This is my 4th Vantrue dashcam so I am very familiar with this brand. I’ve been using the N2 Pro for several years but needed another one and Vantrue has been fairly reliable compared to other brands I’ve bought. I will say first of all that their customer service is definitely better than most other companies so that is one reason why I like this brand. They tend to stand by the product (even after the supposed warranty period). So take this into account when buying a dashcam, especially if you are paying several hundreds of $. Vantrue actually responds fairly quickly to any issues with their dashcams (I’ve had 2 small matters come up over the past 4-5 years only).So after looking around I opted for this newer Nexus Pro 3 channel dashcam. The suction mount is very similar to my N2 Pro and when it is really hot, it falls off. I have had to gently re-wet the suction mount a few times already and have done it a number of times with my N2 Pro. But for the most part it suctions all right. Again, it’s only when it is scorching hot outside that the suction tends to unmount. It does not happen all that often. Installation is very easy with 3M tape for mounting, no problems. The video quality is very good! If you want the 4K you’ll need to run the front cam by itself but even doing the 1440 is totally fine. The videos are MP4 format so that is handy and easy and “events” get stored in a separate folder to locate easily. All cameras have good quality (the front is the best of course). The mic quality is outstanding and the LCD screen is fairly large for something like this.This dash cam does have wifi access but honestly I have found wireless access a chore and slow. I prefer to use the microSD card anyway and just view files or events on my laptop with the card. It’s just faster and you don’t have to deal with laggy processing. As for GPS tracking I have not used that function but it is built in if you want to use that. I am suspicious of using GPS though because it does track your speed [hahaha]. Also if you want to have a more permanent parking mode you will want to buy a hardwire kit or use a kind of portable power bank. These things only cost about $15 these days so it isn’t bad at all.Overall I give this N4 Pro 3 channel dashcam 5 stars because the company is very good and the quality of the cameras is excellent and for the ease of use. Going through all the settings is intuitive and easy and you can have this thing setup in no time and on the road. It’s a really good dashcam overall and you can’t beat 3 channels (3 cameras). I give it 5 stars for build quality, performance, and customer support. Yes it costs a little more but it’s worth it. Highly recommended!

This camera is easy to setup in virtually any type of car/truck. It has a very sturdy build. It feels solid and I like the size. It is about the same size as my rear view mirror. It takes amazing 4k videos. This model has the PlatePix feature that uses AI to make the cars license plates easier to read in case you need it for evidence.The install of the main unit was trivial just stuck it on the window and hide the wire behind the interior panels using the included tool. For the rear camera you need to run a wire from the main unit to the back window so I recommend dropping the headliner and running it under there. Trust me its much easier than you think. Just watch a few videos online to build your confidence.My reason for spending so much on this camera is because Im an independent contractor for the big blue retail and grocery store. Im a delivery driver and Im a business owner, my car is my place of work, my livelihood. I need to have the assurance that my dash cam is catching everything around me. That means a clear video, the license plates of the cards around me, any and all audio captured, The speed I am going, and how my exacted location tracked in real time and synced to the video.With the micro sd card so easy to remove i could just pop it out and pop it into my cpu for a quick download. With dual band wifi, over the air video downloads and firmware upgrades are super quick.The only downside is the price. I know, you get what you pay for, and it totally is worth every penny.

This Vantrue N4 Pro was installed in my Subaru Outback. Pictures show the front and rear camera installation.The video clarity is amazing, as are the many features. Camera setup, control, and video downloads are easily done with the Vantrue phone app. The app is very easy and intuitive to use.Front camera installation is very easy and solid (and easy to remove too) with the windshield film mounting method vs the old suction cup method. I had to use a different method for the rear camera since the entire rear window is covered by the defogger heating element, so not a good idea to mount anything covering the heating element. Instead I mounted the camera on the rear plastic headliner, and thus also avoiding dealing with routing the cable through the rear door flex wiring channels.To avoid the curtain side airbags I ran the connection cable along the bottom door channels, which also required adding a 6 foot extension USB cable due to the longer cable run. Do not run the cable across the airbags, especially on the A pillar. Here I ran the cable down the A pillar along the windshield down to the dashboard to avoid crossing the cable over the airbag.In this installation, I used the cigarette lighter socket for power, so the camera turns on and off automatically with the ignition switch. To make use of the parking mode, one would need to use the OBD connector or hardwire to the fuse box for uninterrupted power, which I elected not to do in this case. (I do use the OBD connector in my other vehicle to enable using the parking mode).I now have Vantrue dash cams in both my vehicles and the cameras have been totally reliable with great performance. I highly recommend Vantrue cameras.
