Vantrue - N5S 4-Channel Dash Cam

Been using the Vantrue N5S, the recording quality is really good. It caught a driver who scratched my car, otherwise I would have had to cover the damage myself.

I own a vantrue n5s, which offers 360‑degree coverage of my car. The footage can be viewed directly through the companion app, making review and export straightforward.

I recently got the Vantrue N5S. I had the older model on my trade in and worked like a charm. A bit pricey but the quality and the adhesive power on the windscreen survived blazing hot days with no problems. Has a rear cam. Don’t forget to get the right SD card and cable adhesive clips.

I got vantrue N5S for a while, and I’m very happy with it. It provides full-angle coverage, and the parking mode is really useful.

I also have a n5s, comes very handy when I file my insurance claim

Dashcams are definitely a solid gift, especially for someone with a new car. Cushions sound nice too, two hours each way is a long commute! I'm using a 4-channel vantrue n5s that records all around my car, feels great having that extra protection. I think your brother would really appreciate it.

I’ve been using the vantrue n5s and honestly the interior cam turned out to be more useful than I expected. I can keep an eye on my kid in the back without having to turn around, which is super convenient.

Running an N5S right now. The cams are really clear, even at night, and the parking mode works well. For commuting it feels like solid peace of mind.

I used to run the A229 Pro and it worked pretty well, but it kept freezing during hot weather. Turned out the internal battery couldn’t handle the heat. Switched to a Vantrue with a super capacitor and it’s been rock solid since.

It’s the n5s, a 4-channel setup. The video quality’s great, even at night or on the highway. But honestly, I drive for Uber, so 4-channel might be a bit overkill for daily use.

I'm going through a bit of a journey with dash cams. *TL;DR: I'm likely going to go with Viofo A299 Pro, but I'm looking in to their other offerings because the side cameras would be kind of nice.* Got the Viofo A299 Pro - this one is the best I've tried so far. I returned it impulsively because I thought I'd want the Ventrue N5 4-channel, but that thing never picked up when I said to lock the footage and eventually just died. It's currently heading back to Amazon and I think I'm going to try the Thinkware U3000. The radar features sound really interesting and the U1000 came highly recommended. I will likely re-buy the A299 Pro. My only real issue is that the app is kind of a bummer to use. But I've gotten around this by keeping an SD card adapter in my car that I can connect to my phone and pull the clips off.

Just get a third party dashcam. Viofo and Vantrue both have three channel dashcams with better quality for much less than that. And you can pay someone to install it and still be less than $590 I have a Vantrue N5 installed in my car

I use a vantrue N5 and E360, both are not under $100...they may have ones under $100.... There is a lens filter for some of their cameras that you would need to configure by rotating till you find the sweet spot otherwise there would be a glare from the sun or headlights. As for night driving lol, your lights reflect off the other car's plate when you review footage their plates are whited out.... Thus if you're not injured read out the plate, your dashcam will record your voice....that's if it doesn't fly off the mount....

Vantrue S1Pro or, what I have now, the N5. No drilling. TBH, I've never encountered a dashcam that required drilling for a rear cam.

I like the offerings from Van True. Have the N4 Pro and N5 - no complaints and they work great.

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.

I have a vantrue that captures front and cabin. I got it when i was driving my Crosstrek and could see my dogs in the back and it could see out the rear window. I really didn’t want to wire a rear one, not as straight forward as the windshield. Anyway, it’s 2k front and rear or 4k front only and has captured a lot of cool shit. Accidents, wildlife trying to commit suicide and it’s kinda fun to check footage after some spirited driving. I got my daughter the newer model that connects via WiFi and she loves it.

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

Front/rear facing Van True dash cam is what I used driving Uber on our ‘21 Sienna. Added one lookin out the back after being tailgated by a Peterbilt on I-80 in Pennsylvania. All I could see was chrome in the rear view mirror at 75mph. Easy enough to install and hide power supply cables. (Picture resolution roughly the equivalent of an iPhone 11)

I have a Vantru dash cam. I do not recommend them at all. Get a Viofo instead.

They don't do well in hot climates and in the summer here it gets over 100 f. So one day the camera just died. I started a claim and they made me make all these videos trying to get it to work. Eventually they determined it needed to be replaced and sent a new one after they recieved the dead one. The replacement didn't work either. So I had to do the entire process again. Luckily the third camera was the charm. Now I take my camera with me inside so it doesn't bake in the heat.

There are a few bigger brands, tho you never heard of them probably. I have 2 vantru cameras in 2 cars. About $165 each. Work fine. 2 camera install for each ( front and back) get a memory card ( a heavy duty or their suggested one) This particular brand has a “capacitor battery” instead of standard battery… resists in-car heat better than a battery. They’re a good idea… my daughter was in an accident, … other I lady ran a stop sign, and luckily it was caught on a home security camera. Made it a slam dunk case… swore from that moment to put a camera in every car.

Vantru and Blackvue are highly rated. I have one in one one of my cars but not the other.

I have a Vantru in the semi that I’ve had since late 2020, it records 24/7/365, I just replaced the memory card, but it works perfectly.

Actually, I bought this in 2021, it’s forward facing only, it has NV, they don’t list it anymore
