Vantrue - S1 Pro

I installed this Vantru system in two of our cars, including the Gladiator. I really like it. I still need to mount the rear facing camera. I have a soft top and a hard top, so I can't just mount it on the hard top glass. I think I have figured out a way to mount the rear facing camera to the middle headrest post in the back seat. I'm gonna install it this weekend. Whatever you buy, make sure you also get a compatible hardwire kit (otherwise it won't record unless the truck is running), and a quality 256 gb memory card.

Love the vantrue s1 pro. It’s about $150, but it’s the best at clarity and has been tested by several online reviewers.

I like the Vantrue S1 Pro

Personally, I recommend the Vantrue S1 Pro. [Here's some footage I uploaded with the device.](https://youtu.be/P7v_1vJ7OK0) Edit: I'm sorry OP, I'm not sure why the video isn't uploading in higher quality.

Ran it through the headliner -> through the weather stripping -> behind the glovebox -> into the power outlet inside the center console. The rear camera is the same, but after routing it through the weather stripping I routed it underneath the plastic on the floor.

I bought the Vantrue S1 pro. It has parking mode capability, but I have not hooked it up yet.

I just got a Vantrue N5. Love it. Great quality. But if that's too expensive. The Vantrue S1 pro is also pretty good

Vantrue S1 pro is pretty nice

I’m using the Vantrue S1 Pro

Installed a [Vantrue S1 Pro](https://s650mustangmod.com) which covers the front and rear.

My Vantrue S1 Pro saved me a huge headache in an accident. Highly recommend. Picked over the viofo based on several reviews

25 Forester cameras are tight up against the windshield. I suspect they will have less potential issues than earlier versions. I'll be installing a Vantrue s1 pro in my wifes this weekend, and plan to place it on the right hand side of the rear view mirror, and otherwise follow the same install I did on my Impreza. In my Impreza, I dropped the headliner (which is a lot of work... all door weatherstripping, seat belts, pillar plastics, some other door trims... theres a lot), ran the wiring for the rear camera through the tube in the hatch and above headliner on the "top-side" of the curtain airbags with other wiring. Brought it behind the eyesight module and with the mirror wiring. From base of the front camera back up into the headliner, up around to the left side a pillar down to fuse panel. It was a solid 6 hours of work, but I've had no issues with it interfering with my older eyesight system.

I have a Vantrue Pro Dual hardwired in with the GPS mount and I love it. Warning with the 24 the fuse panel is buried passenger side behind the right side panel. You have to remove a few pieces of trim and the body clips are cheaply made as usual. Use removal tools and be careful. The next issue is the fuse panel is very small, not labeled and sealed water tight so you have to cut yourself a small path for the leads. Wires are completely hidden and the playback ia high def, and tracks my location / speed. You get what you pay for so remember that if you go cheap. With a big memory card this thing holds a ton of data. Has a switch to power down if its in park mode and the battery drops below a certain voltage. I bought one after I got hit by a car on my Harley in a hit and run, and then I ran accidents here in my area and found that a large majority are hit and run. Ive also had someone try to lie when I was T boned years and years ago.

Got the Vantrue pro s.. front, cabin and rear, I liked it because it has “sentry mode” so even if I am not in the car, it will record at low frame rate. Cons.. if you are using apple car play, you can’t connect to it because car play uses WiFi, and Vantrue uses WiFi as well, so you’ll need to disconnect..

I have a 2 channel Vantrue I’ve been using for about a month now. No issues and so far it’s done what it’s suppose to. Very easy to use.

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.

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.

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)

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