So I ordered the Vantrue N5 to upgrade from my existing dashcam. The one I had previously recorded the outside of the front and back. I wanted something that would also record the inside. The installation was pretty easy. The only difficult part is running the cables and hiding them. Thankfully Vantrue includes a pry tool so you can pry along your doors and ceiling to hide the cables. Be careful when you mount as the included cleaning pad had some type of chemical that messed up the plastic piece I mounted the front camera to. I would recommend just using rubbing alcohol to clean the area before mounting.
As far as the video goes, it is super clear and great quality. It gets all the angles I need, including the front, driver and passenger, rear, and rear cargo. The quality is good enough to be able to get license plate numbers and the cameras lenses are wide enough to capture everything you would need. It has lots of other cool features like wifi connection to your phone, gps, speed detection, etc. It has a parking mode but I haven't really used it since I don't have a battery to hook it up to.
I would definitely recommend this camera for those who want to capture both outside and inside. It is perfect if you're driving uber or lyft or if you'd just like to protect yourself from all the bad drivers out there!

I found the night vision to be detailed and clear in low-light conditions, providing clear footage even during nighttime driving. The voice control feature adds an awesome layer of convenience, allowing you to operate the dash cam hands-free, ensuring your focus remains on the road ahead. Additionally, the GPS functionality provides accurate location data, which can be crucial in the event of an accident or dispute, and includes the standard info like the time, date, and license but I found the option to record the speedometer and long/lat and imbed the info the video to very helpful for when the recordings are offloaded from the system.
It took me a couple of hours to have the cables routed and neatly hidden while routing from the back of the car. I don’t know if this would be the same for everyone, but I have a mid-size SUV and went through more trouble than expected to make sure the cables were neither seen nor pinched once everything was close. I have not yet been able to make use of the 24-hour Buffered Parking or Sentry modes as this requires constant power but I hope to get the system wired to the battery at some point for this. When the option is set up with power, you gain the option for automatically recording any incidents or movements detected around your car, once parked.
My biggest complaint with use so far was the SD card restrictions where the system either didn’t detect it at all or complained that it was too slow to use so I had to purchase a new SD card before I could use or access the system at all. I do understand that it’s best in the long run as you wouldn’t want the system to fail due to an incompatible SD card, but it was just an unexpected inconvenience, so I recommend making sure to have a compatible card handy before purchasing the system. I would think at this price point that the SD card would be included, especially if the system requires specific speeds to be compatible with.
I found the menu and controls of the Vantrue N5 to be fairly straightforward with a user-friendly interface. Each camera can be displayed simultaneously or independently based on your view settings. Though keep in mind, that you’d be seeing this from a rather small screen compared to your phone. There are some items on the menus that could certainly do better with a little explanation or offer some detail as to what they are for. (Google is your friend). connectivity, of these options was the built-in WiFi connectivity which allowed for easy access to footage directly from your phone and to change settings without having to use the system menu directly. The WiFi option also allows for OTA updates to the system as taking it down and inside regularly would be a pain.
Overall, the Vantrue N5 is a complete (if not expensive) investment for any driver looking to enhance their safety and coverage on the road. With its comprehensive coverage, advanced features, and ease of use, it can offer peace of mind and protection on any trip, long or short.

A 360 degree dashcam that is easy to setup

Using the USB C cable that came with this dashcam (see attached picture), I was able to check all the features first to make sure everything is working fine before I installed it in my car. Installing this dashcam was very easy, I didn’t have to use any tool as I just ran the cables through the crevices of the side and roof panels of the car. I used the Vantrue OBD adapter for this N5 dashcam so that I don’t have to tap on the fuse box to utilize the parking mode. My setup worked out perfectly, I set the OBD cable adapter to turn off when voltage goes below 12 volts to prevent discharging the battery. Parking mode on the N5 works fine overnight, but sometimes it misses a few events since my battery voltage goes below 12 volts, so I need to adjust the threshold lower. One thing I love the most about this dashcam is the 5GHz option in Wifi. This option makes transferring videos and images from the dashcam to smartphone very quick and smooth.
The information that can be optionally embedded on the captured video are also very useful. Information such as date and time, speed, GPS coordinates, and your own license plate can be included in the video so that it can be used later in case of an event.
The video quality from this dashcam is very impressive. Attached to this review is the very first video (pardon my dirty tinted rear windshield) that I downloaded while testing out this dashcam. I didn’t attach the inside sample videos for privacy reasons, but with all 4 cameras, I can say that it does overlap with each other to capture all the surroundings in a 360 degree fashion. Images from this dashcam is clear enough to see license plates in case of an event. The mobile app for this dashcam is also well made, I was able to configure everything using the app instead of the menu in the camera, which is very convenient.
Overall, I’m impressed how much Vantrue has improved over the years. This N5 dashcam is high quality, easy to use, and produces high quality videos. Highly recommended.
