Vantrue N2 Pro Uber Dual 1080P Dash Cam

First, a bit of disclosure. I work for a surveillance camera manufacturer, so I am very familiar with the image quality possible today, even though we don't make any mobile or dash cams. Second, I had purchased multiple dash cams before stumbling upon Vantrue on Amazon. I was admittedly buying inexpensive models, and found that many had extremely poor instructions for setup and use. Others were poor resolution or narrow field of view. Worst of all, most didn't last me more than a couple of months before they failed due to the hot California sun. I actually had an accident where another car side swept me, and the driver only admitted fault because he saw my camera. When I looked at the camera later, it turned out it had failed to record, so I was very lucky that the other person assumed it caught what had happened. I decided to buy a quality camera to hopefully avoid those issues, and purchased an earlier Vantrue model (OnDash X3 1440P HD). I have used it daily since 2017; I've put 50,000 miles on my car in the past three years here in Los Angeles, so it does get a lot of use. The Vantrue I bought back then has had none of these problems. When I purchased a new car, I decided to transfer that older model to my wife's car, and purchase a new one for my own new vehicle. The Vantrue OnDash N2 Pro is what I purchased a couple of weeks ago on Amazon. It arrived in a couple of days. The packaging was clean and bright, as the pictures I took in my office show; it felt like a quality product from the start. This again is not always the case; I ordered one online from a deals site that came in very flimsy, black on white low quality packaging. That one turned out to be not so great a camera. Setup instructions for the N2 Pro are easy to follow (although in part that may be because I had used the earlier model) and with few English-language typos. Neither of these things should be considered a given! As you can see from the comparison shot I took in my garage, both cameras are similar, compact size. The N2 Pro (on the right in the photo) is slightly smaller in overall dimensions. The screen area is smaller as well, but it is extremely vivid & clear. Thus I don't have a problem with viewing content, either live video or playing back a recorded file. Since it is quite small, it blends in when you look at the car from the outside. Unless you are specifically looking for it, you likely won't notice the camera, as it almost disappears with the black of the mirror and sensors near where I typically mount it, center windshield, up high. I purchased the optional wiring harness, so that I could hook it up permanently. I do usually take a dash camera with me on trips, using the included 12 volt adapter and cable. Hooking it up via the wiring harness, though, lets me record any incidents that happen around the car when I'm not present. Vantrue indicates that it won't drain the vehicle battery in the documentation. Obviously, I haven't had a chance to validate that with the new model, but I believe it. I will be experimenting with the capabilities in this area. For example, I enjoyed the footage my previous Vantrue camera took going through a car wash. The night vision capability is outstanding, recording imagery much better than I can see with my own eyes. This is not a given; I've purchased and disposed of dash cams that had virtually no night vision and were thus useless much of the time. While I plan to primarily use it for recording the action ahead of me, this Vantrue model allows you to also record what is going on behind you in the rear seat of the car. The wide dynamic range all-lighting-conditions technology in the sensor also allows it to see out the rear window. This would be useful in the event you are rear-ended and need the evidence of what happened. I plan to experiment with that capability more as well, to see which mode I want to use it in. My only issue is that I had to look up in the printed instructions how to switch between front-facing recording only and the default mode of both front & rear facing recording activated. That done, no problems. Everything else was quite intuitive to set up if you've ever used other dash cams, and certainly if you've every had another Vantrue. The audio and video quality are excellent, and I've shown people on my team some of the recordings the camera produces. They were impressed with the quality, especially since we work for a surveillance camera manufacturer here in the US, and I think a couple of them probably have bought the same Vantrue model since then. I am very happy that I chose this model, and again purchased a Vantrue from Amazon again.

I had been planning on getting a dash cam for about a year and just couldn't settle on one. But after watching so much DDS, MegaDrivingSchool, Sergey22, etc. on YouTube, I decided on a VanTrue. The day after I made my decision and started seriously looking for one, an older gentleman pulled out of a gas station while not looking my direction and SOMEHOW, at less than 15 mph, totaled my car. I am still in disbelief! I went home and purchased this right away. I love it! High definition, high quality clips that you can set up in 1, 2, or 3 minute loops. Night vision is great. Some people have complained about the mount included (slipping) but mine has been on for several months in a Sacramento summer and now cold, wet weather with no change in position. I did get the GPS mount (tracks speed and coordinates) but haven't set it up yet. The inside facing camera is great, definitely keeps you more aware and tuned into the road knowing you have a permanent witness with you. Lol. But it doesn't just see inside, it's clear enough to see behind me as well, though mainly larger and more obvious details like car type and color rather than license plate numbers. The front camera gets plates, bumper stickers, signs, everything else though. It lets you take pictures in addition to recording manually. Parking mode is easy to set up and you can set the G shock sensor to a very sensitive setting but thankfully, I haven't needed it yet. All the settings are easy to set up, uploading clips can be done by taking the card out of the camera and uploading to the comp or the easier way, detach the whole camera (very easy to do by pushing a little lever and sliding it off) and connect using the USB cable. The playback is smooth and seamless, audio is not the best sometimes but I bought a camera not a microphone so I can't list that as a genuine con. However when it's really quiet (no radio, late night driving) you can even hear the blinker and windshield wipers going. Hit or miss. A card is not included, and when you buy one you need to format it before inserting it and recording. Very easy to do though, and my 256 GB Samsung (from the "recommended with this purchase" section) works great. Holds hours and hours of video so I can record as I please without running out of space or overwriting videos which is what happened with my last camera (gifted.... it broke). That being said, there is a note about the manually recorded/"event" videos potentially being overwritten once you hit something like 70% capacity. So if you care about that, stay on top of extracting your videos. My ONLY con after owning this for probably 3 months now, is the actual initial set up. It comes with all the cables and cords necessary to hook it up via the cigarette lighter port thing (idk) *but* the plug they gave me was too big for my port. Like, way, way too big; there was no realistic way it could fit in my 97 Honda Civic, so just keep that in mind if buying for an older car. I have a stereo/deck with a USB port so I can connect the camera to the power source that way using the USB cable meant for the computer, but it hangs down from the windshield and sometimes gets in the way, either of my hands or the inside facing camera. But again, only con here. Doesn't affect the operation and it was an easy fix. I've never bought a piece of technology that hasn't given me problems within the first 1-2 months but here I am reviewing the exception. Let me tell you, the piece of mind this gives you is overwhelming sometimes. I can't tell you how many times I've de-escalated someone else's road rage by simply pointing to the camera (or prevented my own by remembering it's inside watching me too! Ha!). Plus, I've caught some funny, unique, and just plain weird things on it, like a semi on fire on the freeway, a murmur of birds by the river, a troop of turkeys 45 strong fighting in the middle of the road, a crow dropping a rock on someone's windshield and cracking it, a homeless man pulling his sweats all the way off to tie his shoe in the middle of the road then pulling them back on to keep jay walking... Excellent gift for paranoid, angry, or new drivers, Lyft/Uber drivers, or just anyone with long commute who sees more than the average driver. You can't beat the price for the quality and customer service. 10/10 would buy again

I love this camera! The picture/video is unbelievable, I like the front/back view if you want it (or you can turn it off) you can also use (or not use to save battery life) the parking mode. It has a great amount of coverage/view when videoing and the sound is amazing. The installation was easy, the size is perfect and it functions great. The SD card has to be wiped about every 2-3 weeks depending on how often you drive and use it and how much storage is on your SD card. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is the suction cup. After having it less than a year (bought it November of 2024) the suction doesn't stay. We keep re-mounting it and it sticks for about 10-20 min and then falls off the windshield. If you can't have it mounted you can't use it (I was tempted to give it a 3 star because of this). We are trying to find another mount to buy or try to figure out how to adhere it without damaging the windshield. Other than that this is an AMAZING camera.

Was introduce by a friend to this dash cam that they have very good quality and good price for the built and specification, so i gave it a try. Below are my true review. Order on sat and got it on monday afternoon, very speedy delivery. First unbox of the dashcam got my surprise with the built quality of the dashcam, just like what my friend recommended. Box was well designed and packed, the dash cam itself its design and built with quality housing, camera lens is good too with both dual camera for front and back for in car view. We have the option to ON/OFF in car camera. Both lens quality is good, very clear and sharp video. I have attached a sample clip from my dashcam. The configuration of the dash cam is very simple to operate, its very easy to mount and dismount if you require to view the video clip. Just a simple press and slot it can be easily remove and mount, love this features. I might be considering getting the GPS unit for location tracking and speed displaying with simple top up of $20. It's another good thing about Vantrue as they design parts into modular to reduce selling price as some of us may not require of the parts so we do not need to pay extra for something that we do not need to use. HIghly recommended for anyone looking for a good and simple dash cam with modular add on anytime they required.

Excellent product that has all the features needed for rideshare drivers. Has excellent video quality and extremely easy to setup. Took me less than an hour to install and configure the dashcam with all the cables well hidden. Can not recommend highly enough.

This product is right what I need to document every minute while driving, proof evidence in case of accident, monitor the car while in parking, and more, this is amazing.

I’ve been using the Vantrue N2 Pro Uber Dual Dash Cam for a few months now, and I’m thoroughly impressed by its performance and quality. This dash cam delivers exactly what it promises — clear, crisp footage, day or night, front and rear! The dual 1080P recording is outstanding, capturing both the road ahead and the cabin interior with excellent clarity. When I drive solo, I switch to the 2.5K 1440P front-only mode, and the video quality is just phenomenal. The Sony sensor ensures every detail is sharp, even during high-speed travel or low-light conditions. One of my favorite features is the infrared night vision — the interior camera captures everything clearly, even in total darkness. It’s perfect for rideshare drivers like myself. The 310° wide-angle coverage ensures no blind spots, and the parking mode with motion detection gives me peace of mind when I’m parked. The build is sturdy and feels premium, and the 1.5” LCD screen is just the right size for reviewing footage without being distracting. Setup was straightforward, and the loop recording ensures I never run out of space. Overall, the Vantrue N2 Pro is a smart investment for anyone who values safety, documentation, and accountability while driving. Whether you’re a daily commuter, a rideshare driver, or a road trip enthusiast — this dash cam won’t disappoint

Product is very useful as per our requirement.
