My vantrue N4 Pro is hard worked to the fuse panel. It doesn't start as soon as the car is turned on. It only turns on randomly after driving for a few mins.

i'm using a vantrue N4 pro, the original shot had much more coverage but i zoomed in so you could see the accident more clearly and it still had great quality. it cost me around $320 but it was absolutely worth it.

I want to mention something I've discovered as a N4 Pro owner. When Parking Mode is enabled it will deactivate PlatePix and not automatically reactivate when returning to drive. I've had to manually reenable PlatePix every time I used Parking Mode.

The Vantrue N4 Pro has a rear mounted cam that plugs into the side of the front cam and has the option to not only turn off the screen, but also turn off the LED operation indicator light.

I live in Minnesota and bought this about a year ago.. recently I had a woman go through a red light and total my car.. Minnesota is a no fault state and this paid for itself that day... They had no denial of liability.. Crystal clear at night. Even a pitch black.

had the same issue with a firmware update ruining my camera too. night footage went from clear to useless and I was too tired to keep fighting it. ended up switching brands. sometimes it’s just not worth the headache...

I have a Vantrue N4 pro, this dashcam is great. Very clear and reliable. However, the app functionality is very laggy and sucks. But otherwise, it’s a great dashcam.

I bought Vantrue N4 Pro a week ago and the camera has been turning off (happened multiple times). But today I started smelling strong burning smell after the camera turned off, had to disconnect the camera to make it stop.

I bought this dashcam during a sale, and to my surprise it has save me a few hundreds of dollars.

Personally, I have been using a Vantrue N4 Pro in my 24 Prius Prime hardwired for a couple of months now. And the video quality is phenomenal on all three cameras, front, back and interior.

The n4 pro does not get clear photos of license plates on oncoming cars even going slow. The 4k image is blurry and unreadable. Also it gets extremely hot and even pops up with a warning that it is shutting down because it is too hot

got this installed in my Elevate ZX CVT: Vantrue N4 Pro 3 Channel 4K WiFi Dash Cam, STARVIS 2 IMX678 Night Vision, 4K+1080P+1080P Front Inside and Rear Triple Car Camera. https://www.amazon.in/Vantrue-N4-Pro-Channel-STARVIS/dp/B0C3M7HPRT It has been functioning well, no issues so far. But one thing to consider is that Vantrue’s support is limited in India.

Now on my N4 Pro, if I want to turn parking mode on or off,I always have to go through this bullsht routine of turning the cam on or off to reconnect wifi. It is even worse if the cam is in parking mode already AND I need to turn it off.

I have the Vantrue N4 pro with the dongar adapter. Camera quality is great and it isn’t too intrusive where I have it installed just above the rear view mirror.

This dash cam delivers best-in-class video quality from more angles than you’ll find with other cameras. However, you pay a fairly steep price for all these benefits.

I have this dashcam and it is amazing!! It has saved my butt already!

This camera used to be able to record plates in the dark with ease, but this stupid update with forced activated platepix ruined the camera. None of the 12 hours of footage I captured last night in 4k had ANY usable plates and the footage is grainy/ awful

South Florida, same cam, I put the camera away so I can put my sunshade up (and avoid theft temptation), and the suction cups falls every few weeks. No biggie though

Problem was that power came from Vantrue OBD-2 plug kit. Replaced with a hardwired fuse kit. Unit now powers up reliably. Vantrue INCORRECTLY states that the OBD kit is compatible with the N4 Pro (with rear camera).

I got a Vantrue N4 Pro with the Dongal connector and it works great.

I’m using the Vantrue N4 Pro, which actually has an extra interior camera in addition to the front and rear cameras. The front cam records in 4K, and the video quality is really solid.

Upgraded from the Viofo A129 Pro Duo 4K to the Vantrue N4 Pro 3 Channel 4K. The Viofo just couldn't handle the mid-west heat and malfunctioned twice. The Vantrue does fine in the heat, except the morning sun will heat up the adhesive and I have to reattach it.

I use a vantrue n4 pro. I have one in each of my 3 cars. After two accidents, they have been worth their weight in gold. Instant proof of who is at fault.
