N4S

So I have had 3 total vantrue products. All 3 were pretty nice while they worked, but 2 of the three have failed just outside of warranty. Both n4s that failed on me were less than two years old, and both failed in the same way, with the motion sensors failing first meaning that they would never "sleep" or go into parking mode because they no longer thought they were still. This was fine and I continued to use them as they were just plugging and unplugging them as I needed so that they wouldn't drain my battery. Then one had a front facing camera failure. Front camera just wouldn't come on at all, and if it did it was just rob rainbow splattered pixels. Discarded it and replaced it with the same model. Well my 2nd one (not the replacement) failed in the same way. I got by a little longer with that one by learning that if I squeezed the lens into the camera really hard the front camera would almost always pop back on for an hour or so, but that only worked for a couple months. Discarded that one and now I still have the replacement but I fear that it will fail in a similar fashion now as well. In the 1nd vehicle I'm running my old viofo a119 and that things still chugging along. When this vantrue dies I'll start the hunt for a new brand. Edit : Oh and I've had 3 of their suction mounts fail over 3 years. The rubber eventually just rips and disintegrates. I know these aren't products designed to last forever but other similar products have lasted longer for me.

Vantrue NS4 is excellent...have that on my son's car. Four cameras, one on windshield recording forward and into cabin, another on rear window records backwards and into rear cabin. All four combined you get near 360deg coverage. Hardwired so it's on 24/7.....detects motion if parked and begins recording from all 4 angles .

I’ve had the vantrue nexus 4s for maybe 3 years always been good to me. Hardwire kit was super easy to set up, although it is sold separately.

I've installed a Vantrue Nexus 4S and it's been great. Hardwired.

Only having a front view isn’t really enough. At least get front and rear cameras, since that’s where incidents happen most often. I'd say go for the vantrue n4s. It’s a 3 channel dashcam that covers all around my car. Pretty happy with it :)

Yeah it supports parking mode. It works pretty well.
