 and mine was $75, I’m buying the Vantrue again no doubt.

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
