Blackvue is premium, but definitely overpriced. Viofo is great for reliability, but I agree the app is not super good. [I got the Vantrue S1 Pro Max after reading this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1luh6dy/vantrue_s1_pro_max_is_the_probably_the_nicest_cam/), and it’s been the most user-friendly functional app out of all the major brands.

I would recommend Vanture S1 Pro Max. It has duel 4k cams for rear and front. I’m using it myself and the price is relatively reasonable compared to Viofo’s offering for a similar setup (a229 ultra)

One of the rare days the sun is out. The dash cam‘s Ai recognizes motorcycles as pedestrians lol Setup : Vanture S1 Pro Max (main unit) setup as a rear cam. HDR turned on. Platepix turned off. Exposure set to 0.3. Aftermarket CPL filter attached.

it’s actually the main unit. I have another v12 outlet in the trunk, so I installed one in the back as well as the front. Amazon had a sale back in early October where you get a single unit for less than $120.

It’s a great camera for the price. especially for 4k.

Agreed. That’s from the VanTrue S1 Pro Max, which is a dual 4k system. [This post convinced me to order one. ](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1luh6dy/vantrue_s1_pro_max_is_the_probably_the_nicest_cam/)

6 years and 4 years in Arizona heat for my A119 V3 and A129 Pro Duo, respectively. Still going strong. OP, [this post convinced me to get a VanTrue S1 Pro](https://www.reddit.com/r/dashcams/comments/1luh6dy/vantrue_s1_pro_max_is_the_probably_the_nicest_cam/), which is a dual 4k system. Only had it for about 4 months but I will say the app is way better than any other dashcam I’ve used.

My new Vantrue S1 Pro Max skips 3 file[\#s](https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/s) while losing \~5 minutes of video. Anyone else have this issue? I'm using a Samsung PRO Plus microSD Memory Card + Adapter, 512GB microSDXC, Up to 180 MB/s, Full HD & 4K UHD, UHS I, C10, U3, V30, A2. I have an image file, but no uploads on this forum?

Best one I have found and currently have is the Vantrue Sonnet Pro Max. (I have the front and rear camera) It has Starvis 2 abd 4k quality, it sits to the left of my rear view mirror and is not distracting at all while driving. I have it hard wired to the fuse box. You can also plug it into the cigarette lighter. If you hardwire it, you can use the parking mode feature which starts recording if motion is detected near your vehicle while it’s off and parked. I highly recommend

Tbh, both the front and rear cameras of my vantrue S1PM capture clear footage, which has been helpful when I needed accident evidence.

I use the vantrue s1pm right now. Front and rear cams cover all I really need, and the footage is clear enough to catch plates without any problem.

I just picked up the Vantrue S1 Pro Max and it has all that AI monitoring. So far it’s been great. It caught me nodding off a few times and the alert immediately jolted me awake.

If you need it to be removable, go with a suction cup mount. I’m using the Vantrue S1PM, very reliable for front/rear coverage.

It's got nice vid quaity. Records in 4K
